NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-The Journal

offer of mediation was simply a cover
under the American government Sc
cretly proposed to help. Spain to over
throw and suppress the republic Of
Cuba and to enforce peace in thai
island on terms which the patriot army
would not accept. This offer was
not made in the form of a written doc

channels, but, for the sake of greater
secrecy, was conveyed in a verbal
statement made by Secretary Olney te
the Spanish minister at Washington
De LONE, who ca bled the whole mat.
ter to Madrid. The understanding
was that if Cuban leaders refused to
lay down their arms upon conditions Of
local self-government to be pro-
posed through the United States, the
whole influence and power of the
American government would be exert
ed to crush the new republic.
THE slightest investigation by con.

fact in this well-concealed conspiracy
againt the Cuban republic is that in

not presented any Of the claims for
damages arising out of the destruction
of American property in the present
war.
my Investigations in Madrid show
that. notwithstanding Cleveland's
empty expressions of sympathy for Gu

and deliberate enemy.
HE has searched the records for
pretexts to avoid pressing the just

Share in the Control of Local Affairs.
WASHINGTON, Jan. ACCORDING to
custom, the secretary of state and Mrs.
Olney entertained the diplomatic corps
at breakfast at their residence at noon
Friday. About $50 were present. Mrs.
Olney was assisted in receiving by Mrs.
George Gray, Mrs. Sheridan, Mrs Nc
Clellan, Mrs. Charles H. Davis, Mrs.
Hogue, Mrs. Endicott, Mrs. Thomas
Nelson Page, Mrs. Minot, her daugh-
ter and number of young girls.
In the afternoon Mr.. and Mrs. Olney
received callers.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2-The effect of
the reforms proposed by the Spanish
government for Porto Rico, when ex-
tended to Cuba, as is proposed when
the instruction has been brought UNI
der further control, will be to create
three series of administrative bodies in
the island, independent of the repre-
sentatives of Cuba in the Spanish
cOrtes- The voters under a sys-
tenn of limited suffrage, are al.
ready permitted to choose the
boards of aldermen of municipal
from these boards by vote of their
members. The next body in rank IS
the provincial assem- bly,, of which there
is only one in Porto Rico, but one for
each of the six provinces of Cuba. The
functions of the provincial sembly
are largely united with those of the
proposed council of administration in
the case of Porto Rico, because there IS
but one body. The council of admins
tration will be an independent body in
Cuba, and will, for the first time, give
the Cubans a large share of control
over their internal domestic concerns.
The home government will retain con-
troll of the laws levying taxation, and
will reserve the right to renew the
budget of appropriations. but the APP
preparations will be made by the coun-
Gil of administration, subject to the
approval of the ministry at
Madrid. The Spanish govern
ment does not propose at pres
ent to widen the limits of the
suffrage which extends to persons pay
ing combined tax OF five dollars and
to several of the learned professions.
The reforms in contemplation for Cuba
are largely those which were embodied
in the decree of March Is, 1895, but
which have not yet been put in force
because of the insurrection. Changes
which have been proposed in this law
will require to be submitted to the
cortes at their meeting in the spring,
but it is not doubted that the plans
proposed by the ministry will be ac-
cepted

pared with 1895 of $24, 6SS, 266, or about

traordinary, the total gain amounting
to 81, $40, l56 pounds. The production of
gold reached the great total of ST., OO0,-
600, a gain of $40, 169, 800 This extra
ordinary advance, which far surpasses

States far in the lead of the producing
countries. Our output of gold was no
less than 26 per cent? of the total re-
ported for the entire world.
The production of pig iron has been
S,76S, 1863 long tons. The decrease from
1895 being only 677, 439 tons or about Z
per cent.
The production of lead from domes-
tic ores amounted to IT'S, TT short tons,
showing an increase of 90, 500 tons over
the preceding year. In addition to
this there were $4,000 tons produced

ported bullion.

decrease of 966 TASKS from the previous
year. The production continues to
come wholly from the California
mines.
The production of silver from do
nestle ores reached total of 40, 1885,
173 fine ounces, showing a decrease of
S65, O62 ounces. There were produced
or refined from foreign ores and bull
lion by our smelters and other works
no less than 10000, 900 fine ounces of
silver, making the total quantity re-
fined or put into final marketable form
in this country s., 465, 173 fine ounces.
The total production of spelter Or
commercial zinc for 1896 amounted to
", 044 short tons, showing decrease of
Alta tons from that of 1895.
The output of bituminous coal was

4,371, 752 tons. On the other hand there
was a decrease of 6, 7S2, O57 short tons
in the anthracite production.

ROYAL DECREE,
signed by the Queen Regent, Guarantes.

! Ing Reforms in the System of Govern
ment In Porto Rico.
MADRID, Jan. I'm the council OF
ministers, presided over Friday by her
majesty, the queen regent. royal de-
cree was signed which apply to the
island of Porto Rico the laws of re-
of March, 1895.
The pream BILE to this decree is of the
greatest Importance, because of the
statements it contains regarding Cuba.
1t begins by explaining the reasons
why the reforms are applied to-day
and wherefore this has not been done
before. Amongst other paragraphs it
contains the following:
In the actual circumstances the gov.
eminent considers that the proper
time has arrived for giving to the
world ample proof of it's firm resolve
to fulfill the engagements voluntarily
contracted by the nation by implant-
ing and carrying into effect, in Porto
Rico the reform of the system of gov.
eminent and civil administration.
voted by the cortes and sanctioned by
her majesty, and which, conveniently
enlarged and extended, will be applied
in due time to Cuba.
In unfolding the basis of reforms
with that scrupulous care which the
complex nature of the case and its
many and varied problems demand.
the undersigned minister hassbeen in.
spired with sense of the necessity Of
ample administrative decentralization,
and has proceeded to the utmost limit,
which the actual law allows without
dimunltion of the inherent sovereignty
of the nation. At the same time, true
to the solemn promise made before
parliament by its president, the
government proposes to give 9
more ample scope to the reforms when,
as herald of peace, the happy moment
arrives for the definite application OF
the reforms to both the Antilles. As
soon as possible her majesty's govern
ment will hasten to apply to Cuba, moi
only the reforms which form the
groundwork of the law applied to Porto
Rico, but also will extend to both prov
inces the reforms which have been
offered with the view of conferino
upon both Antilles an administrative
and economic personality of local.
character, which shall facilitate the
complete intervention of the country
in its own affairs, maintaining, at the
same time, intact, the right of sover.
eighty and the conditions necessary to
the maintenance of that right, as was
stated in the words her majesty deigneG
to address to the cortes by the advice
of her responsible government upon
the opening of parliament.
Briefly the law OF reforms voted by
the cortes and sanctioned by the crown.
which is to-day to be applied to Porto
Rico, will form the foundation stone
of the new regime; but an additional
decree, account of which will be given
to the cortes, will amplify to such an
extent these reforms that a genuine
home administration will be consti
tuted in our Antilles in the first in.
stance for Cuba. but to be extended to
Porto Rico as soon, and at the same
time as it may be possible to apply tc
the former island. TETUAN

are left-handed, if the expression may
be used about creatures that have no
hands. Several different biologists
have noticed this condition Parrots

claw, the lion strikes with the left paw
and so competent an authority as Dr.
Livingstone, the African explorer, as

are left-handed.
