MADRID. April 2o.-The Queen Regent
at a Cabinet meeting to-day signed a
decree providing for the application OF

CUBAN HOME RULE.
WASHINGTON. ID. c., April 29-The
announcement from Madrid that the
Queen Regent has signed a decree ap-
plying the reform laws 10 Cuba. Is consid-
cred BY officials here as a realization or
the plans under negotiation for many
months TO give Cuba an autonomous form
of government. or home rule. The home
rule plan about 10 be applied was made
public IN detail by Minister Deputy De-
Lone in February last.
A council OF administration is created
for the government OF the affairs OF the
island. THIS council will be in the ma
ture of a parliament made up of thirty
one members. a majority OF them beng
elected by the Cubans a lesser num-
Der appointed by the throne. The Coun-
ell of Administrator is given practically
supreme control OF the island. subject 10
certain supervisory authority by the
home government. one Of the most i'm
portant features Of the plan is that al
lowing Cuba 20 revise her tariff schedule.

Of tho new year. Its actual applcitlon
