the Frontier.
Vienna, Feb. 6.-Michael Munkacsy,
the famous Hungarian artist, is very
Ill. IT is said a short time ago he was
placed in a private insane asylum near
Bonn, and that in all probability he
will never be able to work at his easel
again. Last November he was strick-
en- with what was announced as paral-
ysis of the spine,- but his recovery was
later reported.
OF late years Munkacsy began to feel
that his inspiration at Paris, where he
had executed so many works, was ex-
hausted, and he longed to return to
his native Hungary. where he had been
rendered the high position of director
of art at Buda-Pesth, and where he had
been commissioned to complete the
decorations of the public buildings be-
gan by Hans Markart. He accepted
this honorable position and returned
only last year, when stricken by paral-
ysis of the spine. he was obliged to cease
work for while. His recent collapse,
which has deprived him of his reason,

New York, Feb. 6.-Senor Palma, the
head of the Cuban junta in this city,
was asked If the insurgents would lay
down their arms upon the promulgation
of the plan of reforms for the admins
tration of Cuba. He declined to an
swer categorically, but said: Had
genuine autonomy instead of sham re-
forms been offered to the people or
Cuba, before they rose in arms, the
Cubans would surely have accepted 1t.
and therefore bloodshed and total dew
astation of the island would have been
averted.
IF the Cuban people did not accept
the sham reforms then, and rose In
arms for independence, how would they
accept them now, or enter into any
kind of compromise which has not for
its basis the absolute independence OF
the island? They are sure of success.
and one thing is certain, the Cubans
never again will place their necks un-
der the Spanish yoke. They nave
proved that they are able to conquer
the Spaniards and govern themselves.

Bimetallic Conference.

Paris, Feb. 6.-Senator Edward o..
Wolcott, of Colorado, had an interview
with Premier Meline. The correspond
ent of the Associated Press learns on
authority that the interviews which he
has so far had have been without the
result hoped for by the senator. the
interview with President Faure was
short and formal. and afforded no en-
couragement to look for tangible re-
suit. M. Loubet. president of the sem
ate, in his interview with Senator VOL
colt, is understood to have expressed
himself enthusiastically on the subject
of bimetallism, but Premier Meline was
very guarded In his expressions at a
conference. He Is reported to nave
said that however favorable France
might be to the object sought nothing
could be done unless the consent OF
England and Germany was previously
obtained.
In official quarters little confidence Is
