The senate Monday passed a bill OF
great importance to the people OF the
West and Northwest. 1t is a bill which
has been pressed before the senate by
Mr.. Pettigrew Of South Dakota and a
favorable report was made upon 1T by
the committee on public lands at the
last session. The measure provides that
all persons who have lost their home
steads at the regular price OF Sl.2o an
acre and who now do not own more THAI
forty acres Of land, shall be permitted to
take an additional homestead under the
provisions of the homestead law. 1t il
SAID that there are many settlers in the
Northwest who had proved upon then
homesteads and later lost them OF
mortgages during the dull times OF tho
past few years, and such persons would
have an opportunity to begin IN
der the bill. There was no oppo
sition TO the bill in the senate, but 1T Wi
probably be bitterly antagonized in TIN
house.

General B!ancO Invites EXiles to
Return to Cuba, Promising

New YORK, Dec. l6.-A dispatch to
The Herald from Havana says: The
Cuban leaders in the field are adopting
every possible method to prevent even
the thin edge Of the wedge of autonomy
entering the ranks. They not only
absolutely refuse to discuss autonomy
themselves, but they are determined in
their efforts not to allow Spain7s offers
of self government to be laid before the
insurgent troops. All emissaries who
dare to carry the olive branch to the
field are hanged if caught. Seventy
five per cent OF the rebel soldiers are
kept in ignorance Of the terms Spain
offers.
There is reason for this strict censor.
ship on the part of the insurgent chiefs.
There are rebels and there are subordin.
ate rebel officers who are tired Of war and
it's accompanying hardships and who
would lay down arms if liberal home rule
were guaranteed. There are not many
of these, it is true, bpt, small as the
number is, their desertion would have
a far.reaching moral effect. General
Gomez and his generals realize this,
and hence will tolerate no consldera'
ton of autonomy.
It is asserted that the attitude on the
part of Gomez and the other most prom
inent leaders of the revolution, accounts
in a measure for the mystery surround
ing the recent meeting of the Cuban
assembly to elect a president and othe1
officials. There is circumstantial evi
dence at hand to prove that the news
published last September Of Senior Ca
pote's election as president was correct
After acting as president for nearl,
three months Senior Capote was re
placed by Senior Masso because the for
mer was q man of peace and a far.see
ing lawyer and as such might be in
clined to listen to proposals OF au

Count Won Coadenhove, governor Of
Bohemia, will be dismissed and re-
placed by David Won Rhenfeld, gov

of Prague will be removed, it is said,
and the town council dissolved. The

Washington correspondence of the
18th speaks thus of the free homestead
bill which John H. King was trying to
raise funds to advance on the calendar:
The free homestead bill, which passed
the senate at the last session, is still
slumberlng in the house committee,
where 1t WAS left at the close of the last
session, and there is evidence to show
that with the opposition which the
Eeastern representatives will make to it
there will be difficulty in getting the bill
through. The measure will call for the
ultimate expenditure from the public
treasury of a sum %variously estimated at
from fifteen to twenty millions of dollars,
and notwithstanding the merit OF the bill
which seeks to equalize conditions
among those who have purchased lands
which should have been opened to home
stead entry with those who had the
benefit of the homestead act, in the
present state of the Treasury it is difficult
to get such a measure considered.
