court, after having been in the courts

cases have an interesting history which
recalls the numerous and haTd-f0ught le

productive of more litigation in Dodge

The late W. L. Ramhusch was for
years receiver for the great marsh and as

AUTONOMY FOR CUBA.
But Spain will Try to Saddle the
War and Other Debts on
the Little Island.

London, Oct. A special dispatch
from Madrid, published here this after
noon, gives the substance Of an interview
between newspaper correspondent and
an unnamed member of the new Spanish
cabinet. The latter is quoted as saying
that Senor Sagasta will carry out the
Cuban reforms proposed by Marshal Mar
tneZ de tampos ten years ago. These in
clude the granting of autonomy 10 Cuba
on conditions that she shall take over the
Cuban debt, including the war debt. and
accept Spain customs tariff.
Continuing. the new cabinet minister
is said to have declared that Premier
SagaSta would not consent to customs
union between the United States and
Cuba. and that if the former were not
satisfied Spain was prepared to fight, as
the Spanish navy was regarded equal in
strength 10 the navy Of the United
States.
Further. if necessary, Spain. according
to the cabinet minister, would have re-
course to privateerng.
In conclusion. the new minister is al
legged to have said il was improbable that
Spain would consent to recognize the i'll
surgent debt. but Premier Sagasta would
not prevent the new Cuban government
dealing with it.
