NICE-PRESIDENT TALKS ABOUT
THE CAMERON RESOLUTION.
Denials from Madrid As to the Set
tlement of the War-Cubans May
Have Home Rule.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Dec. ga
special to the Herald from st. Louis
says: THE Cameron resolution,
recognizing the Republic of Cuba will,
in my opinion, be sure to pass the
Senate" declared Vice President Ste,-
enson: 81 am not so sure about its
fate in the house, But believe that it
will go to the President. | would like
to say more, but l am not President.
l have no opinion to give of Mr.. Cleve-
lands probable action, because 1 have
not talked with him. You know, all
the papers know as much about the
Presidents ideas as | do. | think he
has sufficiently indicated them. | can
not say until after March whether |
thing recognition of the Cuban Re-
public would be the cause of war or
not"
MADRID, Spain, Dec. 29.--An en-
phatic semi-offical denial is given to
the statements cabled here as coming
| i
feet that Secretary of State Olney and
Senor Dupuy de LONE, the Spanish
Minister to the United States, had
practically terminated their negotia-
tions on the Cuban question and de-
failing the extent of the reform that
Spain would grant to Cuba under the
guarantee of the United States.
1t is also semi-officially denied that
the Government has questioned Great
Britain. France and Italy, regarding
their attitude in the event of wal
with the United States.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 29-While it is
not true that the Spanish Government
will accept the mediation of the
United States in giving autonomy tc
Cuba. it has been l.nown for some
weeks tnat the Spanish Ministry pro
pose giving the Cubans larger meas
ure of home rule than they have here
tofore enjoyed.
President Cleveland has been repeat t
edly assured that these reforms wouid
be inaugurated when the province ol
Pinar del Rio had been pacified. Il
was in this province that Gen. MaceC
and his followers have been located t
the last year, and since Maceo's death
the work of pacifcation has been con
siderably expedited.
The time is not far distant when the
home rule reforms will be institute,
there and also in the provinces of Ma
tanzas and Havana, where the insur
gents have never secured footholl
1t has been frequently asserted thai
Spanish intended reforms would hav,
been put in operation two years age
but for the insurrection and that the
insurgents started the rebellion il
order to prevent the reforms.
These reforms embrace the election
of a Cuban Congress, instead of q
mixed Congress of fifty elected mem
bers and fifty appointed by the Queer
by Cuba of her tariff
The Spanish ministry are under
stood to he engaged in drafting tho
proposed reforms, but thus far tn,
only knowledge regarding them is o
a general nature. 1t is believed thai
they would be completed within the
next fortnight, and it is not unlikely
that copy will be cabled to Secretary
Olney, by permission of the Spanish
Government.

CAPTURE A BIG sAEEPsAeAD.

New York Fishermen Have an Ix-
citing Time on Coney Islend.
There was great excitement in the
neighborhood of the old iron pier at
Coney Island, n. Y, the other day when
Commodore Harry Sturdevant sent
word to Lundy's hotel, near the pier,
that a school of mammoth fish had just
been sighted off the steamboat land
ing. Among those who heard the news
were Capt. Lundy and Capt. Andy Shee-
han, and party was at once organized
to capture the mysterious monsters of
the sea. After a hasty search several
big hooks and fish spears were brought
70 light, and party of dozen gallant
fishermen started for the pier head.
1t was not long before big head came
to the surface and Capt. Lundy called
for a spear. With swift stroke he
drove the three-pronged weapon at the
big fish, which darted for fathoms be-
low with a swiftness which pulled
Lundy from his perch and into the
water. He climbed aboard again, and
aided in the struggle which followed to
land the monster. 1t was q mammoth
sheepshead, weighing STA pounds and
measured 6 feet Az inches in length.

and dug up the bags of dust he had
buried there. Upon the discovery OF
the theft there was a great hue and
cry raised, sheriff's posse was called
in and young fellow from the east,
little better than tenderfoot, was ar
rested for the crime. He didn't look
guilty or act guilty, and there was a
good deal of sympathy for him among
the boys. Otherwise the regular for1nu-
la of justice might not have been OBJ
served.
"When the trial came on the young
man had lawyer that he had sent
for and who made it interesting for
the prosecutor, who relied largely upon
lung power and sledge-hammer blows.
Inside of two hours it was proved by
evidence that could not be questioned
that the accused had spent the entire
night with friend at his shanty three
miles from camp. Outside of what the
friend swore to, number had seen the
prisoner going out in the evening and
returning in the morning. Even the
prosecution was generous enough to
admit at last that perfect alibi had
been proved.
