CUBAN REFORMS.
TEXT OF WHAT SPAIN Is WILLING
TO GRANT.
Oubans Can Elect Petty Officers, But Spain
Must Appoint the Governor
General

New York. Jan. ga dispatch to
the Herald from Havana, says:
Your correspondent has seen an alb
solutely authentic draft of the home
rule measure which Spain is about to
concede to Cuba.
The act provides for legislative as
sembly, wholly active by an enlarged
suffrage and composed of a Senate and
Lower House besides having the sole
power to vote an especial budget for
the island this chamber has full DOW
er to draw up and control the whole
of what may be termed the imperial
expense of the army and navy OF
Spain, in so far as they are legitimate
ly shared by Cuba.
This budget of material expenses will
be sent to Madrid for the approval Of
the Cortes.
With the governor general is vested
the power to appoint all officials i'm
the Cuban government with the excep-
ton of the directors general, or collec-
tors Of the port and the secretaries
Of the governor general, and the civil
governors Of the provinces, who are 20
be selected by popular vote.
The reform measure was read to Mr.
Olney in Washington last December
by Minister DeLome and met his IN
qualified approval. Slight changes
have been made by the colonial minis
ter and council Of state at Madrid
before Secretary Olney gave his ap-
prevail. 1t is stated however, that they
are unimportant.
Liberal as the concession seems, il
is said that the Cuban government
will not accept any agreement to
which the United States is not directly
or indirectly party. The guarantee OF
arrangement is now being sought In
the commercial agreement being neso-
tiated at Washington. In the agree
ment Spain clearly recognizes the new
autonomy system in Cuba and any
failure to carry out the agreement now
or to abrogate in the future would be
a breach Of good faith with the United
monstrances and eventually, II neces-
sary, actual interference.
If the terms Of this pledge given by
Spain to the United States are sum-
GENTLY explicit and unmistakable WI
der this guarantee, the Cubans VIII
accept the reform bill, otherwise nei-
Their this nor any other agreement
however made will be accepted. This
has been said many times during the
last few days by the most authoritive
leaders in the civil councils of the in
surgents and may be regarded as final.

FITZ AJAWIN.'

New York, Jan. 2S.-Bob Fitzsim-
mons received the news that boxing
may be legalized in the state of Neya-
da rather indifferently.
Il am perfectly willing to box Cor
bett in Nevada" said Fitzsimmons last
night, but / fear that some obstacle
may be placed in our way. As I said
months ago, 1 am ready to go thou
sands Of miles to meet him and IL the
contest can be pulled of in Nevada
1 shall readily accept any proposition
Mr.. Stuart may make.
Nevada is all right if the governor
does not take notion to interfere with
the bout. There will be no fighting
about it. We both know how to box
and the better boxer will win. There
will be talk by reformers, Of course,
but 1 will take as many chances as
Corbett will"

THE FIRE DEMON.
DOES GREAT DAMAGE IN CINOIN-
MATT LAST NIGHT.
Large Malt House and Several Adjoining
Buildings Destroyed, Butailing
a Large Loss.

Cincinnati, o., Jan. 2S.-Bulletin, =
a. m.-The north section of Goerrer's
malt house, extending from Commerce
to Pond, between Race and Vine
streets, n tive-story building, is on fire
and is likely to be destroyed. The
section of GOepper's malt house on
the south side OF Commerce, equally
as large, is also in danger.
0verman and Schraeder's co~lage
building, adjoining Choppers, is also
in danger. Goeppers building is full
OF malt
At $40 a. IN. the fire is getting
away from the fire department. The
whole available force is out. A still
alarm has just called portion of the
fire department to Fourth and Broad.
way.
Loss on stock $4,000; loss on build.
ing 100000, so far.
Overman and Schraeder'S corlage
building is now on fire.
AT 3 O'Clock the fire has crossed
Commerce street and is in the south
division of the Herman Cooper malt
house, where the loss is likely to be
as great in stock, material and build
ih- as III ahN AioI III
At a. IN. the fire department has
gained control of the fire and the loss
will be between 100000 and $780,
600. Cooper is fully insured on
stock. At this hour it is impossible
to get the amount on the buildings.
Cincinnati,O., Jan. 2S.-Later.-At
O'Clock this morning fire alarm
was sounded, followed Immediately by
ten blows summOning the entire fire
department to the big five-story brick
malt house of Herman Cooper & Co,
between Vine and Race streets and
extending to Commerce Street,a depth
of 80 feet. This building, with its
heavy stock and material. was Who'll
ly destroyed except the walls. This
was formerly the Albert Schwill &
Co. malt house and was recently pur-
chased by Herman Cooper & Co.
The loss on the building and stock is
estimated at $350,000. Overman,
Schroeder & Cos. cOrdage warehouse
in the same building was destroyed
with contents and their loss is includ-
ed in the above estimate. The build
ingS belong to the Perrin estate. All
the burned property was on the north
side of Commerce street. On the
south side Of Commerce street, ex-
tending to Front street, was another
section of the malt house equally as
large and as well stocked as the one
destroyed. The fire caught in this
and it looked as if the block was
doomed, including large grocery
and tobacco house, but the tiremen
soon got the mastery. The Overman,
Schroeder COrdage company is in the
hands of a receiver. A powder house
two doors north of the fire ON Sec
ond street gave some alarm to spec
tators and kept the police clearing the
streets until the danger was practl-
cally over. Cooper & Co. are fully
insured. There We're doubtless dam
age and loss by water in adjacent
buildings but the loss cannot be as
certained as yet. A rough estimate
puts the loss at from 100000 to $780,
900. more likely the first figures, per-
haps even less.
The total loss will be less than $780,
