American government and to conciliate
the majority Of the Cubans--expeclalay

detach from the insurrection.
Many obstacles may retard the realiza-
tlon of the liberal programme. this high
diplomat continued.
First. the condition of the island makes
the execution Of reforms and the taking
Of elections very difficult.
Secondly, the division in the autonomlst
party makes it's support unreliable just
when the government wants It to be the
corner stone of the new regime.
Thirdly, the ambiguous attitude Of the
so-calied Spanish party. the constitutional
union makes mischief as Its proffered
support Is conditional on the government
making no large extension Of the electoral
franchise as that would deprive 1t OF the
control OF tho municipal and provincial
councils and the insular assembly.
Fourthly, the creation Of a local as

exceedingly unpopular in Spain and is

Hence the anxiety OF the court and the
governmenr to secure the good will OF the
United States, which is shown In the adop-
tion OF a new colonial policy in making
promises to settle the American claims
after pacifieation and in holding out pres
pect of advantages for American trade and
capital in the Spanish West Indies
Views on these delicate ma tiers are to-

following letter to the governors of the
several states III reference 10 the prison
congress to be held in Austin. October
10 10 20, inclusive:
Executive Office, Austin, July 30, 1887.
Dear Sir-Thc next annual prison con
grcss will convene in this city, October
1G. and its sessions will continue until
and including the 10th.
1t is scarcely necessary to suggest the
great importance of this congress and
The widc-reaching effects its deliberations
may have upon the prison population of
the several states. One of the chief plr-
poses of prosecutions for crime being the
reformation of criminals, no more hut
name and laudablc work can command
public attention than the care and treat
ment of conyicts with the view of re-
turning them to the ranks of good clti-
zenship.
At the season of the year when the con-
grcss will be held the weather here Will
be agreeable and pleasant. The citizens
of Austin are public spirited and Hospital
bic. and thus. besides advancing n great
cause, the delegates will have an oppor-
tunity of seeing under favorable rOndi-
tons our great state and judging for
themselves of our lmitless RESOURCES and
future destiny. 1t is probable. also, that
an excursion to Mexico after the close of
the congress can he arranged III Il low

| therefore respectfully request that
you appoint such number of persons in
tcrested in prison reform rs in your
judgment may be proper as delegates to
this congress. Very truly yours.
