a certain Spectator. says the London
| Telegraph, had need of large sum OF
| money for his operations and found him
self with n very small balance in the
bank. He consulted friend as to how
he could get over the emergency. The
friend suggested that he should draw on
somebody in another city. The operator
said he knew no one that owed him, and
the friend insinuated that that would
make no difference If the draft did not
return too soon.
The operator reflected time and then
wrote out draft on the sultan of Turkey
for f20OO and deposited ii in the bank.
The draft came into the hands of the
Rothschilds, who forwarded it to Con-
stantinople, and 1t was duly presented to
the sultan's chamberlain.

Madrid, Nov. 23.-Premier Sagasta's
reply today to Catalan deputation for
mally declared that the government of
Spain could in no way modify its pro-
gram of autonomy for Cuba.
Continuing, the premier expressed the
hope that the Cuban assembly would
elect a commission which would CO.
operate with Il Spanish commission in
determining the commercial relations be.
tween Cuba and Spain by consulting
their mutual interests. This is inter
preted as meaning that the cabinet will
adopt the scheme of Senior Moret, the
minister for the colonies, who, as cablcd
to the Associated Press yesterday, an
nounced to the Catalan delegation that
he had fully considered the general in
terests of the colonies and was convinced
that his policy alone would lead to a
peaceful solution. Continuing, Senior
Moret explained to the Catalan dele
gates that in dealing with the colonies
and not merely certain industrals must
be considered.
In conclusion, the minister announces
MS intention OF maintaining his opinions
before the cabinet, and if his colleagues
disagreed with him he was prepared to
resign. which step now seems to have
been avoided.
The cabinet in council has approved
the article in the autonomy scheme Civ
ing the Cubans the control Of the GUS
toms. Its terms will not be published
until it has received the sanction of the
| queen regent.
In addition to the granting of autono-
nous tariff fer Cuba the following re-
forms have been proposed:
The chamber of deputies of the island
| shall be composed of between forty and
fifty. members, deputy for each 10000
of the population.
The governor general il to choose from
this chamber five members to form an
| executive committee, consisting of u
president and ministers of the interior,
| finance. justice and public works.
The governor general shall have the
right to veto legislation.

garian minister, In his recent address to
the delegations when he appealed to all
Europe to unite against "the destructive

by a monetary barrier raised by America,
which would hasten the advance Of

The authority cited by the correspond
