New York, Nov. 3.-Gen. Hanco. in an
interview with representative of the
Herald at Havana, said:
Il cannot at present outline TO you in
more detail than the Herald has already
published the reforms that will be inn
planted in Cuba, because final arrange
ments could not be made until had thor
oughly studied the actual situation. But
1 can assure you of this, that Spain viii
grant all the reforms asked for by the
autOnomists, reforInists and the Liberal
party.
the complete plan for the reforms will
be made public here in a few days, as
soon as tie minor details rega riding SUI
frage has been arranged. Spain realizes
now that the Cubans are ripe TO govern
themselves, and is willing to grant ample
self government
Spain, he GAINED, had always been a
grandmother 20 Cuba. The only delay
now in putting the reforms in operat ion
was IN ascertaining the best system Of
suffrage, and convincing the Cubans that
the offers were genuine.
Gen. P!dnoo said he thought the
rebels would alter their attitude to the
reforms. There would never be a govern
ment OF the country by the country. Many
CuhdBs, he thought, were satisfied to &C
oept autonomy, and without the support
Of these The rebellion must soon fall

with the rebels, because such course
would not be consistent with SPANS dig

his hoIue would bc wide open, and all that
had PASSED would be forgotten. He is
sanguine that in the end all good Cubans
would return 10 allegiance TO Spain.
"Spaln," said Gen. Blahco, has not
been brought TO grant the reforms by out
side pressure, but because OF a desire To co
Justice. But | am not here tG allow the
Cubans &C. become complete owners OF this
island. I should be very sorry 10 shedCuban
blood because l am fond OF the country and
the people. but IL the Cubans do not accept
the peace proposals, then i am prepared 20

which have been destroyed by the Labor
of the reCunccntradcs and paCificos, and
will cnGcavor To restore them 10 normal
conditions. Without censuring Gen Weyler
or his methods, he differed with him.
Gen. Banco declined to say anything re-
garding the condition OF the Spanish
army i'm Cuba, but said he would devote
his attention 90 the welfare of the troops,
and yvhe;ever he found cUmmissariat or
other frauds, would punish with heavy
hand.

dren. boys end girls. The younger children,
playing I'm tie street, learned to TAX Eng
lish rapidly. Ida remained indoors and kept
herself busy about the house. Her mother
and father both understood and cOnVersed
In the-Enciish language.
The result was that the eldest daughter
found herslefisolated from the family. Her
brothers and sisters and mother and father
as well teased her about her ina biity tO
learn TO speak like the rest Of the family,
and the younger ones were accustomed to
gather around her and tease her until she
became frantic with rage.
This pleased the children. The unfor-
tunate young woman became morose, and
finally size had a fit. Then she had
several fits at short intervals. These fits
became SO frequent that a doctor wa S
called in, and he prescribed medicine
which relieved her. The children kept up
their teasing, however, For days at q
time the young woman refused TO talk To
anybody i'm the house aud went about NUT
tering 10 herself.
The young children came in from the
street yesterday afternoon and began as
usual TO tease their sister. Suddenly she
jumped from the Chair i'll which she was
seated and, Selling the youngest Of the
children, She lifted 1T clear off the ground
and was about to swing il around her
head To strike another OF the family
when she was restrained by one Of her
brothers
The young woman became frantic. She

A CUBAN OFFICER CAPTURED.
Gossip About What Blanco VIII Do

Havana, Nov. 3.-The insurgent captain
Rabena was captured yesterday near Ha-
vana ty tht Spanish guerrilla forces OF
Luyano, Havana and San Miguel del Pad
ron. IL Is not known yet what his fate
will be. According TO the military law In
force here, he will be court-martialed but
whether a death sentence will be passed
upon him, as was the usage under Gen
Weyier, or whether Gen. Blanco will be
more merciful than his predecessor is not
announced.

interest. Though he is not an inportan ut
