Havana, Oct. 27.-The failure of
the autonomist policy now of the
Spanish cabinet seems more and more
apparent every day. Discussions are
known to exist among the autonomist
leaders, and the conservatives have
pronounced themselves as strongly op-
posed to granting an autonomist form
of government to Cuba and have, so
to say, washed their hands of the CON
sequences which may follow if the
government at Madrid persists in car
rying out the plans of Premier Sagas-
ia. Conservatives last night held
meetings in this city at which several
speeches were made in opposition to
the policy of the Sagasta cabinet in
this direction. Francisco de Los San

and deputy, protested strongly against
the new policy of the Spanish gov
eminent, CHASING it as political sui

Washington, Oct. 27.-CCntirma-
ton from official sources is given that
the Spanish authorities at Madrid have
delivered to Woodford SPANS answer
to the representations of the United
States contained in Woodford's instruc-
tlons. Under these circumstances, it
is not doubted that the United States
minister has advised his associates
here on the essential features of the
reply. The text of the reply is known
to be very lengthy, so much so that
it is doubtful whether the full answer
will be sent by cable. The statement
is reattirmed by the officials here that
no publicity of Woodfords instruc-
TORS or SPANS answer will be made
at Madrid or Washington until after
the assembling of congress and it is
generally believed that the two gov
ernments have reached an understand
ing as to the holding back Of the let
ters for the present.

Away From Home.
The Missing Animal Causes a Social
Perturhation-H Is Arrested
ana Returned All Right.

Spot walked away from the Spanish
legation yesterday morning, or may hap on
the nigh before, aud there was considera bic
perturbation of spirit there OH that ac-
count. The internal loan, the mortga ge
on tie Airaada mines, the price of the
three new warships, made and builE to
keel, the peace with America, the abstract
OF Minister Woodfords s note, and other
grave issues, all gave way to the question.
Where Is spot2
Did ANYBODY know what had become of
spot? If ne or she did, the information
would be regarded az "a friendly office. if
trausmitied-either the information or
spot-to the Spanish legation.
s-Spot'' is fox terrier belonging TO the
SIelish embassy, and was missing yeSteI
da; morning. He was supposed to be
rec1nccntrado i'll some alley of Washing
ton. " here Ee was doug some filibustering

thai ii anybody saw him and called him
spot . the intelligent animal would wag
lis tail hidalgically and fraterniZe, for
Which reason he would be easier TO find
than the gone but not forgotten Dorsey
FaUltz Besides Spot had black ears
aid white spot on the forehead. The
color of the ground on which the spot
appears was not given, but that was i'm
material principally because he was a
fox terrier.
This Was all that was given out Officially
about Spot yesterday morning, when the
out-danned- spot sensation was reported
tu the central police bureau. All OF the
other American bureaus joined in the hue
end cry, but it " as reserved for the Third
police precinct to report that he had been
found and returned, penitent and wet, to
the legation
Nobody knows what made Spot tired OF
the Spanish legation. He has nice home
there. and hasn't opened his head to The
Times on any question for a great many
months. No information could be had al
