MK1NLEY's POSITION,

Washington. October 5.-DeveIOpments
IN Cuba within the next thirty days Will
definitely determine President McKin-
iey's attitude upon the Spanish question.
bur .ie expects no trouble. The admin
isrration looks with favor on spain's
change Of policy. and believes the min
istry is sincere in its endeavor TO bring
about speedy termination OF the strife
In Cuba by granting substantial reforms
whIs not fully advised as 70 Spain's
reply 20 Secretary Sherman's note. pre-
ssnted by Minister woodtord IN sep;em-
Der. It's general character Is known here
and 1t is not anticipated BY the presl-
dent that any friction will arise between
the two countries as a result Of the
exheaEge Of notes.
The prime object the president had IN
view when General woodford wens TO
Madrid was bringing about an improved
condition of affairs IN Cuba before con-
gress reassembled. Spain's reply and her
Instructions to the new eaptain-general
Of Cuba VIII show an advanced step In
that direction. But the administration
rs more concerned about the rapid change
Of policy than It Is about the character
Of spain's reply to Minister woodford's
Representations. They have no reason to
fear that Spain win take an aggressive
stand against the United States. On the
contrary. they are sure Of note friendly
and conciliatory in tone. The president
realizes. however, the danger OF further
agitation by congress and a further dis
turDarce OF our interests II something
more substantial than the mere promises
OF Spain TO grant autonomy cannot be
furnished when the new session begins
1t can hardly be expected that General
Blanco within month after his arrival
will be able to end the war. but If it can
be shown that an advanced step has
been taken in that direction. President
Mckinley may by forwarding the CORES
pondence which has passed and calling
attention to an improved condition in
Cuba, be able TO pacify congress long
enough to give Spain chance thoroughly
to establish her new reforms. Hence it
appears that the wording OF the presi-
dents forthcoming message depends upon
the immediate effect OF General Banco's
arrived in Havana, the PRONUNCIATION Of
an amnesty proclamation of new auton-
omist reforms and the abandonment of
the reconcentrado policy.

NEW CABLE CONSTRUCTION.
Invention to Increase the Power
in Long Lines.

Prof. Silyanus P. Thompson, of the
Royal Society of England, has invented
a system of cable construction by
which he expects not only to increase
the capacity of the present lines, but
to make practicable the covering of the
$500 miles which seperate Hawaii from
North America.
His plan is to make cable with two
separate conductors inclosed in the
same armor, so as to form complete
circuit, and every 100 or $50 miles he
viii introduce stretches Of cable with
three such conductors, the third being
wire of high resistance, the purpose
of which is to act as sort of artificial
and protected leak. One end of this
third wire will be connected with the
positive conductor and the other with
the negative one. BY this device the
static charge in one wire will neutral.
ize that on the other, and all retarda-
ton will be avoided The expectation i:
to multiply four or five times the mum

cables.
