Upon the Former Country Captain
General weyler's Military Operations i'm
Santa Clara Have Amounted to Nothing.
Chicago. March 26.-The Times Her
aid publishes the following from Wash
ington: Spain is at the end of her
string. and Cuban independence is in
sight This is the greatest news of the
day i'm the national capital. 1t is an
open secret in diplomatic circles that
Spain has practically abandoned the
effort TO crush the Cuban Instruction
lists. Forces stronger than the waning
political and military power of that de-
caying empire have compelled Spanish
statesmen 10 choose which they shall
save-Cuba or the Philippnes-and the
decision is i'm favor of the latter.
First upon the programme is a COM
plete autonomous government upon the
Canadian model, Spain merely retaining
the titular sovereignty. but actually
giving local self government to the peo-
pie of the island and with the United
States pledging payment of the war
debt, this will be SPANS first proposal,
but it will be rejected. The insurgents
will have none of it. and unless the
signs of the times are at fault Presi-
dent Mckinley will give it no counte-
nance.

Reached the Negotiation Stage.

The war in Cuba has now reached the
negotiation stage. The question of the
future is as to whether the people OF
the island will buy their independence
or whether they will win il by the
sword. They may easily do either. In
formation warranting these statements
have been received here within the last
few days. 1t is official information, sup
posed to be secret, but the secret is not
we'll kept. 1t is well understood in the
higher diplomatic circles that the end
is near in Cuba. The prediction is free
ly made that within a short time the
Spanish government will initiate nego-
tiations with the United States looking
to settlement OF the Cuban trouble.
After that will come the real ques-
ton upon what terms the Cubans will
treat for their independence. This is
financial problem 1t hinges wholly
upon the debt. Spain is now virtually
bankrupt and the best her statesmen
hope to do in losing Cuba is to rehabili-
ment the national credit, that the Phil
ippines may be saved. This is the sit
uation upon authority which is trust
worthy and not likely to be deceived

SPAIN WANTS WAR SHIPS,
But Can't Raise the Money to Pay
for Them.

London, Nov. IA number of coun-
tries are building ships in England,
among them being Chill, and it is sup
posed the government of that Republic
is willing to transfer to Spain three
cruisers which have been practically
completed by the Armstrong; in case of
need. The latter, however, is only will
ling to sell the three cruisers to Spain
for cash.
The ThompsOns finished six torpedo
boat destrOyers for Spain a year ago.
The firm delivered two of the boats and
is holding the others under the preteXt
of finishing them, but the general sup
position is that the ThOmpsons are
really holding the destroyers for pay
ment. One of the foremost fnanciers
of this country asserts that Spain is
unable to raise more money abroad, and
it is thought unlikely that she can pro-
cure warships on the promise of pay
ing for them by money she may raise
later on by international loans.
This refers to the statement OF the
Daily Chronicle that when the question
of finance was raised by the construct
ors of the cruisers which Spain would
like to purchase, the Spanish minister
of marine said that in the event of war,
the Spanish government could count
upon raising a large international war
loan.

DIsGUsTED WITH YALE
Walter Camp Predicts Double Defeat
for the Blue Eleven.

New Haven. Nov. 3.-Yale under
graduates are kept guessing at what
the policy of the present directors of
the football eleven really is. Game after
game has been played, and the minor
colleges have played Yale practically
tie contests. Every day the undergrad
yates have been looking for new plays
to be developed, but none has been
sprung, and now only seven days of
hard practice remains before the Har-
ward game
Yale can practice only four days more
this week, as she plays the Chicago
Athletic association here on Saturday,
and only three next week. as the team
must rest two days before meeting
Harvard.
No new plays of the mass formations
that are winning for Princeton, Penn
sylvania and Harvard have been tried,
and it is feared that it is too late to
learn them. The story of the distaste
of the present foot ball policy to Walter
Camp, for so many years Yale's head
athletic adviser and coach, is told by
his own pen in signed articles.
In one he says that Yale, when at
tackled acts like a beaten horse. In
another he states that Yale will be
handily beaten by harvard at Cam
bridge, and will be showed under here
by Princeton. Mr.. Camp has not coach
ed the eleven a day this fall, although
urged by many coaches here. His
statements in another signed article
that ''Yale'S defense is a thing of the
past and yale plays the straight
running game, not modern foot ball.
echo the sentiment OF the campus.
Meanwhile the management and coach
es are straining every effort to get to-
gether for final long pull, strong pull,
and all pull together.

HOME ELECTIONS IGNORED.
English Newspapers Give Their At
tention to New York.

London, Nov. 3.-The afternoon pa
pers yesterday published columns of
matter devoted to the municipal cleo
ton of Greater New York. The gossip
and prediction generally expressed the
opinion that Judge Van Wyck would
win The charge frequently made that
the English newspapers do not devote
enough attention to American affairs is
untenable in the present case. The st.
James Gazette pointed out that the
municipal elections in England are
quite overshadowed by the New York
election Thousands of Englishmen
who are quite familiar with the per-
sonalities of Messrs. Low, Van Wyck
and Tracy are entirely ignorant of the
fact that their own local rulers were
changed in the course of yesterday as
the account of these English elections
is only to be seen in obscure corners of
the English neWspapers.

LATE SPORTING NEWS.
Michael Has a Big Race on His
Hands.
Viii Attempt to Defeat McDuf-
fie and Titus in Two Nights.
five Mile R ace Paced by Fifty
Men-Per Cents of Cooley
and Gettman.

New York, Nov. Sired Titus left
for Chicago today, where he is to take
part in a paced race at the Coliseum
against Jimmy Michael on November
13. The distance will be % miles, and
the contestants will be paced by so men,
using all kind of muIticycles. Michael is
already on the ground, and Titus, who
has been riding here, will continue to
train with his pacemakers on a track
engaged in Chicago for that purpose.
McDufhe, who is to race Michael in
Chicago on November Il, will do all his
training in Philadelphia and leave for
the scene of the race with his pacemak-
ers a few days before the contest.
Chicago, Nov. 3.-Jimmy Michael has
evidently made up his mind he has IN
dertaken quite a task when he attempts
to defeat Eddie McDuffie and F. ]. I'll
tus, one after the other, in two nights,
which he proposes to do at the Colise-
um on November II and 13. The recent
record breaking trials of the IriShman
McDuffie has evidently scared Michael,
and as his training at Hammond, Ind,
was not satisfactory to him on ac-
ed up his pacing machines and OUTFIT
and shipped them to Atlanta, Ga,
where he proposes to train in mild
weather until November 8, coming
back to Chicago on November 10, in
time to take two days final preparation
on the indoor track, which will at that
time be completed at the Coliseum.
Titus arrives in Chicago tonight and
brings with him his whole outfit of
PAGERS and pacing machines, coming
here from New York. 1t is not known
as yet where Titus will train.
