REFORMS FOR CUBA.

1t Is Also Reported That San0Willy May
BE Pdrdoned.
LONDON, Eng, Jan. 15.-A dispatch
from Madrid says that the Cabinet council,
over which the Queen Regent presided,
has decided to Immediately introduce re-
forms in Cuba. The decree putting the
reforms into effect will be published on
the Kings fete day. The dispatch also
says it is probable that Julio San gully,
the American citizen recently sentenced
in Havana to life Imprisonment, will be
granted free pardon.
LONDON. ENG, Jan. 15.-The Madrid
correspondent of the Standard confirms
the statement that the Spanish Govern
ment has decided to i'm mediately effect
reforms in Cuba. 1t is added that the
Government Is taking such q serious step
Oh the event of Mr.. Mckinley's advent to
office, hoping to clearly indicate that 1t
acted spontaneously in going even beyond
the power voted by the Cortes, for which
The latter must grant bill of indemnity.
The reforms will show to what extent the
Government Is prepared to go, and that it
is gradually preparing the colonies for
autonomy, without yielding the rights OF
Spain and Parliament. 1t will also soon
be seen that Spain is disposed to make
sacrifices in connection with the Cuban
budget. The reforms viii not be realized
without seriously ciashing with Spain's
material interests Spaniards look with
!mpatience and anxiety 70 the effec. the
reforms will have in America.

MAY SOON END THE VAR.
Senator Sherman Thinks That SDoEn
HiI Grant Autono1uu

Senator Sherman Think, That Spain
Hiu Grant Autonomy.
PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. 15-sepator
Sherman passed through Pittsburg TO-
night, en- route from Canton to Washing
ton. On the subject OF Cuba Senator
Sherman said:
1T begins to look as though Spain
would grant Cuba some kind Of autonomy
which will speedily end the war. If the
Spanish Government would grant to the
people OF Cuba the same rights that are
accorded to the people of Spain it would
have much to do with ending the strug-
gle. l am in favor of non-interference
with the affairs of Cuba. About all we
want to do is to buy products of the
island and sell her all the goods we can
I do not believe there is any reliable news
coming from the war.
\ I'VE have no knowledge of what our
representative, Mr.. Lee, reported to the
President except as might be inferred
from the message, and one can readily un-
derstand that it might be embarrassing TO
him, in his relations with the Spanish
authorities at Havana, if the full text of
his report were made public. We do
know, however, that the reports from
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1897-01-16

Cuba, published in the newspapers every
morning, are very unreliable"
How about an extra session of Con-
gress?" Senator Sherman was asked.
at is absolutely certain that We will
have an extra session, and the earlier it is
held the better. 1t is very necessary that
we should have a prompt readiustment OF
the tariff and it is probable tina. the extra
session will be confined TO tariff legisla-
ton exclusively, though you know Con-
gress can consider any subject once it is
called in session."
"Who will probably succeed you, Sens-
tor, as chairman OF the Foreign Relations
Com mittee? p
Probably Senator Cushman K Davis
of Minnesota, though Senator William P
Frye of Maine is next in order of appoint
ment to place on the committee. Mr.
Frye, believe, will prefer to remain a
the head OF the Committee on Commerce. u

NEW YORK, \. Y. Jan. 16.-A speci al

tions with the United States TO bring
about peace in Cuba, Premier Canovas
says in an interview Published in the I'm.

He authorized the paper to deny the re-

are entirely unfounded.
