RELIEF GIVEN CUBA.
SAcASTA MINISTRY DECIDES TO
GRANT AUTONOMY.
Campaign to Be Continued So Long
as Rebellion Exists-Wey1er Declares
He Will Not Resign Seven Girls
Die in a Fire.
spanish Bntcher Defiant.

At a cabinet council in Madrid the
Spanish Government decided to grant au-
tonomy to Cuba under the suzerainty Of
Spain, and to continue the campaign as
long as may be necessary. Senor Sagasta,
the premier. has received cable mes
sage from Captain General Weyler, who
offers his services to the Government and
says: II shall not resign" Senor Gallon,
minister Of foreign affairs, explained to
the cabinet the position of the diplomatic
negotiations with the United States.
The first important step of the new
Spanish Government was the decision to
grant autonomy to Cuba. So far as learn
ed in the meager kilograms received this
plan Of autonomy is to be subject to the
suzerainty of Spain. Informa ton is lack
ing as to its scope over legislation and
taxation, the most significant factors in
the self-government of any country. From
the fact, however, that the statement is
made that the Sagasta ministry intends
to continue the campaign in Cuba so long
as rebellion exists, the logical deduction
is that the autonomy agreed on is limited
that it will not satisfy the insurgent
leaders.
But whether limited ~or liberal, it is
feared this concession to the rebels will
create a storm in Spain. Taken in con-
nection with dispatch saying that Wey-
Ter has refused to resign as captain gen.
eral, thus compelling the Sagasta gov
ernment to recall him, the affair will fur
nish effective campaign material for the
Spanish conservatives. The latter will
undoubtedly point to Weyler's determined
operations against the Cubans and tell
the electors that his withdrawal means
the island will be lost to Spain. With
relation to American intervention, Sa-
gasta's step is considered shrewd diplo-
macy in that it will tend to postpone a
settlement Diplomats say that Amer
ica's hands are now virtually tied until
the autonomy plan is given a trial in
Cuba

PANIC AT A BIG FIRE.
Residents of Chicago Stock Yards Dis
trict TerroriZed by Flames.

tElCt ~ II
Ten acres of ground a waste of ashes,
the homes of dozen families destroyed,
the entire Chicago stock yards district
threatened by flames, five persons injured
and one said to be burned to death, and a
property loss Of over $4,000. This is the
result of fire that for two hours We'd
nesday afternoon had the people living
near the stock yards in n panic of terror
that led them 10 believe that the great
,confagration of 1871 was to be duplicat-
ed almost on its twenty-sixth anniversary.
The flames were first seen in one Of the
stock yards horse barns, just opposite the
end of Forty-fOurth street at Halsted,
little before 3 o'clock. They spread with
startling rapidity. The attendants who
rushed to the rescue of the 800 horses be-
ing kept there were chased from stable to
stable by the flames, and their duty was
only accomplished at the imminent risk
of their lives. In fifteen minutes it was
evident that the horse barns were doomed
beyond any possibility of salvation. In
thirty minutes their destruction was so
nearly complete that their frameworks
had disappeared and nothing but mass
Of flames and fire marked their location.
The whole region was in panic and
men came hastily from every side to aid
the firemen in their struggle to save the
surrounding buildings. The wind that
blew strongly from the south carried the
flames and burning pieces of timber di
rectly upon the great doomed pavilion,
which is the center of the whole horse
traffic in the yards. At 5:3O o'clock the
flames finally were got under control.
The fire was the worst that has taken
place in the stock yards district for many
years. The drought of the past months
and the heavy wind that was blowing
combined to make its progress very easy.
The fremen, who were called from all
parts of the city to fight it. came exhaust
ed from hard work in keeping down the
prairie fires that had been threatening
the suburbs in half dozen places, and
were in poor condition to work against

vENEZUELA'S PRESIDENT.
Gen. Ignacio Andrade, Whose Election
Is Announced.

The election of Gen. Ignacio Andrade
as president of Venezuela is regarded as
n signal victory for the proposed arbi
tration between Venezuela and Great
Britain. Gen. Andrace has always been
an earnest advocate of that means foi
settling the long-standing disputes. His
election was considered for time in
doubt, owing to the violent opposition OF
political schemers in the Venezuelan con
gress to the treaty recently ratified largely
through his efforts. If he had been de-
feated it would have meant a serious set
back TO the work already accomplished
by the State Department. Andrade has
long been a conspicuous figure in the ma.
tional life of his republic. He is SO years
old, and Is the son Of Gen. Jose Escolas-
tico Andrade, one of NeneZuela's famous
figures. He lived in America for some
time and is closely in touch with Ameri-
can ideas. His brother is the Venezuelan
minister in this country and has proved
himself very astute diplomatist. Gen.
Andrade himself is an old friend and ally

enty years of his long life he had been a
leader in temperance work His first
movement in this direction was when he
induced the town authorities of Portland,
Me-, where he was born, to abstain from
ringing the old town bell at IL and 4
o'clock for the citizens to take drink. In
1851 the Maine Legislature, after years
of Dow's bombardment, passed the fam
Gus prohibition law.
At 90 years of age he raised the Thir-
teenth Maine and led it to the front, was
shot four times and landed in Libby pris-
on. AT an age when most men are dead
he lectured all over the earth on temper
ance. Sixty-seven years ago he was mar
ried and in 1880 he was the candidate for

FIERCE FLAMES IN DETROIT.

Are in Utter Ruins.
The center Of Detroit was the scene at
l o'clock Wednesday morning of a con-
migration which totally destroyed three
large buildings and contents, damaged
several others and threatened the destruc-
tion Of Mt least an entire block of the most
valuable property in the city.
The blaze originated on the stage of the
Detroit opera house. simultaneously with
the breaking out OF the fire there were
several loud explosions, presumably the
bursting of the stage lighting apparatus.
The flames quickly enveloped the rear of
the theater and made furnace Of the in-
terror. The opera house, with all its con-
tents. was destroyed in short order The
rear of the ten-story building occupied by
the III. Leonard Furniture Company
caught fire and nothing of the structure
or contents remains but the steel frame.
The four-story building Of the Michel Ia
BILE Supply Company east OF the theater
was gutted and partially destroyed, and
several ether buildings were slightly dam
aged. The losses, il is believed, will reach
the vicinity OF $250,00O. A block of tene-
ment houses at the foot of Hastings street
caught fire from sparks from the opera
house fire and were destroyed.
