The 0neen Regent Signs the Decree Put
ting the Reforms in Effect-General
Weyler Cables News of Complete Pacif.
cation of Western Part of the Island.

Madrid, April 29.-The queen regent,
at a cabinet meeting today, signed a
decree providing for the application of
the agreed upon reforms for the island
of Cuba. Her majesty's action was
due to the receipt of a cable message
from Captain General Weyler %announc-
ing that the western part of the island
is completely pacified.
Washington, April 29-The announce
ment from Madrid that the queen re-
gent has signed a decree applying the
reform laws to Cuba is considered by
officials here as a realization of the
plans under negotiation for many
months to give Cuba an autonomous
form of government, or home rule. The
home rule plan about to be applied
was made public in detail by Minister
Dupuy de LONE on February 9Th last.
A council of administration is created
for the government Of the affairs Of the
island. This council will be in the ! =
ture of a parliament made up Of tn: ~
one members, a majority Of them Icing
elected by the Cubans and a lesser
number appointed by the throne. The
council Of administration is given prac-
tically supreme control of the island,
subject to certain supervisory authOri-
ty by the home government. One of
the most important features of the
plan is that allowing Cuba to revise
her tariff schedules.
The reform law was passed March
Is, 1895, but never applied to Cuba,
owing to the uprising. On last new
years day is was promulgated by the
queen regent and gaZetted in Havana
as a concession Of the new year. It's
actual application was still withheld,
however, until General Weyler could
announce that the island was pacified.
On the kings fete day the plan was
amplified. The decree signed by the
queen regent today appears to be the
last step toward actually applying the
law to Cuba.

over the refusal OF the Hawaiian gov

w%arships to Honolulu to enforce what
the japanese immigrants consider their

to stop departure Of immigrants for the
island at once.
Grave complications have arisen, &C
cording to japanese officiel newspa-
pers, over the action Of the United
States government in sending the Phil
adelphia to Honolulu. japanese Off
cial organs claim that the cruiser has
been sent as a menace TO the Japanese
government and is significant in that
il fOretells annexation Of the Stands

Of war talk. The Chowe states that q
telegram has been received by the jap

England has sent an intimation 10 the
United States government that she ID
jects 10 the intended annexation by the

Raleigh, April pa rumor gained
currency this afternoon that Governor
Russell was about to call an extra ses-
sion of the legislature. Your CORE
spondent called at the executive Office
and asked the governor if he would
take this step. His only reply was:
Il have nothing to say this afternoon"
J. c. L. Harris, one Of the governors
advisors, said he had urged a special
session to consider the matter Of in
creasing the tax levy, after the adverse
decision of the supreme court.
Marshall Mott came here to urge the
governor to take this step.
Secretary of State Thompson said the
matter had not been brought before the
council of state.
Governor Russell spoke to a gentle
man here about the matter saying: 1T
might be a good thing to turn the
state over to Pierpont Morgan, and we
might find somebody willing to take
the ~receivership, provided Morgan
would appoint him. Receiverships are
valuable. For instance, the Cape Fear
and Yadkin Valley railway, a bank
rupt concern. pays a Baltimore man
$4,000 annually for riding here two or
three times a year in a palace car. A
receivership for the state would be
more valuable than this"
