Proceedings to BE Isegun by the Govern

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-It is authen-

justice contemplates action to be taken
at an early date looking to the fore
closure by the government of the Union
Pacific, with the probability also of
similar proceedings against the Central
and Kansas Pacific. Action is consid-
cred imperative to protect the govern
ment's interest in those holdings, and
has been deferred pending action by con-
gress. A very large portion of the first
mortgage bonds, as well as the second
mortgage, will mature with the begin
ming Of 1897. The holders of the first
mortgage bonds would naturally have
priority over the government, but it is
said that the attorney general has con-

NEW YORK, Dec. ga Madrid dis

IDENTIFY inspired editorial in The Epoca
foreshadowing the possibility Of an un-
derstanding between the Spanish gov
ernment and President Cleveland has
caused profound sensation in Spain.
The Epoca, the organ of the Con-
servative party, now i'll power, says
"American intervention in Cuba is per-
fectly logical on the grounds of mate
rial interests and national sentiment. +"
Strenuous efforts are being made by
the Spanish and other European gov-
ernments to prevail upon President
Cleveland to be content if Spain as
sents tacitly only to his interference
and satisfies American opinion for the
time being by the voluntary and
prompt instituting in Cuba and Porto
Rico of the reforms voted by the cortes.
This is on the understanding, however,
that Premier Canovas will ask the cor
tes this year to authorize complete CO.

colonial tariffs to prepare the way for a

fote Hold a Conference.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 80 - Secretary
Olney held long conference with Sir
Julian Pauncefote. the British ambas.
sador, relative to the status of the Ven
ezuelan settlement and the general
treaty of arbitration between the
United States and Great Britain. Mr..
Olney's call followed the arrival Of
Minister Andrade of Venezuela and
Mr.. James J. Storrow, counsel in the
Venezuelan case. The results of the
conference were guarded with the
usual secrecy which prevails at meet
ings between the secretary and the am.
bassador, but there is good reason to
believe it was the occasion for going
over several new phases of the Vene-
zuelan situation which have developed
with the return Of the officials from
Caracas. The officials themselves
Are Extremely Reticent
and will say only in general terms that
the prospect Of an acceptance Of the
settlement by Venezuela is good. 1t is
understood, however, that there are
important limitations to this accept
ance, which appear to make the case
less hopeful of an immediate and salts
factory conclusion than has been ex-
pected. The plan of an extra session
of the Venezuelan congress has been
practically abandoned.
On the question Of general arbitra-
tion between the United States and
Great Britain, Mr.. Olney and Sir
Julian have made the final draft of the
treaty and it is in the hands of Lord
Salisbury awaiting his approval. No
doubt exists Of its approval and it is
expected to arrive daily.

SPAIN WILL ACCEPT
SAID TO HAVE CONCLUDED TO &C.
CEPT UNITED STATES MEDIATION.

Agreement Complete and Will Be Sent
Understood. However. That Action Is
Wholly Voluntary.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The Post
says: 1t has been learned from an au.
thoritative source that Secretary Olney
and Senior Dupuy de Lone, the Span
ish minister, have practically ter
minated the negotiations on the Cuban
question, which are to be submitted to
congress when it convenes on Jan. 8.
The terms Of the agreement are based
on the recent official communication
from Premier Canovas, addressed to
the secretary of state. The premier
states clearly the terms which Spain
will accord to the insurgents and prac-
tically asks the United States to pro-
pose these conditions to her rebellious
subjects. In return for our good offices
Spain assures this government that she
sincerely deplores the great commercial
loss which we have sustained on ac-
count of the Cuban disturbance. She
assures us that she is even now
Considering "a Reciprocity Treaty
which will deal mainly with Cuban
products and which will be framed in
such advantageous terms toward this
government that our losses both in
commerce and in the destruction Of
American property in Cuba will be
most generously compensated.
Premier Canovas says that Spain
cannot, of course, as a self-respecting
and respected nation, stand before the
world as having been coerced into
measures by the United States. She
has freely granted all that she now of.
fers, and that in the face of rebellion.
But she accepts the good Offices Of the
United States to act as mediator and to
guarantee to the insurgents amnesty
and the enforcement of the new reform
law which she is about to proclaim in
Cuba.
What Spain Offers.
The form OF government offered is,
the Spanish statesman declares, the
limit of independence which can be
granted to province by any nation
without absolutely severing the bonds
of union with the mother country.
Autonomy as enjoyed by the Canadians
can never be granted i'll Cuba.
What Spain is willing to grant the
insurgents if they lay down their arms
and what she asks the United States to
guarantee is an act which provides for
council of administration which shall
control all matters pertaining to the
commerce of the Indies and all esti-
mates upon the general taxation and
expenditures of the island as well as it's
general home government
