MERELY A SPANISH RUSE.
Developments in Cuba Tend to Show More
 Treacherous Work.

Havana, Nov. 6.-via Key West, Fla Recent developments tend to confirm previous announcements relating to the establishment of autonomy in Cuba. The government, through Ma shai Blan- co, desires to make use of ths supposed influence of the autcaom.sts with the Cubans by giving to autonomists official position, but no formal overtures Of au- tonomy have been made.
 Some of the morning papers, like Fl Commercio assert that the Sagasta gov ernment will not dare to iraugurate au- tonomy in Cuba, adding that Marshal Blanco has made no promise whatever in this direction, and will establish polit- iclal reforms and nothing mors.

THE COMPETITOR PRISONERS
Will Be Tried by CourtmartiaI at Havana
 To-Morrow.

Washington, Nov. GA telegram came to the state department today from United States Acting Consul-General Springer, at Havana, as follows:
 'sTrial by court martial of Compet htor prisoners will be held Monday next Will attend''
 There are five of these prisoners, namely: Alfred Laborde, William Glide, Ona Melton, Charles Barnett and Will Ham Leavitt They wsre arrested on the Competitor April 25, 1S96 on a charge of landing arms for the insurgents, and have been held in close confinement ever since. May 8. 1896, they wers tried by court-martial and sentenced to death. Only the most energetic action by the United States government prevented ths immediate execution of this sentence and after negotTa tions direct with Mad rid, Weyler having proved unrelenting, an order was secured for new trial, the Madrid judicial reviewing authorities having found the proceedings informal.
 The WIS now coming that they are to be tried by court martial again is not reassuring, as it amounts to an in- s1stence by the Spanish upon their con- tention that, If carried out, will, it Is expected, lead to the re-imposition of the death psnalty, though clemency may be extended by Gen. Blanco.
