were two races in the city-the wet race
and The coupling race. The wet race was
won by the Dirigos in as lis seconds.
The Senators We're second, time so

 Delegate Palma.

New York. Oct. 27.-Tomas Estrada Palma, the Cuban delegate to the United States, when asked his opinion of the Cuban reforms proposed by the Spanish ministry, said:
 AS he representative of the Cuban provisional government, am in a posi- tion to state most emphatically that the Cubans in arms will enter into no con- promise wi h Spain. Cubans are fight ing for absolute independence, and they will entertain no peace proposals from the Spanish government tased on ary- thing but absolute independence. Tine Cuban patriots are firmly de ermined to carry on the struggle until thsir purpose is accomplisher. They will listen to no proposition acknowledging Spain's sov- ereignty over Cuba I am speaking for men who arc f;i.ly resolved to give up 'neir lives, if need be, for their coun- try's freedom I am voieing the sspira- tionts of the Cuban people. Cubans will never accept autonomy, no matter how ample. as a solution of their struggle for Independence. The Cuban problem must be SC tied this time once for all"
 A mass meeting of Cubans will be held in New York soon to voice opposition to the Spanish proposals, and declare for iHdeDendence

 Early yeeterday- ino:nlrg these officers made a search of thse premises and found the goods buried beneath tho found in the lot, with the inscription At Rest" upon it.
 It is alleged that the goods have been buril1 since the gang was arrested, by accomphces.
 shotgun has also been recovered, which was in the possession. of white man who had bought it in go5d faith It was finally traced back to VIII Jor- dan, one of the gang who admits nav ing taken 1t from car on the Louisville and Nashville tracks near the ire ght house.
 Tt was laarned yesterday that Harri- son Howard, another negro, had been seen with a 32-oalibre Winchester rifle. He was arrested and placed in jail, and alt first said that the gun belonged to Will Jordan, but that he had returned 1t to Jordsn's wifa.
