HAVANA, Oct. 4. 1Ss7.-It is announced
from Spanish headquarters that General
Molina, with a detachment of Govern
ment troops, moved on September 30 on
an insurgent force under Arrange. SAM
gully, Aranguion and Elises, at ARGOS de
Diego, and Samarones, on the heights
about Madruza this province. The Span
ish General, it is added, divided his forces
and went through different mountain de-
MES toward the insurgent camp. At 10
A. M. on october firing was commenced
al along the line, and the official report
adds the insurgents were compelled to
seek refuge in night. AT 2 o. clock in the
afternoon the Spaniards had captured all
the insurgents positions driving the enc
my to seek refuge in caves or jump over
nigh cliffs. The lnsurgenr infantry, which
was commanded by Arrange and Sangullly,
left over one hundred men killed at the
foot of the precipices. The Spaniards,

LONDON, Oct. f. 1897-A special de-
spatch from Madrid. published here this
afternoon, gives the substance of an in
terview between a newspaper correSpon-
dent and an unnamed member of the new
Spanish Cabinet, during which the latter
is quoted as saying Premier Sagasfa VIII
carry out the Cuban reforms proposed by
Marshal Martinez de Campos ten yeraS
ago, including granting autonomy TO
Cuba on condition Cuba takes over the
Cuban debt including the war debt, and
accepts Spain'S customs tariff.
Continuing, the new Cabinet Minister is
said to have remarked that Premier Sa-
gasta will not consent to a customs union
between the United States and Cuba, and
he is said to have added that if the former
is not satisfied Spain is prepared to fight,
as the Spanish navy is regarded as equal
in strength with the navy OF the United
States. Further, if necessary, Spain, ac-
cording to the Cabinet Minister inter-
viewed, will have recourse to privateering.
In conclusion, the new Minister is all
legged to have said it is improbable Spain
will consent to recognize the msurgen[
debt; but Premier Sagasta will not pre-
vent the new Cuban Government from
dealing with it,

Although there is continued retieencs
at the State Department concerning SPAN

the Government has been informed thac
Spain will offer autonomy to Cuba sIInliar
to that enjoyed by Canada and in admin

seems TO be that If a full measure of real
autonomy is offered it should be accented
gasta Cabinet is welcomed by the Admin
istration which several weeks ago was
apprehensive of a possible early disturb-s

The statements attributed to the new
premier that he would favor the largest
measure of autonomy, has directed atten-
ton to the past efforts toward autonomy.
Those offered by the Conservative Cabinet
and made known to the United States
through the Spanish Minister. Dupuy de

which was to have an advisory power in

plan has taken the form of a lengthy de-

Another Crisis Is at Hand
Daily Journal, Friday.

Daily Journal, Friday.
The city council last night, after
spending several hours in discussing
the decree submitted by Attorney
Eugene F. Ware, formulated and
agreed upon proposition which the
city should present to the company as
basis for the settlement Of the ex.
listing difficulties and then went into
executive session, where they re.
NAMED for nearly an hour.
Before the executive session was
called the council took a vote uuou
the proposition which they had
seeded to Submitto the company and
every member Of the council voted to
accept that proposition as an ultima.
tum from the city and agreed to sand
byit.
The document which the council
agreed upon Is in the form Of decree
and contract, That part relating
TO a settlement with the company fol
hydrant rentals for 1895 and 1895 and
agreeing to pay $500 per year for
three years from January /, 1897, for
good aud efficient water service, was
submitted in the form of a decree oil
the United States circuit court.
The rest Of the agreement was in
the form OF contract and it differed
materially from the proposition sub.
nitted by the waterworks company.
The clause allowing the company t.
terminate the contract in the event
the Santa Fe shops are removed from
the city, was stricken out entirely
The clause allowing the company the
privilege OF withdrawing from the
agreement in the event an accident in.
volVing the expenditure of a sum OF
money equal to $1,000 was allowed &c
remain in the contract. The clause
granting the company the right and
privilege to attach meters to private

easing the right Of the city under

hat if the company should fail to
Iuifll its part VI the contract, the
city should have the right TO take
temporary charge Of the plant and
operate the same, but it Was 50 plain y
evident that Mr.. Ware would not for
a mument think OF agreeing to a
proposition of that kind, that the
idea was abandoned.
After the council had agreed TO
stand by that proposition as an ulti-

submit to no further concessions To
the water company, Mr.. Graf an.
nounced that he would like to have
the council 60 into executive session.
He said that he desired to discuss
some matters Of vital Importance to
the city. An executive session was
thereupOn ordered. What transpired
there is known only to the members
of the council. Another crisis has
been reached. The water company
will now have to accept the PROPOSE
tion Of the council or shut down their
plant. What the city will do 10 that
event is problem yet 10 be solved,
unless the council agreed on a course

Political Party Sells Out.

Republican papers have laid great
stress on The charge that PopullSt
representatives were bribed to vote
against a maximum freight law last
winter. Since the Republicans all
voted the same way il was natural to
conclude that they were brlbed also
Until recently the inference has been
unsupported by proof but now we
have good authority for saying that
the 8hOle Republican party was suld
to the railroads. The Hiawatha Demo-
Crat, edited by Grant W. Harrington,
late clerk of the senate committee
on railroads, says:
"When the Republican board Of rail.
way assessors under the Morrill, admin.
istratiOn came to fix the assessment
In 1895, they raised the assessed
valuation of the Missouri Pacific road
one million dollars. In 1897, when a
POpulist board Came to consider the
assessment the Missouri Pacific
officials asked for reduction OF the
roads assessment. Ex-Chief Justice
Albert Ii. Horton appeared for the
road and made the argument. In the
course of his remarks he made the
remarkable statement that 10 1894,
the Republican state central COM
mittees made a campaign assessment
Of ten thousand dollars each on the
Missouri Pacific, the Rock Island, the
Santa Fe and the Union Pacific roads.
1.-THE Missouri Pacific refused to puJ
up and so inst as quick as the Opp0r.
tunity presented itself its valuation
was raised one million dollars as a
punishment for the refusal so to do.
"ThiS statement was made by Judge
Horton, not in a private conversation,
but IN public argument. There
were present at the time Lieutenant
Governor Harvey, Secretary of State
Bush, Auditor of State Morris, and
State Treasurer Hefflebower.
"ThiS story serves to explain the
attitude of the Republicans in the
last legislature. For the thirty
thousand dollars the three roads in
1894, together with the additional
assessments put up in 1896, the roads
were promised that there should be
no hostile legislation. Not Republi.
can member Of either the senate or
the house had courage enough to
diSObey the orders OF the machine.
They had been sold and delivered,
bound hand and foot to the railroad
lobby"
By this deal every Republican in
Kansas was sold and delivered to the
railroads. The merchant who paws
eXt0rtiOnate freights, the farmer who
has portion Of his wheat and cattle
and pork taken from him to paw
freight on the balance and who paws
larger prices for his supplies because
of the added freight, has the Republi.
can party Of Kansas TO thank for it.
