Reforms for Both Islands.

Reforms OF a similar character, 1T is
maintained, were proposed for both islands
nearly two years ago, but their promuiga-
ton was delayed on account of the insur-
rection which almost immediately FOL
lowed, and which, the Spanish ministry
assert. was begun in order that they might
not be applied.
Speaking OF the action Of the Spanish min
istry, Mr.. Dupuy de LONE said: The re-
form law was voted by the CorteS in Feb
ruary, s95. 1t was accepted then unani-
mously by the Autonomist party. Among
voters were such conspicuous AutOno-hiSts
as Muntore. Giberga, Labra. Ferry, Fer
nando Gonzales, all Cubans- The leaders
of the AutonomiSt party OF Porto Rico
have been long time in Madrid this win
ter, and the royal decree meets entirely
with their approval.
