instead of the Abarzuza scheme. It would doubt
less have been hailed by the mass OF the Cuban
neople with hearty satisfaction.
But many things have happened In these last
three years. The rigors Of the Ten Years war
have been renewed The Spanish Government
has nut itself on record as being itself irrecon-
ciIable. Naturally the Cubans have answered
in the same spirit. When Spain has said' NO
.erms but unconditional submission" they nave
renlIcd, None but absolute independence. Now
Marshal Blanco has stopped the crueltles OF
Weyler. and Sanor Sagasta has repudlated the
lrreconcabe policy OF his predecessor But
odium is incurred more readily than 1t IS re-
moved It is Sehor Sagastas misfortune that
he has to work not only against the ambitions
of Cuba. but also against the obnoxious record
Of Spain herself. 1t Is much easier for him to
reverse Spanish policy than It Will be to per-
suade the Cubans to reverse their desperate
resolution. Yet for Cuba's sake and for SPANS
there is a widespread hope that he may achieve
the task.

THE KAISER'S SPEECH.

The snpech from the throne made by the Ger
man Emperor yesterday at the opening OF the
Re,chstsp Is commended to the favorable ut
tention OF Americans by the concurrent news
that the German Government will send no war
shin TO Hayti and that the German Foreign
Minister and the American Ambassador have
come TO a satisfactory understanding upon the
Ineders case This Is most agreeable news,
giving assurance of continued friendly relations
between Empire and Republic and rebuking
effectively the insane "red-seers" who only yes
terday we're shrllly shreking that by manifest
ing an interest In the German-Haytian dispute
this country had brought itself face TO face with
war. The German Government recognizes the
right of the United States to manifest such an
interest. and does 50 in the eminently direct and
practical way Of giving to the United States
Ambassador an explanation Of Its conduct
The speech itself Is worthy Of this gratifying
news which accompanies 1t. Critics Of the Ger
man Emperor have called him William the Talk
atiye. He has been freer with public utterances
than have most sovereigps Of his time Now and
hen he has said things to which exception may
we'll be taken. But he has also on many occa-
s,ons spolen with admirable lucidity and direct
ness and with that convincing strength which
t,on of language Such was his speech Of yes
terday. There is no doubt that he composed 1t
"a we'll as delivered It. And there seems to
have been not a rash nor an Incorporate word
IN It, nor any unworthy Of the ruler or one OF
the most potent empires In the world True,
throne speeches are usually perfunctory. But
ut time Ike this there could not help being
some sparks in the deliverance OF sovereign
who was an irresponsible frebrand, such as his
enemies have pictured the Kaiser. There are
none in this, mol is there any word that might
better have remained unspoken.
That naval expansion would he most dwell
upon was long ago forecast. The Emperor
realizes that he cannot hope 10 make his army
materially larger more efficient than IL Is and
he has the satisfaction Of knowing that II II Is
not superior to any 1t is not inferior to any
other in the world But his navy Is distinctly
inferior In size and strength to several others
and that is a condition Of affairs he cannot en-
dure. For safety in possible war, and for thu
promotion Of actual commerce and colonial IN
terests he wants the navy increased common
surately with the greatness Of the nation. Tit
bill which he proposes to introduce will call To-
an appropriation of $1250OOO0 above the ordi
nary naval budget, to be spent on new construc
ton next year. and from S15000O00 to $4,000,
600 each ycsr thereafter until 1905. That IL
large demand, but 1t Is not so large as the up
propr!atons made 10y other nations. and it,i
promised that 1t will cause no increase Of taxa
ton. The seizure Of Kiau-Chou Will doubles
emphasize the need Of a stronger navy, and 1t !
not improbable that the bill will be enacted.
The bin revising the code Of military prc
cedure will also be pressed. 1t proposes to abo

MORE LIGHT ON AUTONOMY,

The complete text Of the Cuban autonomy
scheme Is not yet made public In this country.
The Spanish Minister has, however, received
pretty full advices concerning It, and Is thus able
to set forth its provisions much more sat!sfacto-
rily than has hitherto been done. Ills exposi
tons present the scheme In a far more favorable
light than 1t ut first appeared In. and amply
Justify the suggestion already made that the
Cubans will do we'll to consider the Spanish
offer carefully as possible basis Of settlement
on terms advantageous to both parties. The
scheme Is not perfect. No scheme Of govern
ment is But IL is a vast deal better than any
other Spain has ever offered, differing from its
predecessors not only In degree but In kind.
Indeed, rs expounded by the Spanish Minister.
Il seems to compare not unfavOrably with that
granted BY Great Britain to Canada thirty years
ago. It Is assurcdly much more generous to
Cuba than the Cubans themselves asked few
years ago The one important point not yet
mnde clenr is that Of the debt. 1t Is not to be
supposed that Cuba would assume the whole
or the major part Of the Indebtedness Incurred
nv Spain in keeping the island in subsection.
n Spain will be as Just on that score as she
offers to be on Others a settlement ought to be
reached.
Senior de LONE recognizes the fact that there
are Irreconc!lable men on both sides. Those In
Spain object to any concessions to Cuba. Those

Element short OF absolute independence. He
! truly says that such men are out OF court and
are not to be considered In the present negotia
! t,ons. Nevertheless, II must he remembered
that their existence In Cuba Is chiefly due to the
faults Of Spain Thirty years ago there were
very few Of them. At the outbreak OF the Ter
Years War this offer would have been accepted
with scarcely a dissenting voice. But the bar
barlties of that war, and the failure OF thu
Treaty Of Zanjon embittered the Cubans and
made thousands Of irreconcilables. Yet dowr
