firmly against my proposition except
independence were formerly leading
autonomists, who in view of the recent
developments say that even were they

at it as an evidence not of Spain's good

prosecute hopeless war.
Colonel Canaleia was formerly

s., That Of Hiss ssCompatriots.
NEW YORK. Nov. 5.-The Herald
prints the following letter from Max.
imo Gomez OF the Cuban army of liber-
alton dated at his camp in Sancti
Spiritus:
THE enemies of Cuba have circu-
lated in the United States the rumor
that 1 am disposed to accept autonomy
as basis of q settlement or solution of
the present war. The constitution of
Cuba absolutely establishes in its
article II, that peace is to be negotiated
upon the basis of absolute independence
of Cuba. 1t Is to obtain independence
that we have been fighting for two
years and will continue to fight until
victory is ours we will fight for abso-
lutte freedom, as we stated in the
manifesto issued at Monte Cristo,
as was also later set down in
our constitution, and we are daily
confirming it by the shedding of
blood in the battlefield"
Salvador Cisneros, formerly presi-
dent of the republic of Cuba, writes to
the Herald:
Independence or death has been
our motto. We would rather see our
beloved country disappear amid heap
of ashes than accept any concessions
No natter how aJnDla unless they
carry with them the absolute indepen-
dence of CIba."

WAsHINGToN. Nov. 6.-The first
regular session of the 55th congress,
which isto meet on the 7th of Decem-
beE1 Promises to be more productive of
Important legislation than any session
(! of recent years.
Foreign affairs will demand and re-
| ceive considerable attention. There
is Hawaii to be annexed or placed in
some equally positive way under the
protection of the American flag. The
extension of belligerent rights to the
Cuban revolutionists is freely pre-
dicted as one of the early acts of the
session. Then the Nicaraguan canal
question will come up again when Ad-
miral Walker and his colleagues, who
have been sent down to examine the
proposed route, return and make their
report; and the treaty of arbitration
with Great Britain is expected to be
revived in some shape by its advocates.
But these foreign matters, Interest,"
ing as they are, will occupy but little
time of the congress compared with
THE important questions of internal
ECONOMY with which it will have to
desfl. Take the currency question, for
example. Secretary Gage has been
harq at work all summer and expects
to haYe.a a scheme for currency reform
ready TO submit when congress con-
venes. This will have the backing of
the admiRistration; but there will be
dozens of :, other schemes suggested.
representing all shades of financial be-
lief, and it Will be long time before
a bill satisfactory to even the majority
can become atlaw. Indeed, it is doubt
full whether any definite conclusion
can be reached .at this session on this
question.
Much more likely to become law is
one of several pehding propositions for
the establishments of postal savings
banks. A plan will also be pressed
with some vigor t., place the telegraph
lines under the CONTROL of the postoffice
but it is hot believed that
the majority in eithgr the house or
senate if yet ready 10 accept this radi.
cal departure.

fering from those ,pi the law of 1870, is

CONSERVATION In Canada.

OTTAWA, Nov. 5.-Oficials in the
fisheries department here are discon-
certed over the action of President
Thompson, the great English seal ex-
pert. Fears are entertained that in
connection with the recent conference
he may have committed Great Britain
to a line of policy quite antagonistic
to Canada's interests. One minister
expresses fears that the English ex-
pert has fallen victim to the wiles of
the American politicians.

This news was received by Chairman
Nash, of the republican committee,
with satisfaction, though it was not
different from what he had expected.
The decision had significance which
could not be expressed inasmuch as it
put an end to the talk of other con.
tests on the same ground. Should no
further changes be made, the republi-
cans will have five majority on joint
ballot, as claimed by Chairman Nash.
