Dissension Among Autono,nists.

Havana dispatch: The failure of
the autonomist policy of the new
Spanish abinet seems more and more
apparent every day. Discussions are
known to exist among the autonomist
leaders, and the conservatives have
pronounced themselves strongly OPP
posed to the granting of an autou-
omist form OF government to Cuba
and have, so to say. washed their
hands of the consequences which may
follow if the government at Madrid
persists in carrying out the plans of
Premier Sagasta. The conservatives
held Il meeting in Havana, lasting four
hours, at which several speeches were
made in opposition to the policy of
autonomy for Cuba, and it was unan-
imously agreed that the conservative
party should energetically oppose
autonomy and the policy of the Sagasta
cabinet in this direction.

Edmund Spenser, which was further stimu'
lated by the study of Italian poetry. The
Faery Queene the only great poem since the

there were also some good specimens OF

their waters spread over nearly the entire

The European War.

The Graeco-Turkish war has as yet
not been much of reality SO far as
fighting may be considered and from a
strategic standpoint, but little more 3d.
The Greeks have retreated, once a
route and panic, from strong positions
and there is something mysterious and
vet to be accounted for. Only upon
one Of three propositions may be based
q reasonably satisfactory accounting for
what has happened: the Greeks are
towards, the officers are wholly incom'
pstent or there has been treachery
somewhere. We are very certain that
the second one is not to be disputed,
the truth of the first one is not wholly
beyond dispute while there are some
reasons why the third may be strongly
suspected. Of one thing we may rest
assured, the possible strength of Greece
has not been developed; the future may
render it plain why it has not been,
but today it is past understanding.

While it is known that President
Mckinley favors the annexation of
Hawaii and believes that it will be &C
complished during his administration,
there is no probability that any steps
towards annexation will be publicly
taken by the administration until after
the tariff bill gets through Congress,
unless it becomes necessary to hurry up
annexation in order to torestall any
efforts that Japan may feel disposed to
make for the purpose of bulldozine

The old assessment was $64,347,l60,

probable that the levy will not exceed

WASHINGTON LETTER.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, MAY 3RD, 1897.

WASHINGTON, MAY BIRD, 1897.
Tariff history is repeating itself.
The Senate made the McKinly tariff,
by attaching about 300 amendments to
the original bill; the Senate made the
Wilson tariff, by attaching a few less
amendments than it had put upon the
Mckinley bill, and if the Dingley bill
becomes law anything like the shape
in which the republican members of the
Finance Committee have submitted it
to the full committee, the Senate will
have another tariff bill to its credit,
notwithstanding the Constitutional pro
vision that all revenue bills shall origi
nate in the House. In the number OF
amendments added, the Dingley bill
breaks all records, the number exceed
ing one thousand. No date has yet
been agreed upon to report the bill to
the Senate, but unless something not
now expected shall occur to prevent, it
will be reported inside Of ten days. 1t
now looks as though the hottest fight
over the tariff would be between the
republicans, instead Of between repub'
licans and democrats.
