 It Is not believed that the liberals are prepared to go to the length of promis- ing freedom to Cuba. but frcm the ex- pressions of the leaders of the party 1t is hoped that they are willing to grant so liberal measure of home rule and au- tonomy to the island that little of span- ish sovereignty will remain save as in the way of prevential duty and perhaps the power Of appointing some official cor responding to the governar. general of Canada, named by the British crown. An incident to the selection of liberal cabinet. it is expected, woull be the restoration Of Martinez campos to a position where he would be in position to carry out the program of the reform- ed government in its Cuban policy.

RECALL IMPOSSIBLE.


ATHENS. Greece, March Sat noon
to-day, nothing more than a summary
Of the reply OF Greece to the ultimat-
ium of the powers, is obtainable, but
the following is correct outline ofthe
letter as delivered 10 foreign represen-
tatives to-day: The note says that
Greece, in conforming to the wishes OF
the powers, recommended that the
Crerans accept certain reforms, but the
mosIems rendered these reforms i'm
possible and Greece was therefore
obliged to intervene to protect her
sister nation.
Autonomous administration for the
island, the note says, does not con.
stitute solution OF The difficulty ani
Cretans rejectit. The Greece note says
in conclusion, they are willing to ac-
cept the decision Of the Cretans as |.
whether they desire autonomy or ar-
nexation.
The recall OF the Greek Il .et and
troops would be sign for further ex
cesses in the island, in face Of which
the Greeks could not remain passive;
therefore, the recall Of the feet and
troops is impossible.

SPRING MEETING.
The Western Base BaIl League Opened In De-
troit, To-Day.

DETROIT. Michigan. March g.
The spring meeting Of the western
base ball league opened here, to-day,
all of the magnates being on hand. The
most important business to be discuss
ed is the arrangement OF schedule
for the coming season, which is in the
hands OF committee composed OF
President Johnson, Salspaugh, Man
ming and Won Verbeck.
1t is said that, Notwithstanding the
agreement among the league magnates
last fall, to retrench to the utmost limit
this season, the pay-rolls OF most OF the
clubs are larger than ever before; the
only pronounced exception being IN
the case OF Indianapolis. Milwaukee
and Kansas City in particular, It 10
said, have gone far beyond the old
salary limit, and SO has Grand Repidz,.

is due to the fact that he 10 manager as
we'll as player. The st. Paul team Is
also away up In the salary list. The
fact is that, notwithstanding The agree :
ment among the managers, every one
of them is determined to have q winner
and to pay high figures. The word 10
out that there viii be break in the
national league next season and four Of
the western league cities are candidates
for positions in the major organization.
Attendance will cut big figure with
the magnates in choosing successor
for the city which is dropped, and each
ofthe four clubs is particularly snxious
to make as good showing as possible
this season.

A MODEST olvER.
He Gives iiaIf-MnIIon to q Hospital and Says
Nothing.

LONDON, England, March 8.--The
University college hospital is the benef-
icMryof the most princcly individual
gift thus far announced as rscogni-
ton of the queens jubilee year. The
gift takes the form Of cash donation
of $500, GOO, which is to be expended
in doubling the present capacity Of the
hospital, and which institution, when
the extension has been completed, will
cover an entire block bounding four
streets.
Apart from its munifceuce, the most
extraordinary feature Of the gift is that
it is anonymous. Three persons only
are acquainted with the identity OF the
donor. These are Governor Sande.
man.. Of the Bank OF England. ir which
Institution the entire amount Of the
gift has been deposited; the president
of the board Of trustees of the hospital,
and Mr. Alfred Waterhouse, Of the
royal academy, an eminent architect
who has been designated by the donor
to prepare the plans for the hospital
extension. The three gentlemen
named have, it is said, pledged them.
selves not to reveal the name Of the
donor during bis lifetime.
