Julian Demans a Share OF the Money
That Will Accrue From Pictures.
Carson. New, March 16.-Dan Stuart
is up against another snag in the per-
son of Martin Julian, who has de-
manded one-third of the receipts that
may come to Stuart from exhibiting
the photographs of the fight. At the
time Of the signing Of the articles OF
agreement Julian asked for a share OF
the money that would accrue from
this, and he was told by Stuart that
if any bids were made for the right to
take the pictures of the fight, Julian
would be given a chance to be in on
the returns. No bids have been made,
however, as Stuart has been intending
to take the photographs with ma.
chine which belongs to him for the
most part Julian told Stuart he.
wanted the receipts from the exhibit
ton Of photographs to be divided into
three equal portions, one to FitZsim-
mons and Julian and the remaining
third to Corbett. Julian said that il
his demand was not granted he would
refuse to fight before the camera, al
though he was willing to allow Fitz-
simmons to fight for the purse if the
camera is taken from the arena. The
pictures are considered by Stuart his,
one chance of getting back some Of the
money he has advanced on the fight
ers in the last three years, and he is
much worried over the demand made
by Julian.
Both Of the pugilists have done the
last work they will do before the fight,
with the exception of a little road work
for the purpose of keeping their wind
in good condition. Both of them are
in the finest kind of shape.

CUBAN AUTONOMY.
How the Island Is to be Governed
Under the New Reforms,

MADRID, Nov. 11.-Owing to the in
disposition of Senor Moret, Minister
for the Colonies, the meeting of the
Cabinet, which had been called for the
discussion of Cuban autonomy this
evening, was postponed.
The Chamber is to be empowered to
vote the budget expenditure, make
laws controlling public service and es-
tablish the customs duties and decide
the relative responsibility of the exec
utive officers.
The mother land will have exclusive
control of international affairs, militia
ry and naval matters, and of the or
ganiZation of the tribunals.
Spain also retains the direction of the
political and civil laws of a national
character, and retains control of the
expenditures Of the same character.
The executive power viii be vested in
Governor General, with deputies ap-
pointed by himself Both the Govern
or-General and his deputies will be
responsible to the Cuban Chamber
The principal basis of the scheme
TO be decided when the Cabinet meets
are the enjoyment of all the rights ac-
corded by the Spanish Constitution
without any curtailment whatever; the
identity of the political and civil
rights for Spanish and Cubans without
distinction of race or color, and the
creation Of a Cuban Chamber, all the
members Of which are to be elected
by popular vote. A Cuban Senate is
10 be created later on.
