Not Smooth Sailing for Autonomy.

The autonomy. which Spain has
offered Cuba with so much show of
concession, is not making the head
way those who have made so much ado
about it may wish. The insurgent gen.
erals have proclaimed death for the in
dividual caught in the endeavor to
spread the agitation for autonomy in
the Cuban ranks. In this country,
where the depths to which Spanish
duplicity has been known to descend
may not be fully appreciated. there
nevertheless is sufficient acquaintance
with it to warrant the general skepti
cism with which the Spanish pro-
testations are received.
The Spanish minister is aware of the
evident distrust in which all Spanish
promises are regarded in this country.
and he makes haste to endeaVor to
change the popular impression in so
