Now York. January A special to the
world from Madrid says: The autonomist
allegation from Porto Rico. which came
here to ask for the prompt carrying out OF
promised reforms. is bitterly disappointed
With the governments action.
The dcputation had congratulated Pre-
rier Canovas When thesannouncement was
made that certain reforms had been grant

visions Of the bill which passed the cortes.
put when the royal DEGREES putting those
reforms in force were published i'll the Ga
,ette and had been carefully read the men,
hers of the doputation were deeply cha
grined and outspoken In dissenting. They
say the West Indian autonomists want
much more and can not accept the govern
ment measures.
After close examination of the DEGREES
the liberal and republican politicians and
their leading newspapers severely criticize
the restricted use which the government
has made of the elastic and broad powers
conferred by the colonial reform act drawn
I'D in 1895 by Senior Abrazuza and approved
BY the liberal government of Senior Sagasta.
Il The Correo calls the Porto Rico REFORM
DEGREES dangerous joke, curtailing even
what little administrative government that
Is apparently granted.
Senior Sagasta and the liberals say they
worded the bill with a view to permitting
very much broader concessions.
Senior Abrazuza says he would have con-
strued it more literally, especially under
existing circumstances.
The Spanish government is much pleased
with the friendly attitude and assurances
Of President Cleveland and Secretary Olney
when the Spanish minister at Washington
communicated to them the intentions of
Spain Is embodied in the preamble aud de-
crees relating TO Porto Rican reforms.
The ministerial press echoes the impress
