To BE Immediately Instituted.

Washington, Nov. 29.-Senor de LONE,
the Spanish minister, had an interview
with Assistant Secretary Day today. 1t
Dis the plan of Capt. General Blanco to
take steps for the immediate execution of
the reform schemes of the Madrid gov
eminent, and to do this legally pro-
visional arrangement will be made. The
captain general will appoint directly full
cabinet, composed of secretary of the
interior and justice, who will be the pre-
mier, secretary of finance, secretary
Of public instruction, secretary Of pub
lie works. and finally a secretary of agri-
culture, industry and commerce. With
this cabinet the captain general will have
at his hands the means for fully equipped
executive government, which lasts until
the elections shall have resulted in the
choice of new government. These
elections are delayed, it is said only by
reason of the lack of any accurate census
of the population of Cuba, which is es-
sential in order to apportion the repre-
sentation in the legislature.

The Contest Between Joe ChOynski
30 and Jim Jeffries.
San Francisco, Nov. 3O.-Joe Choyn-
ski Of San Francisco and Jim .Ielfr;es
of Los Angeles fought twenty rounds
to a draw tonight before the National
club. Choynski conceded fifty pounds
in weight, and on this account was COM
PEELED to draw on his superior iing gen.
eralship and long experience at the
game to avoid the rushes of his giant
opponent. Jeffries, who displayed much
improvement in the art of defense and
attack, still lacked experience. Choyn-
ski avoided clinching, except when alb
solutely necessary, and his ducking was
marvellous. He depended almost entire
ly on left jabs on the nose and mouth
to stop the big fellow, and after the
eleventh round kept blood flowing from
Jeffries' nose.
In the second round Jeffries brought
ChoynsN down with left swing on
the neck which left Joe fiat on his back.
The blow was Ineffective however, and
Joe arose as strong as before.
Referee Jimmie McDonald's decision
was satisfactory to the crowd Of 5000
persons.
