Washington, Oct. 5.-One of the re-
suits of the formation OF the Sagasta
cabinet in Spain, it is believed, will
be the granting of amnesty to most, II
not to all, American prisoners held in
Cuba, and the pardon Of many Cubans
condemned to Imprisonment in the
island of Ceuta. Pending completion
Of the Sagasta cabinet there has
been no official intimation that such
action would be taken, but it is said
to be a natural and necessary part of
the new Spanish policy involving the
withdrawal of Weyler and the adoption
OF more conciliatory plans. ] he Com
petitor prisoners, it is expected, will
be released early and Miss CisnerOs
also. Concerning pending claims, such
as that in the case of DR.. Ruiz, it is
said that a commission will probably
be proposed to deal with all claims
arising during the rebellion, and there
are tntimations that steps toward the
creation of such g COM
mission is now under way
Although there is continued reticence
at the state department concerning
SpaDish-C1ban affairs, it is under
stood that the government has been
Informed that Spain will offer autono-
my to Cuba similar to that enjoyed by
Canada, and in administration circles
the opinion prevails that if full au-
tonomy is offered it ought to be ac-
cepted by the Cubans. The incoming
Sagasta cabinet is welcomed by the
administration, which several weeks
ago was apprehensive of the possible
early disturbance of our friendly re-
lations with Spain.

Madrid, Oct. 5.-The new ministry
is constituted as follows: Sagasta
president Of the council OF ministers
GuilOn, minister of foreign affairs;
Groizard, minister of justice: General
COrrea, minister of war; Admiral Ber-
mejO, minister Of marine; PuigcerveT
minister OF france; Capdepon, minis
ter Of the interior; Count Xiguena
minister of public works; Morel, min
lister of colonies.
The cabinet is regarded as fairly
strong, although some disap-
pointment was felt that Gamazo,
looked upon as probable members
Maura, Arijo and others who had been
looked upon as probable members
are not included. 1t is understood
that Maura who was the author of
the first Cuban home rule bill felt
that he could not act satisfactorily
with Morel, while GamaZo, who is a
relative of Maura, feared that his
presence might imply a leaning to-
wards the Maura scheme of reforms.
Consequently Sagasta was compelled
to take less prominent men.
Paris, Oct. "a special CORES
pondent of the Figaro has written an
article, which was published in that
paper Monday, on the mission OF
Gen. Woodford, United States minis
ter to Spain. The writer says that the
attitude of Woodford thus far has
been irreproachable and after reiter
ating the supposed plans of the United
States, he concludes: "Sagastas re-
sIonsibility is heavy and by no
means enviable. 1t is dangerous to
admit in negotiations with the
Cubans any interference of the United
States, IS the latter would thereby
acquire a kind of right to control the
affairs Of the island. 1t is, moreover:
impossiblo to mistake the aims OF
American diplomacy which are to
gradually detach Cuba from Spain.
The latter is entitled to the sOlicitude
of Europe who is herself threatened
in regard to her colonial security"
