SPANISH EDITOR MENDEz
Visits Havana to Study Present
Conditions.

Havana, Nov. 21.-Senor Jose Canal
jas Mendez, editor of Ell Heraldo of
Madrid, one of the leaders of the Span
ish Liberals, and former cabinet min
lister, Immediately after his arrival here
to study the conditions of the island,
visited the authorities. Later he was
entertained at banquet, and has al
ready had many conferences with lead
ing representatives of the various par
ties.
He had advised the Conservatives to
acknowledge the good faith of the gov
ernment's intents and declarations with
reference TO the new regime.
Last night Senior Canaljas exchanged
views with the autonomiStS. The con-
ference was we'll attended, and the
proceedings were of the most cordial
character. Senior Galvez, the president
Of the AutonOmist party, traced the
history Of the party, and the persecu-
ton it had suffered for its loyalty to
its principles. He said he had never
made himself a partisan of General
Weyler's political or military policy.
He confined himself to Indicating his
gratitude when General Weyler re-
leased the imprisoned autonomists.
In his opinion signs Of favorable re-
action were now evident, and he be-
heved that the announcement of the
new regime would lead to thorough
reorganization OF the AutOnOrniSt party
as soon as sufficient guarantees were
offered for the establishment of the new
regime. The Autonomist party would
then demonstrate it's Importance and
influence
Senior Galvez also indicated that the
conduct Of Captain General Blanco
thus far met with his full appreciation.
Senior Galvez and Senior Canaljas
agree in thinking that the serious
economical problem confronting the
country would be best solved by au-
tonomY, but the study Of this question
is rendered additionally difficult by the
want Of statistics and data necessary
to prepare a definite scheme of solu-
ton.
Ell Pals, the autonomist organ, says
today that the evident conviction of
Senior Canaljas is not consistent with
the promises of Senior Sagasta. It con-
siders the action of Senior Canalias in
coming here as entirely in order, ap-
plauds his patriotism and intellectual
gifts, and expresses the hope that he
wiz soon visit other parts of the is
land.
This he expects to do, beginning with
the province of Pinar del Rio. He will
accompany the Spanish columns in
their campaign.

sick and he continued to grow weaker
and weaker, until 7:15 O. clock this even
ing, when he passed away. The death
of the general was doubtless fastened
by the sad and recent events in connec-
ton with his hayward daughter, Bet
tina Girard. The latter, a complete
wreck, was a day or two transferred to
a private sanitarium from Bellevue
hospital. Owing to the pleadingS Of
his wife, who had become reconciled to
her daughter, General Ordway finally
consented to the return of the prodigal,

by the attending physician to jaundice
and pleurisy, which developed from a
cold contracted in Paris.
