some means more certain even than the

criminal would be carried to cell,

"a. Dissenslon Among Autononists.,
HAVANA, Oct 2s.-The failure Of
the autonomist policy of the new
Spanish ca binet seems more and more
apparent every day. Discussions are
known to exist among the autonomist
leaders, and the conservatives have
pronounced themselves strongly OPP
posed to the granting Of an auton-
omist form of government to Cuba,
and have, 80. to say, washed their
hands of the consequences which may
follow if the government at Madrid
persists in carrying out the plans of
Premier Sagasta. The conservatives
held q meeting in Havana, lasting four
hours, at which several speeches were
made in opposition TO the policy Of
autonomy for Cuba, and 1t was unan.
imously agreed that the conservative
party should energetically oppose
autonomy and the policy of the Sagasts
cabinet in this direction.
