AUTONOMY IS OUT OF THE QUESTION.

To Hasten the Wanted Result and

New York, October s.--The Herald to-
morrow will print number OF interviews
with leading Cubans here on the situation
on the island.
The Cubans all declare that autonomy
for the islands is out OF the question, but
most Of them are in favor of paying Spain
a reasonable indemnity providing she
evacuates the island at once
Estrada Palma, representative OF the
Cuban government, said: ITO the Cuban
patriot 1t makes little difference whether
a liberal or conservative ministry directs
affairs In Spain. A change in government
in Spain does not alter the case of the Gu
bans. They are now more firmly determined
than ever to push the fight until the abso-
lutte Independence of Cuba is acknowl-
edged. believe the Cubans are willing to
pay reasonable indemnity to Spain pro-
vided she withdraws her troops from Cuba
before the island is completely ruined"
Enrique de Verona said: II believe au-
tonomy would complic~,e rather then solve
the Cuban situation. Absolute indcpend-
ence Is the aspiration OF the immense ma
jority OF the Cuban people. Cuba needs a
definite political regime Spanish autonomy
would not give 1t to the island. The only
practical solution OF the Cuban problem Is
absolute independence.
Brigadier Eugenio Sanchez Agramote,
surgeon general OF the Cuban army, said:
"Cubans are determined to fight until alb
solute independence is accomplished But
a few millions. moro or less, provided the
sum is reasonable, vial be paid by them to
Spain in order to avoid a prolongation OF
the struggle"
Regarding the plan for the purchase Of
Cuba from the Spanish government Gem
eral Nunez. who for the past ten days has
been In consultation with the junta lead
ers in New York, said II can not see whv
the plans for the freedom OF Cuba on the
basis OF a guarantee OF an indemnity to
Spain would not be accepted. The
United States could afford TO lack
up the proposition, because 1t would
have the revenue OF Cuba to guarantee re-
endorsement and would gain immediate
improvements of its trade relations. be-
l,eve that stern as our resolution is, the
majority OF our people are not 30 unwise
as to imagine 1t better to fight to the last
gasp rather than settle the struggle on
terms OF indemnity"

London, October 4.-The Madrid corre-

no alternative but resigning. She frank
ly expressed her disapproval OF the con-

OF the anarchist prisoners.
She said she allowed Senior Canovas to
remain in office in the hope that De %ould
modify the rigor Of his repreeeive policy
In Cuba and that she had repeatedly called
the attention OF ministers to administrat
scandals and abuses. Moreover her mai
esty said she waited patiently for two
months after the death CT Senior Canoyas in
the hope that the new government would
correct these evils. On its failure to do

as to the best means OF pacifying Cuba by

You ask me II the liberal party would
assent to mediation by the United Stctes

that America could suggest?

In our domestic affairs or with our col
