THE BIKE AND THE SKATE.

Washington, Jan. 4.-The men who
rode in the international bike race at
Convention hall during the past week
are resting after their severe labors
of the past six days. None of them

and Tom Linton, the Welshman will
leave during the week for Chicago
where they will, in several weeks,
start on another six day race. The
American riders probably will enter
the same race.

PORTO RICO REFORMS.
GREAT DISSATISFACTION WITH THE
SPANISH DEGREES
The Spanish Government Say That They
Are Safe While Grover Cleve-
land and 0lney Rule.

New York, Jan. A special to the
World from Madrid says: The auto
nOmist deputation from Porto Rico,
which came here to ask for the
prompt carrying out of promised re-
forms, is bitterly disappointed with
the government actions.
The deputatiOn had congratulated
Premier Canovas when the announce
ment was made that certain reforms
had been granted, on at least having
put in effect the provision of the bill
which passed the COrtes. But when
the ten royal DEGREES, putting those
reforms in force We're published in the
Gazette and had been carefully read,
the members of the deputatiOn were
deeply chagrined and outSpoken in
dissenting.
They say the West Indian author
ity is not what the autOnomiSts want
and they cannot accept the govern
ment measures. After close PXamina-
ton of the DEGREES the Liberal and Re-
publican politicians and their leading
newspapers severely criticised the re-
stricted, very conservative use with
the present government had made of
the elastic and broad posers conferred
by the colonial reform act drawn up
in 1895 by Senior \. BraZuZa and APP
proved by the Liberal government of
Senior Segasta.
The COrreo calls the reform decree
a dangerous joke, curtailing even
what little administrative government
is apparently granted.
Senior SagaSta and the Liberals say
they worded the bill with view to
permitting much broader concessions.
Senior AbruaZaur said he would
have constructed it more literally
and practically under existing cir
cumStances.
The Spanish government is much
| pleased with the friendly attitude and
| assurance of President Cleveland and
| Secretary Olney, when the Spanish
minister communicated to them the
/ intentions of Spain. and embodied il
in the preamble and DEGREES relating
| to- Porto Rico reforms.
| The Ministerial Press ecnoeS the
| impression in high quarters that Spain
| has nothing to fear as long as PrCSi-
l dent Cleveland remains in Office.

PANAMA CANAL SCHEMES

New York, Jan. "A special to the
Herald from Panama says: Much
comment has been caused here by the
publication of a dispatch from Paris
which states that extraordinary eff
forts are being made to reorganizc the
Panama Canal company.
The fact is that a new canal COM
pany was formed two years ago and
the work has been going forward on
a large scale for some time. At pres
ent the company employs near g.
600 men.
Your correspondent has interviewed
several officials of the company. They
say that, however, acceptable the
news from Paris would be. ii is GER
tainly premature. The work they are
now carrying on is merely intended
to prove to the world that the scheme
is practicable. The officials further
stated that the object was to gain
public confidence. When that was
done they would make an appeal and
seek capital. but not before.

WEYLER'S RECALL.

1t is Definitely Decided Upon 80 Say
the ,Tunta.
New York. Jan. News has been
received at the Cuban Junta from
Washington to the effect that the
Spanish government has positively de-
termined to recall Captain General
Weyler Gen. Primo de Rivera, it is
said will succeed Gen. Weyler in Gu
ba. He is a captain-general in the
Spanish army and in favor with the
CanOvas government.
Minister Taylor. it is said Informed
the secreatry of the navy several days
ago that the authorities at Madrid
were on the point of relieving Gen.
Wpyler of his command in Cuba and
of appointing as successor Captain
General Rivera.
Reasons were given in brief why
a change was decided advisable and a
statement was made as to the prob
able time when the orders would be
promulgated. 1t is learned that the
Madrid government is displeased with
the fact that Gen. Weyler with about
two hundred thousand troops has not
put down the Cuban revolution. He
has expended large sums of money,
but so far has made no decided head
way in accomplishing his main object,
that of quelling the instruction and
restoring peace and quieting Cuba.
His troops have been victorious on
occasions, but they have also met de-
feat and the total result, considering
Spain's outlay in life and treasure, is
far from satisfactory. Too much amy
have been expected of Weyler; just
as the exaction was great in the case
of Campos. Still the one great re-
duirement. success, has not been Sc
cured and Weyler has consequently
fallen in official esteem in Madrid.
