Spanish Cabinet Approves of the Pol
icy for Cuba and the Philippines.

MADRID, Nov. THE Cabinet Council
has approved the proposal of political am
resty for Cuba and the Philippines. The
government denies that the action to be
taken with regard to the remarks
made Ex-Governor General Weyler to
the deputation that waited on him
shortly before he left Havana is the result
of any suggestion on the subject received
from Washington. No communication has
been received from the American govern
ment on that matter. FL Liberal, referring
to mysterious threats made in New York
by people interested in separatist affairs
and to the revelation of gigantic immoral
speculation" says: mo doubt, anxiety has

was discovered that the incendiaries had
cut the fire-bell rope, and steam whistles
had to be resorted to. Those who gathered
at the first call did not wait for the engines
and hose, but attached the hotel hose to the
well on the grounds and commenced the
fight. One engine reached the scene, but
its work was delayed owing presumably
to the ''firebugs'' having cut holes in the
the hydrant, and in screwing up the
couplings so tight that time was lost in
4oosening them: The flames spread from
Wcodshed and boiler room to the kitchen
