ten of which were placed in Havana

peculiarly constructed cable, which he
contends, he can positively identify If
the smallest piece is produced. Some
of the mines, the man continues, whose
name has been sent to Washington,
were fixed so they could be fred from
a fort, and two of them had bulbs ar
ranged that they would explode upon
a vessel coming in contact with them
He exhibited the plans of one

spaatsh Beadhouders' Scheme to Settle
she Cuban situasioa.
WASHINGTON, March The syndi-
cate of Spanish bondholders has form
ulated q scheme for intervention in
the Cuban situation which is now
being seriously considered by the
President 1t will probably be adopt
ed by the administration. but the
chances OF its success are remote.
The scheme is to be pressed vigor-
ously. and if the details are not agreed
to within q. fortnight, the entire ar.
rangement will be declared or Mean
while. the Maine matter is to be kept
out Of sight as far as possible.
Briefly stated. the syndicate's
scheme is as follows: This govern.
mcnt is to offer its services to the
queen of Spain and the President of
the so-called Cuban republic as medi.
ator between the two parties Before
another step is taken both parties will
suspend hostilities Spain will not be
compelled to withdraw her troops i'm
mediately, but they l-ust be massed
in the cities
One of the first propositions is that
the Cuban republic shall 60 out of ex-
istence the moment the agreement is
effected
President Mckinley. or q commits
sion selected by him. will undertake
to determine how the Spanish debt,
incurred on account of the war in
Cuba, is to be settled. This debt
amounts to from $500, 600, 900 to $780,
100000. 1t will probably be scaled
down and new bonds will be issued
for the amount which Cuba must pay.
Spanish sovereignty will continue on
the island for twenty-five years, but
during that time the Cubans will have
their own legislature and the governor
will be selected by the United States.
This government, besides guaran.
teeing the payment of the bonds, will
see that the revenues derived from
customs and other sources are applied
to the extinguishment of the debt
At the end of twenty-five years the
Cubans are to be given their freedom,
and be permitted to elect their own
president. There are other details,
but the above are the most important
provisions of the scheme suggested by
the syndicate.
