Congosto said, and they were responsible for the present situation. They had re- moved the Spanish governors of the six provinces and appointed Cubans in their stead. One of these governors in former days had been sentenced to death. More than this, the autonomc cabinet had re- moved all the Spanish mayors of the differ ent cities and appointed Cubans in their places. All the judges of the courts had been removed and Cubans substituted. It was system more liberal than that in Canada today. General Blanco did not pre- side at the meeting of the cabinet, and had no more power than the governor-general of Canada. Elections had been ordered the same as those held in the Canadian prov inces They would be held some time In April. When he was asked whether the franchise was based on a property quali- fication, he replied: "No; the only quaiih- cation is the ability to read and write, and loyalty"
 "Are the negroes to vote the same as the whites?" he was asked.
 Certainly" was the reply. "There is no distinction as to race or creed here we recognize tn enegro as an equal with the whites. both socially and politically. The blacks are far more free than those In the limited States he'' he remarked, for IT l am to believe what see in your American newspapers many Of them are ueparreo from voting. In Cuma there is no feeling against them, nor any question whatever of their rights to vote."
 In reply to further questions, Dr. Con- gosto said that the inspectors ana cah- vassers of elections were all appointed by the autonomists
 |. 1T am told" said the visitor, 'that the Spaniards will vote against autonomy
 ."This may be true" was the answer. T am inclined to the opinion that the span iards will carry the country"
 If was suggested that the autonomist elective officers might manipulate the re- turns so as to give an autonomlst ma iority Dr Congosto smiled, and repleo' ssYou seem to be familiar with the Ameri- can system of conducting elections. Here the system is an experiment" he contin- ned shrugging his shoulders, put 1t IS my belief that the autonomists will pc sue cessful." ,,oa
 In further conversation it was alleged that the autonomists were the ones who were making proposals to the fnsurgent chiefs and endeavoring to draw them With in the line of autonomy. He expressed no opinion as to the result of such an experl- ment.
 .sWell, doctor" said the visitor, If the autonomists elect a majority ana sys- tenn is inaugurated the same as that Tn Canada. what next? It has not recelved the Endorsement of the Spanish cortes.
 "No," replied the secretary general. "The last cortes made no provision for 1t, but new cortes, under the administration of Sagasta, is to be chosen, and they will have the power to sanction it,
 Here the visitor remarked that Martinez Campos had made . similar proposition
The age-herald., 1898-04-10

so as to end the ten-years' war It had been practically accepted by the insurg- ents and Gomez and Maceo had laid down their arms and left the island, with explicit understanding that autonomy was to be given, yet when Campos be- came prime minister of Spain the cortes failed to indorse it. Congosto made no reference to Campos, but replied that this proposition came from Sagasta. The elections in Spain would undoubtedly re- suit in the triumph of Sagasta- The shr suit in the triumph of Sagasta's adminis- tration. The government usually carried the elections, and in his opinion there was no doubt about this one. A cortes would be elected that would support the proposi- tion of autonomy coming from the prime minister. Here the visitor said all would then remain in the hands of the prime minister. If he should change his mind and reverse his steps, the cortes would un- doubtedly vote in accordance with his wishes and refuse autonomy.
 To this no reply was made, save shrug of the shoulders. The doctor apparently believed that none was necessary.
 All this time General Lee continued his conversation with General Blanco. As the party arose they were conducted again to the apartment containing the portraits of the captain-generals. tI was remarked that the captain-generals of the seventies nth century bore striking resemblance to the signers of the Declaration of Independence. They wore queues and had clean shaven faces. Some had blue eyes and Roman features, presenting marked contrast to the most of their successors. General Blan- co and General Lee with General Parade, sat down at the desk, while an artist sketched all three. The conversation rip- pied right merrily, with the assistance of an interpreter and an occasional sally from Congosto. It was more of a social than a formal reception.
 Five minutes afterward formal leave of the captain-general was taken. As the party descended the marble stairway they stopped to admire the statute of Columbus. Files of Spanish soldiers still remained at the entrance.
 Tt was here in front of this statute,' said correspondent who accompanied the party, ''that the body of General Aran- guran was placed when it was brought to Havana It was borne here covered with blood, amid the imprecatiens of the Span ish volunteers. Blanco, from the second- story window witnessed the demonstrations With an impatient wave of the hand he promptly ordered the corpse to be taken to the morgue. When the relatives of the un- fortunate young Cuban patriot sought it the general humaney turned it over to their care, and 1t received a Christian
