AS prophesied in The Spy, the very

that the real fight in the upper courts

THE LAW IN CUBA.

matters in connection with the admin

1t was pointed out that the collec-

administration of laws relating to pos
tai matters and the courts and many
other important branches of the gov

matters.
Practically a new government had to
be established and 1t was agreed that
the multitudinous affairs incident to

FULLY administered only by the creation
OF several bureaus, at the head Of which
you'd be placed men of wide expert
ence in the particular work to which
they would be assigned, all to be under
the general direction Of the military
governor.
These matters We're gone over at
some length, and 1t is expected that the
several Cabinet members win take 10
the details Of the proposed plan at once
as far as their respective depart
ments are concerned, and submit their
conclusions to the president at an ear

a small way and as far as practical

bordinate capacity, if this can be done
without detrjment to the service. This

SUBWAY EXPLOSION CASE
Jury Gives Verdict Against the Boston Gas
Light Company

Boston, Dec 31.-The suit at law
officially known as Wolf Koplan VS. the
Boston Gas Light Company ct ais, but
which is locally called the subway eX-
plosion case" was given to the jury
late yesterday afternoon, and early this
morning it reported verdict of $4,000
against the Boston Gas Light Co. The
case was begun November 8, in the SUI
perior court before Judge Kelley and
has occupied every court day since that
time, the longest trial on record in this
city and in which the ablest lawyers
in The commonwealth have struggled.
The amount involved is only $4,000,
but the suit has been regarded as
test case, and each Of the defendants
felt that the result in the Koplan case
would practically settle the result in
the rest of the 70 or more suits in which
damages aggregating probably Sl,OOO,OOO
are claimed on account Of injuries suS-
tanned in the explosion which occurred
March 4, 1897, at BOylstOn and fremont
streets. In the explosion number OF
persons We're killed.
AS originally brought there were tlVe
defendants-the Boston Gas Light Co,
the Metropolitan Construction Co., the
Edison Electric Illuminating Co., the
West End Street Railway Co, and the
Boston Electric Lighting Co. Later the
plaintiffs counsel discontinued against
the Boston Electric Light Co. and the
Edison Co.

We propose, said he, to show that the
regular schedule of the street railway
provides for regular cars between Wor-

minutes, and that at certain times in
the year extra cars are run every 10
minutes; that the regular cars leave at

sAGASTA'S ILLNESS.
That Is the Only Thing That Has STAYED
off a Crisis.

Madrid, Dec. 3O.-EI Liberal publishes
an interview with a minister, whose
name is not given, which represents
him as declaring that the advent of the
liberals to power is only delayed by
Senior Sagasta's illness. "AlI the min
listers" says the one in question, had
already handed in their designations,
but the premier's sudden illness STAYED
off the crisis. But above all problems
of interior politics, there is one oues-
ton Of extraordinary gravity affecting
the very existence of the fatherland.
This question preoccupies our s5ates-
men so deeply that It would suffice to
unite them to prevent fresh catastro-
Plies It Is impossible to speak clearly
on this point I can only say the pre-
occupation includes fears OF apprehend-
ed events which might glve a pretext
for thing England is pursuing with
effrontery"
The interview has excited much COM
ment and much anxiety is felt as TO
what the ministerial organs would have
to saw,
