Latest Order Liberates All the Suffer-
ers of the Island-Spain Weakening
Greatly Under Pressure.
Havana, April 2.-Captain-Gen
Blanco has issued an important decree,
dated March 80, and published this
morning in which he directs the end
of recommendation in the four western
provinces, Pinar del Rio, Havana, Ma
tanzas and Santa Clara.
The preamble sets forth that the
racification of the eastern provinces
having been considerably advanced by
the combined action of arms and the
natural effect of the establishment of
autonomy in giving security to the
country, making possible the advance
ment of the sugar, tobacco and food
crops; it also being near the time
when the minor paintings give the
means of living to the laboring classes
and peasants; also believing the time
has come to resume the normal condi-
tions in the towns and villages, to do
away with the cause of suffering among
the people, to remove so far as possible
all the effects of the concentrates and
further to give complete liberty to all
the country people to return to such
places as they desire to do such labor
as they may select, this order is issned.
The preamble further says that for
the reConcentrados who are without re-
sources or instruments with which to
labor remaining in towns or centers
previously set apart for their use, the
colonial government proposes to the
encouragement plan of relief. In
this plan, the mayors and alcaldes are
expected to take part, establishing soup
kitchens, ETC., and doing all in their
power to terminate the existing misery.
After the preamble, the order con.
tinues:
Article /. After the publication
OF this order, the reconcentrados and
their families will be allowed to return
home in the four provinces given above.
Article 2. Orders all relief COM
mittees and military authorities to ia
ciltate the workings of the decree and
also to aid the reconcentradOs in secur-
ing new houses.
Article 8. Directs the colonial
government, through its secretary and
ministerial officers, to prepare to exc
cute all necessary orders to secure for
the country people work on public i'm
provements and also to give food by
economical kitchens to all suffering,
attention being called to those on the
small country estates.
Article 4. All the expenses over
and above the funds now in the hands
OF the committee are to be provided for
under the head of an extraordinary war
credit.
Article 5. All former orders of
reconcentration are abrogated."

ASKED BLANCO'S OPINION.
How the Situation Now Appears in
Madrid.

New York, April "A dispatch to
the World from Madrid says: The
Spanish government has wired the sub
stance of the negotiations between this
country and the United States to Cap
tain-General Blanco, at Havana, with
a view of obtaining his opinion on the
disposition of the insular government,
the autonomist and other colonial par
ties, and as to what disposition the
army and the volunteers would show
toward the contemplated means to has
ten the pacification OF Cuba.
While conflicting impressions prevail
in political and diplomatic circles on
the issue of the negotiations, the i'm
preston is that the government will
do its best to secure peace by reason
able concessions to America and Cuba,
although complete independence may
not be conceded.

SPAIN REALIZES HER POSITION
Knows That There Is but One Thing to
Do, and That Is to Give In.

Madrid. April l.-While the situa-
tinn here is outwardly of the calmest
description, the actual position of
affairs is regarded as critical by both
the United States legation and the
Spanish government. The United
States minister, General Stewart Wood
ford, is working and will continue to
work energetically for peace until the
first gun is fired. 1t is known the
Spanish admits the desirability or ne
cessity of complying with the demands
of the United States, and it is only in
the disinclination of the ministers to
put this willingness in concrete form
where the danger lies. If conference
were to be held with the German or
French diplomats, the matter would be
settled without question. The point
which General Woodford is now press
ing is that in the interest of humanity
hostilities in Cuba must cease immedi-
ately. No date was fixed either in the
first or in the present note, but the
United States is now dwelling upon
the Immediately" and insisting that
Spain accept its general Interpretation.
The public generally is taking little
apparent interest in the situation, but
there is general disinclination to be-
lieve that war is likely.
A dispatch from Barcelona says that
the armed steam yacht Gralda, pur-
chased by the Spanish government
from Harry McCalmont, the English
racehorse owner, after the vessel had
been rejected by the United States, is
now being fitted up as dispatch boat.
El Pals says four warships have been
obtained by Spain in France, and that
negotiations are pending for the pur-
chse of several torpedo-boats in Great
Britain. Ell Pals also says that orders
have been issued to mobilize all the
Spanish war ships, and that the tor
pedo-boat Halcon is to sail Immediate
ly from Cartagena for Cadiz, where a
second torpedo squadron is being pre-
pared. Military engineers are starting
for the Canary islands, and the Bale
aric islands are being fortified
Italy, it is said by Ell Pals, has de.
cided to sell the armored cruiser Gus.
seppe Garibaldi, of 6,S40 tons, well
armored, sister ship of the Varez, to
Spain.
Two regiments. according to Ell Pals,
are going to the Canary islands to
strengthen the Spanish garrison there.
Ell Pals sees in the meeting between
General Woodford and the Spanish
minister yesterday an indication that
the United States is gaining time and
waiting for the rainy season, SO as to
take Spain at disadvantage in Cuba. "
The Armstrong; Spanish agent, a
Spaniard who is in touch with the gov.
eminent and commercial people in
Spain, has expressed the belief that
unless the powers intercede, there will
be war.

QUEEN REGENTS APPEAL.
Wrote for Help to the Sovereigns o
EurOpe.

Europe.
London, April 2.-The Vienna cor
respondent of the Standard says: The
queen regent of Spain, learn, wrote
personally last week to Emperor Fran
els Joseph and other sovereigns, in
cludng Emperor Nicholas, requesting
not precisely intervention, but the ex-
ercise OF such influence at Washington
as might conduce to settlement of
the injury to Spain's dignity and vital
interests.
10 her relatives in Austria her ma
Jesty wrote that she regards herself as
more fettered than a real sovereign,
because she is only a trustee who has
undertaken to hand over to son an
inheritance from his father unimpaired
and uninjured.
i am in difficult POSITION" she
said, having to act as guardian of
the dynasty which must not expose
TO any danger. To surrender Cuba in
any form will unquestionably be injur-
ing the dynasty under which such sur.
render occurred, whereas to fight for it
would keep these interests intact, to-
gether with my country's honor. But
the disadvantages Spain would have
TO light under are obvious, and peace
tul solution would best serve every
purpose"
do not pretend to give the text of
the queen regents letter, but only the
general sense. The recipients have
oeen deeply impressed by the serious
ness of such communication from a
woman OF remarkable energy and sense
oi duty, confronted by such moment

Captain Robley D. Evans, who goes
into command of the war ship Iowa,
vice Captain Sampson, has no rival for
popularity in Washington, or in the
navy department. The captain is
quoted as having said recently that il
he had his way "there would be
nothing but Spanish talked in - for
the next five years." Evans was in
command of the Yorktown during the
late trouble with Chile, and he wanted
to blow Valparaiso off the earth because
OF the insults put upon America by the
citizens of that town. But the navy
department refused, and Evans was
commended for the admirable self
restraint he exercised

Changes Among Instructors.

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 3O.-This Is examina-
ton and registration week at the state uni
versity, and busy hum suggestive Of the
coming term already pervades most of the
buildings. The examinations began Tues
day, the subjects being English grammar,
English composition and elementary algebra,
and examination in the various other
branches will continue during the week and
concluding next Monday. The number of
those taking the examinations so far COM
pares very favorably with that of last year.
Several changes have been made in the
personnel Of Instructors. DIR. Richard Bur-
ton, whose series of lectures here last spring
on 1.-The Novel" created such favorable
impression, will take the chair of English
language and literature. Prof. Carl Schank-
er takes the place of Fraulien Pauline Schoen
as Instructor in German. 1t will be remem-
bered that the latter instructor had leave
Of absence last year while she pursued her
studies in Germany, her sister substituting
for her. Neither of these ladies will be at
the university this year. Prof. Kelly, In
structor in French, will not be back, and
his place has not yet been filled. Mr.. Nor

How the Money So Raised Is to BE
Used.

The mortgage for $5,o00,oOO. which the St.
Paul Duluth Railway company has given to
the Guarantee Trust Company Of New York
IS part Of the consolidation scheme which was
endorsed by the stockholders Of the railway
In April. 1t was recommended by the direc-
tors that bonds to the amount OF five millions
be issued for the following purposes: Three
million dollars to be reserved for retiring, at
maturity 81 600, coo first mortgage per cent
bonds, and $4,000 900 second mortgage . per
cent bonds
Two millions of dollars to the extent re-
quired, to be used for the retirement of
the Saltwater G. St. Paul Railroad company
first mortgage per cent bonds; the Taylor's
Falls & Lake Superior Railroad company's
first mortgage per cent bonds; the Duluth
Short Line Railway company's first mortgage
per cent bonds. The balance IS to be ap
piled to the restoration OF the land and
stumPage trust fund of the balance due; to
the equipment of freight cars in accordance
with United States law with automatic
couple-s and air brakes; the completion of
the reduction OF grades the main line and
the purchase of new equipment and general
betterment Of the railroad property.
1t is expected by the company that the in
creased number of tons that can be hauled in
trains by completing the grade reductions
will reduce the operating expenses much
more than the interest upon the cost of the
work
