SPANLARDS ASKING DELAY.
They Have a New Scheme Of Autonomy for
Cuba.


New York. March 2s-Spain, al
though apparently defiant. has asked
for further delay before the United
states does anything more about Gu
ha, says the Warrington correspondent
of the Herald This request was made
through Senior Polo Barnabe. He
promised in Spains behalf that she
would lay before the state dept rtment
at an early day plan for Il more lib
eral government in Cuba. This plan.
the minister declared would be so
far and liberal that 1t would be salts
factory to the United States and the
Cuban insurgents, and would bring
about peace ON the island.
Spain's proposal is generally be-
lieved in Washington to have come too
late. President Mckinley and the
Spanish diplomats are. however, hope
full. The President has not yet given up
hope OF averting war,and with Charac
teristic patience, is ready to consider
anything that might lead to Il peace
full solution of the Cuban question.
Details Of Spain's new plan was
made known by Minister Polo, who
explained to Assistant Secretary Day
tina Spain would not yield her soNer-
eighty over cuba. She would give
the island home rule, withdraw her
troops and exercise the most limited
authority. but her nag must remain
over Cuba.
1t was also plainly staed by the min
lister that the independence OF Cuba
could not be bought with money.
While President Mckinley is dis
posed to look with favor upon SPANS
uroposition IL Is not doubted that, as
a result of his consultations with cabi-
net members and other leaders, the
minister viii be told that no pledge
can be given TO endorse any policy
spain may adopt short of Cuban. in

Washington, March 2s.-one of the
main points brought out by the tes-
timony in the Maine case which will
go to Congress today with the report
OF the board Of inquiry, will correct
a wrong impression that has
prevailed all over the country. The
testimony win prove that the battle
ships position was not changed after
she entered the harbor. She was
moored to a buoy and remained there
until blown up. The statement has
been made repeatedly in the press that
her position was changed the night
before the explosion by the direction
of the master Of Havana harbor.
