A NEW ERA IS At HAND.
Autonomy to Be Established
in Cuba.
THE PLAN AS SET FORTH

Blanco to Control Government Depart
ments-CrOwn Ministers to Dictate
His Course-Cubans VIII Not Accept.
Havana, Jan. 3.-The Gazette (otfi-
ciaD has printed the autunomic legis'
lation for Cuba. General BlancO in
his edict assumes supreme command of
all branches of the government as the
delegate OF the crown ministers of state,
war, navy and foreign affairs, who re-
side in Madrid, and who will continue
to dictate to General Blanco what he
shall do in carrying out his functions.
General Blanco, or any other cap
tain-general who might be appointed
in his place, will be simply a vice-roval
governor, and will be assisted by six
secretaries assembled with their chair
mar in a council of government. The
government will 90 into effect on Sat-
urday next, and will be formed of five
secretaries with their chairman (siX
altOgether). The list of five secretaries
has already been forecasted by cable,
with the exception that the depart
ment OF posts and telegraphs will be
under Senior Rodriguez.
The correspondent of the Madrid I'm
parcial, who has ridden over a greater
part OF the island, writes to his paper
that he saw at San Jose Lajas, this
province, 1900 re~concentrados thrown
into the streets or dying in vretched
huts, mere living skeletons. He stated
that 10000 have died within a year.
Most of the reconcentrados, he says, do
not care to work when they leave their
homes. They carried with them all
their belongings, and have gradually
sold them. Their physical strength is
wasted, and they need a helping hand
to lift them even from the gutter.
Several correspondents of Ell Diario
de la Marina describe the horrible
misery due to fevers and sickness in
different towns in the province of Santa
Clara, The people are without shelter
or medical assistance. The winter
season increases the suffering among
them. The women are half nude. with
their naked infants wasted with cold
and hunger.

ENGLAND TO THE FRONT.
will Resist Russians Pretensions in Asia
Japan VIII Aid Her.

Chicago, Jan. 3.-A special from
Minneapolis says: Advices from Of
iowa indicate that the British govern
ment is preparing to actively resist
Russian occupancy of Port Arthur and
Russian influence in Corea, and also
that the cooperation OF the japanese
fleet with that of Great Britain is a
well-settled fact.
Information has been received from
q reliable source to the effect that the
Ottawa government 30 days ago notified
the Canadian Pacific officials to be
in readiness for the immediate trans.
p~ortation from Montreal to Vancouver
and Esquimalt $500 men, the contin-
gent consisting of engineers, guides and
deck officers. According to informa-
tion at hand, the road has prepared
for handling 5000 men, five trains be-
ing held in readiness for this service.
The officers included in the first con-
tingent are intended to reinforce the
japanese fleet, which it is said is very
short on engineering talent and deficient
in gunnery. The dispatch adds that "a
secret agreement has been concluded
between Great Britain and Japan by
the terms of which the Russian preten-
sions in Corea are to he overcome, and
Russian ACKNOWLEDGEMENT in Asia per-
manently checked.
Captain Ronald Rolf, R. N, on in
spection service, just returned from the
West and on his way to England via
New York, says, in his opinion, the
force above referred to is destined to in
crease the English forces at the Forts
at Esquimalt and the Pacific squadron.
He declines to discuss the probability
of an imbroglio with Russia, but asserts
that in case of actual hostilities the
British Asiatic squadron is Of efficient
strength to enforce any demands Great
Britain may have to make. He denies
that there is any probability of an
Anglo-Japanese alliance, remarking
that England's combining with a
f~ourth-rate power like Japan would be
a confession of weakness that does not
exist. He asserts with positiveness that
the contingent to be sent West is not
for Japanese reinforcement, but rather
to serve on the fleets in operation
should a naval war be precipitated in
the Orient.
