FOR CUBAN tthlEltUlE A Measure Which Is Expected to Speedily Restore Peace. IT IS AUTONOMY—ALMOST. The Parliament to Be Elected—“Uncle Sam" to Be the Guarantor—Martinez Campos “Till Succeed Weyler and Carry Out the Reforms. NEW YORK, Jan. 29.—Tho Havana cor- respondent of the New York Evening Tele— gram has sent via Key Wes; the following dispatch to his paper: I bani seen an abso- lutely authentic draft of the home rule measure which Spain is about to concede to Cuba. The act provides for a legislative assem- bly wholly elective by an enlarged suffrage and composed of a. senate and lower house. Besides having the sole power to vote an especial budget of the island, this chamber has full power to draw up and control the budget of what may be termed the imperi- al expenses, or the expenses of the army and navy of Spain, in so far as they are . legitimately to be shared by Cuba. This budget of material expenses will be sent to Madrid for the approval of the cortes. With the governor general is vested the power 'to appoint all oiiiciztls to the Cuban government, with the exception of the di- rectors general or collectors of the ports and secretaries general of the governor and civil governors of the provinces, who are. to be selected by popular vote. All officials who shall be appointed by the governor general must be confirmed by the assembly created .by the reform meas— ure in the, same way that federal appoint- ments require confirmation by the senate in the United States. This “deputacion unica, ” or “consejo di administracion,” as the Cuban assem- bly will be called, will have full and ex- clusive power to initiate all money and tariff bills, and no bill of this nature can be presented or considered by the Madrid government until it has been approved by the Cuban assembly. The reform measure was read to Mr. 01- ney, in Washington, last December by Minister de Lome and met his unqualified approval. Some slight changes have been made by the colonial minister and ‘council of state at Madrid since Secretary Olney gave his approval. It is stated, however, that they are unimportant, more of lan- guage than of provision. Uncle Sam as Guarantor. Liberal as these concessions seem, I do not believe the Cubans will accept any agreement to which the United States is not directly or indirectly a party. This guarantee of arrangement is now being sought in the commercial agreement being negotiated at Washington. In this agree- ment Spain clearly recognizes the new autonomous system in Cuba, and any fail- ure to carry out the agreement now or to abrogate it'in future would be a breach of good faith with the United States suffi- cient to justify serious remqnstrance and eventually, if necessary, actual interfer- once. If the terms of this pledge given by Spain to the United States are sufficiently explicit and unmistakable under this in- direct guarantee, the Cubans will accept the reform bill. I can say that I have the authority to give this assurance. Otherwise neither this nor any other agreement, however made, will be accepted. This has been said to me many times during the last few days by the most authoritative leaders in the civil councils of the insurgents and may be regarded as final. The reform bill is doubtless in the mail due here on Feb. 2; also the intimation to General Weylcr that his services are no longer required. The announcement that the queen regent sent for Martinez C' upos and had an au- dience with him w ’luh lasted two hours was greeted here by both parties with en— thusiasm. With Martinez Campos, a liberal auton- omist, and with the permanence of these liberal reforms recognized by the exchange of notes between Madrid and Washington, the island can be completely pacified in a. month. Ruin In \Voyler’s \Vake. General Weyler has reached Colon and may be expected to arrive in Santa Clara shortly. His flying columns have left behind them desolation and ruin. Outside the garrison towns there cannot now be found standing 3. house or even a peasant hut in the Pinar del Rio, Havana and Matanzas provinces. The pacific population is in the greatest distress. Fourteen persons were found in the canefields near Matanzas. They had taken refuge from the soldiery. They were in a starving condition, and three have since died. It is undeniable that such warfare as this will, if permitted to continue, have its certain effect, as in the historic instance of Warsaw. Cuba will be quiet and loyal to the present regime when all her inhabit- ants are dead. The American planters are endeavoring to grind their cane. General Weyler strict- ly forbids it' openlybecause it would at once recognize a state of war and form the basis of claims for damages. But the gen- eral has directed all generals of districts to throw as many obstacles as possible in the way, this after the planters have built forts and supported large plantation garri- sons for a year. _ Rather than execute such orders General Pin, commanding the Cienfuegos district, has thrown up his command. Another Cuban Victory. CINCINNATI, J an. 29.- -A special from Key West says: A Cuban who arrived on the steamship Oli‘vette says that the Spanish guerrilla leader Colonel Rotgcr was terribly beaten on Friday near Rosaries, in the southern part of Havana province. False information that 50 insurgents were near there, wounded and ill, induced him to march there at once with 200 men. Francisco Base, one of Maceo’s men, plan- ned the ruse,, and he lay in wait with 250 men one mile from Melena. Here the road was under a high, rocky hill. Base hid his men at the top. As Rotger’s men marched into this deathtrap they were saluted with a deadly fire of musketry. As the panic stricken Spaniards attempted to escape bowlders rolled down among them, pre-, venting any regular order; of battle. Colo- nel Rotger was wounded. The Cuban says that over 130 dead bodies were counted, including the wounded guerrillas who were killed. Only 10 Cubans were killed. More Skirmishlng Reported. HAVANA, Jan. 29.—Skirmishing~ is again reported in the provinces of Pinar del Rio, Havana, Matanzas and Santiago de Cuba. According to efficial advices re- f ordered a second trial. \ l \ w a a K L Y N, OR WA]. 1-; l’ ceived here, the Spau'sh troops recently captured a number of Cuban camps and destroyed over 200 Lu 5 belonging to the insurgents. ' It is claimed that the Cubans left 29 dead on the field and that 5 of the Cubans were taken prisoners. 'tThirteen soldiers be- longing to the Spanish forces were wound- ed. , Captain General Weyler has left Mango- ito and arrived at jCaimital, near Hana- bana, close to the boundary line between the provinces of Matanzas and Santa Clara. To Investigate Flllbusters. BALTIMORE, Jan. 29. ——A grand jury has been drawn in the United States district court for the purpose of investigating the cases of General Carlos Roloff, secretary of war of the Cuban provisional gr‘"er11- ment, and Dr. Joseph J. Luis, who are charged with fittiifig out and sending from Baltimore a. filibusteriug expedition. The expedition, it is alleged, sailed from Bal- timore, upon the steamer Woodall in July, 1895. JAIL FOR VON BRUSBWITZ. He Gets Three Years and Twenty Days For Stabbing a. Citizen. BERLIN, Jan. .‘38.——The second trial of former Lieutenant von Brusewitz on the charge of stabbing the workman Siepmann at Carlsruhe has just ended in the convic- tion of Von Brusewitz. The court martial found him guilty and sentenced him to 3 years and 20 days in jail. It will be remembered that the kaiset annulled the finding of the first court and The case, sufficiently sensational in it- self, achieved further notoriety by the sup- pression of the play “Morituri” at the Court theater of Carlsruhe in connection with it. Lieutenant Fritzchen, one of the parts of the trilogy, contained allusions to the V on Brusewitz case thinly disguised, which offended the military commander of the town. General von Bulow. He appealed to the grand duke to pro hibit the play. The duke was apparently reluctant, and the general took heroic measures. He forbade his men to go to the theater. That settled it. At the last moment the duke put his foot down, and “Morituri” Was not given. Eon-Senator Rapsher Dead. MAUCH CHUNK, Pa, .Tan. 28.—Ex-Stnte Sepator William M. Rapsher is dead at his home in Lehighton. Two years ago he suffered a stroke of apoplcxy, since which time he had been in feeble health. Mr. Bapsher was born in Northampton coun- ty, this state, in 1843, but was educated at Albion college, Michigan. He was elected to the senate as a Democrat in 1890. Chicago’s Frigid Outlook. CHICAGO, Jan. 28,—The temperature in Chicago registered 2 degrees below zero at noon, 3. drop of 1 degree since 2 a. m., which was the highest point reached dur- ing the night. The signal service holds out little hope for a further moderation, and states that the temperature will prob- ably remain at about the zero mark 1‘01 the rest of the week. Faure to Be Invited to Russia. PARIS, Jan. 28,—It is reported that Count Muravieff, the newly appointed Russian minister of foreign affairs, has been charged to formally invite President Faure to St. Pctersburg and to make ur- rangements for the visit during his ap- proaching stay in Paris.

RIGHTNESS IN PRIGEt y -:Oflice and Factory, Pacific .Street,--‘ STAMFORD, court. , WASHINGTON NEWS. The opening of Congress had one event that George E. Nelson of Indian Territory has not yet forgotten, nor have those who witnessed his discom- fiture at the hands of Speaker Reed. Mr. Nelson is a gold Democrat, and claims admission. to the House as a delegate to represent Indian Territory. As there is no Territorial gpvcrnment, be secured a certificate of election from the Indian agent. "When Nelson, in a pompous way, presented this cer- tificate to Reed the Speaker said: “If it was a certificate from your ' grocer I might consider it.” Senatbr Cameron, who introduceda resolution for the recognition of Cu- ban independence by the United States was asked whether the adoption of such a resolution would lead to war. “Not necessarily,” be answered. “We can extend our good offices in the mat- ter and Spain will have to say whether there is to be any serious trouble about _ it.” . “In case your resolution is adopted, and war with Spain should appear probable, should our Government back up its declaration?” "ll'cll,” he replied, with a laugh, “we ought never to make-a declaration of any sort unless we intend to sustain it. no matter what the outcome is.” Those who oppose the resolution say war would be the certain consequence of adopting it. - The greatest menace to the Treasfiury’ in the coming Congress will be the de- mands of the members who want-pub- lic buildings. Speaker Reed, exercis- ing his influence as a member of the Committee on Rules. of which he is thc’Chziii-nmn, refused in the first ses- sion to consent to a day for the consid- oration of the long list of public build- ing bills reported by the Public Build- ing Committee. At that time there was really greater anxiety on the part of members to secure the passage of such bills than there should be now. Public buildings are used just as pub- lic documents are employed, to culti- vate party activity and pride in the man whose name happens to be con- nected with the receipt of a document or the construction of a new Post Of- fice or Custom Hottee. Something like 200 public—building bills were acted up- ‘ on favorably by the committee.- The reports in each instance make out a fairly plausible t rgument for allowing th expense to be incurred. But Mr. Reed knew from Mr. Cannon, the Chairman of the Appropriations Com- mittee, that the Government could not spare the money to be appropriated for the buildings and he saw that the ap- propriations were not made. What their fate will be in this session re- mains to be seen. One of the things which impresses the visitor to Congress is the change in the Senate Chamber by the introduc- tion into the gallery of the new seating system, with its folding orchestra chairs, which are made interesting to all who visit the galleries by the fact that the legs of each chair are part of the ventilating system of the chamber. The door-keepers will not soon tire of explaining that the tubes that emerge through the fixtures of the seats carry a current of fresh air brought into the building from the slope at the west of the Capitol, that this supply is driven toward 'thc Senate Chamber by whirl- ing fans in the basement. and that by he aid of other fans the vitiatod air in the gallery will be drawn out through the ventilators in the ceiling,r of the Chamber and a perfect exchange of bad air for good constantly maintained. Observing visitors who have been fa- miliar with the building will notice at once that there is a complete elec- trical lighting system installed. and that many of the Old and very elabo- rate chandeliers have been rejected. their places being taken by incandes- cent lights in groups of small lanterns. A matter of more than usual social interest is the recent debut of Miss Vivian Sartoris, eldest daughter of Mrs, Nellie Grant Sartoris and grand- daughter of Mrs. U. S. G rent. The com- ing out reception was given by Mrs. U. S. Grant at her lVashington home and ‘this has been followed by a sue- cession of brilliant entertainments in honor of the debutante especially fitted to shine by reason of her talents and lovable qualities of heart and mind. Miss Sartoris has lived a very quiet life of study .under private tutors. Her mother had decided that the daughter should be educated under her own eye. Her wisdom has been demonstrated in the result. and Miss Vivian Sartoris is one of the most modest and well-in- formed girls in her set. She is a bru- nette. although her hair is a golden- hl'()“'ll tint, as was her mother’s at the same are. Her eyes and brows are dark and her complexion is a rich oliv; . She is of medium height and in- clined. to‘plumpness, and retiring in disposition. “'ith all who meet her, she is a favorite! That her personality will make an impressionain the social - world is assured. 5 Bo'rn in London seventeen years ago. 7 Miss Snrrm-is' will not be eighteen years rold until Spring.
