The Scheme Has Received the Ap-
proval of the Queen Regent.
A SUMMARY OF Pnlovrsrous.
Estrada l‘alma and Quesada of the Cuban
Government Declare That Their
People “Will Accept Nothing
Less Than Independence.
MADRID, Feb. 5.—-Tho queen regent to-
day signed the plan for the reforms in the
island of Cuba. The text of the document
will be published on Saturday.
As already cabled, the Spanish cabinet
recently considered the terms of the scheme
for Cuban reform. They are based on the
bill passed by the certcs, though more lib-
eral concessions are made.
The scheme includes numerous and elab-
orate decrees and will occupy several pages
of The Official Gazette. The full text can-
not be obtaincd at present, but it is under-
stood thnt the reforms consist chiefly in
the creation of an assembly, to be called
the council of administration, composed of
35 members, of whom 21 are to be elected
by the people and 6 by the differ nt cor-
porations. The remainder wil be one
magistrate, one university professor, one
archbishop and five former Senators, or
deputies.
The council of administration is cm-
powered, firstly, to,prcpnre a budget.
Secondly, to examine into the fitness of
. officials appointed.
Thirdly, to make a tariff subject to the
condition of Spanish imports having ad-
vantages over the general tariff.
The governor general will represent the
government and will have the right to'
nominate officials, who should be Cubans
or Spaniards who have resided two years in
Cuba. Nevertheless he may freely nomi-
nate high functionaries, such as magis-
trates, prefects, etc.
Other decrees concern the organization
of the provincial municipalities, which are
to be liberally representative. ,
A Small Concession. ..
The municipal councils general will be
empowered to elect their presidents and
will have exclusive control of public edu-
cation. "
According to another decree, the gov-
ernment reserves to itself extraordinary
powers in the event of any disturbance of
public order, and Cuba. will continue to
elect senators and~deputies to the cortes as
at present.
Altogether the reforms are much broad:
er in decentralization than those granted to
Puerto Rico. The powers of the governor
general are much extended, while the
council of administration is fairly repre—
sentative of all parties and interests.
The Spanish government will continue
to vote budgets and treaties for the col-
onies.
Spanish products, according to the re-
form scheme, willlbe allowed a rebate of
40 per cent from the Cuban tariffs as com-
pared with other imports.
Says Cuba \Vill Not Accept.
NEW YORK. Feb. 5,—Scnor Tomas Es-
trada. Palma, the Cuban delegate, when
interviewed at the office of the junta. to-
day concerning the propounded reforms of
Spain in Cuba, made public the following
statement;
“Had genuine autonomy instead of
sham reforms been offered to the people of
Cuba before they rose in arms, the Cubans
would surely have accepted it, and there-
fore bloodshed and total devastation of the
island would have been averted.
“If the Cuban people did not accept these
sham reforms then and rose in arms for
independence, how would they accept them
now or enter into any kind of compromise
which has not for its basis the absolute
independence of the island? They are sure
of success. And one thing is certain, that
the Cubans‘ never again will place their
necks under the Spanish yoke.
“ They have proved so far that they are
able to conquer the Spaniards and govern
themselves. ” .
This was all that Senor Palma had to
say with regard to the Spanish promises
of reform, but other members of the junta
talked more freely on the subject.
“Spain, ” said one of them, “will never
grant to Cuba. the autonomy that England
gives to Canada. Instead of real auton-
omy, Spain desires to get Cuba again in
its power by means of reforms which are
virtually meaningless. In fact, Cubans
generally do not believe that Spain is capa-
ble of being just, and we do not believe
that Senor Cano’vas and Colonial Minister
Castellano can formulate or devise any re-
form without prejudice or bias. There is
practically no concession in the principal
feature of their sham reforms—namely,
the creation of a local assembly, styled the
council of administration, the members of
which shall be elected in a manner similar
to that in which the Spanish senate is
elected. '
“The scheme of developing the powers
of the governor general is practically mean-
ingless, in that it. makes provision for se-
curing a high protective duty for Spanish
imports. "
“ Inasmuch as the chamber will have con-
trol of local affairs only, and the cortes
will continue to vote the budgets and con-
clude all legislative treaties, no concession
is made by the proposed change. Spain,
however, is in such straits that she will do
anything except give up the island. She
is diplomatic. These sham reforms would
.not have been thought of by the Spanish
government had the country not been in
such a. crisis.
“Were Cuba. now to accept autonomy
from Spain it would be avirtual surrender
on the part of the Cubans. A treaty be-
tween Spain and Cuba must have for its
basis the abgalute independence of the is-
land of Cuba. ”
Cuba \Vlll Not Surrender.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.—Senor Gonzalo do
Quesada, charge d’aflaires of the Cuban
legation, declined today to give his opinion
on the so called reforms proposed for Cuba
by Spain. “Of course,” he said, “the Cu-
bans cannot and will not accept anything
less than independence, and, whatever the
scope of the reforms, the war will not be
affected in the least. The patriots are de-
termined to win or be exterminated. ”
This 10 Funny. _
LONDON, Feb. 5.——A dispatch to The St.
James Gazette from Madrid. published
this afternoon, says that the ohtline of the
Cuban reforms made public have created
ambad impression, being regarded as yield-
ing too much to Cuba. ' .

Young Man \Vho Was Bespectably

The Servant Girl Detained.
BLOOMSBURG, Pa, Feb. 4.—-Clifton
Knorr’s attempt to blow up former Con-
gressman Levi E. Waller’s house with dy-
namite on Sept. 10 last and his confession,
implicating Lawyer Lloyd S. Winterstern,
have been thrown in the shade by a later
statement, in which Knorr admits having
made two attempts to take the life of his
stepmother, and another effort against
Waller.
Knorr says he has been but a tool in the
hands of Winterstern. The county authori-
ties and the counselors employed by Mr.
Waller have been in possession of the facts
for some time, and their investigations
useem to bear out the truth of what Knorr
has told them.
Knorr charges that, while acting under
the directions of the attorney, he not only
put the explosive under Wallcrfs porch,
but had been previously looking for the
occupant of the house with a revolver.
He also says that he tried to put his step-
mother, Mrs. Knorr, out of the way by the
introduction of poison in her tea. and by
placing diphtheria germs about her cloth-
mg.
The details of the dynamite plot have al-
ready been told. After Knorr’s arrest in
Reading on Christmas day he turned state’s
evidence and created a sensation by alleg-
ing that Winterstern, a well known mem-
ber of the Columbia county bar and presi-
dent of two or three industrial concerns,
was the prime factor in the attempt upon
latter’s parents, Mr.’ and Mrs. Charles R.
Buckalew, who formed a part of the Wal-
ler household. Winterstern, he said, had
offered him $5,000 or $6,000 to place the
dynamite beneath the porch and blow up
the house.
It was on the basis of this confession
that both Knorr and Winterstern wore
yesterday indicted by the grand jury or
der seven separate bills, charging them
with several forms of attempts to kill. It
is in his latter confession that Knorr
charges Lawyer Winterstern with complic-
ity in other attempts upon the life of
Waller and of Mrs. Knorr.
The Alleged Plot. _
In Novem ber, 1895, according to the
written statement now in possession of the
prosecuting attorney, Winterstern first
broached the subject of disposing of Mr.
Waller. He gave Knorr $10 and told him
to go to a neighboring town, where he was
to purchase a revolver. Then he was to
return to Bloomsburg, lie in wait for Wal-
ler‘and shoot him as he passed from his
house "to his ofilce, about four squares
awiy. Clifton says he took the money,
purchased the weapon and followed out the
directions to the letter until he discovered
that Waller was (fit of town.
Mr. Waller happened to be away for a
few weeks with his family, having gone
south to visit the Atlanta exposition.
The confession then goes on to state that
the next attmpt was upon the life of Mrs.
Knorr in December of 1895, when Clifton,
at the instigation of Winterstern, pur-
chased a. certain poison to give his step-
mother. Hc was at that time living at
her home, 16 East Fifth street, directly 0p-
posite the Waller residence. .
On two occasions he put into her teacup
a. sufficient quantity of the drug to kill
her, but each time it was removed by the
servant girl, Dora. Moharter, who found it
before the cup was used and threw it
away.
Upon the failure of this plot Clifton, ac-
cording to his confession, reported to Win?
terstern, and in January, 1896, the latter
suggested sending to New York for diph-
theria germs, which were to be introduced
around the house in such a. manner that
Mrs. Knorr could not fail to contract the
disease.
Diphtheria Germl Secured. . *-
Knorr says that Winterstern gave him -
the money and directions, whereupon he
sent a letter to a person in New. York,
whose name is withheld for the present,
ordering what he wanted. .
The real use he expected to make of the
germs was of course not stated, and, upon
forwarding the money to pay for it. the
package containing the bacilli was shipped.
It arrived in due time, but Clifton had dis-
covered in the meantime that the contents
could not be used as was first intended. It
would be necessary to inoculate Mrs.
Knorr in order to make her contract diph-
theria, and ‘8) do that without her knowl-
edge would bc an impossibility.
The germs were nevertheless spread
around the house and all over Mrs. Knorr‘s
clothing by her stepson. As had been ex-
pected, they did not take effect.
That part of Knorr’s confession which
relates to his efforts to poison his step-
mother is substantiated by Dora Moharter,
the servant girl, who has been in the em-
ploy of the Knorr family for nine years,
and who is now in Bloomsburg awaiting
a call as a. Witness at the dynamite plot trial
in case it should proceed. She will swear
that in December. 1895, she discovered in
Mrs. Knorr’s cup,before pouring the tea in-
to‘ it at supper, a. white powder, which she
threw out, without examining it closely.

gives energy to the blood-making organs
to create new blood, full of healthy red

Eugene Field I
Another story of rthe late Eugene
Field's rirrortrrcsslble love of joking
from the “Youth’s Companion.” He
and his wife had entered a street car,
to find all the seats taken save one at
each end of the car, and they seeded
i‘hl‘lllSthC-ES accordingly.
Winn the conductor collected the ‘
fur-rs Mr. Field announced in audible
tones, as he gave him a dime, at the
some time pointing to the for end of
the car: “This is to pay the fare of
the lady over there—the one'wearing
the new, beautiful, brown silk dress.“
All eyes were turned to her, and her
pretty face took a most: becoming
rose color, but back of the reproving
glances she threw him was one of
mingled indulgence, appreciation and
mirth rrt the unexpected and apps"-
ently truthful announcement.

Had No Use For It. '
He told the shop assistant that he
wanted to purchase something that
would be a suitable present for :1
young ludY.
The clerk brought out albums.
books. gold pens and pencils. and
card cases, but nothing sccmd to suit.
As a lust resort he showed the young
man an engagement calendar, :1 beau—
tiful little tablet on which to record
the engagements for each day of the
work. I
“Quite a fad now,” he explained, as
he displayed the calendar. “All the
young ladies feel the need of them,
especially during the season.”
"What is it?" asked the young man.
"An engagement calendar." relied
the shop assistant. “She'll lllld it in-
valuable"~
“l’eu think she would like one?”
asked the young man with u. forced
calmness.
“I’m sure. she would, if she hasn't
one already." said the assistant
“Well, I want to say to sou that
she wouldn‘t,” exclaimed the young
man, losing control of his temper. “I
know her, and you don’t, and I want
you to understand, sir, that she has
no use for any such calendur.. She
doesn't have to keep records of her
engagements. 'This is the only time
that she has ever been engaged, and
any man who says that she will ever
be engaged to any one else or that she
has to put it down on a tablet to re-
member if, has got to fight me. That's
all there is to that.”
He had left the shop before the as-
sistant had sufficiently recovered from
his surprise to explain.
How to Blake Bananas Harmless.
The banana yields more food to the
acre than any other plant, and yet it
disagrees with no end of northern
stomachs. This is because we eat» it
the wrong way. But the wife of a
missionary to the tropics tells the glad
tidings from heathen shores of how
to eat a banana. When you have strip-
ped off the willing rind, just scrape
off the stringy and hairy coat that
lies beneath the rind, and you may
eat your banana without tasting it all
the rest of the day.
