GEN. BLANCO OUTWITTED. The Cuban Junta: Meets His Guile with Guile. New York, Dec. 16.———The whole scheme of autonomy proposed by Spain in the island of Cuba is likely to be completely upset and rendered abortive so far as its effect on public sentiment in this country is concerned by a shrewd move made by the Cuban Junta, whose headquarters are in this city. It is a play on the chcssboard equal to any move made by these mas- ters in diplomacy and delay who rep- resent the Government of Spain in the United States. As already indicated in these dis— patches, the policy of conciliation in~ stituted by Gen. Blanco to take the place of the barbaric methods of Wey- ler has been extended to the refugee Cubans who fled to New York to escape death or transportation, which was to have been their portion under the for— mer regime. A decree of amnesty has been promulgated which guarantees to all political‘ offenders immunity for themselves and their families, perfect safety if they return, and full forgive: ness for all past offenses. This was the gist of a cable dispatch sent Tuesday from Gen. Blanco t'o Senor Dupuy de Lorne, the Spanish Minister. It is the open and public declaration of the present Captain-General, and only to tho;-:e who can read between the lines is its full significance apparent. livery Cuban refugee in the United Stites to-day—that is to say, every nun of any importance in the revolu— t‘ inary movement—has been privately afered a political place at a high sal« try as an inducement to return to Cuba and exert as a civil officer a moral ef- fect on the insurgents in the field. These offices include the Alcalde, or Mayor, the chiefs of the Bureau of Ad- ministration, of Public Works and Im— provements and hundreds of smaller but proportionately profitable offices. All these have been promised to the autonomists, and negotiations have about been concluded. If carried into effect, as arranged, the backbone of the revolution would be broken in three months, as the fighters ,in the field could not stand out against the power- ful influence that would be exerted by their own countrymen. From a source known to be trust- worthy, the checkmate to this move has been learned. The \Cubans who have accepted the propositions, osten— sibly as autonomists, are secretly agents of the revolutionary party se- lected by the New York Junta to pose as public servants in responsible civil and semi—military positons in Havana and other provinces, and holding that extraordinary advantage to aid the in- surgents with information and supplies. A prominent Cuban, who is familiar with the many plays that are now rap— idly following each other in the strug- gle between Spain and her rebellious colony. says that the Spaniards had discovered the Cuban scheme within the last twenty-four hours. “It makes no difference," he said, “because Gen. Blanco will now realize that he has been outwitted. He will be afraid to bestow any of these offices now, for fear of scratching an autonomist and finding a revolutionist. It must result in a recasting of his whole policy. The Cuban plans were well laid, and if the agents of the Junta. had gotten in we would have driven the Spaniards out of the city of Havana within a month." Sunguily to Fight. Philadelphia, Dec. 16.—Gen. Julio Sanguily, instead of being a traitor to Cuba's cause, as recent reports from ‘Ha’vana would indicate, intends to re- turn to the island at once, in obedience to the command of his chief, Gen. Max- imo Gomez. This statement is made upon the au- thority of a Phi'adeiphia Cuban who stands high among the members of the "Junta in this country. Gen. Sanguiiy is in Washington. where he expects to remain several days. It is stated that the purpose of Sanguily's visit ,to Washington is to make a personal call upon Secretary of State Sherman and formally re- nounce his American citizenship. ' Gen. Blanco Denies It. Havana, Cuba, Dec. Iii—Captain- Gencrai Blanco denies positively that he has had any communication what- ever with Juiio Sanguiiy, who, it was reported. had tendered; his services un- conditionally to the Spaflsh authorities in Cuba. v J A Giant Hotel for New York. New York, Dec. 16.—A new hotel. larger by far than the VValdorf-Astoria. is projected. It will be the largest in the world and will cover the block bounded by Park and Madison avenues and Forty-first and Forty-second streets. The plans are in the hands of Bruce Price. an architect, and a syn,— dicate of capitalists will provide the money for the building- Their aim is tom'ake the neighborhood of the Grand Central Station the most businesslike portion of the city. It is said that both the Astor and Vanderbilt families are interested in the movement, and that the appointments of the new hotel will be as fine as those of the VValdorf-As- toria. \Vorks of Art Destroyed. Somerville, N. J., Dec. 16.-—The hand» some Summer home of former State:- Senator William}. Keys was burned to the ground last night. It contained many valuable oil paintings and othei works of art.

Italy Denies Threatening Haytl. Rome. Italy, Dec. 16.—It is semi-offi- cially announced here that the Italiar Government hasnever thought of send- ing ironclads to Hayti.

A Liquid Remedy ThaI Vlill Beach at Once the Seal of the Disease is an Absolute Necessity. Catarrh. Leads to indigestion. in somnla, Nervous Disorders. Consumption and Many Other Diseases. CALIFORNIA CATABBH CURE Relieves at once and Quickly Cures When all Other Remedies or Treatment Fail, all Froms of Nasal Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness, Colds, Bron- c h iti 5, Ton sllltls.‘. Hoarseness. Etc. DIIIIES GOLD II THE HEAD [IVER IIGIIT. There is a right way to do all things. Every sufi‘erer from catarrh should know that it is impossible to cure the disease without using a remedy, that. goes at once to the seat of the trouble; and that medicines taken internally or by ihhailing air into the passages of the head do not cure, the fact that the patient is all the time growing worse is proof that the treatment is all wrong. Many that have been under treatment for years and met with disappointment instead of benefit are willing to doubt that there is any cure for catarrh." The trouble is that all of the treat- ment they have received has been mis‘ directed, and has not touched their trouble. Catarrh is a local disease, and a remedy is needed, but it must be good one, which goes down to the very bottom of the trouble and forces it out; therefore ointments, air inhalants, in fact. nothing, except California Catarrh Cure, can have any effect upon catarrh, for it is the only CURE which goes di- rect to the seat of the disease and per- manently gets rid of it. This is the only reasonable way to treat catarrh. California Catarrh Uure has never failed if used as directed to cure ca- tarrh in all its forms. It has not even a competitor worthy of the name. For all inflamed and catarrhal conditions of the mucous membrane, viz., nasal catarrh, colds, bronchitis, tonsilitis, hoarscness, ctc., use C. C. C. freely to inhale, as a spray, douche or gargle. Are you willing to spend 500 or $1 for a cure that permanently cures catarrh by removing the cause of the disease ‘3 If so, give California- Catarrh a trial. Suii'er no longer; doubt no more; get.

A QUICK R‘EToRT OF DRICHALMERS. His Host's Manner Didn't Squelcli His Desire to Tell a Good Story. The New York Observer tells this story of the great Dr. Chalmers: “Lady Betty Cunningham, having had some difference of opinion with the parish minister, instead of putting her usual contribution in the collection plate, merely gave a. stately how. This hav— ing occurred several Sundays in suc- cession, the elder in charge of the plate at last lost patience and blurted out: “ ‘We cud dae wi’ less 0’ yer man- ners and mair o' yer siller, ma leddy.’ "Dining on one occasionat the house of a nobleman, Dr. Chalmers happened to repeat the anecdote, whereupon the hast, in a not-over-well-pieased tone, said: “ ‘Are you aware, Dr. Chalmers, that Lady Betty is a. relative of mine?’ “ ‘I was not aware, my lord,’ replied the doctor, ‘but, with your permission, I shall mention the fact the next time i tell the story." Loo‘obn in-Mof'n-lo. Mother—Now, Willy, you told me a falsehood. Do you know what hap- pens to little boys who tell falsehoods? Willy (sheepishiy)—No! Mother—Why, a big black man with only one eye in the center of his fore- head comes along‘and flies with him up to the moon and makes him pick sticks for the balance of his life.
