y -- dlUliCR Y PKiUSS: JANUARY 21, 1837 AUTONOMY FOJ? CUBA. Spu r Act-pf President Cleveland's Pro posal lor Sft!f-ifnt of the Cuban Qu tioiiimai aa Stealings of YVeylftj and Other Officers in Cuba. Madiiii, January 11. Spain has at iist coiicl fultd that all her efforts to suppre.-;. or t v n to make any impres sion upon, tLe Cuban insurrection are futile and unless. Appreciating this fact, which has been patent to all other nations for nearly six months Prime Minister Can ovas del Castillo has definitely accept ed Secretary of State Olney's pro tier of American intervention, as well as the terms which His Excellency Pres ident Cleveland and Mr. Olney pre scribed as the price for their interfer ence and the use of their prerogatives in attempting to bring about a state of peace in the island of Cuba. Following the i -fusal of the Ameri can secretary of tate to accept, so far aa America wa.. concerned, the plan of the Spanish prime minister for a res toration of Spanish rule in Cuba, Mr. Olney, through the usual-official chan nels, submitted in full to Senor Cano. vas the term.- for a peace with Cuba upon which the administration of President Clfv-I.-md was , prepared to intervene and i;mc it?, efforts to bring about a settlement between Spain and its colony. The conditions, I am- able to state upon the highest authority, mean per fect and complete autonomy for Cuba. 1 am unable to transmit now an au tentic copy of the correspondence on the subject between the United States itnd Spain, through Secretary Olney and the Spanish minister to the United States, Dupuy de Lome. I can state," with absolute knowledge o: the facin, however, that they pro vide for home rule for Cuba as thor ough as Canada, under the British JS'orth America act, enjoys. In brief 1 1 f-y are: Cuba to govern herself. To collect all taxes. To disburse all public moneys, Spain ,to be debarred from all share in the revenues of the islandd arid all inter te renee, in elections held on the islaud. In fact, the scheme went to the ex treme point of empowering Cuba to levy a tariff in her own favor against exports from Spain sent to the island. The Cuban attitude toward Spain was to be entirely one of independence, ex cept on the one matter that Cuba was to remain in name a Spanish province. The Cleveland administration prom ised, however, that if these terms were agreed to by Spain, and she would put Cuba on as strong footing toward Spain as Canada has toward England, it would attempt to bring about a money remuneration to Spain for this practical loss of the island. If in ne gotiating a peace Secretary Olney could induce t;he Cubans to pay Spain a sum something in the neighborhood oi a hundred millions, it would be lone. This might be brought about by a Cuban bond issue,and the United States would, in a fashion, stand spon sor for the bonds. But nothing de m.iie was proposed in this direction. It "was simply indicated that in event oi -Spain a ceepiauee, the best that could be accomplished in this direc tion would be done. "J The Spanish government has noti fied Minister Iupuy de Lome that it would accept Mr. Olney's proposition. The minister was instructed to so in form the American secretary of state, and he has cabled the authorities here that he has done so. He does not make clear, nor does it appear from anything which has come to this capi tal fiom Secretary Olney, just how the Cleveland administration intends to ioicc ihee terms on the insurgents. General tioiuez himself said that noth ing but absolute separation of Cuba from Spain would be agreed to by hrtn. With this unyielding attitude on the part of the general-in chief of 'the insurgents it is .difficult, from here, at least, to see how President Cleveland will enfoie these terms oi Cuba. The Spanish government, however, leaves that entirely to him; It is the Ameri can proposition, 'Premier Caiiovas argue, paiu on her part agrees to it, and Spain now leans back and t-. pects Auu rica to carry it out. Within the next two weeks the Mar- 9 tpiis ut Apezieguia is looked 'or in Madrid. He is the head of the consti tutional party in Cuba: h:us from first to last adhered to Spain, and is umt earnest in his vih to have the iiisiir reetion stamped out. It is averted here on the authority ot a -letter from Marquis Apezteguia that Wey'er has already since going to Havana deposited to his own private account in a Madrid bank, over $425, OoO as his share of Cuban loot. Thf marquis also claims that subordinates n '" Veyler pillage and rob in all directions; that the customs officers are engaged in embezzling the Spanish revenues, and that at the they are going on they will uever put down the insurrection, but on the other hand, will rob the island to the last dollar. Dupuy de Lome, he says, is in-. cient and of no official consequence at Washington; that he h spending mounds of money, fully V).COO a month beyond the ordinary eyi-ust of the legatiou, and that he accom plishes no good. He will therefore insist on the recall of both these men. but it is not understood that he will make any suggestions as to whom shall fill their places. Just how much disturbance the mar quis can create when he gets here is a question. There is no doubt, however of his very high standing with Cano ,vas and the Spanish government gen erally. The news of his coming has therefore greatly alarmed the friends of both Weyleraud Dupuy de Lome. New York Journal. BAYARD. So Banded By Hit Own Egotism Tht Me Wont See. Nothing so blinds a man to the true view of things as aoism. Mr. Bayard cannot or will not see the point of the criticisms upon him. It is not because he is friendly to England that he is censured. It is because he has mani fested his friendship in a clumsy way, because he has been effusive, undigni fied, undiplomatic and un-American in his tone and method. 11 hs Ve-n laughed at in England, and it does not promote the amity of nations whn an Ambassador of one nation supplies too much cause for ridicule to the other nation. Another fact might open Mr. Bay ard's eyes if anything could open them He has long been Ambassador only in name. The President, who is his per sonal friend, had to withdraw his con fidence from him. No important nego tiation has been intrusted to him for a long time. Even the knowledge of important negotatious going on over his head has been kept for him. We .believe it to be the fact than when he went to the Guild Hall banquet, at which" Lord Salisburg aunounced the Venezuela agreement, Mr. Bayard did not know that an agreement had been reached. There could be no harsher censure on him than that. Quet-n cf the Fakers. New York Run. Mrs. Sarah Sanders, widow of Na than Sanders, who was known all over the country as "the King of the Fakers1 died of typhoid on Tuesday night, Sanders died about 18 months ago. They w ere an interesting couple. Nathan started in life as a faker and traveled from the Atlantic to the Pa cific a dozen times selling his wares. He accumulated considerable money, part of which he invested in a barber shop in this city. The barber shop didn't pay, so Sanders went back to faking. Ten years ago he opened a peddlers' supply store at the corner of Ann street and Theater alley. Later he opened a brand; on Leonard street, and about five years ago became the head of a syndicate which was formed to supply fakers -with wares, and had branches in Philadelphia, Chicago and Francisco. He became known there as the King of Fakers, and when he died he left $30,000. Mrs. Sanders married the King after he had estab lished himself in business here. She became known as the Queen of Fa kers, and after her husband's death carried on the business successfully. Monkey Meat. New York T-l "frraiu.
