WISEMAN'S LAND Bt RBAU, 236 W. First st 6 (For additional eUMlflod »«o Two ■ THE HERALD HOME RULE FOR CUBA Is the Policy of Spanish Liberals WEYLER WILL BE RECALLED AND CAMPOS AGAIN PLACED IN COMMAND i United States Friendship Is Very- Much Desired, But No Interfer ence Will Be Tolerated » Associated Press Special Wire. NEW TORK, June 6.—The World this morning prints a dispatch from Madrid giving an Interview with Senor Sagasta, leader of the Spanish Liberals. "We would be more liberal in every sense than the Conservative party can afford to be," said Senor Sagasta. "We would not hesitate to go much further than Senor Canovas has gone In the w ay of a home rule policy for the West In dies, in order to insure the loyalty and friendship of the colonies there. "Our policy would entail a change in the supreme direction of Cuban affairs, of course. The removal of General Wey ler would be Immediate, and the present policy of excessive severity and repres sion would be abandoned, for that sys tem is not calculated to Improve the prospects of pacification, which we earn estly desire. "In regard to the relations between Spain and the United States, I am not acquainted' with what has passed re cently between the Spanish and Ameri can governments. I have no reason to suppose that international considera tions or pressure Influenced the decision of Canovas .to resign. The Liberal party wishes to maintain and improve the cordial relations with the United States, and hopes its colonial policy would help to do so. "But neither the Liberal party nor any Spanish party could tolerate any ques tion, of Infringing on the rights of Spain or of employing the interference of for eign powers in her relations with her colonies. "True Liberal party would be as zealous as the Conservative party in the defense of supremacy of Spain in Cuba and Porto Rico." By order of the queen Marshal Cam pos has returned from Catalonia, where he had gone foe a brief holiday. The queen wished- to! consult "him regarding the solution of the crisis. His opinion and those of Marshals Lopez, Domtnguez and Blanco are likely to have a decisive influence. All three make no secret of their opinion that the recall of Weyler is expedient, both for the pacification of Cuba and for international consldera- tlons. It is a singular feature of the pres ent crisis that the queen's chief concern has been, to know the opinion of all the statesmen consulted on the advisability of the recall of Weyler, and whether a change of policy in Cuba and the grant ing of home rule would be most likely to hasten the termination ot the war. The whole drlftof the Intervlewsof the queen with Marshals Campos, Blanco, Lopez and Dominguez, and with Senors Padazes and Sagasta shows that all are unanimous in considering the formation of a new government to have well de fined, concrete plans for carrying out Cuban home rule, and for endeavoring to strengthen* the cordial relations wjth the United States, and all believe that the indispensable preliminary step to this is the appointment of a new govern ment, with a governor-general who would Inspire foreign, countries and the Spanish colonies with confidence in the sincerity of Spanish colonial policy. All the genera!? and statesmen, when ap proving the queen, are much struck by her anxiety and earnestness in seeking a solution giving the most promise of a permanent pacification of the colonies and an honorable, friendly understand ing with the United States. RECALL CERTAIN NEW YORK. June fx—A special to the Journal from Madrid say©: The recall of Captain-General Weyler from Cuba is almost certain, as the Liberals have de cided to take this stand tf Senor Sagasta assumes office. Senor Pldal, President of the Cortes, today advi««d the Queer Regent to re-form the Conservative Cabinet in the direction of honestly im planting reforms in Cuba, removing Weyler and sending Campos to the island. Campos has advised the Queen not to form an intermediate Cabinet, but to trust the government to the party which offers the best and most definite solution for Cuba and the policy most calculated to secure good relations with the United States, while being consistent with na tional dignity. In addition, according to the Corres pondencia de Espana, he advised the Queen to recall Weyler. QUEEN REGENT'S HAND A special to the World- from Madrid says: It Is established almost beyond a doubt that the Ministerial crisis was caused by the Queen Regent, she hintlug to Senor Canovas In the most delicate manner possible that the abstention of minorities from Parliament was dis pleasing to her. No other explanation fits 'in with Senor Canovas offering his resignation at such a critical moment in national affairs-, and this is addition ally borne out by hs tendering his resig nation precipitately, to doubt in reply to the Queen's remark, and without con sulting the other Ministers, so that for hours they knew nothing of the proffered resignation. Meanwhile the same state of Minis terial ar archy continue*. The American pi ess comment's on the crisis are watohed v>itr morbid anxii'ty. i a' Cuban policy Is now ine-tenths of Madrid to - since the Spanish press .-*( tally disseminating .the , : . state of the, Cuban cam ■ < - the orash has come, r uigent t> still consulting LOS ANGELES, SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 6, 1897 the party leaders. The popular feeling more and more favors the Liberals com ing in. A NEW TREATY A special to the Herald from Washing ton says: A convention relative to the naturalization of the citizens of the United States and Spain 19 un der consideration by Secretary of State Sherman. It was prepared by the government of Spain and was submitted through the Spanish legation'at Wash ington soon after the McKinley admin istration came into office. Unusual ef forts have bene made to keep the matter secret, and It was hoped that nothing in connection with it would become pub lic until after adjournment of Congress. Secretary Sherman has expressed his ap proval of the project, and the treaty has received favorable action from the Pres ident. The question of a new naturalization treaty was discussed by Secretary Olney and the Spanish Minister In connection with a treaty of commerce. Secretary Olney fully approved the plan, but for motives of expedience decided to post pone the subject. There was no dis agreement between Mr. Olney and the Spanish Minister as to the merits of the question, but the former thought it best to defer the policy and wait awhile. No naturalisation treaty was actually sub mitted, only the general points of one dis cussed. One treaty 1b Intended to do a way with the perplexing points that arise be tween the two countries over the citi zenship. Consul-General Williams, Gen eral Lee's predecossor In Havana, strongly advised such a convention. Submitted to the Sultan for His Consideration CONSTANTINOPLE, June 5.—A con ference of two hours was held today be tween the powers and Tewflk Pasha. Turkish minister of foreign affairs, at which the memoranda relative to the rectification of the frontier, to the capitu lations In the case of Greek subjection in Turkey and to indemnity, proposed respectively by Count Nedlloff, the Rus sian Ambassador; M. Cambon, the French Ambassador, and Sir Philip Cur rle, the British Ambassador, were pres ent. The memoranda will be submitted to the sultan for his consideration. SEA ARMISTICE SIGNED. ATHENS, June s.—The sea armistice was signed today by Turkish and Greek delegates. Queen Olga and Crown Princess So phia arrived at Agniapruna today on their return Journey to Athens from the headquarters of the Crown Prince Con stantine. They visited the camp of 200 Greek soldiers and the queen addressed words of consolation to refugees and urged them to return.to their homes. BRYAN'S ITINERARY Will Include All of California's Larg- est Cities SAN FRANCISCO, June 6.—The Bryan reception committee today met to make final arrangements for the recep tion of the distinguished statesman on hit arrival in California. Mr. Bryan will arrive in Sacramento on the morning of the 3rd of July, and will address the people of that place, and will then go south, visiting all the large townE.

H. Webster's rooms In the boys' dormitory at the Washington Agricultural college Thursday night about 11 o'clock. Plastering and glass was thrown over every room on the first floor and general havoc created. The bomb consisted of a piece of an iron bedstead leg about eighteen Inches long, which was plugged up at one end, a stick of dynamite encased therein and throughly packed with a long fuse attached. Walter P. Miller, a student from Port Angeles, who Is suspected ot the outrage, has been ex pelled. A Prisoner's Suicide LAPORTE, Ind„ June 6.—Charles Plr.kerton, in Jail here on a charge of murdering his son-in-law, cut his throat with a piece of steel taken from th* sole of his shoe and whetted to an edge on the floor of his cell. Plnkerton was afterwards brought Into court on a stretcher in a semi-con scious condition and the case was con tinued for two weeks to await the out sonu of his injuries. PEACE TERMS "OUR STEVE" IS READY INDEFINITE APPEALS TO SAVE DURRANT FROM THE GALLOWS Under the Law New Applications May Be Made Month After Month Forever SAN FRANCISCO, June s.—Warden Hale will apply today to Attorney-Gen- eral Fitzgerald for the latter's opinion on the abvisability of hanging Durrant on June 11th. The fast that the warden removed Durrant yesterday from the condemned cell Is a clear indication that he has anticipated the result. Durrant's attorneys contend that they may con tinue to appeal indefinitely to the United States Supreme Court from all sen tences against their client and thus pre vent the execution of the Judgment against him. In making the assertion they anticipate that the Judge who may pronounce the third sentence will fix the day of death at least 60 days from the date on which sentence Is pro nounced. This interval would give ample time to perfect an appeal, and the law yers hold that they may thus prolong Durrant's life as long as section 766 of the revised statutes of the United States remains as the law of the land. Much speculation Is being indulged In by local attorneys as to the probable outcome of the appeal taken to the su preme court of the United States. It Is generally conceded that should the su preme court hold that the circuit court erred In not granting the application for a writ of habeas corpus, the petition of each murderer will be heard upon its merits. Should the writs be denied on the merits of the petitions, other appeals may be taken upon other points not now Involved in the petitions, and where the matter will end Is a, matter of con jecture. • FITZGERALD'S ADVICE SAN QUENTIN PRISON, June 5.— Warden Hale had a conference today with Attorney-General Fitzgerald re garding the Durrant ease. In speaking of the matter Mr. Hale said: The at torney-general advised me not to exe cute Durrant on the day fixed and said he would give me a written opinion in the matter in a few days. It is now positively decided that Durrant will not be executed on June 11. lam informed that it will be necessary for me to per sonally go to Washington and Mr. Fitz gerald will accompany me as my attor ney. The prisoner will not leave the prison. I hold that the United States authorities cannot take Durrant from my custody pending his hearing. I shall abide by the opinion of the attorney general in all matters pertaining to this case. He is my legal adviser and I will not disobey his orders."

SUNRISE AT SEA The Latest Thing in the Runaway Marriage Line SAN FRANCISCO, J- ne 5.—A wed ding at sea and at sunrise is the latest thing in runaway marriages. The fash ion was started this morning on the steamer Eureka by Percy S. Swift, a Xgung man of Santa Cruz, and Miss Rose Hammond. The young lady is the daughter of a wealthy ranch owner of Tulare county, who, with her parents, was spending the summer at Santa Cruz.

SOUTHERN SENATORS Take a Hand in the Tariff Debate AN AMPLE REVENUE IS NEEDED BTJT NOT A TAX TO PATTEN THE TBUSTS The Bill Advanced as Par as the Sugar Schedule, Which Promises Slow Progress Associated Press Special Wire. WASHINGTON, June s.—ln the Sen ate this afternoon, Bacon, Democrat of Georgia, made a vigorous response to the attack of Vest on the lumber sched ule, especially that which the Missouri Senator had characterized as the most indefensible part of the bill. Bacon re sented the characterization as unjust, saying the average rate of the schedule was only 20 per cent and that he would support it. Bacon' argued against the imposition, of taxes on. unfinished products and not on raw material. He* tel\ intc ai colloquy with Vest, in the course of which he contended, that he had not abandoned the Democratic principles of a revenue duty and equality of taxation, and pointed to Vest's participation in fram ing the, Wilson bill, which led' Vest to decline responsibility for a measure framed under duress. Clay, Democrat, of Georgia, in hia maiden speech in the senate, decid ed against free trade and for a tariff sufficient for an economically adminis tered government. He denounced, the senate bill sugar schedule as increasing the cost of sugar $1.20 per hundred to the consumer for the benefit of the trust —the scandal of the nation. Hi also attacked the tea tax, and said the senate bill would increase taxation $92, --000,000 on sugar, tea, wool andl beer.whila the farming interests were neglected. The financial and not the tariff question was the issue of the last campaign. Hale, Republican, of Maine, objected to the request of Pettlgrew to let the Vest amendment stand, omitting white pine. Paragraph 205 was agreed to, Thla concluded the wood schedule, and 1 tho bill was laid 1 aside. AX 4:15 p. m. the senate held a brief executive session and then adjourned. When the senate laid aside the tariff bill tonight it had reached' the sugar schedule, which has been the subject of so much Interest and. conflict. During the day many of the paragraphs of the wood schedule had been agreed to, but that restoring lumber to the dutiable list at S2 per 1000 feet provided the great est stumbling block encountered since the debate began.
