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

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.

French Ambassador, and Sir Philip Cur
rle, the British Ambassador, were pres
ent. The memoranda will be submitted

SEA ARMISTICE SIGNED.
ATHENS, June s.—The sea armistice

phia arrived at Agniapruna today on
their return Journey to Athens from the
headquarters of the Crown Prince Con

est Cities

cided upon, but he will doubtless take in

A Student Dynamiter
SPOKANE, June 5.—A special to the
Spokesman-Review from Pullman, Wash.,
says: A dynamite boom was exploded at
the door of Prof. S. 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

A Prisoner's Suicide

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

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."

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.
The couple boarded the steamer about
1 oelock at Santa Cruz, just as the ves
sel was casting her lines oft from the
dock and applied at the purser's office
for rooms. Swift approached Captain
Parsons, the vessel's master, and at
once commenced negotiations for the
performance of the marriage ceremony.
Rev. A.A. McLeod was on the steamer,
bound for San Francisco, and theyoung
fellow was asked if the services of the
parson would not suit him better. Swift
declined, and replied that If he was to be
married at sea he wanted it done in a
proper sea manner. Captain Parsons
Anally agreed to perform the ceremony,
and the steamer was headed out beyond
the three-mile limit, where the cere
mony was performed.

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. It led to an extended
debate, during which a wide divergence
of views was developed on the Demo
cratic side of the chamber.
