Autonomy to Be Granted in Case Cuba Will Assume the War Debt* No Customs Union With Uncle I Sam—Fight If Necessary. Sagasta's Talk. LONBOIT, Oct. 6.—A special dispatch from Madrid gives the substance of an interview between a newspaper corre indent and an unnamed member of jj new Spanish cabinet. The latter is *.:oted as saying that Senor Sagasta will carry cut the Cuban reforms pro posed by Marshal Martinez de Campos 10 yearB ago. These include the grant ing of autonomy to Cuba on condition that she take over the Cuban debt, in cluding the war debt, and accept Spain's customs tariff. Continuing, the new cabinet minister is said to have declared that Premier Sagasta would not consent to a customs union between the United States and Cuba, and that if the former were not satisfied Spain was prepared to fight, as the Spanish navy was Regarded as equal in strength to the navy of the United States. Further, if necessary, Spain, accord ing to the cabinet minister, would have recourse to privateering. In conclusion, the new minister is al leged to have said that it was improba ble that Spain would consent to recog nize the insurgent debt, but Premier Sagasta would not prevent the now Cu ban government dealing with it. POLICY OF SAGASTA. New Spanish Minister Outlines Course as to Cuba. NEW YOKK, Oct. 5.—A dispatch to The World from Madrid says: The World correspondent called on Premier Sagasta, who said in response to queries: "You ask me ii the Liberal party would assent to mediation by the United States with a view to has tening the pacification of Cuba and in during the rebels in arms and the exiles to accept autonomy. Why should we need mediation when our intentions long and often expressed by the Liberal party—aim at realizing all that America could suggest? "No Spanish party, certainly not the Liberals, could assent to foreign inter ierence in our domestic affairs or with our colonies. No government could hope to induce the nation to ac cept such interference. "If America, as we firmly believe and hepe, is disposed to be sincerely friend ly with us, let her enforce the rules of internation law and stop the flow of' Moral mul Material Aid. without which the insurrection could iot last six months. Wo shall reverse completely the policy of tho last two years in Cuba, beginning, naturally, with the recall of Weyler. "I informed the queen that the Lib eral party would accept the responsi bilities of offico most willingly if her majesty honored the party with her confidence that the Liberal party had plans for all the leading questions of the day in Spain, and certainly would grant to Cuba autonomy along the lines traced in the progremme of the Cuban autonomists themselves. "The Literal party is prepared to grant to Cuba all possible self-govern ment, a broad tariff and every conces sion compatible with inflexible defense of Spanish rule and sovereignty in the West Indies. We believe this will sat isfy the majority of the Cubans' and we will act thus spontaneously." POLICY WAS TOO RIGOROUS. Queen Hm Long Disapproved of the Con servative Administration. LONDON. Oct, 5.—Tho Madrid corre spondent of The Standard says: The queen regent took a strong initiative during the crisis and profoundly sur prised General Azcarraga by leaving no alternative but resignation. She frankly expressed her disapproval of the £6ii8Kyativ4 adtt^nifttatitin, es pecially In its treatment of the anarch- Slie said she had allowed Senor Cauo vas to remain iu office in the hope that he would modify the rigor of his re pressive policy in Cuba and that she had repeatedly called the attention of ministers to administrative scandals and abases. Moreover, her majesty said she Walled Patiently for Two Months after the death of Scuor Canovas in the hope that the new government would correct these evils. On its failure to do so she took it upon herself to consult General Campos, Senor Silvela and others as to the best means of pacifying Cuba by an endeavor to satisfy the au* tonomists and thus virtually to steal a march on American diplomacy. All the statesmen whom she con sulted appear to have advised a Liberal I ibinet as the best means of attaining the queen's wishes. Thereupon her majesty thanked General Azcarraga for his splendid services as minister of war and intimated her intention to appoint 6enor Sagasta as president of the council. FEAR If that Spain has yet another revolution to go through, perhaps the most terri ble of all. MIHXUTE THE MECCA. Ilenty of Food There for Alaska Miners Said to Be Gold Also. NEW YORK, Oct. 5.—Edward H. Hamilton, a correspondent of The Journal, writes from Fort Yukon, Alaska, as follows: Dawson must move. It must leave the mines and bend all its energies to getting where it can fill its stomach. That is certainly the condition 6hown at Fort Yukon. Unless there should be a miracle or rain no laden steamer can reach the golden city of the Klondike until next summer, nine or ten long months from now. All these miners and hangers on about the skirts of fortune who have not sufficient supplies for the winter must cease their search for gold and enter upon a search for the more precious "grub," leaving fortune when it is just within grasp. STABLISHRD 1890 MADISON, SOUTH DAKOTA TUESOAY, OCTOBER .5 1897. IS TOO LATE. Pro- London Standard Comments on the posed Spanish Reforms. LONDON, Oct. 5.—The Evening Stand ard, commenting upon the Spanish crisis, expresses fear that the firm atti tude assumed by the queen regent, and the appointment of Senor Sagasta to form a new cabinet are too late, and It means disappointment for thou sands, but the alternative is starvation. Coming up the river are four steam ers and two barges all heavily loaded. They probably will be able to reach Fort Yukon. They certainly will be able to reach Mihnute. With an ordin ary season there will be provisions enough for shousands at Mihnute and Fort Yukon. Shelter Also Scarce. Beaching the provisions may be no matter of great difficulty but the ques tion of shelter iB a serious one. There will be no shelter ready for Dawson em' igrants here or at Mihnute. The present Fort Yukon consists of a trader's house and store, a small Epis copal mission school and a half dozen cabins. Mihnute is merely a mushroom growth of the last few weeks. There are a few miners' cabins, one store, and the rest is a matter of tents and shacks. Houses are plenty at Circle City. Houses which were deserted when the wondrous strike on the Klondike drove men mad. The question is, so far as Circle City is concerned, can late steam ers get to Fort Yukon? Mllimite a Itloh Flel l. As for Mihnute, its fortune is all to make. One believer declares its indica tions are better than ever E.dorado or Bonanza was. Still another brings a talc of 122 ounces of course gold, something over $2,000, taken out after drifting of only eight days. The fact, is enough bed rock has not yet been worked to tell the talc of the camp aright. RAIL AND WATER ROUfg, Lesi Than a Hundred Miles of Road to Counect Dawson ami Vancouver. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 5.—The con struction of a railroad from Vancouver, or from some point east of that place on the Canadian Pacific line, to Dawson City and the Klondike country in gen eral will not bo a very difficult 01 ex pensive undertaking, in the opinion of Collingwood Schriober of Ottawa, who is now in this city. He has arrived with a party of Ottawa people including E. Necomb, deputy minister of justice. In discussing the building of a road to Dawson, Mr. Schriebcr said: "Two Burveys are now being made from different points on the Canadian Pacific. The latter company is making one of the surveys and the government is making the other. It will be neces sary to build only 90 miles of railroad to make a good rail and water route from the Canadian Pacific to Dawson City. The railway can be operated the year round, but during the winter months the water route will not be opaa for steamers. Leased by Swift & Co. ST. PAUL, Oct. 5.—The large pork packing and beef packing plant for merly occupied by the Minnesota Pack ing and provision company, has been leased for OS years to Swift A Co., Chicago. The plant cost abeut $600, 000. The pork packing plant has a capacity of 8,000 hogs a day, and the beef plant a capacity of 600 head per d*y. It Means Thousand?, If Not Millions, of Dollars to the Company. TOPEKA, Kan., Oct. 5. Judge Foster has handed down his opinion in the Kansas City Stock yards case, in which he decided against the company oil every legal question raised. The opin» ion is very sweeping and the decision it a complete victory for Attorney Gen eral Boyle. The stockyards company will appeal to the Unitod States sujreme court. There were three po'nts on which the stock yard owners relied. Jndge Fos ter said that none of them could stand!* His decision boiled to a few words is: 'The law govornin? stuck yavdRi charge was regularly passed by the Kansas legislature. The stock yards company is only an incideut of com merce and in the absence of action by congress is subject to the state laws. Congress has not acted to fix regula tions governing it. The charges fixed by the legislature would give a reasona ble return on capital invested." Means a Very Large Sum. KANSAS CITY, MO., Oct. 5. —The Kan sas City Stock yards case grew out ot the efforts of the stock yards company to prevent ihe enforcement $f the law passed by the last Kansas legislature reducing yardage charges. The taking of testimony in the case was begun in this city on April 30, last, George W. Clark, assistant attorney general ol Kansas, acting as special master. The purpose of the stock yards people wa& to prove that present charges were rea sonable that the prices fixed by the Kansas legislature were ruinous, and that in attempting to lis rates the state interfered with the interstate commerce. The yards lie in both Kansas Cities, being situatod on the Kansas-Missouri line. To the company, which is the second largest in the country, the re sult of the case means thousands, if not millions, of dollars. MR. CLEVELAND'S AMBITION.
