Senor Dnpny de L ti e, .e patiian uiiu ster. has re wived ng di-pitches Irom Madrid showing in d tul the pi m of autonomy which Hp . in ii- shunt toappy to Cuba. While tiiee (In hot g ve the text of the new law, tl ey i-x.iain all important features and c:enr iiu ouht- hid had arisen from the tun Ificiai reports which have come from Madrid. Speak'iig of the new law, the minister laid yert'enl.iy "I reiet hat much misapprehension has arinen over lit new law owing to the virv meagre r ports heietofore re ceived concerning it. I trust admit, also, that I hive been at niched at the dispoM inn in som quarters to critic se small technic! leatures ithout look ing at the brond, general character of the new reform Uw It is a measure which will i-tand the clones scrutiny, and I am very desirous that the American people should look into it with care, studying it and comparing it with other constitutional metro ds of governing colonies. Such ttudy I am sure, will fully vindicate the law and commend it to the people of this country outside of tii one irreeoncilablea who are always to be met with. O.ie of the recent critic isms is that this plan of autonomy is the same as the old plan with some change of detail. "A a matter of fact the new plan is a complete realization of the policy and platforms of the autonomist prty dur ing the last twenty years. Ths old plan of autonomy gave to Cuba an ad visory body. It did not have final authority in making laws, but merely advUe4 as to those laws. .New, how ever, the new law proposes to give Cuba a parliamentary body of full lawmaking pnwer. The completeness of this legis lative power is ua great, if not greater, than that enjoyed by Canada or by any state of the United States. This ia readily demonstrated by comparing the plan of the new law with that of the British North America act of 1R67, which established the present parlia mentary system of Canada, In the new plan for Cuba there is no property qnalifi cations as to the electors. It is one man, ore vote, the same be he black or white. "If the new home rule law is com pared with the ayttems prevailing in the several states of the United States it will be found that Cuba iB to have a far greater measure of control of her own affairs than the several states in this country. For instance, she is given control of her postal affairs, coutrol of her banking and currency, control of her customs. Thia last feature is most important." BOMS CAN NKVEK HE SUITED. When it was suggested that among certain elassi s no plan of autonomy was acceptable, he said : , "Certainly there are irreconcilable on both f-ides Spanish irreeoncilablea and Cuban irreeoncilablea. But they are not the ones to bo considered, It is the people at large and the materia! in terests of Cuba that are to be consid ered. The Cuban irreconcilable says he will not accept, this new law. He does not point out its di fects or suggest remedies. He simply declines to accept it. Such men are out of court. They are not open to argument o; reason. I.uvttcrl' 1 rlul A if iln. CntCAUo, 111., Nov. .it). The second trial of Adolph L. Luetgert for the mur der of his wife was called before Judge Gary yesterday. The big eausago manu facturer was represented by et-Judgo Lawrence Harmon and Attorney Max Reese, Attorney I'belan having with drawn. Most of the session was taken up by Mr. Harmon, in arguing that Judge Gary chould not try Luetgert, on the ground that he was not qualified to sit as a criminal judge. Judge Gary over ruled the motion. i Attorneys Harmon anJ Reese held a consultation with Stato's Attorney Deneen to decide on eome other judge to hear the case, It was late in the afternoon when the task of securing a jury was entered upon, but by the time court adj turned sixteen veniremen bad been examined and two jurors were accepted by the state, although the defense baa still the privilege of rejecting them. The two men are Thomas H. Bachelor, an in surance ma'i, who said he had only read the headlines in the papers during the former trial and had absolutely no opinion regarling the guilt of the prisoner, and Walter J. Northam, a clerk, who said ho could give the ac cused a fair trial. Dksvkr, Col, Nov. 30. John H. Dame, until recently a runner for the Western hotel, waa locked up yesterday en a charge of insanity.

The scheme was to form all the distii eries oi tiie state into one vast combine for the purpose of regulat ing the output and cutt n down eipen ees by reducing operating forces. The reason alleged for the failure of tha pro ject is that eastern financiers ho were to buy u distilleries were frightened off because they claimed ihat the Ken tucky tlis Hers had listed their distill eries at figures far beyond toeir real value.

The Carlisle Indian iootbal team wa treated to a genuine surpri S-ituiday by the eleven representing the Ohio medical college. The game wn nlaved at ths Western lengu ha I pirk and was witnessed by from 3,000 to 1,000 peopie. It was cold and cloudy and the field was covered withaheavv mud. Quarterback Mur nhy and Smith of the Ind ans were unable to h in the "ame on account f injuries r wived at C ncao. In th" r Hf'Sence Eastman jiiayed qcar'. -rback t-nl Kennedy centre. The "med c" iid not expect to score against the In dians bur. went into the game with the determination to keep the score down if poss'ble. The Indians were put. on their mettle on the star by the aggressive play of the "medics" and the contest proved to be fast and ex-itlng. Tne "medic-" carried the ball twice over the Carlisle line, something which no other western eni ha ever done. Probably the g ea'ea; f.-iture of the same was the sixty-eight yard run of Cay-'uofthe I dian tetim for a touch-down after securing the ball on a fumble. Both touchdowns rooted by the "medics" were ma ie hy superior play, the Indian line being battered for repeated gains. The final score was 20 to 12 in favor of the Indians, the Carlisle men missing two goals. hCaiM.nl Mill Ou. Paris Nov. -0.

The --riri'i. incindeii p fine of $4't 41ft. 10, or double the amoi.iu of money embezzled, and the order to pay tiie cost3 of the prosecution. The court was at first in clined to rive the prisoner a sentence of en years, but the sight of Mrs. Moore jl miring to her husband as he sat before the bar where he had dropped in a chair niter hearing ihe - ntencp, and tbe ap peal of Mrs. Moort for clemency moved he court to reduct- tbe term of punish n.ent to eight years. The fine imposed is in accordance wii' tl e ftatuory pro vision that any per-on embezzling pub lic money shall pay a fine of twice the amount of money taken. The Lour set for imposing sentence was 9 o'clock. At inai time Mr. Moore, to charge of W. A. Howard, a special deputy, came from lie sheriff's office, crossed the corridor and entered the court room. Mra. vloore approached him and handed hii tering tne court roo ed himself at the and Mrs. Moore Attorney-General r a paper.

Mr. Moore was comparatively calm on entering the room, but shortly after lie took his seat, his eyes grew moist and the tears were plainly visible. Mrs. Moore did not shed a tear during the whole ordeal though her face plainly expressed silent suffering. All through Mrs. Moore endeavored to give her hus band hope, but Mr. Moore was unable to master himself and he was in tears continually. , , Thorn Must Die. New York, Dec. 1. Martin Thorn was yteterday convicted of murder in the Prt degree fo- killing William Gul densuppe, bis predecessor in the affec tions of Mrs. Augusta Nack, at Wood side L. I., on June 25. At the request of Thorn's counsel the passing of the death sentence was deferred until next Friday morning. Thorn heard the jurymen polled on their verdict, but his face never ctiniiged color during the trying ordeal. WTith lips firmly com pressed and jaws hard set, he faced the judge, jury and court room full of spec tators with well-feigned ttoiiism. About three weeks ago Thorn's fiist trial on tbe charge of murder was be gun, but owing to the illness of a juror it had to be abandoned after three days. A second trial opened a week ago last Monday, ana counting out three days on which the court did not sit the trial consumed only six days. Mrs. Nack's testimony during the mis-trial made it compulsory for Thorn's lawyers to change their line of defense in the second trial, and tbev made, a di rect charge against Mrs. Nack and in sisted that her alleged confession was a lie and she herself was the instigator and perpetrator of the murder, Thorn being ignorant of the killing until after Guldensuppe had been shot by Mrs. Nack. The woman was not produced during the second trial, but Thorn went on the stand and substantiated all the statements made by iiis lawyers as to the mid-wife's guilt. Jiis Btory, as the verdict shows, did not have the desired effect upon the jurj men. llayti Appeals For Help. Washington, Dec. 1. State depart ment officials refuse to discuss the com plication between Germany and Hayti, or to indicate what course it will pursue in the matter, though it is evident that they do not regard it as likely to have serious or permanent results. Confi dence is expressed in trie intentions ol the German government not to act un justly towards the little republic, and it is felt that with the gunboat Marble head at Port-au-Prince to watch over our interests in the event of trouble, that is all in the way of preparation that can be done. Reports that came to the state de partment late m the afternoon from Hayti, were to the effect that consider able excitement prevailed there and that the situation was grave. For thia reason it was determined to hasten the departure of Maib.'ehcad and the naval officials were communicated with to this end. The impression appeared to pre vail in Port-au-Prince that a German warship was rapidly approaching the place. Of course it is stated that the Marblehead goes solely for the purpose of protecting American interests that might be Ihreatoned by the outbreak of disorders in Hayti. The lateBt advices from German, how ever, indicates that no occaWn will be given for friction between the United States and Germany on account of the Haytien difficulty, and that the matter will be adjusted.

One Woman Is Killed. Baltimore, Nov. 24. The entire oon tents of the five-story building, 317-311 North Howard street, occupied by Will ium H. Scott as a furniture store, wers totally destioyed by fire, in which one woman, Mrs. Susan E. Maxon, lost hes life. The interior of the building occupied by Mr. Scott, which is owned by Mich, ael F. McOormick, was also completely demolished. The total damage to ths adjoining property is estimated at aboul $135,000. The two a.djoin;ng buildings, occupied respectively by the Uriah Pol lack Furniture company, on the south side and by the Potthast brothers, deal ers in antique furniture, on the nor ft side, were considerably injured by itt and water. In the alley immediately in the real of the Scott building three small houses occupied by colored people were dam aged to the extent of $500. The origia of the f re is not known. It started ia the basement and it is thought by some of the employes that the highly in flammable material that encased packed furniture may have caught fi e in some mysterious way. From the basement the fire was communicated to every floor in the building through the eleva tor shaft, which afforded a strono draught, and the entire building wa soon enveloped in flames. The fire was discovered shortly aftei 2 o'clock, at which time there were forty-five employes in the store and about twenty-five customers. A panit followed the discovery of the fire and everyone rushed to the nearest place oi egress. Mrs. Maxon, who was alone, U thought to have fallen, or to have faint ed from fright, her body being found soon after the flames had been subdued. A salesman had his ankle sprained and a fireman was slightly hurt. The insurance on Mr. Scott's stock ii $81,000. Mr. McCormick's loss on the building is estimated at $30,000 of which $25,0C0 is covered by insurance. The loBses of the Pollack furnitur company and Potthast brothers are not known.
