Culxi ( Via Key West ) , Oct , IS Tlio business element here. In Havana and eliiewher ? scorns to have arrived at tha conclusion that tlic .Madrid government cannot end Hiovir 0:1 : the basis of autonomy to Cuba , as there arc not enough loyalists among tlio autonomists to hold riuhllc olllce. At least that Is the claim tlic conservative Spaniards make. In addition , tlio latter ex press the liollef that the autonomists , even If they were plajod In power , would not preserve peace and protect life and property from the lawless elements. In view of this condition of affairs a number of Important merchants nnd sugar planters of Spanish origin , In con junction with Bcvcial Cubans of tiroinlnenco , have been ln.ldlng secret meetings and cor responding with people In various parts of the Island with tlio object of ascertaining the views of the commercial and planting com munity In 1'lnar del Hlo , Havana , Matanzas nnd Santa Clara provinces , as to the future for Cuba most likely to further their In terests and those of the Island In general. It Is expeo'ed that the majority of the replica will lie favoiablo to annexation of Cuba tu thu United States , as the Washington government alone , apixircntly , Is able to guiiranleo pcare in Cuba and the protection of life and property. Aa soon as It Is ascertained that the senti ment of the persona appealed to Is In favor of annexation u committee will be sent to the United States with Instructions to lay the oifio of Cuba clearly before the business men of prominence In the United States and lisle the latter to unite with the business men of Cuba In a petition to the Washington government asking the United States , In view er the failure of the conservatives to suppress the insurrection by force of arms and pointIng - Ing out the Impossibility of the liberals endIng - Ing the war by establishing an autonomous form of gave iiinent to bring about the an- ne.xutlon of Cuba to the Unite : ! States. FKW UBAti AUTONOMISTS. The plup of Senor Sagasto , the now Span ish minister , to give nutomomy to Cuba , far from giving satisfaction hero , has greatly Increased 'tho feeling of discontent. Tut1 aiuonomlht party , It Is pointed out , Is only In name , the actual majority of the uulono- mls's being In the Insurgent ranks , and with the exception possibly of Sruor Montero and a few other prominent autonomists , the masses of that party ru In sympathy with the Insurgents. Consequently It will be seen the Spanish government , which bus con sulted SenoiMcntero on the mibjcct. Is Hud- Ing great dllliculty In obtaining even the suggestion of names of autonomists to till thu otllces for an autonomist farm of gov ernment. It would be Imprudent , It Is added , to give such olllccrf to the party known as thu reformists ; as thu more. inl'iicntiul ' Spaniards hate them and the adoption of such a polley would possibly mean rioting and oven worje. IJesldes , the masses of the resident Upinlards are strongly anti-autono mists and there Is little or no prospect of making them change their minds. Itecogniz- Ing tl > fi j > IIlculty of the task before Senor SagitjNTu Is ciot astonishing that the busi ness community In Cuba Is exchanging views on the subject of annexation to the United States , especially as a general up rising of Hie Spanish element Is feared If the Spanish government persists In pushing Its autonomist pulley , business men believing that autonomy Is only the II rat step toward Indepoml. nee In Cuba , and the feeling of the commercial classes being that annexation to the United States and the consequent safeguards tc life"1 and property IK far prefer able to the establishment of a new republic im Cuba. The city of Dayamo , one of the most Im portant In the province of Santiago do Cuba , lias been quietly abandoned recently , Its In habitants moving , as a rule , to Vegultas , fearing a repetition at Hayaino of the in surgent raid upon Victoria do las Tunas. It is said bore that some very warm cable messages were exchanged between General Wcyler and members of the Sagasta cabinet during the first days In ofllco of that inlnls try. The recent release of a largo number of .political prisoners from the different Span ish penal settlements was due to the dls- IKUSI experienced In certain Spanish circles bore at thn extreme severity exercised to ward them , but It Is not believed that tha Spanish government Inlands to grant general - oral amnesty. UIFFKHKNCKS AS TO POLICY. Among the newspapers hero there Is con siderable difference of opinion as to the policy which should bo adopted by Svaln to ward Cuba. The IMarlo Do M Marina , In on editorial just ( inbllshed , sustained the policy of utitono'iiy and credited Senor Sagasta with inaugurating It. El Pals , organ of the autonomist party , In reply , held that the autonomist cxirty favored by Seno.Sagasta was what the autonomists In Cuba had been advocating tor the last nine teen years , and therefore , the premier could not bo credited with having Inaugurated it. At the rame time , Bl Pals Intimated that Senor Sagasta was really only following thu policy adopted by the late premier , Canovas del Castillo , and that the Cubans , therefore , were moro Indebted to Castillo than Sagasta In til In matter. La Lueha , in an editorial headed "Auton omy for the Autonomists , " claimed that no party had more right tti Inaiigurato autonomy than the autonomists themselves , who had advocated and defended the policy of au tonomy for the past nineteen years and who had remained firm to their convictions In spite of everything , preferring complete dis appearance to supporting the Insurgents , If tlui latter triumphed. At the same time La Lucha protested against thu reformists being allowed to take a hand In thu autonomist gov ernment of Cuba , Insisting that the loyal autonomists und conservatives should alone liavu this honor , adding : "In Cuba there exist In reality only two parties , thu autonomists and the conserva tives. The latter represent the wealth of thn country more than they represent a po litical party , and they also represent the sovereignty of Spain and will assist thn Spanlfih _ government hi every way to pacify the Island , and are desirous of enabling the government at Madrid to proclaim to the world that the so\vr 'ignty of Spain In Cuba does not depend on bayonets alone , but upon thu 300.000 Spanish residents In Cuba wlio represent the wealth of that Island. They nro also desirous of being able to point to the fact that the autonomists uru able to govern the Island , nnd that Spain's army and navy are only auxiliaries to that gov ernment for the purpose of preserving order and maintaining the tranquillity of the Island. " I.AXII smvivoiis oii * TIII : TIUTO.V. forty-Two Saved Out or About Tu o Hundred I'ei-xoiiH , HAVANA , Oct. IS. The gunboat Maria Crlstlna , which left this port yesterday for thu scene of the wreck of the coasting tearner Triton , bound from Havana to Hahli Honda. Plnar del Hlo , which sank yesterday morning between Dominica and Marlel , has returned , accompanied by the tug boat Suale , which went with her. The two vessels arrived here at I o'clock this afternoon , the gunboat having on board seventeen and the tug boat twenty-five of the members of the lost ship's company , of whom thirteen are civilians and tha re malmler soldiers. The whereabouts of the others of the company Is unknown. The Triton struck the rock during a heavy rain storm. Its cargo shifted and fifteen min utes later It sunk In 120 fathoms of water. A scene of tenlblu confusluu und panic ensued as soon as the passenger * realized the msinlim of the crush. In a wild HtruRgle they rushed at boats , The first boat that was lowered capsized Immediately and all of its occupants were drowned In the whirling waters , The next was struck by an enor- jnous wave and turned over drowning twenty , but the frill craft righted again ami eight who hid been thrown out re gained It. Some were good swimmers and kept them selves afloat for hours , others floated about for twenty-four hours on planks. Four soldiers on planks , whom the strong cur rents carried cast of Havana , opposite Moro castle , were saved this morning by a pilot bo.it going toward Cardenas. They declare that last evening there were many others near them on planks , but when this morn ing cimo all these had disappeared. Some of them probably became food for sharks. These who were rescued tell heartrending stories of the scents during the terrible quarter of an hour before the Triton sank. An army captain , his wife and daughter wont down together , locked In a last cm- brace. A mother with twins , 15 months old , drifted helplessly away on the crest of a great wave. All the other' women and children were drowned. Just as the Triton was sinking Captain Illcardo , Its commander , committed suicide by shooting himself with his revolver. It la Impossible to glvo the exact number of those who were lost , but It is estimated that there were no fewer than 150. No pas senger list has been found. The consignee says that the vessel , which carried a general cargo , was not Insured. The forty-two rescued persons suffered se verely from the exposure. All of them were moro or less bruised and many of them badly wounded. co\iiiATii\Tis ( TIII : < ; ovr.n V.MH.XT. I'ri'i * Cln.l to lie Itlil of the Illniftnlltc St'liri1. LONDON . Oct. 18. The afternoon papers today echo the opinions of the morning newspapers - papers In congratulating the government upon "finally disposing of the bimetallic sf-arc , " and expressing regret that It should "ever even have seemed to receive support lit high quarters. " Hugh C. Smith , gov ernor of the Ikink of England , said today tea a representative of the Associated Press : "The bank Is a private company without any government control nnd Is not responsible to the government , except In the terms of Its charier. The * government cannot Issue any orders relative to the bank's reserves. At the same time the government Is the bank's best customer , and the court of governors , being composed of law-abiding citizens , whenever the government makes a request wo do our best to comply. The government must be presumed to know what Is best for the rou n try. "Tho press has been filled with mlsstate- mcnts. The government was asking If the bank was willing to renew Its offer made at the Paris monetary conference In 1SS1 , re garding Its reserve. I replied In the same tenor as the memorandum which the bank told the conference , though moro guardedly , That Is all that happened. Tlio statement that the bank has been coquetting with the American commissioners Is pure rubbish. Excepting what I have read In the papers I have never heard of these gentlemen. " The. United States monetary commissioners have received no olllcl'il Information regarding the action taken by the Ilrltlsh cabinet on Saturday last Private advices , however , con- vlnco them that the cabinet has dealt the deathblow to their nrission. It Is exported the commissioners will shortly be Informed that her majesty's government regrets being iinablo to accede to their proposals , but Is willing to listen to any other ? ilan they may suggest. Ilut both parties to the conference know that no other p'actical scheme can be advanced. t In the event of the expected reply being received the United States commissioners will return to the United States. It is lcarne.1 th.it the only thing tlio cabinet ofllclals dis cussed In connection with the currency ques tion on Saturday was Sir James Westland's report. Sir .Inmcs Is head of the financial department of India and his voluminous report took the strongest grounds against reopening the mints. The commissioners believe their failure means that no further effort In behalf of bimetallism will be made for many years to come. They attribute thMr failure to the opposition of the bankers und the London Times. Until these forces were aroused all signs pointed to thecootieratloii of the Hrltish government. llKMAM ) TIIH FlIliljISST liOIHlOIlC VSIIIIIT.M | | 1'l'oteHl A UTMIII Hi Sooi-i-c.v III Currency -lint ( M-N. LONDON , Oct. IS. The Dally News , In nn editorial headed "The Blmetalllst Conspir acy , " says this morning : "We do not know what authority there may bo for the state ment that the government , has agreed to con tinue the negotiations , nor can we see what the United States or any other country has to do with the matter , but there must bo an end to the conspiracy of silence In which the gov- einment Is Involved. Our financial credit Is far too serious a subject to bo bartered with foreigners or handled In the dark. " After severely reproving the chancellor of the exchequer and the governor of the Hank of England for their share In the transac tions the Dally News pointedly demands ex planations from Mr. Ilalfonr. the first lord of the treasury , and says : "There are those , Including ourselves , who regard It as a pub lic scandal that the first lord of the treasury should bo a blmetalllst. They argue that for. eign critics may Justly doubt the sincerity of our monometallism when they see a man at thu treasury who would , If ho could , destroy the whole of our monetary system. " After Insinuating that the question lies been left open with a view to Influencing the two forthcoming parliamentary by-elections In Lancashire ; the Daily News reiterates Its demand for full publicity and calls particu larly for the letter written by the chancellor of the exchequer , Sir Michael Hicks-Beach , to thu governor of the Hank of England. The Dally Telegraph , dealing editorially with Saturday's cabinet council , says : "As the cabinet has separated not to reassemble until the normal date next month , and ns Mr. Ilalfour has returned to Scotland , the ministers must he in complete agreement. If there had been any dissension , other meet ings of the cabinet would speedily have fol lowed. Wo may conclude , therefore , that everything remains CH before. It Is Impossi ble that any momentous change In the cur rency system could bo settled at a single meeting of the cabinet. " The Dally Graphic says : "All the cir cumstances lead us to believe that the gov ernment will give no undertaking to reopen thu Indian mints. " Continuing , the paper says : "CJold may yet again bo current In India , If the policy of 1S93 Is boldly pursued. Then the slnglo gold standard would rule throughout the empire. That Is our Interest both as producers and lenders of gold. Wo are not going to throw It away In order to put money Into the pockets of Colorado mine owners or to help Sir.

A Ill-jVICK TO S'l'OI" S.\lltl\C. ( < : iilci o CiiiixudiAiiniMtiis In 1'rr- vt-nl ( InMnrdir < if Sleep. Let no man wiiose snores disturb his boarding house at night henceforth maka the feeble excuse : "I can't help It. " Ho r-jin , for a Chlrago carpenter has Invented an antl-snorlng remedy which Is said to bo In fallible. It comes In various sizes , and will suit the palate of the most fastidious. It cannot bo "administered In coffco without the knowledge of the patient , " Ilko most untl-whlsky and anti-tobacco remedies. If swallowed , however. It Is likely that a man would never snore again , for It looks more like a block and tackle than anything olse. olse.The The Inventor Is S. Anderson , who lives In a part of wildest Chicago , Known as Pralrlu avenue. He was accustomed to surro with such energy that , It Is said , the Inhabitants of thu surrounding townships placed the ruin barrels under the "pouts every night. His was a snore , thu story goes , which rose and fell with a rhythmic measure. Some times It was dramatic In quality. It sounded like a buzz saw when the carpenter's mini ! was restless , and again It was soft and low. "Sam , " said his wife , "you have got to got something to stop that snoring. The neigh bors say they won't Mibmlt to It. " So the faithful Anderson began a scries of patient experiments. Ho burned -Ida throat with wonderful mixtures , which made him feel as though ho hud swallowed a stream of tacks. Ho slept without a pillow , and then uacd two pillows unJer his head Instead of one. He consulted several physicians. Hut all to no avail. Then ho bethought himself of his trade , for ho was a skillful carpenter. L/ong nlghta ho sat up , poring over plans with callipers and wielding the T-square over blue prints. Then peace and quiet fell upon Pralrlo uvo- nuo HKo a balm to heal the blows of Bound. S. Anderson , who bad slept so loudly for years before , sank to rest Hko a purrlnff kitten. Tao neighbors mini ; to inquire , and they for the first tlmo saw "Anderson's Snore Annlhllator. " The Invention \ not nlco to look at. It U simply a pad .secured to the end of a strap. The pad prevents the breathing through the nose from becoming audible , nnd the strap Is simply put there in the Intcrc tH of rafoty and economy. A man who has bought a newly patented article cannot 'afford to Hwal- low It. The strop prevents the pad from slipping down the throat , It Is dllllcult to administer this remedy without the knowledge of the snorer , yet there arc cases In which It Is worth trying. Most of those allllcted with the snoring habit sleep with their mouths open. If a man 'In ' the next berth In the sleeping car iinnoys you too much you may bo able to give him Mr. Anderson's remedy and spend , a calm und restful night. f\
