CUBA'S INDEPENDENCE
Willing to Purchase it From
Spain.
CLEVELAND'S NOTE TO MADRID
Itumnnt That Sennr Paliua Kaegeftted
This Method as Satisfactory Don't
Want Homo Rale. .
Chicago, April 22. A special to the
Tribune, from Washington, says :
In spite of official denials at the state
department, it is now admitted gener
ally that a note has been sent to Madrid
by Secretaiy Olney. An additional re
port is now in circulation to the effect
that this note was a forerunner of a
proposition on the part of the president
that Cuba should be allowed to pur
chase her independence from Spain, and
that Senor Pal ma, who is to be made
minister of the Cuban government here
as soon as his country's independence is
gained, suggested this plan to Mr. Cleve
land, telling him it would be satisfac
tory to the Cubans. The Cuban lead
ers laugh at the reports from Spain of
promised political reforms for the island.
BOMB RULE WILL UK SPURNED.
Cubans Declare Nothing: Leas Than Ab
solute Independence Will Do.
Tampa, Fla-, April 22. The dispatches
announcing that Cuba will gut home
rule, are received with scorn by the Cu
ban colony here. Colonel Fernando
Figarero, the Cuban delegate to Florida,
eaid: '
" "Should Spain ever proffer us home
rule it will be spurned. As long aa Cu
bans live they will light for liberty. Ab
solute Independence ia what we want;
nothing else.
"Campos promised us home rule in
1876, but it was never granted. We are
not to be bluffed asiuin. ' .
"What they now offer is the law pro
posed by Albnrznza, the-minister of col
onies, in March, 1695, and accepted by
. the corte?, but never put iuto effect. ',, ,
'This measure was suggested by the
6tartHng capture of the Lagouda., Aim
di9 and Barawa, at Fernandino, loaded
with munitions of war from Cuba.
Spain has been loath to concede that
much to us, but now think it the only
redeeming measure.
"If they have our forces in Cuba bo
scattered, bewildered and surrounded,
why ara they so eager to grant any such
concessions?"
SAILED FOB CUBA.
Another Filibustering Expedition to
Land. Tonight.
Key Wbst, Fla., April 22. The
schooner Competitor, commanded by
Alfred Laborde, left this port about
midnight last night, with arms and men
for Cuba. The schooner carries sixty
CubanB and ' Americans. It is said to
have aboard 800 rifles, 600 ' revolvers,
500 machetes and 150,000 rounds of am
munition. The Competitor proceeded to Sugar
Loaf Key, 25 miles north of here, where
more munitions and arms were taken on
board. It is said the Cubans waiting on
Sugar' Loaf Key' have three rapid-fire
guns-.' ' " - ' .'
After getting the arms and men at
Sugar Loaf Key, the Competitor was to
be met by the Bteam tug George W.
Child a, which had been engaged to tow
the Bchooner to Cuba. Laborde told his
friends that the expedition would land
in Pinar del Rio province tonight. ...
The schooner slipped out under the
noBe of the revenue-cutter Merrill.
When it was learned that it carried arms
and men, the customs officers ordered
the Merrill to' pursue her, but the
schooner had too' good' a start to be
overtaken. Alfred Laborde, who com
manded the expedition," is a' wealthy
Cuban of Tampa.
Highest of all ia Leavening Power.
l LfJf C'J
Cuban leaders here say that as soon
as Maceo receives the ammunition car
ried by the Competitor, an attack will
be made on the troops.
Sectarian Bchoul Matter Battled. :
Washington, April 22. The senate
today disposed of the sectarian school
question by adopting the compromise
framed by senator Cockrell, of Missouri.
The Indian bill, as it came from the
house, provided that "no money herein
appropriated shall be paid for education
in eectarian schools." This provision is
struck out by the Cockrell amendment
as adopted", for it is declared to be the
settled policy of the government to make
no appropriations for sectarian schools
after July lst,1898, thus giving two years
for the abandonment of eectarian schools
instead of immediate abandonment.
The amendment was adopted by a de
cisive vote of 38 to 24.

ARTIFICIAL LIMBS.
Improvements Which Make Their Use
Hardly Noticeable. '
Painstaking ' skill and constant im
provement are necessary factors in the
"perfection or success of almost any in
dustry, but nowhere, aays the New
York Mail and Express, are they more
fully attended than in the making- of
artificial limbs. There was a time when
the lame and the crippled had to show
their defects and misfortunes to the
world.1 Now it is just the other way.
People with artificial legs can now walk
so perfectly, as to avoid detection, and a
person with a single amputation- can
almost defy detection. Improvements'
make it possible to move the knee and
ankle joints, and this innovation also
strengthens the whole limb and makes
it more durable.
One of the latest improvements is in
the knee joint of the leg- for thigh am
putation, which is so arranged that
when in a sitting position the cord and
spring are entirely relaxed, thus re
lieving all strain and pressure. There
are in the United States 100,000 persons
who have to be supplied with new limbs
on an average of once in every five to
eight years. The manuf acturiner of
these articles in New York has become I
quite an enterprise. ' . .
