Washington, Dec. 28. The post will
say tomorrow :
It has been learned from an authentic
source that Secretary Olney and Senor
Dupuy de Lome have practically termin
ated the negotiations of the Cuban
question, which are to be submitted to
congress when it convenes, January 5.
The terms of the agreement are based
on recent official communications from
Premier Canovas addressed to the secre
tary of state.
The premier states clearly tbe teams
which Spain will accord to the insur
gents, and practically asks the United
States to propose these conditions to her
rebellious subjects. In return for our
good offices, Spain assures this govern
ment she sincerely deplores tbe great
commercial loss which we - have sus
tained on account of the Cuban disturb
ances. She assures us she is even now
considering a reciprocity treaty which
will deal mainly with Cuban products,
and which will be framed in such ad
vantageous terms toward thia govern
ment that our losses, both in commerce
and in ' tbe destruction of American
property in .. Cuba, will be most gener
ously compensated.
- Premier Canovas says Spain cannot,
as a self-respecting and respected nation,
stand before the world as having been
coerced into measures , by the United
States. She has freely granted all she
now offers, and that in tbe face ot a. re'
bell ion. But she accepts the good offr
ces of the United States to acs as medi
ator, and to guarantee to the insurgents
amnesty and the enforcement of the new
reform Jaw wnicn ene is aDout to pro
claim in Cuba. V . .:
The form of government offered is, the
Spanish statesman declares, the limit of
independence which can be granted to a
province by any nation without absolute'

Constantinople, Dec. 28. The Rus
sian ambassabor on Saturday, acting in
concert with representatives of Great
Britain, France, Italy, Germany and
Austria, had an audience with the
sultan, Abdul Hamid, one of many such
interviews within the past year, on the
same subject, the better administration
of affairs in the Turkieh empire.
The Russian diplomat began by warn
ing the sultan and the Turkish govern'
ment that if the revenues ceded for pay
ment of the Turkish debt were touched
European control of the finances of the
empire would become inevitable. ' M
de Nelidoff, tbe Russian ambassador,
further informed the sultan that tbe
czar guaranteed his personal safety and
engaged himself to maintain the sultan's
supremacy in the event of severe meas
ures being necessary upon the part of
the powers.. The sultan, however, re
mained obdurate, refusing to consent to
any measure ol control, financial or
otherwise, by the powers. '-
Tbe Russian ambassador said the con
dition of the Turkish empire placed the
throne and the caliphate in imminent
peril. Thereupon Abdul Hamid te-
marked impressively.
"I may be the last of the caliphs; bat
I will never become a second khedive
In addition to these warnings, M. de
Nelidoff sent a note to the Turkish gov
ernment ano to the palace. The utmost
significance is attached to, it in diplo
matic circles. . He pointed out in pre
Cise . terms the necessity for the sal
tan following the advice of the
powers and acting in complete agree
ment with their plans for improving the
situation, warning them once more that
the sultan's refusal to do so involves the
most disagreeable consequences.
The ambassadors of the powers will
meet again to discuss the situation, and
will reassemble in future' twice a week
until they complete their recommenda
tions to the Baltan and - his advisers
The envoys acting together will hence
forth maintain the strictest secrecy re
garding their deliberations and the ac
tion taken or contemplated, and will not
even inform the envoys of other powers
oi the decisions reached. '.';'..; ' ''

Pirates and Counterfeiters Promptly
Beheaded.
San Fbancisco, Dec. 28. According
to the latest advices from the Orient Li
Ka Chuck, superintendent of the Canton
police, on November 28, seized a large
nnmber of counterfeit coins. The chief
corner, Cheng Tung, and bis confeder
ates, Chan Mui, Tee Sang and others,
were arrested. An imperial decree'
from Peking commanded the immediate
decapitation of the three named offend
ers, and enjoins the viceroy to deal with
the others as he thinks necessary ac
cording to law. as a warning to tbe peo
ple. The officials who . effected the
seizure were all promoted in rank.
The Canton viceroy reported, in an
other memorial the capture of two no
torious pirate junks. In effecting the
capture one military officer lost his life.
A decree was issued on the 19th of No
vember authorizing the execution of the
captives and ordering tbe officials con
cerned in the capture to be promoted in
rank and that the matter of tbe mili
tary officer having lost - bis life be re
ferred to the board ' concerned for re
wards and posthumous honors.

Germany Would Advise Spain.
London, Dec. 28. The Chronicle's
Berlin correspondence reports that Ger

United States or to Spain in regard to

Cuba in the hands of Spain, the corres
pondent says, and in tbe event of affairs

grant such concessions aB would enable

that the very beet medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous system to a healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone
to the nerve centres in the stomach,
gently stimulates the Liver and Kidneys,
and aids these organs in throwing off
impurities in tbe blood. Electric Bit
ters improves the appetite, ' aids diges

have tried it as the very best blood puri
fier and nerve tonic. Trv it. Sold for
