Staying Out.
ft rvEi.Axn. O.. Feb. 4. It can be
stated on unquestionable autbority that
Mr. Hanna baa practically abandoned
all hope of securing an appointment as
United States senator to succeed Sher
man. A gentleman who stands as dose
to Hanna as any person in Cleveland
said today there was no doubt Governor
Bushnell would appoint Lieutenat-Gov-eraor
Jones to fill the unexpired term of
Senator Sherman, and that at the next
eessiou of the legislature, which con
venes in January, 1898, Governor Bush
nell would himself be a candidate for a
foil term.
It is further stated on the same au
tbority that the lieutenant-governor has
agreed not to be a candidate for a full
term in opposition to Bushnell, and the
fight is between Bushnell and Hanna
The gentleman who gave this infor
mation and whose knowledge of the sub
ject cannot be doubted, Baid the fight
between Hanna and Senator Foraker
would now be carried on to the bitter
end, and would, he said, not be by any
means confined to state politics.
The report that Hanna is being strong
ly urged to accept the postmaster-gener
alship in McKinley's cabinet ib also
verified, but thus far, it is slated, he has
steadily declined to enter the cabinet in
any capacity.

Madrid, Feb. 4. The queen regent
today signed a plan for reforms in Cuba
The test of the document will be pub
hahed on Saturday. The scheme in
cludes numerous and elaborate decrees
and will occupy several pages of the of
ficial gazette.
It is understood the reformB consist
chiefly in the creation of an assembly to
be called the council of admiration, com
posed of 35 members, of whom 21 are to
be elected by the people and eix by dif
lerent corporations. The remainder will
he one magistrate, one university pro
fessor, one archbishop and five former
senators or deputies.
The council of administration is cm
powered, firstly, to prepare a budget:
secondly, to examine into the fitness of
officials appoiuted ; third, they may make
a tariff, subject to the condition that
Spanish imports will have the advantage
over the general tariff.
The governor-general will represent
the home government, and have tbe
right to nominate officials who shall be
Cubans, or Spanish who have resided
two years in Cuba. Nevertheless he
may freely nominate high functionaries,
such as magistrates, perfects, etc.
Other decrees concern the organiza
tion of provisional municipalities which
ore to be liberally representative. Tbe
municipal councils general will be em
powered to elect their president and
have exclusive control of the public edu
cation. According to another decree the gov
ernment reserves to itself extraordinary
powers in the event of any disturbance
of the public order, and Cuba will con
tinue to elect senators and deputies to
the corteB as at present.
Altogether the reforms are much
broader in the direction of decentralisa
tion than those granted to Porto Riqo.
The powers of the governor-general are
much extended, while the council of ad
ministration ia fairly representative of
all parties and interests. The Spanish
governmenUwill continue to vote the
budgets and treaties for the colonies.
Spanish products, according to the re
form Fcltfme, will be allowed a rebate- of
40 per cunt of the Cuban tariff compared
with other imports.

Colonel Croftoa Arbitrarily lUlltvetf of
lilt Comuiaad.
Washington, Feb. 4. Colonel Robert
S. Crofton, Fifteenth infantry, was
arbitrarily relieved by the president.
Jt has been the desire of the war depart
ment that this officer should leave the
active service, and efforts have been
made during the past two years to attain
this end. First, through imitations to
Colonel Crofton, that his (retirement
would be granted if applied for, and this
failing, through that law which obliges
officers to retire if fonnd physically unfit
for service by the medical board. This
last course was adopted about nine
months ago, but without sucess, the
board finding the officer in good condi
tian physically.
Finally recourse has been taken to the
law which permits the president to re
move an officer arbitrarily when he shall
have reached 62 years of age.
Colonel Crofton passed that milestone
last month, a-nl the law baa been appli
ed in his case.
This is a most unusual proceeding, the
last instance of forced retirement being
in tbe case of General Carr, who was
forced out to permit tbe promotion of
officers below him in rank.
Colonel Crofton was in commaud of
the Fifteenth infantry wile it was Bta
tioned at Fort Sheridan, near Chicago,
and was held responsible for many in
cidents in tbe history of the occupation
of that point that furnished matter for
the courts, colonel Urotton naa a war
record. He became a colonel of tbe
Fifteenth infantry in October, 1886, and
is now stationed at Fort Bayard, N. M

says :
It is rumored in Havana tonight that
General Weyler will return to Havana
soon, as the frequent raids made in Ha
vana province have alarmed hiin.
It is no 6ecret in Havina that the
Spanish official are uneasy over the ap
pearance of General Rivera in that prov
ince, and the possibility of his striking
a blow at the capital itself has greatly
alarmed them. all. Maiquis Ahumada
has consequently been in close touch
with Weyler.
General Rivera had a skirmish with a
troop of Colonel de Lome's cavalry 50
miles northwest of Havana Tuesday, and
defeated tbe Spaniards. No details have
been allowed to escape, and tbe censor
ship has been increased the past fort

The signing of the Gniuna boundary

Andrade,of Venezuela, lira provok d bi -ter
comments in the Caracas press. Tbe
today declare it means a United States
protectorate, and unanimously decry the
form in which the treaty is progressing
toward ratification. A bitter debate in
congress when the convention is pre
sented to that body for ratification, is
loreshadowed.
It is not doubted, however, that
President Crespo will, eventually be
able to make the national legislature do
his bidding in the mater of acceptance.
