New York, Nov. 5. The Herald says
it ia too late to talk autonomy. Cuba is
lost to Spain. Only independence for
the island will put an end to the struggle
now devastation the colony and raining
Spain. That is what eight leading
Cubans, all of whom formerly favored
autonomy, told Senor Jose Canaleja at
the Fifth Avenne hotel. These Cubans
did not represent the junta, for the junta
will discuss autonomy with no one, but
the conference if) the more remarkable
in its results, because the men who
talked so firmly against any proposition :
except independence were formerly
leading autonomists, who in view of the
recent developments say that even were
they to listen to such a proposal, the in
surgents in the field would simply scowl
at it as an evidence not of Spain's (rood
faith, but of her weakness and willing
ness to promise concessions rather than
prosecute a hopelesB war.
Colonel Canaleja was formerly a mem
ber of the Spanish cabinet. He comes
to sound American feeling, and to in
form himself by personal observation of
the state of affairs in Cuba. Before his
conference with the Cubans, Seuor Can
aleja was unable to obtain an exchange
of viewB with Estrada Palma, president
of the Cuban junta.
"Tell him," said General Palma, to
an emissary who sought to arrange an
interview, "that when I was president
of the republic of Cuba, I assisted in
making a law which is in force today,
and by which any member of the govern
ment who listens to the' proposition
from Spain short of absolute independ
ence, is regarded as a traitor."
The meeting at the Fifth Avenue was
in a reality an incidental one. Senor
Canaleja did not then, and has not &ince
his arrival, posed as representing the
Spanish government, but it is known
that his prominence in Spain makes his
mission likely to bear fruit when he goes
borne. The Cuban representatives
appointed Senor Varona as spokesman
Senor Canaleja remarked that be
could not understand why, if the Cubans
had really been In earnest in asking for
autonomy, they now refused to accept it,
Senor Varona cited the history of Cuba
.since, 1878, and declared that with
victory at hand, the patriots scorned the
Spanish proposals.
Senor Canaleja expressed regret that
their attitude was ao uncompromising,
saying that it was impossible for Spain
to yield, and that therefore the war must
necessarily continue. Spain, he added,
had all the resources necessary to prose
cute the war, an assertion which the
Cubans received with doubt. He said
he could not see why, if autonomy would
give to the Cubans all the advantages of
independence without its drawbacks,
they should prefer to continue the war.
There was some talk as to whether
some of the Cubans named for import
ant posts "by the new premier were men
likely to imbue the insurgents with the
idea that Spain really intended to deal
fairly by the colony. Senor Heredia
Escabrera, of the Cuban party, said
these men were of such a character that
the insurgents would be irritated rather
than soothed by their elevation.
The Cubans continued talking down
phrase after phrase of tne autonomy
question, and expressed the belief that

there is no end of the war short ot in
dependence, and their firm conviction
that the insurgents will accept nothing
else.
Tbe discussion was conducted with
marked courtesy. Its effect upon the
Spanish representative was marked.

Washington, Nov. 5v The Russo-
Japanese-American treaty on the
Behring sea fisheries question was not
signed today, the statement being made
by officials that the formalities were not
yet completed.
The postponed meeting between the
American and British experts looks
more promising. The state department
is expecting Sir Wilfred Laurier, premier
of Canada, and Mr. Davis, minister of
marine, early next week.' With them
will come Professor Maccun, the seal
expert of the British foreign office.
"Josh Bllllnara' " Father Was tbe First
Purchaser, Just Fifty- Years Ago.
''Fifty years ago in. July, 1847
Uncle Sam issued his first postage
stamps," writes Fannie Mack Lothxop
in Ladies' Home Journal. "In Eng
land, seven years before, Rowland
Hill, 'father of the penny post, intro
duced the 'sticking plasters,' as the
stamps were contemptuously called.
John M. Niles, our postmaster-general
at that time, tried heroically, but in.
vain", to more congress to authorize
stamps for this country. . His successor,
Cave Johnson, was more fortunate, and
the bill desired was approved on March
3, 1847, the stamps, not beings issued,
however, till August, though the time
appointed was July 1. Only two values
of the new stamps were introduced in
1847 a five and ten-cent stamp, bear
ing, respectively, the portrait of Frank
lin in a bronze tint and Washington in.
black.
"The first purchaser of stamps in the
United States was Henry Shaw, the
father of Henry Wheeler Shaw (better
known as 'Josh Billings,' the humor
ist). Mr. Shaw was in the postmaster
general's office on August 6, 1847, when
Mr. Johnson entered with the printer
from whom he had just received sheets
of the new stamps. Mr. Johnson passed
a sheet to Mr. Shaw for inspection
After giving the stamps a hasty glance
Mr. Shaw, perhaps with an eye to fu
ture fame, took out his wallet, counted
out 15 cents and purchased one of each
variety. The 'five' he kept as a curi
osity, the 'ten' he presented to Gov.
Briggs as an appropriate gift."

Fears Felt That Thompson Has
Victim to Yankee Wiles.
Ottawa, Nov. 5. Officials in the
fisheries department here are discon
certed over the action of President
Thompson, the great English seal ex
pert. Fears are entertained that in
connection with the recent conference
he may have committed Great" Britnin
to a line of policy quite antagonistic, to
Panada's interests. One minister ex
presses fears that the English expert
has fallen a victim to the wiles of tbe
American politicians.

Regrlom Just Oat of Berlin Remarks,
hie for Its Old Customs.
The Spreewald is the subject of . a
paper in Century. The writer says:
Strange, indeed, that so near Berlin so
old-time and curious a community
could have remained reasonably uncon
taminated by the hordes of picnickers.
The .Spreewald is too near a great cap
ital for foreigners to hear much of it.
The museums and palaces of Berlin, the
pilaces of Potsdam, absorb all the
spare energy of foreign visitors. And
for convenient outflights it is a little
too far for most burghers of Berlin.
Some Hiave country places in and near
the Spreewald. Alany visit it occasion
ally. It is a favorite place for people
from Dresden and Leipsic who can give
several days to exploring its watery
labyrinths. Especially for the teaching
guild is it a favorite resort. Every vil
lage has its inns, and at Burg, where
Vendish services are held in the old
church and the costume remains the
most antique, there are several famous
taverns. One is the bleachery where
Frederick the Great established a col
ony of dyers and weavers, who have dis
appeared, although the art is still prac
ticed by private means for personal use
in many farmhouses. But the fine
green, orange, pink and lilac headdress
es and the turquoise, gray and yellow
skirts are now bought at Cottbus or in
Berlin.
Color Line In British Army.
With all England's condemnation of
the social disadvantages, to which the
colored race is subjected in the United
States, she is giving abundant evidence
of being imbued with radical preju
dices that are every bit as strong.
Thus, the volunteer regiments of the
great universities have declined to ad
mit to their ranks students of Indian
or of African origin, and a number of
other volunteer and militia corps, in
cluding the Inns of Court batallion.
