SPAIN'S PLAN OF CUBAN AUTONOMY Outliied for I'uhlkatioi by the Col onial Minister. "LfK'.AL INTERESTS" OF CUBA V'ill Be left to the Ulitd t. Legislate tpoi - Tk. Hrtae. of rarliantit iaters Keapoaaible to It. , N-w York, October T.-A dispatch to the Herald from Madrid says: 8nor Morery y Pn.-mlergajt, the new colorruU mlnivter. hua outlined for the Herald hist plan for Cuban reform as Mfows: The autonomy which the cabinet of Be nor Sduata purposes to bestow on the Island of Cuiaa and Porto Rico In fuL flllmK of the mank-ato of June 11, la a special autonomy founded on th aspira tion suloffted In the platform of the Antilrtan autonomaaaa and not Identical with the other colonial oonstrturione. It is clear -that rn lu eaaential prlndptes the futuns constitutions of Cuba and Porto Rico aree with those colonial conwtltutJoris ".hat start from self govern ment as the capital steal-self legisla tion, responsible to the government, su. premacy of the governor who either un der that name or that of viceroy, snail represnt he mother country, and who shall chaos the mlntUwra who shnil be executive In that colony. Starring from the above basis, the pro ject of the Spanish government contains the first partition of those matters and co.icsirns that belong to the colonial par liament and to the Imperial parliament, that is to the national cortes. The par tition to founded on a careful dlscrlmlna. tJon between what interests the Islands themeslves have in a local sense and what Is of nuUonil Importance. The pro ject in operation win lmerpret the most generous manner the phrase, "local tn. terests." since It will only grant to the cotonlsna complete control of all that re hires to education, charity, etc, but it also tntrusts to reprenentacjvea of the local government the right of drawing upon their customs tariff without any Itmtt-altlona beyond those mutually ar ranged. With the metropolis to co-ordinate In their respwtive merchantile and com mercial inrtereets, the above functions will te performed by an lnular chamber totuily electoral In nature without re strictions as to subsequent to subdivis ions liAo two similar chamben that Is, the house of representatives and the members of 'this purlaimenc shall be elejted by the same eufTrage system as that whl:h rtguliites ihe elections in the peninsula. The same legislative body sltoll reprekrent Cuba in the Imperial pur- kimeirti. Only this assembly has been constituted. The governor-general as the representative of the central power shall choose the ministers who are, to be the executive body responsible to the Insular purttament thus completing the reorgani sation of the parlianwm ea Ids govern ment and endowing ft Ta-ith that degree of responsibility charaeterastlc of every colony dmlnistered on the prnciides of self government. The ministers shall be respoaTBlhle to the colonial parliament and every' enactment of the governor- general, as representative of the execu tive power In all that touches the local government shall be treated In the coun. oil. Of these ministerial functions re served 10 the metropolis are: First, those thnt concern International rela tions: second, militury and naval matters third, organlsntlon of the law courts fourth, those ilepositfonB thut under the name of patronage really regulate rela tlons be-ween church and state. At the same time the new constitution shall grant to the CubUn people, the use of and the protection afforded by the civil and political rghw sanctioned by the Spanish constitution in such manner as shlill obtain In ail Its Integrity in the colonies, while bcsiuVs there shall be eatabllishod such as in the United States, necessary business positions to prevent the colonial parliament from les senlng, dowlng or to delimitate the rlehts of cktlaenshlp thlat are set forth In the national constitution.
