constitutions of Cuba and Porto Rice
agree with those colonial constitu
tions that start from self-government
as the capital ideal sett-leglslatlon,
responsible to the government; supre
macy of the governor who. oltlmr un.
1 der that name or that of viceroy,
sunn represent ine mother country,
and who shall choose the ministers
who shall be the executlye in that
colony.
Starting from the abovo basis, tho
project of the Spanish government
coutalns the lirst partition of those
matters and concerns that belong to
the imperial parliament, that is to the
national cortcs. The partition is
founded on a careful discrimination
between jwliut Interests the Islands
themselves have in a local sense and
what is of national importance.
The project in operation will inter
pret lu the most generous manner,the
phrase "local Interests" since it will
not only grant to the colonies com
plete control ,of all that relates to
education, chanty, etc., but It also
Intrusts to representatives of tho
local government the right of draw
ing upon their customs tariff without
any (limitations beyond those
mutually arranged.
With the metropolis to co-ordinate
In their respective mercantile and
commercial Interests, the above func
tions will be performed by an Insular
chamber totally electoral In nature
without restriction as to subsequent
subdivision Into two similar chambers
that Is, the house of representatives
and the member of this parllmcnt
shall be elected by the same suffrage
system as that which regulates the
election In the peninsula, The same
legislative body shall represent Cuba
In the Imperial parliament, only this
assembly has been constituted with
the goernor-general as the rcprcsent-
atlvc of tho central power. It shall
choose the ministers who are to be the
executive body rcsponslllo to tho In
sular parliament, thus completing the
reorganization of tho parliament as
Its government, and endowing It with
that deureo of rcsDonslbillty char
acteristic of every colony administered
on the principles of self-government.
The ministers shall be responsible
to tho colonial parliament and every
enactment of tho governor-general,
as representative of the executive
power in all that touches the local
government shall be administered In
the council.
Of these ministerial functions re
served to the metropolis aie:
First, those that concern Interna
tional relations; second, military and
naval matters; third, organization of
the law courts; fourth, those deposi
tions that under the name of natron-
age really regulate relations between
the church and state.
At the same time, the new constitu
tion shall grant to tho Cuban people
the ust of and the protection afforded
by the civil and political
tloncd by the Spanish constitution In
such manner as shall obtain in all its
integrity In the colonics, while beside
there shall be established as' In tho
United States such necessary buSluess
restrictions as will prevent tho colon
ial parliament from lessening, closing
or delimitating the rights of citizen
ship that are set forth In tho national
constitution.
Tho constitutional conservative
party while condemning legal action
has decided to constitutionally opposo
the granting of autonomous govern
ment to Cuba.
New Secretary of Cuba.
New Yokk, Oct. 28. A dispatch to
tho Herald from Philadelphia says:
Dr. Jose Congosto, Spanish consul
here, who has just been appointed secretary-general
of Cuba says:
"A good doctor, you know, when
called in to take charge of a case of
which another doctor lias made n fail
ure, ignores the former mode of treat
ment and adopts one of Ins own. This
will be my method of administering

my policy shall bo liberality and fair
ness toward every one. All the Infor
mation which I possess which can be
made public will be at the disposal of
the representatives of American news
papers." No Compromise,

Congress Assembles,
Washington, Oct. 28 Senator Mc

president yesterday concerning over
Oregon appointments. He hopes to

and going thence to St. Paul.
There will bo no recommendation
for collector of customs to succeed
Black until tho president requests the
delegation to make one. Tho gold
democrats of Oregon are making quite
a stand to have Black retained.
No recommendation has been mado
for collector of Internal revenue, but
the delegation will select an Oregon
man, and let him tnko chances with

recommended by Senator Wilson. It
Is not believed that Colonel Weldlcr,
of whom Wilson has spoken In kindly
terms, will bo selected by tho Oregon
delegation.
Rivers and Harbors.
Washington, Oct. 28. Tho report
of the chief of engineers of tho army
is always of interest on account of
the estimates for rivers and harbors,
and also on account of what Is said
about the project In different states.
It Is the olllcial pronouncement upon
these Improvements. The estimates,
"As the representative of the Cuban j of course, wlille Interesting, aro not

position to state most emphatically
that the Cubans in arms will
enter Into no compromise with
Spain. The Cubans aro fighting
for absolute independence and they
will entertain no peace proposals from
tho Spanish government -based on
anything but absolute Independence.
The Cubans are firmly determined to
c-irry on the struggle until their pur
pose Is accomplished, and they will
listen to no proposition acknowledg
ing Spanish authority over Cuba.
Cubans will never accept autonomy,

very reliable. Congress usually appro
priates about 30 per cent of the esti
mates of the engineers, Tho coming
session may cut far below that. Such
a cut will not seriously Interfere with
Oregon Improvements because thoy
are generally well under way. The
estimates have already been published
but t hero aro other facts In tho report
of general Interest.
In tho river and harbor act ut 1890
was un item which Indicated that
something wus to be dono at Port Or
ford, but tho report shows that there
Is still an unexpended balance of $140
858.52. This will be reduced some
what by a survey which has been or
dered with an estimate of tho cost of
the Improvement and Importanco to
shipping and commerce.
ThoYuquInu Bay project gets a
black eye In the report. After recit
ing tho proposed project, tho gcnoral
says;
'Work under tho extended project,
or the making of a continuing con
tract for this work, lias not yet been
approved by the secretary of war, and
no appropriation was made for this
work by tho sundry civil act of Juno
4, 1807. Therefore no estimate Is pre
sen ted for this work for the year end
ing Juno 30, 1809.
r,Tlio amount of freight received
and shipped from Yaqulna bay In tho
calendar year 1890 Is reported as 17,883
tons, the rccclps consisting principally
of general merchandise and salt, and
the shipments of grain, (lour, potatoes
building Btonc, cooperage, and cord
wood. This Is a decrease of 7000 tons
from previous calendar year."
The commerce noted Is not likely to
hurry the secretary In approving a
project for the Improvement,
Of tho Ooqulllo river Improvement
the report sayBj
Up to Juno30 1800, tho sum of
$111,102 09 had been expended on nils'
Improvement, and $0883.00 for imag
ing on tnc upcr river, making the total
expenditure $148,010 59.
'Tho result was to securo a com
paratively stable channel across tho
bar. Tills channel had at times a
depth of from 8 to 19 feet, but was
subject to very considerable shoaling
from the effort of winds and tides,
having sometimes as ltttlo as four or
live fcot.
"On Juno 30, 1800, tho north jetty
was 610 feet long, and tho south Jetty
2110J feet long. The result was to se
cure a straight channel acrosH the bar
varying from four to ten feet deep

Warren Simmons, the Administrator
Seeks to Have His Claim Paid.

of the estate of Asa B. Simmons, de
ceased, recently filed In probata court
a petition for order authorizing htm,
as administrator to dispose of 100
acres of land belonging to tho estato

tho day for final hearing of tho peti
tion. On that day Attorney Tilmon
Ford appeared In behalf of tho widow,

dentally to defeat the petition for the
order for tho sale of tho real estate.
, It was first necessary to establish
tho right of tho administrator's claim

gan before Judgo G. P. Terrell at 10
a. m. Tuesday. Tho taking of testi
mony was not complotcd until this
forenoon, when tho closing arguments
wore begun, tho attorney for the
widow not concluding his argument
until ubout 2 o'clock In tho afternoon.
II. (J. Bigger appeared for tho admin
istrator. From the testimony introduced It
appears that tho bill of "Warren Sim
mons, tho administrator for $1000, is
ubout twenty years old and Is alleged
to bo duo for the erection of a house,
barn, hop-house and some small out
buildings.
Tho testimony also showed that tho
book In which Warren Simmons kept
an account of his dealings with the
deceased was minus ubout twenty
seven leaves.
At press hour tho closing urguments
had not been completed.
