New York, March 28. A "Washing
ton special to the Commcrclnl Adver
tiser contains the following concern
ing the new phase In the Cuban ques
tion: "That the president has conducted
his nesotlatlons with Spain In a spirit
cf llrmness and dignity is evident from
the advices received here from Madrid.
The tone of the note presented by Min
ister Woodford, as indicated in lust
week's despatches from Washington
nnd confirmed today In the despatches
from the Spanish capital, meets with
general approval among members of
congress and the administration will
be supported strongly In following up
the policy which It has outlined.
At the same time, without departing
from this policy In Its ultimate pur
pose, the president Is considering with
some seriousness the plan for a temp
oiary arrangement which shall permit
a peaceful solution of the Cuban ques
tion. The plan Is one which has been
proposed by the Spanish minister, and
Its substance Is this: Ample relief sup
plies will be sent by the United State
to the starving people of Cuba nnd
an appropriation for this purpose will
be asked from congress. The sending
of this relief will not be antagonized
by Spain. On the contrary, the Span
ish authorities will help to distribute
tho supplies if it is desired. The re
concentrados will be allowed to leave
the walled towns and to return to their
homes and the policy inaugurated by
"Weyler is to be abandoned. Spain will
offer to the insurgents a plan of au
tonomy as complete In every way as
that now enjoyed by Canada. The
Spanish flag will continue to float and
there will be certain other evidences
of Spanish control. Spain will have a
Fhort time in which to put this echeme
for autonomy Into practice. The in
surgents will be led by the United
States to nccept the Spanish offer with
the understanding that Spain's good
faith Is to be guaranteed by the United
States. Should the insurgents agree to
the plan then there will be an armis
tice and both eldes will lay down their
arms. It may be assumed that tho
war would soon be at an end. Should
the Insurgents decline tho proposition
nnd insist on continuing their struggle
for independence, then the United
States government will wash Its hands
of the whole business and inform the
insurgent leaders that they will have
to carry on their struggle at their own
risk.
This is substantially the plan as pro
posed by the Spanish minister. There
are details which It is not now neces
sary to touch upon. It is supposed
that it would afford a modus Vivendi.
The plan has not been formally ac
cepted by the administration. It is sup
ported by a majority of the cabinet
nnd is not unfavorably regarded by the
president, but it Is not believed that he
will adopt it unless he finds congress
In a complaisant mood. In the last
two days he has talked the question
over which several leading senators, to
all of whom he has said that in his
view the scheme had merit, and to
some of whom he has intimated that
he did not see how the United States
could well reject so fair a proposition.
Some of the senators with whom he
has spoken favor the scheme; others
criticize It as a compromise craftily
suggested by the government at Mad
rid. It should be said that the plan is part
of a scheme which tho president has in
mind for gradually bringing to an end
the Cuban troubles. After securing
Spain's consent to the distribution of
government supplies and the liberation
of the reconcentrados, he would pro
ceed In due time to request a complete
disarming of both the Cuban and Span
ish troops. Should this proposition be
ncci'ded to, it is calculated that Span
ish supremacy in the island would dls
it.tegrate, nnd that independence would
lie a matter ot only a short time. It
Is supposed that the enlisted men In
the Spanish armv, who were drafted
from the Pvrennees, who are mostly
half-grown hoys, and who have been
unpaid and unfed for months, would
selr.o the opportunity to break away
from their military control and scatter
over the Island, settling down with the
native Cubans on terms of mutual
good-will, and Intermarrying. This is
a project which appeals to the fancy
of those members of the administra
tion .who are peaceably Inclined.
Should it bo formally proposed in the
senate It Is "believed that it would have
the support of a majority In that body.
"With few exceptions "Republican sen
ators disapprove it. But It would
have practically a unanimous support
among Democrats and Populists. Sen
ator Gorman heartily approves It from
a political point of view. The Popu
lists and the silver senators also re
gard It with favor. A cliange has come
over the silver contingent since It has
dawned upon them that a war with
Spain would not necessarily force- th'e
United States to a silver basis. At
first they "believed that this would be
the Inevitable outcome of hostilities,
but now they realize tho probability
that a war would only result in fixing
the gold standard more firmly. It has
beep noticeable In the last few days
that ttier belligerent spirit is modified.
The reason for this Is not far to see.
ajhoy h'opo that the Republican adnvn
la,trftt,qp will bring negotiations to a
Jame and Impotent conclusion and that
when the fall elections come around
the Spanish flag will still "bo flying In
Havana and Cubun independence will
"be as far off as ever. Such outcome as
th,ls they are bum would work dlsas

polls; would tesult In a sweeping Dem
ocratic victory, and would pave the
way for a free silver administration.
They my teckon without proper con
ception of the feeling of the people,
but this Is undoubtedly the line of
thought they follow.
It has been noticeable, too, that tho
southern senators have grown luke
warm. Senator llacon, of Georgia, has
Introduced resolutions declaring for
peace. Senator Morgan, of Alabama,
has held his tongue, except when urg
ing moderation.
Other southern senators, like Jones,
of Arkansas; Mcl.aurln, of South Caro
lina; Bate, of Tennessee, nnd Caffery,
of Louisiana, also deprecate radical
measures. These southern men are ac
tuated by varying motives. Some fear
that a war would have a serious effect
upon the exports of cotton, which
would be subject to seizure on the high
sens. Others are alarmed at the de
fenseless condition of southern ports.
New Orleans, Mobile and Charleston,
In particular, would be vulnerable
points. Still others fear the letting
down of quarantine regulations and the
Introduction of the dreaded yellow
fever through tho passage of troops
between Cuba and the United States.
In short. It Is coming home to these
southern men that a war with Spain
would tell with peculiar force against
the interests of their sections of the
courtry, nnd their sympathy for Cuba
Is terrptred with considerations for
their own material welfare.
In harmony with these are conserva
tive senators on the Republican side,
like Hanna and Elkins, Aldrlch, Alli
son, Piatt and McMillan.
In the house it would be a different
story, for there the feeling is more in
tense for Cuban independence, and
even those who have hitherto been
regarded as conservative are now Intol
erant of any talk which looks like com
promise. The president, therefore, in spite of
his personal Inclination, and the pres
sure from members of his cabinet and
certain business interests. Is not by
any means committed to the tempor
ary autonomy scheme, and it is not
at all certain that he will formally
propose it t'o congress. One member of
the cabinet, who Is not In sympathy
with It, declared with emphasis that
no such plan will be endorsed by the
president.
"That Is a question," he said, "for
Spain and Cuba to settle between
themselves. The administration Is not
committed to any policy having In view
an Implied betrayal of the Cuban cause.
When the president's work is accom
plished, the American people will be
satisfied with the results."
The administration is exceedingly
anxious to hit upon a solution for the
Cuban problem at once, and 'the nego
tiations and cabled communications
for the past two days have had this end
In view. On Thursday the president
in talking with leading members and
senators was noticeably strong In his
determination to have no settlement of
tho question which did not involve the
complete independence and the driving
of Spain from the island. If he has
considered with any favor propositions
looking to a more moderate course,
that is due to his Intense desire to
close the business up at once.
There is reason to believe that Spain.
Is getting ready to surrender abso
lutely If the United States takes a firm
and unqualified position and that the
suggestions emanating from the Span
ish legation have for their object the
letting down easy of the government
at Madrid. The elections yesterday
having returned a strong liberal ma
jority to the Cortes with the assur
ance of a continuance In power, the
Spanish ministry may be more ready
to come to the terms dictated by the
administration. It Is known that the
response of Spain to our latest note
Is very peaceful and that it Indicates
a disposition to yield to our demands.
It looks now like a collapse on the
part of the government at Madrid and
it would not be strange to see a com
plete surrender almost any day.

Philadelphia, March 28. Judges Gor
don and Bregy today resumed the
judiclnl inquiry into the alleged bribery
and Improper influences by which the
Schuylkill Valley Water company's hill
leasing the city water works was
pushed In councils up to a vote on final
passage, but which was then indefi
nitely postponed. At the last session
Councilman Walker admitted receiving
$500 for his vote in committee nnd
Councilman Clay charged Nelson G.
Green, of New York, counsel for the
company, of having told him that it
cost 15,000 or $20,000 to get the bill
through the water committee.
Mayor Charles P. Warwick, and Dr.
William P. Pepper, ex-provost of the
University of Pennsylvania, told of
their connection with Mr. Green. Dr.
Pepper said he met him through Judge
Henry Green, of the Pennsylvania
Supreme court, who arranged a con
ference at' the witness' office. Judge
Green took no other part In the con
ference than to introduce Nelson G.
Green. The latter endeavored to secure
witness' Influence In favor of the bill,
but without success.
GREEN WELL POSTED.
Mayor Warwick said he was intro
duced to Nelson G. Green by Judge
Green. After the latter had left the
mayor's office Nelson Green spoke of
the Schuylkill Valley hill. The witness
then expalned that at this time coun
cils was endeavoring to pass a big loan
bill In which $3,000,000 was to be used
to improve the water supply. Coun
cils' right to borrow the money was
questioned and the matter was ulti
mately carried to the Supreme court,
where It was decided that the people
must first authorize the loan. This was
in May of last year. At 10 o'clock on
the morning that the decision was
handed down in Ilarrisburg, Nelson G.
Green came Into witness' office and
told him the decision of the Supreme
court, at the same time handling him a
copy of It. The mayor after glancing
at it handed it back, whereupon Nel
son Green told him the court had Just
handed It down. The mayor asked hln)
by what right he had the opinion in
his possession at the hour it was being
handed down In Ilarrisburg, and de
manded that he hand it over to him.
Green put It In his pocket and would
not allow the mayor again to look at it.
The inquiry was then adjourned un
til Friday morning, the district attor
ney saying tho Introduction of other
testimony might interfere with the
trial of Peter E. Smith tomorrow.
Smith Is charged with attempted brib
ery in connection with the bill.
Judge Green and Nelson G. Green'are
not related.

GERSON'S,
CITY'S FISCAL YEAR.
It Comes to nn End Next .llonduy nt
Noon.
The city's fiscal year ends next Mon
day noon and to the nearness of the
d.ate Is due some anxiety as to the fate
of many unapproved ordinances, reso
lutions nnd other papers which have
been waiting one week for final con
sideration by the mayor.
Among the measures are several of
Importance, a number greater than
usually awaits the mayor's decision at
one time. To a Tribune reporter Mayor
Bailey yesterday said he would finally
dispose of nearly all the papers before
him by Thursday night. He declined
to Intimate what measures would not
be given final disposition on or before
that day, but they are presumed to be
the two Nineteenth Sewer district or
dinances, one creating the district and
one providing for the sewers. Other
papers he may be undecided about or
have determined not to approve, but
they are none of them important. That
Mayor Bailey will sign the ordinance
granting the Dunn Street Sprinkling
company the exclusive right to sprinkle
the streets, is presumed.
Those measures' now awaiting signa
ture and In which the greatest Inter
est is centered are the following ordi
nances: Providing for a sewer on
North Main avenue, Providence road
and Phllo street; providing for the pav
ing of Providence road and North Main
avenue from Court street to the city
line; providing for sidewalks on West
Linden street, between Ninth Btreet
and North Main avenue; providing for
sidewalks and paved gutters and the
setting of curbstones on the easterly
