tion Expected in Four Weeks.
Washington, April 21. Tho Spanish
government within tho next four weeks
will put Into oxecution a oomprohenslvo
system of home rulo or autonomy for tho
Islnml of Cuba. Thoro Is good reason to
bollovo thnt tho state department has re
ceived from Madrid Information to this
effect. In any event this Important movo
Is assured. It promlsos to bring; to nu early
termination tho Irritation aud Motion
which has oxlstcd for many months bo
tween tho United States and Spain, and to
replaco this feollng with ono of a frlondly
and amlcablo nature
Tho law which will bo put Into effect
was slgnod by tho queen regent of Spain
on March 15, 1895, and will bo followod by
rules aud regulations dovoloptug tho pres
ent scheme of reforms. By tho time the
queen regent makes her address to tho
SpanUh oortos, which will ossomblo May
11, tho law will bo promulgated through
out Cuba, and the long expected policy of
homo rulo for Cuba will bo realized.
Tho law la very elaborate In its provis
ions. Tho eloment of homo rulo Is secured
by tho establishment of two local bodies,
drawn largely If not ontlroly, from resi
dents of Cuba. Ono of theso Is to bo known
as tho provincial chamber of deputies and
tho othor as tho council of administration.
Tho latter has appellato jurisdiction over
tho former. Largo powers aro granted to
tho council of administration In the In
ternal management of public affairs, but
tho governor general will contlnuo as tho
supremo representative of Spain on tho
Island, and will havo direct chargo of mili
tary, naval and international questions.

nine of tho thlrtoon men on board tho
gunboat wero killed, and on board tho

As tho ammunition supply on both ves-
sels.'wns exhausted, tho gunboat steamed
away and roturned tho noxt day with n
fresh stock of cartridges, resolved to muko

only had four mon, Including Lioutonant

Citizens Protest Against the School
Board's Present Plans.
THEY SUGGEST SOMETHING NEW.
It Is Urged That it Will be Cheaper to
do
All Building at One Time-Enlarge
the High School Addition or Build
on White Street.
When, at its last meeting, tho School Hoard
lcclded to go ahead with tho construction of
tho High school oxtcntion and lcavo tho
rcction of tho new Whito street school
building for future consideration ninny
peoplo accepted tho actum as a death blow to
tho White street project for at least another
ear. Hut so many citizens and others In
terested in tho public schools have raised a
protest since that meeting it is qulto likely
that anuther program may be arranged. It
Is an IndHpuUitilo fact that tho present num
ber of school rooms In tho town is far below
what it should be for the attendance, and the
enforcement of tho compulsory educatloual
bill will make the situation more perplexing.
It Is surprising that so many citizens havo
taken a direct Interest in the matter and it is
illlllcult to sco how tho School Hoard can
breast tho sentiment that now prevails and
not alter tho plan9 decided upon at its last
meeting.
Among tho suggestions miulo hy several
citizens is that the erection of the White
street school building bo pushed, or arrange
ments bo made to make the addition to the
High school building larger than now pro
posed. Jlr. Seymour Davis, tho Philadel
phia architect who is in chargo of tho work
now under consideration, arrived In town
thisaftcrnooii and, with somo of tho School
Directors, made nn inspection' of tho High
school building with a view to determining
what kind, of an increased addition can bo
arranged, and the approximate cost.
Tho grounds upon which several citizens
aso their protests against tho present plans
are that it will bo cheaper to do tho whole
work at once and not niako two hues at tho
cherry;" nud that as mure school room is an
absolute necessity the School Hoard should
not much In providing it, even though a
dilllcult financial problem presents itself.
They also add that the school district is in
a better position to-day to build a six-room
school building than the borough was five
or six years ago to undertake tho erection of
public water works.
