CDBA'S COKSTiTDTION

Independence Declared by the Insurgents,

A NEW REPUBLIC FORMED.

Supreme Power Vented iu a Miniaterial Council of Six—Judicial Authority Independent of All Others—An American on

Trial in Havana—Spanish Vessels Over

due—other Cuban War News. NEW YORK, Oct. 17.—The Herald

The text follows: "The revolution for the independence and creation in Cuba of a democratic republic, initiated the 24tli day of February last, surely declared the separation of Cuba from the Spanish monarchy. "We, elected delegates of the revolution. in couvention assembled, have now formed a compact between the world aud Cuba, and pledge themselves to the iollowiug articles of the constitution of tlie new Cuban republic: "Article 1—The supreme power of the republic will be vested in a council of ministers, composed of a president, a vice president and four secretaries, for the dispatch of business of war, of the interior, of foreign affairs aud of agriculture.

TRIAL OF SANGU1LLY.

An American Citizen Charged With Being a Rebel. HAVANA, Oct. 17.—In the trial of

General Julio Sanguilly, an American citizen, on the charge of rebellion against the Spanish government, the attorney general, Senor Enjulo, in concluding his argument yesterday, asked that the sentence of imprisonment for life be imposed upon the' prisoner, Senor Enjulo made the following conclusions: "First, Julio Sanguilly, an American citizen, since 1889, is a born resident of this island and was, up to his arrest on Feb. 24, of this year, one of the most energetic ringleaders and instigators of the armed revolution that siAp said date has broken out against th^mother country with the aim of obtaining the independence of Cuba. He was chosen to take the lead in this province and those of Matanzas and St. Clara, and was named as chief leader and delegate of the revolutionary junta of New York, and having the power of appointing here the leaders he thought proper. Among those whoui he selected was Colonel Jose V. Ascuy. "Secoud, these crimes constitute the

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN THURSDAY OCT:!?, 1895,

crime of rebellion which is provided for in Article 237 and the following paragraphs and by Article 238 of the penal code. "Third, Julio Sanguilly is responsible for having directly taken part in the rebellion. "fourth, there are no circumstances penning to mitigate the punishment which he has justly incurred and which I demand the court to inflict upon him, namely imprisoned for life, as provided for in Article 53 of the penal code, and that he be sentenced to pay half of the expenses of the trial."

The defense of the prisoner is not known. Julio Sanguilly, it is claimed, has a very bad record and it has been reported that the Cubans have threatened to assassinate him if he was released from custody. R« was arrested in Havana during the mouth of February last with Aguirra, Ramonperez, Trujilio and others, and was incarcerated in the Cabanas prisou on the charge of having rebelled against the Spanish government. Sanguilly fought with zeal and courage during the revolt of 1868, and rose from a private soldier to the rank of general. But his conduct recently has not met with the approval of the patriots. He is said to have been short in his accounts with a railroad company at Havana a few years ago, and it is claimed that he gambled a wav half of the funds collected by Manuel Garcia, which were given into his care to be used in the cause of Cuba, and some surprise was expressed at the fact that he was granted citizenship papers in New York. Tlieu again, a rumor was circulated in Havana some time after his arrest, that he had been paid $25,000 by the Spanish government, guaranteed protection and offered a position in the Phillipi islands.

In any case Sanguilly, after b°ing taken into custody, appealed to Consul General Williams at Havana, and the latter cabled to the state department at Washington soon afterward that the American citizenship of the prisoner having been established to the satisfaction of the captain general of Cuba, his trial in accordance with treaty stipulations had been transferred from the courtmartial to the civil tribunal. This was iu March last. In May the general's eldest son, a boy of 15, was also locked up in the Cabanas fortress to prevent him, it was presumed, from celling what he knew of his father's affairs to the revolutionists. Later in the same month Sanguilly, was reported to be dying of consumption and another story had it that he was to be taken to Spain and liberated. His trial commenced on May 30 and now seems to be upon the point of closing.

REFORM IN ARMENIA

Some Hope For the Christians at Last.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS AWAITED.

Great Britain, France aud Russia .Have Forced Upon the Sultan a Plan That,

Enforced, Will Afford Justice to the Downtrodden—A Christian Will Execute

the New Lawn. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 17.—Said Pa

sha has accepted the scheme for reform in Armenia drawn up by Great Britain, France aud Russia aud it now awaits the signature of the sultuu. The scheme is almost identical With the proposals of last May, which, in substance, were that the governors aud vice governors of Van, Erzeroum. Sivas, Bitlis, Khartut and Trebizoud be Christian or Mussulman, according to the inclination of,the population but either the governor or the vice governor is to be a Christian and the appointments are to be confirmed by the powers.

Local and not state officials are to collect the taxes and enough money is to be retained before it is iorwarcleu to Constantinople to pay the expenses of local administration. Complete changes will be made in the judicial system, torture will be abolished, the prisons will be under surveillance, the police will be composed of Christians and Turks equally and the laws against compulsory conversions to Islaniism will be strictly enforced.

The ambassadors of the powers expect that the whole question will be finally settled during the course of the week by the promulgation of an imperial decree. Contrary to general expectations, the high commissioner, who will be charged with the execution of this scheme of reform, will be a Christion. This was tho hardest pill for the porte to swallow and for a long time it threatened to bring about the most serious complications.

LOYAL LEGION.

General John Gibbon Elected to the Office of Graud Commander. WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.—The com-

mandery-in-chief of the Loyal Legion of the United States met in biennial session at the Arlington hotel yesterday, General Lucius Fairchild, grand commander, presiding. There were 77 delegates present, representing every state in the Union, except Oregon. There were three aspirants for election to the office of grand commander and the first ballot resulted as follows: General Miles, 26 votes General John Bibbon, 16, and General Swayne, 11. General Swayne's name being dropped, General Gibbon was elected on the second ballot, receiving 30 votes to 20 for General Miles.

General Miles lacked only one vote of election on the lirsu bahot and it is believed would have succeeded on the second but for the superior age of Gen-eral-Gibbon, which influenced many of the delegates who otherwise would have cast their ballots for Miles, to vote for Gibbon.

A committee consisting of Generals Hubbard and Varney, Major Hayden, Colonels Woodward and Davis was appointed, to pass upon the eligibility of applicants for membership.
