THE SPANISH CRISIS.
_..__.__—
No Protest From the United States
Against Weyler.
CANOVAS MAY TRY AGAIN.
De Lome Tired of His Arduous Duties In
\Vashington and Ready to Go
Home—Havana Paper’s At-
tack Upon General Lee.
Madrid, June 4.—The resignation of
the cabinet and the general state of po—
litical uneasiness absorb public atten-
tion here. The retiring premier, Senor
Canovas del Castillo, in an interview,
is quoted as saying that not even the
members of the cabinet knew of his in-
tention to resign until his resignation
had been effected.
The published statement that the
Spanish government has received a
note from the government of the United
States disapproving of the retention of
General Weyler as captain general of
Cuba is semiofficialiy denied.
Financial Supplies Voted.
The queen regent of Spain has ac-
cepted the resignations of Prime Min-
ister Canovas del Castillo and his cabi-
net, after asking him to retain office
one day, so that the matter might be
considered in council. The prime min—
ister resigned because he could not un-
dertake to re-establish relations with
the Liberals. Both houses of the cortes
[voted the financial supplies necessary
'to enable the cortes to adjourn sine die,
and also granted authority for the issue
of treasury bonds and the contraction
of loans to cover the expenses of the
wars in Cuba and the Philippine is—
lands. The queen regent then signed a
decree suspending the sittings.
The Conservative papers express the
belief that if the Liberals enter power
the chambers will shortly be dissolved.
Senor Sagasta and the other Liberal
leaders will not make any statements
pending the decision of the crown. Sev-
eral lists of probable ministers have
been made, in the event of the forma-
tion of a Liberal cabinet, but not one of
them has any claim to be regarded as
authoritative.
There is no doubt entertained, how-
ever, that Senor Sagasta will undertake
to form a cabinet if the queen regent
intrusts him with the task. In any case,
. it is expected that the crisis will be set-
tled by Saturday.
Much Interest In Washington.
Washington, June I4.—The resignation
of the Canovas cabinet at Madrid ex-
cites much interest in official quarters
here, owing to its possible effect upon
the policy of Spain toward Cuba and
the attitude of the United States toward
the conflict. Minister Dupuy de Lome
will not discuss the situation publicly,
but those who are near to him say that
he takes the change philosophically and
is not greatly surprised. Among offi-
cials who are familiar with the status
of affairs it is believed that the change
will not involve any radical departure
from the present policy of Spain on
Cuba. The View is expressed that the
queen will invite Canovas to form a new
ministry and that the premier will then
overcome the friction which led up to
the present crisis by omitting from the
new cabinet those elements which caus-
ed the personal rupture.
Naturally the question has arisen as
to the effect of the change upon the
stay of Minister Dupuy de Lome in
Washington. In the event of a complete
change of ministry, with a Liberal pre-
mier and cabinet, it is understood that
Senor de Lorne will place himself at the
V disposal of the new government so that
it will be free to, continue his service
or accept his resignation as it sees fit.
It is understood that personally Minis-
ter de Lorne would be glad to relinquish
the onerous duties at his post here and
return to Madrid.
Havana Bitter Against Americans.
Havana. June 4.—The angry feeling
against Americans in Cuba is increas-
ing, as shown by the heated utterances
of some of the newspapers of Cuba. The
Diario de la Marina shows bitterness
against the American newspaper cor-
respondents who have hem sending re-
ports tO their papers of the Calhoun-
Lee-Congosto investigation into the
death of Dr. Ricardo Ruiz, and trains
its journalistic guns upon General Fitz—
Hugh Lee, charging him with ignorance
of the Spanish language and with being
surrounded by Americans born in Cuba
who are generally hostile to the Span-
ish government. The Diarlo reflects
upon his judgment, and prints a letter
from a correspondent in Santa Clara
making a savage attack upon the Unit—
ed States consul at Sagua la Grande,
Mr. Walter B. Barker, and reflecting
upon the honesty and good faith of the
reports of Mr. Barker to his govern-
ment.
Hoffman’s Clerk Suspected.
San Francisco, June 4.—The police are
avowedly mystified regarding the death
of Isaac Hoffman, wholesale clothing
dealer; in his Battery street office. The
autopsy shows that it was almost a
physical impossibility that the wounds
could have been self inflicted. Acting
upon the theory that Hoffman was mur-
dered, the suspicion of the police turns
most naturally toward Theodore A.
Figel, who last saw the merchant alive.
Figel is bookkeeper, cashier and confi-
dential clerk for the firm of Hoffman &
Rothschild.
Bimetallic Commission In Paris.
Paris, June 4.-—Senator E. O. Wolcott,
General Charles J. Paine and ex-Vice
President Stevenson, the American bi-
metallic delegation, were received by
President Faure. Mr. Stevenson handed
Pfesident Faure ’a letter from President
McKinley accrediting the delegation,
and the French president, acknowledg-
ing the communication, promised to
favor a settlement of the international
bimetallic question. The reception of
the delegates was extremely cordial.
. Great Tower Burned.
Watertown, N. Y., June 4.—The 200
foot tower on the Dexter Sulphite, Pulp
and Paper company’s mill, at Dexter,
was burned. Eighty men are thrown
out of employment.
Business Troubles.
New Haven, June 4.—-—Bradstreet’s
mercantile agency reports the business
failures in Connecticut for May as 29 in
number, with assets of $158,150 and lie.-
bilities of $446,900.

IIIII BROOKLYN SIRS.
lit" to Participate In the Queen’s J ubi-
lee Celebration.
A CREDIT TO THE NEW NAVY
The Big Armored Cruiser Is the Most
Formidablc American Ship Ever
Sent Across the Sea. For
John Bull to Examine.
Brooklyn, June 4.—With the flag of
Rear Admiral Miller flying from the
foremast the armored cruiser Brook—
lyn, which is to represent the American
navy at the ceremonies in connection
with the queen’s jubilee, sailed for Eng—
land. The cruiser, which is in splendid
condition, will proceed directly to South—
ampton. The report that she was to be

THE CRUTSER BROOKLYN.
raced across the Atlantic was denied by
Admiral Miller. The Brooklyn has a
speed record of over 22 knots an hour.
She will reach Southampton in about
nine days. One of the most notable
features of the jubilee will be the grand
naval review, which is to be held in the
English channel at Spithead.
The cruiser bears as commander in
chief Rear Admiral J. N. Miller, who
will be the naval representative of the
government at the Victorian jubilee,
General Nelson A. Miles being the mil-
itary and Whitelaw Reid the civil rep-
resentative.
Our Most Powerful Cruiser.
In the' Brooklyn the British will see
the. most powerful American warship
yet sent to their home shores. Her dis-
placement is 9,271 tons, whereas that of
the armored cruiser New York, which
went to the Kiel celebration, is only
8,200 tons, and her main battery con—
sists of 20 guns, while the New York’s
has only 18. Her name is likely to yield
her some distinction among men fa—
miliar with the operations of sea power,
for it is that of Farragut’s old flagship,
and in Mobile bay Farragut’s old flagn
ship showed the possibility of passing
in a difiicult channel well fortified in-
trenchments and successfully encoun—
tering ironclads with wooden ships.
Money For Social Expenses.
It is required of this other Brooklyn
that on her present mission she shall do
a part befitting the United States in
the naval jubilation at Portsmouth. To
that end congress has allowed the flag-
ship a moderate special appropriation
to be spent in entertaining. Admiral
Miller said that he could not give the
details of this prospective hospitality.
Until she reaches Southampton and
Admiral Miller shall have called upon
the American embassador and British
admiralty in London it will not be
known just what will constitute that
programme. But the Officers Of the
Brooklyn, flag and ship, will recipro-
cate “all social attention they may re-
ceive at the jubilee.
The Jubilee Naval Festivities.
From Southampton the Brooklyn will
go, on June 24, to Portsmouth, where
all the warships will rendezvous, and be
in time for the admiralty banquet on
the day following. On Saturday, June
26, the naval review will take place;
on Tuesday. June 29, there will come
the Whale island garden party; on the
next evening in Portsmouth there is to
be an admiralty ball, and a day or so
later the corporation of Portsmouth
will entertain detachments of men from
all the visiting warships. Between
times there will be dinners and like
courtesies exchanged on shipboard, and
wardroom will entertain wardroom.
By July 1 all the celebration will be
over, and the Brooklyn Will at once re-
turn and take her place with the home
fleet, arriving here on or about July 15.
Alexandria’s Big Blaze.
Alexandria, Va., June 4.—Fire which
broke out in Bryant’s fertilizer mill
and raged with great fury for about
eight hours caused a total damage of
from $450,000 to $500,000, partly insured.
The entire block bounded by the Strand,
Duke, Union and Prince streets was
almost completely wiped out, only one
warehouse, with its contents, being
saved. From the Byrant place the
flames gained in fury and swept to the
Old Dominion Brass works, the Old
Dominion Boat club, De Aitchison’s
coal yard, the Godfrey Laundry com—
pany and the Old Pioneer mills, all be-
ing quickly gutted. The fire extended
for almost two blocks along the river
and burned most of the wharfs to the
water’s edge.

Pillsbury’s Wonderful Play.
Washington, June 4.—A wonderful
record in chess playing was made by
H. N. Pillsbury, the expert, at the
Washington Chess club. He played
simultaneously 30 chess and 6 checker
games, many of his contestants being
chess experts in this city. After five
hours’ consecutive playing Pillsbury
won 27 games at chess and 4 at check-
ers. Three chess games and one check-
er game resulted in a draw and one
checker game was lost. a
