o » \ THE SPANISH CRISIS. lilo ProteSt From the United States ' Against, Weyler. CANOVAS MAY ‘ TRY AGAIN De Lorne Tired of His Arduous Duties In W’ashington 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 dei 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 late from the government of the United States disapproving of the retention of General VVeyler as captain general of Cuba is semiofficialiy denied. Financial Supplies Voted. The queen regent of Spain has ac- cepted the resignations of Prime Min- lster 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. -1?” .l-‘ } Much Interest In “'ashington. Washington, June 4.—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 Lorne in Washington. In the event of a complete change of ministry, with a Liberal pre- mier and cabinet, it is understood that Senor de Lome will place himself at me 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 Lome would be glad to’ relinquish the onerous du ies at his post here and return to Madrid. Havana Bitter Against Americans. Havana. June -.—’J.‘he 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 be” 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 Comn fission In Paris. Paris, June 4.-4Senator E. O. Wolcott, General Charles J.

The reception of the delegates was extremely cordial. Great Tower Burned. VVatex-iown, N. Y... June 4.-The 200 foot tower on the Dexter Sulphite, Pulp and Paper company’s mill, at Dexter, was burned.

Fatal Collapse of a Big Soap Factory In ‘ ' New York. New York, June 4.—The third floor of a new soap factory building nearly fin- ished, at Fifty-first street and Twelfth avenue, collapsed with an iron tank containing 20,000 gallons of water just before 10 o’clock.

The building was jusr about com- pleted, and occupied about 200 by 150 feet on made ground. Foreman Jackson, who was an the third floor at the time of the accident. says that immediately before the tanks fell he saw three or four men working on the floor beneath him. He thinks they were carpenters. It is also said that a millwright and an elevator man were in that part of the building at the time of the collapse, and they have not been seen since. The police arrested the watchman, whose name is Doyle; Foreman John Jackson, and Superintendent Macy, all the men they could find about the building who were not ordinary work- ingmen.
