DISCONTENT lN SPAIN
Failure of Autonomy ls Acknowl-
edged by Madrid Press. '
NEW BLUFF AT £011.03 MADE
Another Fifteen Thousand Troops 1V1“.
Be Sent to the Islandulllinistry Leav-
ing Cuban Loyalists to Ben}- the Brunt
of the War.
Madrid, Feb. 5.— newspapers
' generally are pessimistic in regard to
the situation in Cuba. The falure of
Gen. Blanco’s mission in the East has
created a bad impression here. The
Spanish had expected much from au-
tonomy, but they are beginning to see
what the world had long ago perceived
—that autonomy was doomed to fail-
ure. The newspapers now say that
there will be great difficulty in the pa-
cification of the island.
Simultaneously with ths acknowl-
edgement comes the report. that 15,000
troops will shortly be dispatched to
Cuba. .This move indicates that the
Government has ecided to make one
iast desperate effort to crush the re~
bellion by force of arms. The Govern-
ment, heretofore, had refused all of
Gen. Blanco’s requests for reinforce-
ments, and“ it was stated positively
that no more troops would be sent to
Cuba.
The Cuban war, which has now last—
ed about three years, has cost Spain
according to an official statement, just
$240,000,000—about $80,000,000 a year.
Nearly 225,000 men have been sent to
the island, and of these about one-half
are left fit for duty. Death, desertion
and sickness account for the others.
The war has been a costly one for
Spain and even Spaniards are wonder—
ing if she can continue it any length
of time.
At a recent meeting in Saragossa a
resolution was passed asking the Gov-
ernment to abolish the right to pur-
chase freedom from military service.
“If the rich as well as the poor,” one
of the speakers said, “had been obliged
to go to Cuba the war would have long
ago been ended. Our popular classes
ought in future to refuse to give their
sons to the country if the rich are al-
lowed to buy their freedom for a paltry
sum.‘
After all the “popular classes” here
need not make great efforts to put a
stop to the sending of fresh reinforce-
ments to the Spanish army in Cuba.
The tendency of the Ministry is to
strengthen the Cuban local govern-
ment, so as to enable it to deal with
the rebellion with as little assistance
from Spain as possible.
SPAIN ARMS A LINER.
Steamship Ciudad de Cadiz Drafted Into
Service as a Cruiser.
Barcelona, Spain, Feb. 5.—The Pre-
fect has stopped the departure from
ihis port of the Spanish steamer Ciudad
de Cadiz and has returned the fares of
passengers booked to sail on board of
her. She will be armed and used as
a. cruiser to escort the Spanish torpedo
flotilla to Cuba. .
The Ciudad de Cadiz is a Spanish
steamer which has been recently in the
trade between Bareclona and Havana.
She is of 1,845 tons register.
I’m-tends a Rupture With America.
Washington, Feb. 5,—A declaration of
war from Spain would scarcely have
surprised Washington more than did
the news that the Havana steamship
Ciudad de Cadiz is to be transformed at
Barcelona into a cruiser to escort the
Spanish torpedo flotilla to Cuban wa-
ters. There had been no previous in-
timation that the Madrid Government
intended to lutilize'th’e merchant ma-
rine in preparing for war.
State Department officials frankly
admit that no reasonable explanation
of this action isapparent.
In Congressional circles the drafting
of the Ciudad de Cadiz is regarded as
an indication that matters are prog—
ressing toward an open rupture be—
tween the United States and Spain. A
great majority of the. Senators and
Representatives prefer to believe as
they hope; they want a speedy settle-
ment of the Spanish-Cuban question,
and care little how it is accomplished.
Senor De Lome, the Spanish Minister,
says he knows nothing about it.‘ He
has received no communication on the
subject. I

The sale was a splendid financial suc-
cess, and showed that there is plenty of
money left in New York. in spite of the
new tariff and the hard times among
the poor. The total for the evening
was $268,395. This, added to the total
of the preceding evening of $132,940,
makes a grand total of $401,335 for the
benefit of the estate of the late William

THE HAWNNNTREETY
HOWTHE SENATORS STAND
' votes Are Claimed by the Friends of
Anuexation--The Japanese Agreement
Has Had a Good Effect.
Washington, Feb. 5.—Now that' the
Friends of the Hawaiian annexation
ireaty are confident of a two-thirds
vote in the Senate for ratification, the
:reaty’s enemies are trying a new
scheme for delay. Among the Sena-
tors who favor the treaty- there are
some who have other axes to grind,
1nd the anti—annexationi‘sts are trying
to stir‘up these to obstruct the treaty,
1nd declare that nothing can be done
1bout Hawaii until their pet measures
ire acted upon. The’ two who seem to
1ave fallen into the trap of the oppo-
;ition are Senators Chandler and Ma—
;on, who, it is claimed, are contending
that nothing shall be done with the
Hawaiian treaty unless they get some
1ssurances of action on the Cuban
As the vote in the Senateis
so close, a defection of these two
would imperil the treaty, or at any
"ate, cause delay.
Those in charge of the treaty, how-
ever, intend to go ahead, urge its dis-
:ussion in the Senate,a and thus dispose
of a number of speeches which are bul-
‘etined against it. The announcement
of the settlement of the status of the
Iapanese in IHawaii has already had
good effect in the Senate, and 1emoves
one of the arguments used by the anti-
mnexationists.
Since the figures of friends of the
ireaty reached sixty votes, the requil—
ad two-thirds, there have been ru-
'nors about the Capitol of the inten-
tion of other Senators to vote for rati-
fication. Besides the names given, it
Is claimed that. Senators Daniel and
Roach are in the doubtful column and

is not thought that he will desert his
party and be the only one to do so, for
it is now announced that Senator More
while he may not vote for it, he Will
not be recorded against it.
President Dole, who has been here
for a. week, is preparing to leave to-
morrow night, and will return to San
Francisco by way of Buffalo. He has
had a most enjoyable visit, and it has
seen productive of good. The recep-
:ion given in his honor Thursday night
by Minister and Mrs. Hatch, of Ha-
waii, at the Arlington, was a very
brilliant affair, and was largely. at-
tended by members of Congress, diplo-
rnats, officers of the army and navy
and other distinguished people.
To, offet this social event, the papers
announce that ex-Queen Lilluokalanl
will give a reception at the Ebbitt
next Monday afternoon. Her Royal
Highness was not invited to the recep-
tion last night, and as President Dole
'eaves to—morrow night, he will not be
at the ex- Queen’s levee. The Presi—
1ent of Hawaii and the ex— Queen have
not exchanged visits.
President Dole will spend a few
lours in Philadelphia. to-day. He goes
)n private business, and will be ac-
companied by Lieutenant-Commander
Phelps, of the navy, who represents
the Government. Mr. Dole will re-
turn to WashingtOn in time for dinner.
ROW IN NEW YORK OVER SILVER.
Perry Belmont Defends Senator Murphy
and Says His Vote Was Consistent.
Albany, Feb. 5.—The Democrats in.
the Legislature were pleased to hear
from Assemblyman Donnelly yester-
day that he had received a letter from
ax-Congressman Perry .Belmont de-
fending the conduct of Senator Ed---
ward-Murphy, Jr., in voting for the
ranger resolution demanding the free
coinage of silver at a. ratio of 16 to 1.
Mr. Belmont is said to be a. possible
candidate for the Democratic nomina-
tion for Governor, and therefore his
letter will be read with especial inter-
est by Democrats. Moreover, since he
was a National Democrat in 1896, his
action in defending Senator Murphy
's considered especially noteworthy.
In his letter he cites at great length
the various votes which President Mc-
Kinley and other Republican leaders
have given in the past, in favor of the
tree coinage of silve r. Lastly... he
points cut that Senator Murphy sim-
ply voted for a resolution which vir-
tually favors keeping both the silver
dollar and the gold dollar at a. "par-
Tty.”
The Weeke’s resolution, censuring
Senator Murphy and calling for his
“esignation as Senator, will be debated
in the Assembly on Monday evening
next. The Senate will probably de-
bate at the same time a resolution in-
troduced by Senator Brush, also de-

WILL‘ roarsrALL 'GROKER
Anxious to Prevent Any Attempt .01
Eastern Democrats to Miodif'y the Chi-
cago Platform and to Put Down the
Figllt‘for Silver.
Washington, Feb. 15.—There is an un—
usual activity'among the silver men in
and out of Congress. Numerous con—
'1. "A? Z s; T 1.1.3 .1
ferences are being held between the
leaders of each of the three organiza—
tions—Democrats, silver Republicans
and Populists—which form the silvei
party. They are silent about their
work and are trying to avoid public
attention as far as possible, but they
are working very actively toward some
definite end. There has never been a
cemplete co-operation between these
organizations, though they have been
making common cause against the Re-
publican party, and what they are try-
ing to do now is, undoubtedly, to effect
a perfect union of their forces for the
Congressional . election,l which will
bring them more compactly together
for the Presidential election of 1900.
Nearly every day of late there has
been a great deal of passing back and
forth between the House and Senate,
and between the committee rooms on
the Senate! side over which the silver.
leaders preside. It is known, too, that
Mr. Bryan has been in close touch with J
what has been doing, and that it has '
not related to the Teller resolution or
to any legislation before Congress.
Chairman To“ ne, of the silver Repub--
lican National Committee, has been
here for two‘ weeks or more. Ex-Rep-
resentative Sibley, the silver leader of
Pennsylvania, appeared a day or two
ago and has been every day in the
company of the silver men in both the
House and Senate.
A dispatch from Blackfoot, Idaho,
yesterday, states that ex—Senator Du-
bois, of that State, who is chairman of
the silver Republican National Execu-
tive Committee, has started East and
will be here to confer with the other
silver leaders on the subect of union.
At the same time, it is reported that
Mr. Bryan is coming East to meet with
some of these gentlemen, either in
..W'asl‘lington or some other convenient
point.
The plobable significance of all this
is that they are planning to guard
against any effort that may be made
by such Eastern Democrats as Hill
and Murphy and Croker and Smith to
regain theii influence in the Democrat-
ic party, so as to overcome the Bryan
movement, and intend to seal the com-
pact for silver by binding more closely
together the three organizations in a
union \\ hich, while preserving each
separate organization will ins ule per-
fect co— —ope1ation and guard against a
multiplicity of candidates in the con—
test for the next Congress.
Some credence is given to a sugges-
tion that Croker is trying to break up
the silver forces in Illinois by playing
upon the vanity of young Mayor Har-
rison, and that there is a- possibility
that Harrison will co-operate with
Croker for a modification of the Chi—
cagoplatform and the defeat of Bryan.
It is said that Croker will be willing to
have the New York delegation to the
next Democratic national convention
support HarrisOn as 'a Presidential
candidate against Bryan, and that he
will expect to have the support of dele-
gations from ’other Eastern States
where there is a, strong desire to over~
throw Bryan. It is said that Croker
._calculates that ’Harrison'is in a po-
sition where he ought to be able to
control the Illinois delegation, and that
with this and the big Eastern delega-
tions he ought to make a very strong
showing.
It is evident whether there is any-
thing in this or not, that the Bryan
and Chicago people are not going to
take any chances, and that they are
working every hour to make the sil-
ver forces socompact that they can
hold together against both intrigue
and assault. The conferences now
in progress are undoubtedly of a char-
acter tending to utterly destroy the
influence in the Democratic party of
the Eastern conservatives w10 would
like to break the bond of sympathy
that unites the party, with the Popu-
lists and silver Republicans, and to re-
store the unity of the old Democratic
party on a more moderate platform.
It was stated yesterday that the sil- _
ver forces in the Senate are preparing
and will introduce a bill in the “enate
providing for the coinage of the silver
seignorage in the Treasury.

lNTl-SCllPlNG. BILL
Favorably. Reported to the Senate
From the Committee.
VOTE WAS EIGHT TO THREE
0
Several Amendments'ndopted, Especially
Relating to the Penalty and to Passes
---Ballroad Men Are Pleased-«The Cul-
. lom Bill to Be Pressed.
Washington, Feb. 4.—The Senate
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce decided yesterday by a vote
of 8 to 3 to’report favorably to the Sen-
ate the Anti-Scalping bill. The com-
mittee amended the‘bill slightly by re-
ducing the penalty for‘the first offense
from $1, 000 to $500 and striking out the '
imprisonment clause and mak-.-.,; the
second offense punishable by a fine of
$1,000. The other amendment related
to passes and Senator Chandler’s bill
introduced in the Fifty-second Con-
gress, which makes the issuing of
passes illegal, and also provides that
all passes issued shall be recorded with
names of persons receiving them, and
this record to be open at all times to
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The committee voted down the amend-
ment to open this record to the stock-
holders of the railroads.
The bill was also amended to prevent
any purchaser reselling a transferable
ticket in good faith to a person to use
in the prosecution of the journey, or,
in other words, when a ticket is sold
from terminus to terminus it must be
used by the person buying the ti- .
The. vote toreport showed all the
committee in favor of the bill except
Teller, Chilton and Chandler.
The committee also decided that the
Cullom bill to increase the duties of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
should be pressed at the same time as
the Anti-Scalping bill. This bill is one
to correct the duties of the commission
to conform to the recent decisions in
the courts. While some of the Senators
understood that this meant that both
bills should be considered in the Senate
together, the majority did not think
that the vote meant that the anti-
scalping bill would have to‘wait for the
Interstate Commerce bill, for as soon as
the Senate met this morning Senator
Cullom reported the Anti- Scalping bill
as amended to the Senate with the rec-
ommendation that it pass. The bill was
placed on the calendar.
There were a number of railroad men
at the Capitol waiting for the commit-
tee to decide on the bill, and they are
much pleased at the result. While one
or two of the amendments were not al-
together satiSfactory, they all expressed
themselves as gratified to get the bill
out of the committee with a favorable
report and before the Senate.
The following is the next of the
Chandler amendment in regard to
passes which was incorporated in the
bill:
“That giving free transportation to
persons or property, except as allowed
by Section 22 of the Act to regulate
commerce,” approved February 4,1887,
shall be deemed an unjust discrimina-
tion under Section'2 of said act, and
shall be punished as provided in Section
10 of said act; and in addition to the
penalties upon individuals provided in
Section 10, the corporations which may
be guilty of any such offense shall be
punished by fine as in said secti‘on pro-
vided. ,
“That all free passes issued by or on
behalf of any railroad corporation sub—
ject to the provisions of said act shall
be signed by some officer of the corpo-
ration authorized by vote of the direct-
ors to sign the same, and every such
railroad corporation shall keep a. rec~
, ord showing- the date of (every free pass,
the name of the person to whom it is
issued, the points between which the
passage is granted and whether a. single
trip or time pass, audit the latter, the
time for which it is issued, and this rec-
ord shall at all times be open to the In-
terstate Commerce Commissioners, or
to their representatives, who may be
duly authorized in writing to examine
the same.”

AGREEMENT WITH JAPAN.1
No Further Opposition to the Annexation
of Hawaii. .»
Washington, Feb. 4.——The opposition
of Japan to the annexation of Hawaii
by the United States has been removed.
This result has been attained by the
conclusion of an agreement between
this Government and Japan which by
practically settling the status of the
Japanese in Hawaii removes the only
substantial difference that has existed
between the two governments.
The exact basis 'of this agreement has,
not yet been made public, but the gen4
eral scope pf it is understood to be a
recognition of the rights of Japanese in
Hawaii to claim equal rights with Jap-
anese in the United States after the
taking effect of the treaty with Japan
proclaimed in 1895.

A Rainfall of Seeds.
- Some time ago the province of Mn.
cerata, in Italy, Was the scene of an ex-
traordinary phenomenon. Half an
hour before sunset an immense number
of small blood-colored clouds covered
the sky. About an hour later 3. cy- ’
clone storm burst, and immediately the
air became filled with myriads of small
seeds. 'The seeds fell Over town and
country, covering the ground to a
depth of about half an inch. The next
day the whole of the scientists of Mac-
erata Were abroad in order to find
some explanation. .
Professor Cardinali, a celebrated
Italian naturalist, stated that the seeds
were of the genus cercrs, commonly
- called Judas tree, andthat they belong- ..
ed to an ordel of legunainoss ae found
only in Central Africa or the A-.tii les.
It was found, upon examination, that
a great number of the seeds were actu-
ally in the first stage of germination.
