French Chamber of Deputies
Greatly Disturbed.
REVISION OF CONSTITUTION I’ROPOSED‘
ll‘he Coming of the Sfax With Cap-
tain Dreyfus on Board Eagerly
Awaited—Authorities- Re-
fuse Information.
PARIS, June 28.,—There was great ex-
citement at the reassembling of the
chamber of deputies yesterday. The per-
sistent obstruction on the part of the
members of the Right and the Socialists
created a prolonged uproar, in conse-
quence of which the president suspended
the sitting. The direct cause of the up-
.roar was that Paul Deroulede had pro-
.posed a revision of the constitution.
After the resumption of the sitting the
chamber, by a vote of 397 to 70. refused
Aurgency for Deroulede's proposition, and
the incident terminated. Ordinary busi-
ness was then taken up.
M. Clemenceau, in the Aurore, says» he
.regrets that the government’s majority in
the chamber was not larger, but declares
that it is large enough to save the repub-
lic. It is composed entirely of stalwarts.
He gives ungrudging praise to MM. Wal-
deck-Rousseau, Brisson and Viviani, but
pours contempt on the “runaway Bour—
,geois” and those who were not present
..in their seats in the chamber.
As a result of an altercation in the
"chamber of deputies between M. Ber-
;teaux (Socialist) and M. Millevoye (Re-
:publican Nationalist) these two deputies
will fight a duel with swords today.
Awaiting the Sfox.
BREST, France, June 2S.—The delay
in them-rival here of the French cruiser
Sfax, which left the waters of French
:Guiana June 10 with Captain‘Alfred
:Dreyfus on board, increases the interest
in the landing of the famous prisoner.
All sorts of reports and suppositions are
,current. For the moment attention is
"concentrated on the putting to sea yes-
:terday afternoon of a lighthouse relief
:steamer. Such vessels usually start in
"the morning and return in the evening.
Consequently the departure of the steam-
er has given rise to the conjecture that
she has gone to meet the Sfax and that
Ereyfus will be transferred on beard of
er.
:The authorities continue refusing to
-g'furn'ish the slightest information regard-
; .ing‘Dreyfus to the regular army of news-
paper men of all nationalities now gath—
.ered here anxiously seeking news of the
.Sfax. .

THE CIENFUEGOS TROUBLE.
Clash Between Ponce and Civilians
Investigated—Velasco’s Bones. “
HAVANA, June 28.—-Major General
Wilson, military governor of the depart-
ment of Matanzas-Santa Clara, immedi-
ately on hearing of the collision between
Americans and Cubans at Cienfuegos on
Saturday night, started for that point to
make a thorough investigation.
or General Brooke has received from him
the following telegram explaining the af-
fair: . \
“Saturday was a «gala day in Cienfue-
gos, and many of the people indulged in
drinking. Among them were three civil-
ian employees of the quartermaster’s de-
partment—not soldiers, as was at first
supposed. The trouble between the men
and the police resulted in a series of ac-
cidents, without any preconceived design
or purpose.
, “The Spaniard who was killed was en-
tirely innocent of any participation. He
was driving near by with his children and
was struck by a stray shot fired by some
person unknown as yet. . Judge Advocate
Carbough is making a thorough inquiry.
Captain Fenton, the commissary, ’has
been relieved of duty and will face a
court martial for interfering with the va
lice and endeavoring to assist the escape
of prisoners. Lieutenant Catlin of the
Tenth infantry has been relieved of the
cammand of the guard of, Major Raffer-
ty’s pay train and will face charges of
leaving his post without authority. The
three policemen who began the firing
without justification are under arrest and
will be tried. Efforts will be made to ar-
rest the civilians, rural guards and Cuban
soldiers who were implicated, but these
will probably not succeed, owing to the
lack Of” proof. The men who were the
original cause of the trouble will be dis-
missed when their punishment is over
and will be deported from the island.
“Senor Pablo Santa Maria, the wealthy
Spanish planter who was wounded, died
the same night and was buried yesterday.
His funeral was largely attended. The
people are naturally indignant, but they
are quiet.”
Several weeks ago what are supposed
to be the bones Of Velasco, the defender
of Morro Castle in 1702, when Havana
was captured by the British under Admi-
ral Pococke and Lord Albemarle, were
discovered under the floor of the custom
house. i
The physicians decided that the bones
were human remains. The tombstone
shows the shield of Spain, but the rest of
the inscription is cffaced. The grave was
between two others. After along discus-
sion it was decided that the remains
should be sent to Spain. _
THE SPANISH CRISIS.
The Antibudget Riots Discussed by
Cortes.
MADRID, June 28.———The disturbances
at Saragossa were excitedly discussed
yesterday in the chamber of deputies.‘
Senor Romero y Robledo asked if it were
true that eight had been killed and 40
wounded. Senor Dato, minister of the
interior, replied in the negative.
Lieutenant General Polavieja, minister
of war, read the latest dispatches, show-
ing that two generals, one aid de camp,
several officers and four soldier's had been -
injured, the soldiers seriously.
Senor Romero y Robledo thereupon
asked whether the unanimous demonstra-
tion of the commercial community had
not made the government pause and con-
sider that the outbreaks might end in
revolution. He urged the ministers to
yield their places to those able to present
better solutions. In conclusion he asked
if it were true that the minister of war
had demanded an extraordinary credit of
160,000,000 pesetas for the construction
of fortifications. '
The minister of war replied that the
project had not yet been presented, but
was under consideration.
Senor Romero y Robledo advised him
not to present it.
The premier, Senor Silvela, said the
government's first duty was not to make
declarations, but to restore order. The
Igovernment‘s existence depended on its
power to pi‘ésent a satisfactory budget.
He declared that he would labor to extri-
cate Spain from her present position even
at the cost of his life’s blood. The debate
I was then dropped.
A similar discussion took place in the
senate. where Senor Silvela defended the
government and repudiated any idea of
becoming a dictator. He said he had a
horror of all dictatorships. The govern—
ment, however, would make the essen-
tials of the budget a question of confi-
dence, although modifications would be
accepted. .
Must Declare Intentions.
“’ASHINGTON; June 28.—The Span-
ish government is about to take steps to
determine how many Spanish born resi-
dents of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phil-
ippines intend to maintain their alle-

for this was made in the treaty of Paris,
f which allows one year from the date of
