THE SPANISH THRONE.
All Egrspe Excited about Spain and Her
King---FraHee Preparing for War---The
Great Powers Taking Position.

PARIS, July SIN the Senate an
an Interpolation has been submitted
on the H0henzollern affair, and the
18th instant fixed as the day for dis
cussion. Nothing definite has been
heard to-day from Prussia.
Olezaga, the Spanish ambassador,
goes tonight to Madrid to endeavOr
to make arrangements to satisfy all
parties.
The ambassadors of Austria, Eng
land and Italy had a conference to-
day with the Duke of Grammont, and
they seem favorable to France.
The Russian Minister was received
to-day by G-ammont.
The Emperor held conference this
morning with the Ministers of War,
and Navy, and Justice.
Military measures are already men
toned. Two corps d'armee are
to be made ready for immediate move
ment. Marshal Bazaine will COM
mand one and General LeBaun the
other.
Marshal McMahon will have an
army and General lie B9uf will be
intrusted with an important COM
mand, while Count Palliksco will
take command of troops to operate
against Spain. Active preparations
are going on at seaPOrts.
One of the many reports III circula-
ton about Prince Leopold says he re-
fused Prim's offer of the crown twice,
but his sister, the Duchess of Flan-
ders, induced him finally to accept it.
1t is feared, If this prove true, that
Belgium viii be drawn into the con-
! fiict.
! A report has reached here from
Madrid that MOntpensier ordered his
adherents not to oppose HohenZol-
lern. The press of Madrid is divided
on the question of LeopOld's candida
ture. The Ep0ea opposed his eleva-
ton, but complains of France because
she acts as if the C0rtes had in no wise
engaged to take care of the dignity
and interests of Spain.
The PlLe6LG warns the country that
this candidacy may serve as a pretext
| for war between France and Prussia,
in which Spain will be the victim.
The Berid fully approves Prim's pol
| lev. The COTresDOnde1ciG announces
by authority that the COrtes will
meet on the Goth of July.
The Temps gives notice Of a demon
stration to be made next Sunday
against all foreign candidates for the
| crown.
LONDON, July s.-The excitement
is intense over affairs on the Conti-
nent, but a reaction in public senti-
ment took place in consequence of the
conviction that war will be averted.
The panic and reaction are probably
equally unreasonable. staE

The Sale of Cndetships-Two Thousand
Dollars the Ruling Price-A Yankee
Cadet from n South Carolina District
Lame Explnnations-A Friendly Do
nation.
A Washington telegram of Saturday, to the
New York Times, says:
The investigation of the cadet transactions
was continued this morning, and some addi-
tional light was thrown on the subject, impll-
eating one or two additional congressman
Mr.. WhittemOre, who. it will be remembered,
was accused of selling cadetship, came before
the committee to explain and give his version
of the story, which Is In substance as follows
He stated that E.. P. Brooks offered him two
thousand dollars for his cadetship, but that he
refused to sell 1t. He subsequently, gave 1t to
the son Of q personal friend from Massachu-
setts who had moved into his district In South
Carolina. He admitted that two thousand dol
lars had been sent into his district to be used
for educational purposes and was put to his
credit. This he said, came from friend, but
1t is understood that he did not explain 10 the
satisfaction of the committee whether that
friend was Identical with the one whose son he
appointed to the cadetship. Mr.. Whittemore
says the letter produced by Mr.. P. b. Kegler,
proposing to sells cadetship for $780, is torg-
cry. He never was offered less than $4,000 for
it. There Is great deal Of feeling and indlg-
nation expressed here on the subject by Con-
gressmen generally, and there Is no doubt that
the convicted members who are now in Con-
gress will be expelled.
