MADRID, Dec. 12.--An exciting scene was
enacted in the Cortes Yesterday, resulting
in the abrupt termination of the session.
The Premier delivered speech in which
he stated that the Government was earnest
in its support of the pending bill for the

endeavor to make the passage of this bill

Cortes. A tumultuous scene followed
this declaration. .
A number of Deputies belonging to the
Constitution party declared that they must
resent Senior Canova's dilatoriness in reply
ing to the Interpretation which had been
addressed to him. Some of the members,
attached closely to the eGubernatorial
Cabal, resented these attacks upon the
ministers, and in the midst of great up
roar the President put on his hat and de-
clared the sitting of the Cham6ets closed.
During the afternoon a caucus of dissatis-
fled Deputies was held, and seventy OF
them signed paper agreeing to abstain
from taking their seats until the Cabinet
should explain their disposition and tender
an apology for the breach of privilege
which they alleged was committed by the
President in refusing to allow the debate to
continue, and in thus summarily .termina'
ting the session.
