MADRID, September 5.-An impor-
tant meeting of Leading liberals was
held to-day at the house of Senior
Sagasta. After discussing the Caro-
lines question, it was resolved that
the occupation OF the island of zap
should be considered equivalent TO a
declaration of war; that II the crisis
in tine government should occur and
the liberals be called into power, they
would " ithdraw Count de Bouomer,
the Spanish ambassador ut Berlin, aud
hand Count Saline Sonnewald, the
German Ambassador ut Madrid, his
passports. The resolutions also de-
clare that the liberals would order
the Spanish government AT the Phil
lippines to recover the territory in
/ the Caroline Islands taken possession
of by Germany, and TO use force, II
necessary, to regain it. The adoption
of the resolutions has created n grea
sensation. The government has dis
missed from the service the two com
manders of the two Spanish men-oi

CHEYENNE, September 5.-Tha
Leaders special from Rock Springs
gives the latest that eau be got from
the scene Of the recent anti-ChineSs
troubles. II says: "All is quiet to-
day and the miners have returned 10
work. At meeting last niyht
measures were taken TO nut stop To
the drunken carousals of a few of
their number who have been cclcbra-
ting the removal of the Chinese. Two
more dead Celestials were found to-
day; one In the ruins of Chinatown
aud another beneath the railroad
bridge, about mile east. The latter
had been wounded and managed to
walk that far before he gave up.
Your correspondent talked with the
miners to-day who took an active
part in the attack upon Chinatown
and was told that less than n third OF
the dead Chinese In the remains Of
the ruins of the houses have been
found thus far. They declare that no
less than twenty-five were shot down
inside the burned buildings. The
buildings had dirt roofs which cover
ed up the dead when the buildings
succpmbed TO the flames and, as no
search has been made In them, II Is
probable 1t is true. Cinnamon are
still arriving at stations east and west,
almost dead from fright and fatigue,
and are shipped to Evanston by the
company. They rciterate the state
ment that many have died in the hills
from wounds received in the attack
upon them. 1t is reported that the
white miners at Almy, in the western
nd of the territory, have notified the
Chinese laborers in the miues that
they must leave inside Of three days
and that the Union Pacific has guar
anteed their removal in the time speci-
fled. The Celestials, all along the
road, refused TO work to-day aud de-
manded passes TO Evanston. Chinese
laundrymen and servants, at Green
river, were told last night that they
must leave inside of twelve hours, and
they will go west on to-day's express.

WINNIPEG, Man, September o.
Riel was not produced by the crown
yesterday for some reason but the
argument in the appeal was resumed
aud the original record was produced.
Mr.. Lemieux spoke, arguing that upon
the evidence taken before the court
at Regina, the jury should have re-
turned verdict of insanity and the
fact that il recommended him TO the
clemency of the court was evidence
that they believed the prisoner insane,
or partly so. Counsel claimed that
Riel's disease was monomania and
also claimed that the information
should have been laid before the
stipendary magistrate and q justice of
the peace. Mr.. Fitzpatrick dealt with
the case from broad standpoint,
claiming that as under the
magistrates. by jury of Twelve men
Il should prevail, is law in
the territories 1t Is not clear that
British law should obtain. He dealt
with the subject OF insanity and insane
deluslons which may not be always
apparent The arguments will be
continued to-day.
