Special TO THE MORNING CALL

MADRID. May u - The Cortes has
finished the fifty-fourth hour of continuous
sitting and the members and Ministers are
exhausted. Many sleep half the time and
are aroused by their colleagues only when
vote is to be taken. This evening the
discussion concerns the motion to give the
Government free hand to settle the qGes-
ton of municipal elections. The Repub-
llcans aud Carlists display an apparently
unbroken opposition, nevertheless it is be-
lieved that the motion will be passed. A
Ministerial crisis is imminent and popular
excitement does not abate. Crowds still
fill the streets and open spaces near the
Parliamentary building aud scores of
policemen are constantly on duty in the
immediate neighborhood to prevent
riotous demonstrations by keeping the
people moving. The guards in the build
Ing were strengthened to-day and were
ordered to clear the corridors and lobby up
to the doors of the chamber.
The counter motion of the Republicans
against leaving the Government n free
hand in the matter of municipal elections
was finally rejected by vote of 126 10 q,
and the Republican Deputies retired TO
confer. leaving but two men to watch the
Government Almost Immediately the
men on watch summoned them back in all
haste. 1t was too late, however, for the
original bill postponng the elections had
already been rushed through the house by
the Ministers.
The Republican members at once with
drew from the building, and as they ap-
psared in body on the street they were
cheered repeatedly by the thickening
crowd. The news OF what had occurred
spread like magic, and before the Deputies
reached the Republican Club thousands
were marching behind them shouting
"Lnng live the republic!"
Meantime some 10000 men and women
had assembled near the Parliamentary
building aud were cheering for the repub-
lie. The police ordered them to disperse
and they refused to do so, when the police
charged them ard were repulsed. Three
companies Of re-enfercements were sum-
moned and all charged with drawn sabers,
divided the mob and scattered the groups
through the side streets.
At 9:15, when the Cortes adjourned,
most of the people were driven off aud
the ministerlalists were in no danger Of
being molested.
At II 80 O'clock the streets near The
middle of the city were still crowded.
The Republican Deputies say they con-
template resgning in body from the
Cortes, and the Government is taking all
precautions 10 protect the public buildings
and 10 prevent the publication Of Repub-
lican manifestoes in the city or in the
provinces.

Special TO THE MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Senor Don Ro-
racio Guzman, the Nicarsguan Minister at
Washington. said last night the Nicar-
aguan revolution had been principally
instfgated by residents of New York City
who possessed large capital and were
financially interested in the affairs Of
Nicaragua" Tits has excited wide atten-
lion both in diplomatic circles and else
where, and interest is enhanced by Guz-
mans promise that he would make public
the names Of the persons he referred to at
later day.
a charge Of so serious a character as
that coming from q Diplomat Of Guzman's
standing Will certainly not be allowed to
rest. It. of course. involves eonsidera-
tions of an international character as
affecting the obligations of Nicaragua held
In Europe and many other matters con-
nected with the canal question and inter-
national guarantees.
Further developments are looked for
with interest.
The Nicaraguan Minister was one Of
the earlier callers at the State Department
this morning. He had an interview with
Secretary Gresham, the result of which
has not yet been disclosed.
Secretary GTesham-said to-day that he
had received no additional information
from Nicaragua since yesterday and the
situation of affairs in that country was so
serious and complicated that he begged 10

on the subject. one way or the other.
The Alliance will probably remain at
COrinto long enough only to ascertain the
situation Of affairs and will continue to
cruise southwark along the coast so as to
be able to guard the Interests Of Amer-
cans in the cities now in possession of the
Tevoutionist party. There is no direct
information that the insurgents have at
tempted 10 destroy the canal plant or in
terfere seriously with the progress of
WORK. but the officers Of the Atlanta will
make a special investigation on this sub
jeet, and will see that the canal property
is protected.
Minister Guzman has received advices
exactly opposite to those sent Secretary
Gresham by United States Minister New

things all their own way, Guzman says

Nicaragua. A dispatch from the Navy

TOO MUCH FREEDOM.
Newspapers Caused All the Trouble
in Nicaragua.

a gentleman who has lived in Central
America, and especially in Nicaragua for
several years. stated to a CALL reporter
yesterday some interesting facts concern
ing the cause OF the present trouble II
seems that prior to August, 1891, the little
republic of Nicaragua was the only one Of
the five Central American countries that
had the privilege of free press. When
Senior Doctor Sscasa, the present Presl-
dent. was elected In 1890, he represented
the Leon political party which had not
held power for several years. In the cleo
ti0n great deal of bitter feeling was
shown. and the Granada party. which had
held the reins OF government for a long
period, swore that Sacasa would never
live to complete his term. Since the cleo
iion the Granada politicians have been
constantly plotting the overthrow OF the
regular Government. The Granada news
papers were very bitter in their attacks
upon the President AMI his supporters,
until finally they became so abusive in
their statements that Sacasa warned them
in public circular that if they did not
cease their attacks upon his Government
the free press of the country would be de-
elared abolished.

given information that the Granada party
had formd an organization for the over
throw of tho Government and that Mana
qua, the capitol. was to be turned over TO
the revolutionary army by some of the
officers in the regular army. Sacasa i'm
