Applaud the Senate.

PARIS, April 22.-The conservative
and moderate Republican newspapers
this morning applaud the senate for
the stand it has taken against the
Bourgeois ministry, and say they be-
lieve it impossible for the premier to
remain in office, even should the cham
Der of deputies give him another vote
of confidence. The Radical and So
cialist organs reproach NJ. Bourgeois
for having bowed before the senates
vote and speak of his intended resig-
nation as "deSertion and abdication."
In some quarters the formation of
new cabinet is regarded as difficult in
view of the attitude of the Radicals
and the Socialists.
According to the Matin, NJ. Brisson
considers it quite anomalous for
cabinet to announce its intention to
the chamber before placing its resig
nation in the hands of the president.
According to the generally expressed
opinion, a new moderate ministry
would not ease the situation. The
Socialists, it is said, are much excited
and intend to employ the most violent
language, and by every means of in
timidation, prevent the working of the
present constitution, in order to de-
velop the agitation for revision of the
constitution.
Any moderate premier, it is added,
would be driven to daily struggles
against the Socialists, leading to up
roarous scenes, and it is understood NJ.
Bourgeois will not profit by the vote
of confidence which may be adopted
in the chamber of deputies tomorrow.
Many of the Radicals do not desire to
retain NJ. Bourgeois as premier, merely
to assert their political convictions, in
view of the fact that an appeal to the
electorate is in prospect.

NEW YORK, April 22.-Two large
ocean steamships, the Mobile and the
Glenochy, which have just arrived in
New York from London and Glasgow,
respectively, report seeing an immense
field of ice just south of the southern
part of the Banks, nearly in the south

Friday of last week.

morning when we began to pass float

that we sighted the field. 1t was then
fair and perfectly clear and we were
steaIning west by south but when we
sighted the ice 1 ordered the course
passed TO the north of all the ice, ex-
cept few detached bergs.
For fully twelve miles to the south

rate, the field of ice extended. Far
away was formed a solid mass, tower

which we were obliged to make our
way with great caution. Some of the
Ice mountains were 100 feet high and
none were less than twenty feet in
height.
The influence of the ice on the
temperature Of the air was very
marked. At a. M, the thermometer
registered 80 degrees and at noon only
y degrees. We had to turn on steam
throughout the ship as it was too cold
Tor the passengers to be on deck.
All the morning we steamed
through the ice, having ITO change our
course no less than five times in order
to avoid collision with one of the big
fellows. We passed so near to several

CUBAN CHATTER.
THE INSURGENTS WILL NEVER AC-
oEPT HOME RULE.
BIuffed Once, But VIII Never Be
Taken in in the Same Manner
Again-More Aid for the Insur-
gents.

TAMPA, Fla, April 22.-The dis
patches announcing that Cuba will get
home rule are received with scorn by
the Cuban colony here. Colonel Fer
nando Figuerdo, Cuban delegate to
Florida, said:
Should Spain ever proffer us home
rule it will be spurned AS long as
Cubans live they will fight for liberty.
Absolute independence is what we
want, and nothing else.
"Campos promised US home rule in
1876, but it was never granted. We are
not to be bluffed again.
What they now offer is the law
proposed by Alburzuza, the minister Of
colonies, in March, 1895, and accepted
by the Cortes, but never put into
effect.
This measure was suggested by the
startling capture of the Lagondi, Anna
dis and Barawa at Fernandino loaded
with munitions of war for Cuba. Spain
has been loath to concede that much
TO US, but now thinks it the only re-
deeming measure.
IF they have our forces in Cuba so
scattered, bewildered and surrounded,
why, are they so eager to grant any
such concessions?

WON'T HAVE THEM.
The President Vetoes Two Pension
Bills.

Bills.
WASHINGTON, April 22-The presi-
dent today sent the senate vetoes on
two pension bills. The first is in the
case of Charles Z. Jones, photographer,
who was injured while taking photo
graphs where no battle was in actual
progress. He was not enlisted and not
in the military service of the United
States.
aside from the question whether
his present sad condition is attributable
to the injury sustained, it seems to me
the extension of pension relief to such
GASES would open the door to legisla
ton hard to justify ana impossible to
restrain from abuse" says the presi-
dent.
The other veto was in the case of the
widow of Peter II. Alla.bach, who
served both in the Mexican and the
war of Rebellion. 1T is proposed"
says the president, "by the special act
under consideration to give this widow
$50 month, without the least sugges-
ton that the death or disability of her
husband was caused by his military
service, and solely, as far as discover
able, upon the ground that she is poor
and needs money. Her condition is
precisely covered by the existing laws,
and if a precedent is to be established
by the special legislation proposed,
do not see how the same relief as is
contained in this bin can be denied
to many thousands of widows in a
similar situation"

Leaders Laugh.

CHICAGO, April PA special to the
Tribune from Washington, D. c., says:
In spite of the official denials of the
state department it is now admitted
generally that note has been sent to
Madrid by Secretary Olney. An addi-
tional report is now in circulation to
the effect that this note was a fore
runner of a proposition on the part Of
the president that Cuba should be al
lowed to purchase her independence
from Spain and that Senior Palma, who
is here to be made minister of the
Cuban government as soon as his
country's independence is gained, sug-
gested this plan to Mr.. Cleveland, tell
ing him it would be satisfactory to the
Cubans.
The Cuban leaders here laugh at the
reports from Spain of promised politi-
cal reforms for the island.
