the United States minister to Spain,
Mr.. Hannis Taylor, had q conference,
the result of which is not known. It is
reported that Captain General Weyler

GROSvENOR CONFIDENT.

Claims Mckinley Will Have 53s Votes on
the First Ballot. -'5#
WASHINGTON, May 12.-Congressman
Grosvenor says that inasmuch as every
body who has sense enough to under
stand knows that the contest is over
and that no earthly power can prevent
the nomination of McKinley on the first
ballot, it is hardly worth while to issue
any more bulletins. At the same time
he issues table showing that McKin-
ley now has 548 delegates. He candidly
admits, however, that he includes con-
tested seats, to q total of go, that he re.
CARDS as sure for Mckinley. There are
70 delegates yet to be selected, and of
these Mckinley will have so without
contest. Hence, excluding altogether
the contested seats, Mckinley will have
538 on the first ballot.
AS to the claims that some delegates
may go back ON their instructions, Mr..
Grosvenor says he has no knowledge
that there are any scoundrels elected as
delegates, nor has long contact with
vicious men in politics polluted his
mind to such an extent as to make him
believe that other men are willing to
demonstrate themselves as wilfully dis.
honest.

MILWAUKEE, May 12.-The state
board of arbitration had two hour con-
ference with the directors of the street
railway company from II 80 until 80
O'Clock. The representatives of the
company declared that they had no new
ground to take. The company was
operating it's cars and had nearly
enough men to get along. It had moth
ing to say to the strikers further than to
promise $50 of them work if they ap-
piled during the present week. No
more could be accommodated. This is
equivalent to notifying 500 of the old
hands that they cannot be re-employed.
The situation on the streets is un.
changed. Quiet prevails and the public
is fast coming to the belief that the
strike is absolutely thing of the past.

NAEIA CHRISTINA, QUEEN REGENT OF SPAIN.
publics, the speecl, says, i'll the presence
of tho Cuban rebellion serves to prove
that each day develops still more the in
terests binding themto Spain. In the
United States, despite the efforts of
public opinion in the contrary direction,
the president and his government have
not separated themselves from the line
of conduct and the loyal friendship
which have always existed between the
two countries since the creation of the
republic.
Provisions for New Armament.
The speech praises the conduct of the
army and navy during the struggle in
Cuba. The army will soon be provided
with new pattern rifles and a complete
artillery equipment. Spain has already
Increased her navy by Is gunboats and
other vessels. An extraordinary budget
will be presented to provide for the &C.
QUESTION Of new ships and for improv-
ing the arsenals.
The queen regent referred during the
speech to the measure voted by the
chambers for reform in Cuba. Despite
these measures, she said, the rebellion
had broken out in Cuba because the reb-
els desired independence, and not local
autonomy. If the rebellion triumphed,
Cuba would take step backward in
civilization, industry and independence.
Cuba could not prosper with indepen-
dence. Spain had not hesitated and
would not hesitate at any sacrifice to
maintain her authority in Cuba.
The speech continued that in order to
secure the equilibrium Of the budget,
new sacrifices would be required from
the taxpayers, but these sacrifices would
contribute to the country's prosperity.
