Tho Spanish Press.

MADRID. April g. = The principal
newspapers Of Madrid print patriotic,
spirited articles, all saying in effect
that the moment is fast approaching
when the Spanish government and ma
ton must act reso!utely on the de-
cisive stage of the Cuban question and
of the relations between Spain and
the United States, and must also be
prepared for all the consequences of
the vindication Of the Spanish right
to repel any interference in the strug-
Cling between the mother country
and the Cuban insurgents. Between
the lines it is easy to see the papers
are ready for another outbreak of
public excitement, but the government
is determined to continue to show
energy IN quelling demonstrations.
Admiral Sanchez Ocana, command
ing the great navy yard at Ferrol. on
the extreme northwest coast, reports
that he has completed preparations
for sending to sea a Spanish squadron
composed of the iron clad Pelayo, the
first class bolted cruiser Infanta Maria
Theaesa, Almirante Oquando and
Vlzcaya, the second class armored
cruisers Reina Mercedes and Alfonso
XIII, one torpedo destroyer, and
seven fast torpedo boats. These
fourteen vessels carry in their crews
nearly 5000 men. The feet will
leave Ferrol for gun practice in Argosa
bay and will cruise along the north
west coast Of Spain ready to start for
Havana just as soon as the cabinet
considers that circumstances require
its presence in the West Indies. The
Madrid press plainly says that the
movement OF the fleet will depend
upon the course of President Cleveland.

TROUBLE in TURKEY.
SULTAN MAY ORDER IN
EXPULSION.
Seraous Observation-Disclosures and
Rcd Cross Relief Workers Under Mo-
hammcdan Ban-Rev. Geo. c. Knapp, an
American Missionary, in Prison.

CoNsTANTINopE, April s. Advices
received here indicate beyond any
reasonable doubt that the Rev. Mr..
George c. Knapp, one Of the American
missionaries at Bitlis, is confined in
n Jail at Diarbekir, capital of the
vilayet of that name, in Turkish AR.
menia, and serious international COM
pllcations are likely to result. The
Turkish government, replying to the
representations of the United States
charge d'atfairs, John W.. Riddle, has
announced through the grand vizier
III minister of foreign affairs that no
news has been received by the porte
regarding the reported expulsion OF
the Rev. MI. Knapp from Bitlis. But
the latest report from there is that
MIR. Knappis to be sent to Alexandretta
q seaport on the bay of Iskanderum,
there to be either shipped out of the
country or delivered to the representa-
tives of the United States.
At the first intimation of trouble,
the United States charge d~'affaires,
after communicating with the porte
and receiving the unsatisfactory reply
stated, cabled to Washington for fur
ther instructions and it is now said
that the United States squadron in the
Mediterranean, consisting Of the flag
ship Minneapolis, commanded by Adj
miral S%elfridge, and the cruiser Mar
blehead will shortly go to the Gulf of
lskanderum and at the same time a
formal protest against the treatment
of the American missionaries NAV be
made to the porte, coupled with the
demand for In adequate indemnity for
the damage recently done to the prog
erty of the Americans.
The imprisonment and proposed
expulsion of Mr.. Knapp is understood
to be but a preliminary to the expul-
sion OF all the Christian missionaries.
mostly American, English and French
Catholics, from Asiatie Turkey, and
possibly from European Turkey as
we'll. Besides, it is runlored that the
agents OF The American Red Cross So
clety, now distributing relief funds in
Asiatic Turkey, are also to be ex-
PEELED. In support of this report, it is
stated that an imperial decree, pro-
ylalng for the expulsion from Turkey
OF the Christian missionaries and
agents of the Red Cross society, has
alrendy been signed by the sultan,
although 1T has not yet been issued
from the palace. That this is the case
would seem to be proved by the activ-
ETY. ut the French and British embas.
sizes during the past few days and by
the visits which the United States
charge d'affaires has made to the
porte.

The Canadian House Working Day and
Night on the Manitoba Bill.

OTTAWA, Ontario, April 9.-The
House has been in session without ad-
journment since 8 o'clock Monday and
will remain until tomorrow, if not
till Saturday. Clause 6 of the Mani
toba schools remedial bill was under
consideration at o'clock this morning
when Mcneil moved that the commit

motion has been debated ever since.
Although clause 6 of the bill, which
contains liz clauses, is not reached

finally disposed of, SO that if the
House We're to sit steadily till the cath
the bill could not be passed.
Some rather boisterous scenes have
occurred in the bar of the restaurant
during the present and the previous
recent prolonged sitting Of the House.
The matter was brought up last night
by Sir Richard Cartwright, who char
aeterized. the scenes as disgraceful
and, declared that the bar should be

ARE AFTER M'KINLEY
A. p. "a. DECLARE HE MUST
NOT BE NOMINATED.
St,art a Boomfor Linton-Judge Stevens of
the National Advisory Board Declares
the Order Holds the Balance of Re-
publican Power and Will Use 1t.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, April "a scheme
was sprung in this city yesterday
which its promoters declare will de-
feat Major William Mckinley for the
nomination for President of the United
States. 1t was the launching Of the
boom OF Congressman William S. Lin
ton of Michigan for President by
Judge j. H. d. Stephens, chairman of
the National Advisory board of the
American Protective Association.
The A. p. A. has esta blished head
quarters in st. Louis at 6'3 Pine
street, from whence Linton literature
will be sent broadcast throughout the
country. Linton himself is expected
IN st. Louis in four days, when his
boom will formally be launched at a
demonstration to be held in the Ex-
position building. He will also speak
in Omaha, Kansas City, Louisville and
other places and Linton clubs will be
organized IN every large city in the
union within the next ten days.
The national advisory board met in
Washington about two weeks ago and
sent a letter to the managers of Nc
Kinley, Reed, Morton and Allison,
asking that they appear before the
board and state their positions in re-
gard to the order. The of
all the candidates except Mckinley
obeyed the summons and appeared
before the committee. They argued
for their candidates and made prom
ises of all kinds. Mark Hanna, Nc
kinley's manager, did not put in an
appearance. A second letter was sent
him, and it brought a response, not to
the liking of the board. 1t simply
said that Nh. Mckinley declined TO
treat with any faction, association or
society within the party.
This caused the board to place a ban
on McKinley's name and it was de-
clded to use every means in the power
OF the organization to encompass Nc
kinley's defeat. 1t Is claimed that at
least 100 of the delegates already
chosen are A. P. A. men, and the or
der figures on securing SO more del
egates by the time the convention
meets. With $50 votes they believe
they can defeat Mckinley and prac-
tically dictate who shall be nomin-
ated.
In an interview Judge Stevens said:
There are nearly 1000, COO members
of the A. P. A. in this ountry and 90
per cent of them will vote.as one man.
We propose to beat Mckinley for
President of the United States. We
already have 100 OF the delegates
elected so far and we will have more
by the time the full number are elect
ed. We can, and will, beat Mckinley
for the nomination, and If by any
hook, crook or political trick he should
succeed IN being nominated we will
1efeat him at the polls"

CORBETT
The Charge is Giving a Boxing Contest
Contrary TO Law.

SAaTSe - living q Boxing Contest
Contrary TO Law.
ST.. LOUIS, April 9.-James J.. Corbett
and his sparring partner, Mike Con-
nelly, were arrested at Havlin's the
alter and taken to the Four Courts,
yesterday, chargedwith holding a box
ing contest contrary to law.
Before the curtain went up on the
second act Captain O'Malley called on
the champion and informed him that
there must be no boxing. Jim said
that he did not want to interfere with
the law, but that boxing was in the
show. 1t was decided to spar any
way, and Captain O'Malley was spir-
1ted away from the stage. Alderman
Jim Cronin took him aside, and while
he was talking there was a skillful
exhibition of the manly art on the
stage.
After the show they were arrested,
but released on bonds of $500. Alder
man Cronin was surety. The proceed
lngs were brought to make a test case
OF the boxing ordinance.

To Reduce the Veto Limit.

ARLINGTON. April s.-In the Sem
ate to-day Mr.. Butler, Populist. of
North Carolina introduced a joint
resolution providing for the amend
ment OF the constitution to limit the
veto power Of the President SO as to
make Incompetent for the two houses
TO pass bills over a veto by q majority
vote. . Speaking Of the resolution he
said that the idea of requiring q two
thirds vote was due to the fact that
when the constitution of the United
States was adopted the American peo-
pie were not far removed from English
ideas. In his opinion the power
granted to the President was too
great andashould be limited.

WILL THE PRESIDENT ACT
Tho Joint Cuban Resolution Sent to thu
White House.

Tho JOINT CUBAN Resolution Sent to TIM
White House.
WASHINGTON, April S.-The Senate
concurrent resolutions on the Cuban
question were delivered to Private
Secretary Thurber this morning by
Mr.. Platt, n of the executive clerks
OF the Senate. Later in the day they
will be sent to the State department,
as the law requires that such resolu-
tions shall be printed in the book OF
laws annually published by the de-
partment. Ordinarily concurrent res
olutions arc not forwarded to the
President, as they do not require his
signature, but these resolutions were
sent to him as the Armenian resolu-
lions were, because they express the
opinion that he should tender the Of
fees of the United States to Spain for
the recognition of Cuban independ-
ence and are, therefore, a direction to
him III SO far as Congress can direct
the President in such a proceeding.
Secretary Olney went early to the
White house and renamed in close
consultation with the President for
some time. This caused the general
circulation of a report that the two
were engaged in the preparation of a
special message to Congress.
Some assert that the President will
do nothing at present, at least, while
others are confident that he will give
effect to the expression of the Senate
and House by issuing a proclamation
recognizing Cuban belligerency, and
a few declare the conviction that he
will go the Senate and House one bet
ter and recognize Cuban indepen-
dence. Those who predict n@on-action
on the executives part are largely in
the majority. Nearly all who profess
the belief that Mr.. Cleveland will be
heard from base their opinion upon a
statement made by Mr.. Hit, chair
man of the Foreign Affairs committee,
during the debate On the resolutions.
When Mr.. Hit was asked as to what
would be the effect Of the resolutions
III case the President took no notice
OF them, he said they would have no
effect, but he averred that he had
every confidence that the President
would not ignore a decided expression
of the American peopi> through their
representatives.; that he would be
%recreant to his trust if he did. 1t is
argued that Mr.. Hit very likely had
some assurances on which to predi-
cate his opinion as to the reception
the resolutions would meet at the
White house.

THE SPRING ELECTION.

Republican Ticket Elected In Kansas
City, Mo.-Other. Election Results.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, Aprils9.-The city
election resulted in the success of the.
entire Republican ticket by majori-
ties ranging from i.5OO to 1850. a
full city ticket was chosen. The con-
test was one of the hottest in the his
tory of the city. The convention that
nominated the Republican ticket was
dominated by the A. P. A., and the
issue was A. P. A. and anita. p. A..
The remarkable feature of the cleo
zion was that Frank A. Faxon, who
was named for the place on the school
board on only the Peoples party
ticket, defeated W.. w. Taylor, who
was on both the Repu blican and Dem
ocratic ticket.

ELECTIONS IN KANSAS.
AS a General Rule the Ticket Put Up
by Republicans Carried.

TOPEKA, April Especial dispatches
regarding the result of the elections
in cities Of the first and second class
throughout the state show little of
general political interest. Republi-
can tickets were put up generally and
carried with but little opposition, but
Citizens tickets, based solely on mu-
nicipal questions, were ably support
ed and Won in a dozen cases.
In Wichita the citizens ticket cap
tured three wards and the Repub-
.icans three. In Leavenworth the
straight Democratic ticket elected
four of six councilmen, still leaving
the majority Republican. In Emporia
the citizens ticket swept everything.
There was only a moderate women's
vote, except where the mo joints"
Issue was contested. In all the latter
cases the temperance sentiment won.

THE SPANISH PRESS HOT.
All the Papers Condemn the American
Congress.

Congress.
MADRID, April all the papers
notify condemn the American Congress
for the belligerency resolutions which
they persist in considering an act of
hostility and insult to the Spanish
people, which must be met by reso-
lutte, active preparations for resisting
all kinds Of Intervention. 1t is un-
derstood that the government will
calmly await the decision or advances
from President Cleveland, but will, in
the meantime, push operations in
Cuba and preparations. in Spain to
keep IN touch with public opinion,
whilst firmly checking all demonstra-
ions that might create international
complications.
Ihe.government does not apprehend
any fresh demonstrations against
Americans, despite the agitation that
is famed by the press. Great precau-
lions are being taken in i1adrid and
IN the provinces to quell any disturb
ances and protect American represen-
tatives. 1t is evident, however, that
much suppressed excitement and irri-
tation is prevalent among all. classes.
The significant attitude Of the. minis
terial press excites ironical and. very
angry protests and comments. Papers
OF the largest circulation and opposi-
ton journals like Impartial, Pals,
Globo, I'll Liberal, Correo and others
go so far as to threaten the govern
ment with serious consequences in
domestic politics If Canovas should
assent to mediation on the part of
President Cleveland and purchase the
neutrality Of the United States by
commercial concessions.
