WASHINGTON, June 2.--The secretary
of the treasury has received a telegram
from Special Inspector Hampton at Fort
Landerdale, Fla, stating that he board
ed the steamer Biscayne, off the New
River Inlet at o'clock Monday morn
ing while she was transferring arms,
ammunition and coal to the Dauntless,
and that he was knocked down, dis
armed and driven off. This telegram
was referred to the attorney general for
such action as the gravity of the occur
renee may warrant. This is the only
information yet received at the treasury
department in confederation of the re-
port telegraphed from Fort Landerdale,
detailing this assault and the subse-
quent capture of the Dauntless by the
cruiser Marblehead. The department
officials say they have no doubt that the
Dauntless had just returned from sue
cessful landing in Cuba of munitions of
war, and her capture is regarded as
highly important. The persons who
maltreated Inspector Hampton while in
the discharge of his duty as a United
States officer, it is said, will be rigor
ously prosecuted.

THE EASTERN SITUATION.

Turkey Delaying Negotiations i'm Hope of
Break i'm the European Concert.
LONDON, June 2.-Eastern affairs ap-
pear to have REACHED the drifting stage.
The exact position as to the armistice
negotiations is not yet clear. Evidently
it is the object of Turkey TO create de-
lays and to discover any latent weak
ness in the European concert. During
the councils of ministers at the Yildiz
Kiosk the peace conditions have GER
tainly been discussed but ali mention of
Thessaly belongs to Turkey by conquest
and that there is nothing more to be
said on the subject The powers will
have to show a united and very ener-
getic front before the sultan will recede
from this position.

Austrian Emperor Terminates Sessions Of
the Lower House of the Diet.
VIENNA, June By order of En-
peror Francis Joseph, Count Badeni, the
Austrian premier and minister Of the
interior, has declared the session of the
lower house of the diet to be closed.
Count Badeni declared that recent
events had prevented the house from
fulfilling its functions, and it was i'm
peratively necessary in the interests of
the state to prevent repetition Of such
riotous scenes, as they tended to under
mine the foundations of parliamentary
institutions. The government was con-
scious of it's responsibility, but it felt
bound to prevent the interests of the
state being prejudiced by such obstruc-
ton. Therefore, by order of the EN-.
peror, he declared the session closed. At
the conclusion of the premier's state
ment the deputies left the house ..I..-d

LONDON, June 3.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of The Times says: The queen
regent has accepted the resignation of
the cabinet of Senior Canovas del Cas-
tillo. 1t has caused profound sensa-
tion Before finally taking this step
her majesty begged Senor Canovas to
remain in office for "a hours in order
that she might have another opportunity
to consider the matter in council, but
this only meant that the resignation
would be accepted Senor Canovas
rendered his resignation because he
could not again undertake to
re establish relations with the
Liberals. He preferred to leave the
crown fuR liberty to decide as to the
best solution, Both houses of the cortes
voted without debate the financial sup
plies and granted authority for the issue
of treasury bonds and the contraction OF
loans guaranteed by the Spanish treas
ury to cover the expenses of the wars in
Cuba and the Philippine islands.

CRISIS EXTREMELY GRAVE.
Queen Christina Finds Herself in Diff
cult Position.

cult Position.
NEW YORK, June ga dispatch to
The World from Madrid says: The
crisis is extremely grave. The excite
ment in political and financial circles is
intense. Never since the death Of King
Alfonso XII in 1885 has Queen Chris
tina found herself in so serious and diff
cult position. One Of two things she
must do. She may keep Senior Canovas
as premier with his Conservative cab
met intact or modified and keep General
Weyler in Cuba to persevere in her pres
ent policy with the ample means re-
Gently voted by the cortes; or she may
form Liberal cabinet i'll which Senior
Moret probably would be minister of
foreign affairs, with opportunity to fol-
low his well known inclination to come
to an understanding with the United
States.
Would Send Campos to Cuba.
A Liberal cabinet probably would
send Marshal Campos to Cuba with full
power to conciliate the insurgents and
royalists by establishing more radical
home rule than Senior Canovas contem-
plated and thus disarm the United
States.
The Liberals seem confident and the
Conservatives are downcast. In the
military clubs and in political circles the
majority believe that the queen will de-
eide to have Liberal government. The
general impression throughout the city
is that Senior Sagasta will succeed Senor
Canovas as premier, as the latter would
hardly reverse the colonial policy or re-
call Weyler.

WASHINGTON, June 2.--There was
lively session of the house during the
day, at which the policy of Speaker
Reed and the Republican majority was
again made the subject of attacks by
members Of the minority. Mr.. Richard
son CDem., Tenn.) and Mr.. Simpson
(Pop., Kan. led the onslaught for the
minority. The majority position was
ably defended by Mr.. Henderson (Rep.,
Ia and Mr.. Grosvenor (Rep., o.. The
appeal of Mr.. Lewis (Dem., Wash.),
taken last Thursday from the decision
of the chair that resolution relating to
foreign affairs did not constitute a
question of privilege, was laid OH the
table, and, after the skirmish over the
methods of procedure, three special or
ders
Were Successfully Adopted,
by two of which the senate bills making
special appropriation for the govern
ment printing office and for granting
the secretary Of the navy authority to
contract with any two vessels to carry
contributed supplies to India, were
passed. The other provided for the con-
sideration of the Frye bill to prevent
collision in harbors, rivers and inland
waters of the United States connected
with the ocean. But Mr.. Payne, in
charge of the latter bill, was forced to
abandon it for the day to avoid the
point of no quorum. The conference
report on the sundry civil bill was
adopted. The compromise relative to
the revocation Of President Cleveland's
forest reservation excited some COM
ment.
WASHINGTON, June mir. Preston,
director of the mint, has about COM
pleted his figures of the gold and silver
production in the United States during
the calendar year 1896. He finds the
production of gold to have been about
$53, 900, 900, an increase of over SO, 250,-
900 as compared with 1895. The pro-
duction of silver is given as 57,7O0,000
