SPANISH CABINET RESIGNS.
Queen Will Call Council To-day to Discuss
 Situation.

Madrid, June 2.-The premier, Senor Canovas Del Castillo, has rendered to the queen regent the resignation of the cabinet, owing to the difficulty the ministers experience in carrying on the government in view of the parliament tary situation caused by the refusal of the liberals to take part in the deliber- ations of the cortes. This attitude of the liberals is due to the personal en- counter between the Duke of Tetuan, the minister for foreign affairs. and Professor Comas, a liberal senator, on May 21, when the duke slapped the face of the senator after heated de- bate on the Morgan belligerency reso- lution adopted by the United States senate.
 The queen regent will hold a cabinet council tomorrow in order to discuss the situation.
 After the meeting in the Hobbies of the senate between the Duke of Tetuan and Professor Comas the liberal mi nority held a meeting, and ex-Premier Sagasta, the liberal leader, was sum- moned to confer with his followers. The liberal senators and deputies even- tually decided not to attend any more sessions of the cortes until full satis- faction had been accorded the liberal party by the Duke of Tetuan. A duel between the senator and the duke was proposed, but it was eventually aban- doned. The Duke of Tetuan at first rendered his resignation, but he with drew it later on the advice of the pre- mier, who, the personal question of the dispute having been settled by the sec onds of the two parties, deciding that a duel was not necessary, held that, in view of the pending important interna- tional questions the ministry should not be disorganiZed.

Philadelphia, June 2,-The Interna- tional Commercial congress was for mally opened at 2:3O o'clock this after noon with about three hundred and tif- ty delegates present, representing com- mercial and industrial bodies in all sec- tions of the United States and many foreign countries, the foreigners com ing principally from Mexico and Gen. tral and South American states.

MUSIC ON THE GREEN,
The New Haven Grays Vote to Give the
 Public q Band Concert.

The New Haven Grays at their meet ing last night, after discussing the fact that New Haven has a new and costly band stand but no funds with which to provide band concerts, voted unani- mously to provide the public with a free band concert, the same to be given at the aforesaid band stand on Satur- day afternoon of next week from to 6 o'clock. A committee was thereupon appointed to secure a brass band, the con mittee consisting of Lieutenant Sn ith, First Sergeant Gruener and Corporal White. The company voted also to have an evening parade on the Green at about 5:3O o'clock the same afternoon. There will doubtless be large throng of people out to hear the music and see the parade and it was thought that similar free band concerts might follow on subsequent Saturday afternoons given by other military organizations of the city, and that such affairs would be very popu- lar, Saturday afternoons being half holiday with many of the stores in the summer and New Haven having made no provision for band concerts.
