Indiana Court and Suffrage.

Lafayette, Ind, May 26.-Mrs. Helen
M. Cougar says to the women Of In
diana that the test-vote case has been
pushed to it's final ending. The SUI
preme court, she says, has been COM
peeled to reverse itself to find that the
women have not the right to vote I'M
der the present law. Within three
years this court has reversed itself
three times on the woman question.
First, in admitting women to the prac-
tice of law; it holds that the express
use of the word male" in the consti-
tuition is no bar to the female. Second,
in interpreting the right Of women to
sell liquor the same court holds that
the express use of the word male" is
bar to the right of female. In the
right to vote the court holds that by
the express mention Of the male the
female is barred from suffrage.

WEYLER'S NEW ORDER.
3uf7erings of Pacifcos in Cuba to lie
Increased.

Increased.
Washington May PA consular re-
port from Cuba tells of new order of
concentration. The effect of it will be
to add greatly to the horrors of the sit
uation. The suffering will be increas-
ed, and the deaths will be more numer-
Gus.
The order, so far as the consul
knows, applies to about one-tnird OF
the province of Santa Clara. This is a
region of sugar estates.
Under the original order of concen-
tration the agricultural population was
obliged to form camps at the centrals,
or grinding plants, OF such estates as
maintained a Spanish garrison.
This permitted the farming popula-
ton to gather in bodies of from 500
to 1000. By this distribution in small
bodies the reconcentrados were able to
find some subsistence.
The smaller concentration has been
attended with less hardship than the
larger.
The new order just made by the
Spanish authorities abolishes the con-
centration camps on the sugar estates.
1t directs that the only points of con-
centration in the district shall be the
cities having municipal organizations
In this district there are but three "mu-
nicipals," as they are called. To these
three points the entire farming popd-
laiiou will now be driven.

Madrid, May 2S-Events of the last
Few days have led the people to expect

of the present cabinet does not seem
possible. The liberals, who consider
The formation of Sagasta cabinet in

oned all idea OF agreeing upon the
formation of a working ministry.
In the senate, in reply to a conserv-
alive senator who asked why the lib
erals were absent, Senior Canovas del
Castillo, the premier, said:
In the opinion of the government
the matter which the liberals plead as
an excuse for their absence from the
senate is an incident of purely per-
sonal character, which has already
been arranged. The government re-
spects the opinion of the liberal mi

incident and their demands for the
resignation of the minister of foreign
affairs as contrary to the constitution

The marquis of Peralos, on behalf Of

that under the circumstances they felt
compelled to absent themselves until
The liberals had received satisfaction.
In the chamber of deputies the pre-
mier repeated the statement he had
made in the senate. adding that he re-

this way at Washington, where, he said,
it seemed to be supposed that the sale
of Cuba was a possible thing. Spain"

Senior Francisco Silvela, leader Of the

and characterized the diplomatic con-
duct of the government as altogether
