CARLISTS ORGANIZING.
Spain is Now Threatened With a War
at Home

Madrid, May 2O.-At a meeting of
Liberal senators and deputies, Senior
Sagasta, former premier, made an i'm
portant speech. in which he said:
We have 100000 troops in Cuba, but
we are not even masters of the terri
tory trOdden by our soldiers. At the
same moment Carlism is organizing it
self in the peninsula and menaceS US
with a new war, thanks to the impun-
ity it enjoys, while the seeds of separa-
ton are terminating in some prov
inces.
The picture could not be gloomier
We have war in Cuba and in the Phil
ippines, and we have attempts a civil
war at home. The government is not
responsible for them. but it is unfor-
tunate in its administration. Reforms
in Cuba Will not solve the Cuban prob
lem
Senior Sagasta reproached the con-
duct of the government in financial,
political and diplomatic emergencies,
and said:
1T is in this way that new conflict
has arisen with the United States We
will soon know what has become of the
SIG, 600 600 of the former loan. In Cuba
no important problem has been solved
and there has only been an aggrava-
ton of long existing evils. In the face
of this situation, the Liberal party has
decided to break the truce it has ac-
corded to the government during the
last two years The government has
placence of the Liberals. Henceforth
the Liberals will throw all responsible
ity upon the government"
The speech, which was greatly ap-
plauded, portends stormy sittings for
both chambers. Many Liberals predict
from power within fortnight POlit-
zeal passions are thoroughly excited.

TO SUCH EXTREMITY n
As This is Mrs Weber Forced by
Good for-Nothing Officials.

There is as yet no record in Shawnee
county of woman swearing out a COM
plant against a joint, but if Mrs. Joe
Weber means what she says. there
Will be such q record in a few days.
Mrs. Joe Weber, it may be explained.
is the wife of Joe Weber, who lives on
lower Jackson street and drinks bad
whisky whenever he gets a chance, and
as Mrs Weber can't make J 0e stop
drinking bad whisky. she now intends
to make the Smoky Row jointists stop
selling the stuff to her husband.
Weber was arrested for drunkenness
this week. and yesterday Mrs. Weber
visited County Attorney Jetmore and
informed him that she meant to swear
out complaints against the men who
sold whisky to her husband and that
he might expect to do a little official
business on her account. She is now
supposed to be working up informa-
ton. and if her complaint includes all
jointists who have sold liquor to her
husband. a wholesale cleaning out Of
the Smoky Row liquor places may be
expected.

GEYSERS IN CALIFORNIA.
Two Have Recently Developed il
Moro Bay Near the Shore.

San Luis ObispO, Cal, May 20--About
$50 O'Clock last evening residents of the
country adjacent 10 Moro bay We're
startled by a report which began like
The low rumble Of thunder and ended
with a somewhat louder blast. A few
days ago a similar report was heard
and a mud geyser appeared in the small
arm of Moro bay.just opposite the town
site of FL Moro. This geyser has form
ed a small island, which for a week past
has been the wonder Of the people OF
the county and has been visited by a
great many.
Following the report yesterday a sec
ond geyser sprung into existence about
geo yards distant from the first and
little farther inland. This last geyser
is an exact counterpart of the one
formed last Friday night It is only
short distance from the shore and peO-
pie who gathered there could plainly
see the small island of dark mud and
sand which had been formed. Like the
eruption of last Friday night the sur
face of the second island bears evil
dence of having 4 small sized crater
from which large quantities of the
blacklist mud are slowly arising.

CONSULS' LIVES IN DANGER
Secrecy in Regard toConsularReport
From Cuba is Explained.

Washington, May 20.-Another stir
ring debate on Cuba occurred in the
senate yesterday.
The main speeches of the day were
made by Senators Foraker of Ohio,
Cannon of Utah, Lindsey of Kentucky
and others. 1t was the first speech of
any length made by Mr.. Foraker since
he entered the senate and in addition
to this the Ohio senator is one of the
Cuban subcommittee of the commit
tee on foreign relations.
He spoke in favor of a reference TO
the committee on foreign affairs Of the
present Cuban resolutions.
1t developed in the course Of a col
lOQuy between Senators Foraker, Nor
gan and Vest that the state department
had withheld the names of United
States consuls reporting on the ser
iOus condition of affairs in Cuba be-
cause it might lead to their massacre.
Mr. Vest declared that they reported
the most serious phase of the subject,
as it was time to protect our officials
with war ships if their personal liberty
was threatened for making reports to
their government
No action on the resolution was ia
ken, but Mr.. Morgan said he hoped to
secure a vote tomorrow on Mr. Hale's
motion to refer. He desired to do this,
he said, in order that the Cuban resOIu-
ton might not antagonize the tariff bill
on Monday.
When the Cuban resolution came up
Mr.. Chandler of New Hampshire
until Monday, disclaiming at the same
time any intention on the part of the
opponents of the resolution to delay
action.
Mr. Vest of Missouri said he had seen
statements to the effect that three
members of the commission on foreign
relations had visited the state depart
ment and had access to the evidence
furnished by the United States con-
suls.
why was it that three senators had
their information and the senate did
not have it2
Mr. Morgan answered that three SEN
atOrs had been sent to confer on the
Cuban subject with the state depart
ment-
Was this statement official that mas
sacre might ensue in case of Mr.. Lees
name being mentioned in connection
with consular reports2''
Yes" was the reply.
Mr. Foraker had been one of the sub
committee to visit the state depart
ment- So far as he was concerned, he
said, no restrictions had been placed
on him. except as to the use of names
of cOnsuls and places.
Mr.. Vest, addressing Mr.. Foraker,
said:
I call attention to the statement of
the gentleman from Alabama that the
president and secretary of state desired
that the names of the consuls should
not be given as it would involve their
assassination Is that truce"
Not in that language replied Mr..
Foraker, but it was suggested that
disclosure of names might do more
harm than good and possibly lead to
violence"
And now we come to the serious
question" said Mr. Vest. Has the
government sent gun boats to see that
our consular officials are protected2
Must we be told that they may be as
sassinated if their names are given out :?
That is the serious question"

ADRIAN BRITT'S DOWNFALL
End of the Career of Man Once Rich
and Very Prominent.

Chicago, May 2O.-Adrian Britt was
a prisoner yesterday in the federal
court He was awaiting sentence for
COMPLETELY in the robbery of street mail
boxes. He was shabby and broken
and he hoped to get a sentence of one
year in the penitentiary, because that
meant shelter and food and a gift of
$50 upon discharge.
Adrian Britt was the man upon
whom was supposed to hang the result
of the Hayes-Tilden election. He was
publisher of the Jacksonville Union
when the electoral vote of Florida hung
in the balance. He conceded Hayes
election and it killed the paper and de-
feated Tilden.

FORAKER WOULD SAY STOP"
There is No Other Way Open to Help
Cuba, He Says

Washington, May 20.-There was
much interest manifested during the
Cuban debate yesterday when Mr. For
aker of Ohio rose to speak.
7 want to say at the outset" he an
nounced, that I will vote for this reso-
luton, or some resolution like it In
adopting the resolution the senate
would act strictly in accordance with
international law. There could be no
question of recognizing the independ-
ence of Cuba, because no one claimed
that independence existed" Interven-
ton was also out of the question. Mr.
Foraker declared, for reasons which he
proceeded to explain The explanation
being an announcement of a fact nth
ertO unknown, created a sensation. He
said: In spite of the limitations which
are imposed upon me. I feel at liberty
to state that mediation has been ten
dered by this government and has been
rejected by Spain"
Mr.. Foraker then gave the facts re-
garding the Olney letter to De Lone
He read a sentence from SPANS reply
to the proposition, as follows: There
is no effectual way to pacify the Gu
bans except upon the condition that
they first submit to the mother coun-
try
That, said Mr.. Foraker, was the end
of the country's effort at mediation
Discussing the Morgan resolution on
it's merits. Mr.. Foraker said that direct
Intervention was a better, shorter and
more Christian-like way than the adop-
ton of the resolution tie would say
to Spain: In the name of civilization
and humanity. as we'll as in the in
terest of our commerce, you must come
to a stop, and you must do so immedi-
ateIy' This declaration brought a
burst of applause from the galleries.
which was promptly checked by the
chair.
The resolution under consideration did
not go so far as this 1t was a mis-
take to suppose that it meant war be
tween the United States and Spain.
Cuba has no right to ask the United
States for this Intervention, and Spain
no right to object to it
He admitted that the passage of this
resolution would debar US from claim
ing dana ges for destruction of Ameri-
can property and give Spain the right
to search our ships for goods contra
band of war. OF the former, he had
seen in the state department claims
amounting to many millions of dollars,
and each of them had been met by
Spain with a fat refusal to recognize
them

letter: Several Washington people

dy- She has been of great assistance
to her father in his political career She

ing his paper. The wife of ex-senator
Reagan of Texas was the first woman
whose name appeared upon the pay
rolls of the senate Miss PETER was the
second, and both these ladies not only
drew the pay, but did the work.
