ASPANISH BRAGCART
Havana Commercial Sheet Makes
Some Charges Against Us.
SAYS THAT We INSPIRE REBELLION.
Threatens the United States With Dire
Calamity In Case of War--Says
That Spain Cares Nothing
For Our Senate.

Havana, via Key West, June I'm
Its last issue Ell Concrete, the organ Of
the retail grocers, violently attacks the
United States. 1t says in part:
ut has become necessary to prove to
the United States that Spain needs
neither their benevolence nor their oom-
miseration. Those who ask for a policy
of clemency and pardon for men who
have desolated the country with torch
and dynamite must be convinced that
against such policy all true Spaniards
will become more and more resolute.
THESE Yankees are never satisfied.
They are far more guilty of hardness
of heart (obduracion) than the Cubans
themselves. After our denying atroci-
ties invented by the American press;
after our releasing various convicts
charged with high treason to demon
strate to the American people the gen.
erosity which can look upon such peo-
pie as amenable to the laws of civilized
warfare; after all this, the Americans
still believe these fakes put up against
US and believe that we fear them.
1T is necessary to prove to the Amer
leans that we care nothing for the in
sulting and aggressive stand taken by
the American senate. A country where
the old have less judgment than the
young is a degenerate country, a coun-
try of premature civilization, which will
rot before it ripens. Let us tell them,
or, better still, let us prove to them
that we can laugh at their braggadocio.
Foreigners cannot own property in
the United States. Let us reciprocate.
There pirates are overlooked. Let us
do the same here. There are not want
ing brave, audacious mariners, who
would patrol Americas seas and &C.
casionally do what they pleased. The
Americans would file their claims.
Our courts would sentence the offenders
to a 10 cent fine and a three hours inn
prisonment or release them under
fictitious bond.
REALLY the airs put on by these
Americans require energetic action on
the part of the Spanish people. At the
very moment when the revolution is
almost suppressed they appear again
with their belligerency declaration. We
care nothing for 1t. They can go ahead
on this line if they please. 1t will only
more clearly define the situation, and
our heroic navy may yet prove what
1t can do with our enemies. Let 1t be
demonstrated, aside from diplomatic
methods, that the Spanish people de-
pise the jingoes of the United States
and know how to spit in their faces
100 times"

COODPROCRESS MADE
Several Paragraphs In the TART,
Bill Completed.
MR.. SMITH DENIES SPECIALIZING,
The House Has q Lively Session, at Which
the Speaker and the Republican Ma
jority Were Attacked-Some spe-
ciaI Orders Were Adopted,

Washington, June 2.-The senate
made good progress on the tariff bill,
advancing to the important metal
schedule. During the session the para
graphs covering marble, stone, china.
glass, brick and tiles were completed,
with a few minor exceptions. Messrs.
Vest and Jones of Arkansas, in behalf
of the minority of the finance commit
tee, proposed numerous amendments,
which were defeated by majorities of
from to Il.
The votes were on party lines in the
main, although Messrs. Rawlins and
White (Dems.) voted with the Repub-
ucans to increase the rate on onyx, and
Mr.. McEnery Dem.) voted with the
Republicans against Mr.. Jones' propo-
sition for a reduction of the rates on
china.
AS a sequel to the recent sensational
speech Of Mr.. Tillman, Mr.. Smith of
New Jersey rose to a question of per-
sonal privilege while the tariff debate
was proceeding and made a brief but
pointed denial of all speculation in sug-
ar stock, either recently or at any time
when sugar was the subject of legis-
lation. Mr.. Tillman was among those
who heard the denial but he made no
comment on it.
Senator McLaurin of South Carolina
was sworn in, raising the membership
of the senate to SO. This establishes
the personnel of the senate as it will
remain for some time-viz: Republic
ans, 4S; Democrats, "a; Populists, 7;
silver Republicans, 5; vacancy, l (Ore-
gon); total, 90.
Houses Lively Session.
There was a lively session of the
house, at which the policy of Speaker
Reed and the Republican majority
again were made the subjects of at
tacks by members of the minority.
Mr.. Richardson (Dem.) of Tennessee
and Mr.. Simpson (Pop.) of Kansas led
the onslaught for the minority. The
majority position was ably defended
by Mr.. Henderson (Rep) of Iowa and
Mr.. Grosvenor eRep.) of Ohio.
The appeal of Mr.. Lewis (Dem.) of
Washington, taken last Thursday from
the decision of the chair, that a resolu-
ton relating to foreign affairs did not
constitute a question of privilege, was
laid on the table. and after the skirmish
over the methods of procedure three
special orders were successfully adopt
ed, by two of which the senate bills
making a special appropriation for the
government printing office and for
granting the secretary of the navy per-
mission to contract with any two yes
sells to carry contributed supplies to In
dia were passed.
The other provided for the copsidera-
ton of the Frye bill to prevent col
lisions upon 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.

TWENTY CYCLISTS IN A HEAP.
sharp Turn on IL Hill Lends Excite
ment to n Road Race mt
PoaSufP n j.

New York. June 7.-While turning sharp
corner at the foot of a steep hill twenty
riders in a five-mile road race near Passatc,
n. j., ran into the mouth of a big stone
quarry and every one of the racers was
injured, and every wheel was wrecked.
That none of the riders was killed is extra
ordinary. Sixty cyclists had entered the
contest. and by the time the steep hill was
reached twenty riders were punched to-
gether. They did not slow up for the hill,
but dashed down at fun speed. As they
reached the sharp corner they attempted
to turn into the river road. The mOmen-
tum was too great, however, and each man
lost control of his wheel
AS the leaders went down amid Their
wrecked wheels their followers ran into
them. and amid the widest confusion. y
cry Of horror went up from the spectators
on the hill and several women tainted.
Half hundred men We're soon at the
scene of the accident and the work Of eX-
Treating the injured was begun. Parts of
wheels and racing suits were scattered
ali around. The men were soon freed the
wreCkage. and assisted to n shed near by.
where the spectators bound up their
wounds. None escaped without some in
Jury, and many of them had to be taken
home in carriages. The wheelmen blame
the officers of the race for not warning
them of the dangerous turn.

ONCE ENGAGED TO EzETA.
Former Ffancee of the San Salvador
can Rufugee Married to a
Boston Physician.

New York, June Miss Ida Dent
Wright, daughter of Mrs. Marie Robinson
Wright, was married to DR.. Walter E. Sc
mour, of Boston, to-day. Only a few in
innate friends were present. Especial in
terest is attached to this wedding because
of the fact that the bride, who is a native
of Atlanta, was at one time engaged TO
General Antonio Ezeta, vice president OF
San Salvador. The wedding was set for a
day in October 1898, in st. Patrick's cathe-
drai, this city. The revolution in San Sal
vador caused a postponement of the we'd
ding When the Ezeta brothers were over
thrown, General Ezeta escaped TO San
Francisco on board the United States gun
boat Remington. The eXtradition pro-
ceedings brought by the new San Salvador
government against the United States for
the possession of General EZeta was mat
ter Of great public interest in the summer
of 1894. Miss Wright worked hard IN the
interests of her fiancee. appealing to Pres
ident Cleveland and the members OF the
ca abinet not to surrender General Eta.
Judge Morrow decided that the offenses OF
General Ezeta were not covered by the
extradition treaty. A few months later the
engagement of General Ezeta and Miss
Wright was broken by mutual consent, but
the two remained firm friends. Mrs. Sey-
mour is about "a years old.
