Madrid, Sept. 20.-Fears are expressed
in well informed circles that a cabinet
crisis may result from the contumacy
of the bishop Of Majorca, Balearic Is
lanis, Who in defiance of the order of
the archbishop, has persisted in his
accommodation of Signor ]. Reverter
the Spanish minister Of finance, for
taking possession of the treasury of a
church in his diocese. The decree of
communication was read with all
Formally yesterday in all the churches
of the diocese. Several influential pre-
lates approve the course of the bishop
The cabinet relies upon the dictum of
the papal nuncio that the bishop has
no jurisdiction over the minister, and
upon his further assurance that the
pope will undoubtedly censure the
bishop.

MEXICAN OFFICIALS ARRESTED.

Charged With Not Properly Protect-
Prisoner From Lynchers.
City of Mexico, Sept. 90. Eduardo
Velasquez. chief of police; Lieutenant
Cabrera, assistant chief of detectives,
and Commandant Mauro Sanchez have
been arrested and placed in solitary
confinement by order of the Fifth GRIM
inal Judge, to whom had also been
turned over q prisoners : rested for
entering the municipal building on the
night of the recent lynching. Public
opinion is behind the government, and
the investigation will be pushed rap
idly. The officials arrested were &C.
companied to the prison by the new
chief Of police.
The government, by these arrests, has
taken precautions demanded by popu-
lar sentiment, which has become ex-
cessively irritated, for the public fail to
understand why prisoner of SO great
Importance as Arroyo should be left in
charge of unarmed officials High Of
flcials of the federal government have
to some extent shared the popular
feeling and 1t is reported that at the
regular cabinet meeting Friday several
ministers urged that the conduct of the
police should be thoroughly investi-
gated. A communication was accord
ingly sent to Governor Rebollar, of the
federal district, for transmission to the
inspector general, in which the latter
was informed that he must give up his
office Immediately. He is censured for
not having taken proper precautions in
guarding the prisoner. The arrests then
followed. If the police authorities are
proven criminally negligent in guarding
the prisoner they will undoubtedly be
severely punished, and all who took
part in killing the prisoner will be held
for murder.

Bombay. Sept 2o.--Advices from the

are advancing against the Mahmoukis
from Panjkora and Shabkadr. As yet
they have met with no serious opposi-
ton. but the difficulties of transporta-
ton in q mountainous and almost

1t Is now known that the enemy's

kite of a string Of seven, all Of the
Hargrave type, with four miles of

feet above sen level, or 1856 feet above
the summit of the hill. An aluminium

st. Petersburg. Sept. 2O.-At Tash-
kent, Turkestan, Asiatic Russia, Sc
we're earthquake shock occurred Sat
urday, and the disturbance was felt
throughout the whole of Turkestan. Sew
eral monuments of antiquity were dam
aged at Tashkent, Samarkand and
Ura-Tiube.
The region of the Turkestan earth
quake is filled with monuments of an
tiquity. Samarkand is regarded with
great veneration by the inhabitants OF
Central Asia. The city possesses the
tomb of THE Lame Timur" (vulgar-
lied into Tamerlane), the renowned
Oriental conqueror. Under this cele-
brated warrior and administrator, who
carried his victorious arms on one side
from the Volga and the Irish to the
Persian gulf and on the other from the
Ganges to the Hellespont, it became
the capital of one of the largest en-
pires ever known and the center of
Asiatic learning and commerce
Its beauties were lauded by the
poets of Asia. At the height of the
citys prosperity it contained no fewer
than 40 colleges, of which only three
remain perfect But it still has, though
In state Of decay. many of the edi-
fees associated with its former glory.

Washington, Sept 20-General Fitz-
hugh Lee, consul general to Cuba, had
long consultation with the president at
the White House Saturday. General
Lee gave his own views very freely to
the president, but after the interview
was very reticent about the nature of
the report he had made. It is under
stood that at the conference the presi-
dent strongly urged Consul General Lee
TO retain his Office, at least for the pres
ent, and to return to Havana at his
earliest convenience. The presidents
action Is construed to mean that he
thinks it unadvsable to make change
at this junctiure. General Lee will re-
turn to Cuba probably about the mid
die of October.
