SENSATION AT MADRID.
The Decision to Retain the Old Cab
met in Power ProvOkes Gen
eral Discussion.

NEW YORK. June "A dispatch from
Madrid TO the Journal says: The solu-
ton OF the cabinet crisis has caused an
enormous sensation here. Premier Cano-
vas keeps the same cabinet ministers and
he also retains Weyler in Office. An i'm
preston prevails that Weyier viii be Re-
called at very early date.
The general opinion In court circles here
is that Conovas remains in power because
he alone supports Gov. Gen. WeyleF, TO
whom a brief opportunity VIII be accord
ed to give effect to his promise TO pacify
the two Eastern provinces of Cuba In a
short time.
The queen regent made every effort 10
arrive at some other conclusions, but
failed. Before Conovas was returned to
power on Sunday she called all the lead
ing senator's 10 consultation In regard 10
affairs in Cuba. They joined with the
marshals of the army in clarng that
Weyler should at once be recalled and
someone. probably Gen. Campos. sent cut
to pacify the island and forestall any ac-
ton on the part of the United States.
Minister TayIor's Comment.
WASHINGTON. june Z. 49, Secretary
Sherman last evening received the follow
ing cabIegram from United States Minis
ter Taylor at Madrid: THE queen regent
has expressed her unqualified approval of
the present Cuban policy by reappointing
the Canovas ministry unchanged, as that
was the only question really involved.

Ctty Clerk Filling n Place That Has
Been Abolished.

special Dispatch 10 the Post-Intelligencer.
TACOMA June City Clerk Roy Is
working without a salary. This sounds
queer that person should be working
for a municipality gratis at a time when
nearly everyone Is talking about this or
that graft" Under the Tacoma charter
there 10 no provision for city clerk. that
position coming under the head OF The
comptroiler's department. The present in
aumbent Mr. Roy. was appointed some
time ago by Comptroller Benh-rn and per-
formed the duties OF the Office. for which
hs was paid as actirg city clerk. AT tho
last meeting In April the city council
passed a resolution abolishing the Office.
Mr.. Benham following up this action by
sending n communication to the civil SER
vice commission. stating that by the ex-
press wish OF the council the Office had been
abolished, and as such the clerk was not
entitled 10 any pay Acting upon this no.
tice. the civil service commission did not
certify the salary this month
The charter provides that the comptrol-
Ter may hire such clerical assistance IS
he may deem necessary for the proper
running OF the office, and acting under this
provision he has no doubt kept Mr.. Roy
on with the hope that the council will vote
him the relief when asked for.
Among the clerks papers now being ex-
amsned by the civil service board are sew
eral for t.,e position OF city clerk. among
them one by Mr.. Roy. the present incum-
bent
