New York, March ia dispatch to
the Sun from Havana says:
The concentration of the Spanish
forces at the Cuban seaports, by order
of General Weyler is but the beginning
of the abandonment of the island. The
interior towns will soon be left de-
fenceless, and will fall into the hands
of the insurgents or be reduced to a
state of anarchy.
General Weyler explains this strange
measure by saying that it is only a
precaution, imposed by the coming
rainy season, in order to protect the
Spanish soldiers, as much as possible,
from the ravages of the yellow fever
But the explanation is in no way salts
factory, as yellow fever is far more
formidable on the sea coast than in
the healthier parts of the island
Private letters received from Madrid
have convinced thoughtful persons
here that the question now before the
Spanish government to decide is which
of the two colonies shall be retained,
the Philippines or Cuba. Both cannot
longer be retained under the present
conditions by Spain, exhausted and
penniless as she is.
The news published in some Ameri-
can newspapers that General Julio
Sanguilly intends soon to join the in
Surgent forces, has created deep indig-
nation among the Spaniards here
against their government, which they
openly accuse of cowardice in the face
of insolent American demands. They
declare that the release of Sanguilly
puts Spain in the attitude of cringing
to the Yankees, and proves that the
Spanish government is too weak to
make strangers respect the law in
Cuba
The news that the Spanish govern
ment desires Weyler's resignation.
though carefully suppressed by the
press censor, has been known to the
general public and is much commented
upon.
Day by day the outlook for the Span
ish cause becomes .blacker. There is
much talk over the fact that General
Weyler Notwithstanding the formal
declaration that he was going to take
personal command of the army in the
province of Santa Clara, is still in the
city of Havana. His resignation cannot
be the cause of his remaining here, as
he has not sent it yet.
''Weyler neither resigns nor fights,
is the general comment. 1t is known
that he is very busy at the palace
sending dispatches to Madrid, in the
hope to allay the storm against him,
and keeps his own counsel. He does
not relish the idea of returning to
Spain under a cloud

The Examiners Special Train.

San Francisco. Cal, March 15.-The
San Francisco Examiner has arranged
with the Southern Pacific railroad COM
pany to furnish a special train to leave
Carson Immediately after the big fight
and make the run to San Francisco in
six and one-half hours. This train, con-
veying the corps OF writers and artists
from the scene of the championship
battle, will probably break all previous
records for fast runs over the Sierras.
From Rocklin, Cal, to San Fran
cisco, a distance of about $50 miles the
train will run at the rate of 20 miles
an hour. The object of the paper in Sc
curing this train is to get photographs
of the fight here in order to be able
to illustrate the battle the morning
after il occurs.

M,KINLEY's MESSAGE.
ideas of the New President as to Our
Needs.

Washington, March 15.-The presi
dent today sent the following messag
TO congress:
To the Congress of the United
States:
Regretting the necessity which
has required me to call you to-
gether, feel that your assembling
in extraordinary session is indis-
pensable because of the condition in
switch we find the revenues of the
government.
1t is conceded that its current ex-
penses are greater than its re-
ceipts. and that such a condition
has existed for now more than
three years. With unlimited means
AT orr command, we are presenting
the remarkable spectacle of in
creasing our public debt by borrow
ing money TO meet the ordinary out
lays incident upon even an econ
omicaI and prudent administration
of the government
An examination of the subject
discloses this fact in every detail,
and leads inevitably to the conclu-
sion that the condition of the reve-
nue. which allows it is unjUstifiable
ard should be corrected.
we find by the reports Of the sec
rotary of the treasury that the
revenues for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1892, from all sources were
$425. e6S, 26022, and the expenditures
for all purposes were S415. 1858, SO6.56,

Washington. March 15.-President
McKinley's proclamation converting
the Fifty-fifth congress in extraor-
binary session was read Immediately
'safter the senate assembled at noon
today.
Though the session lasted until 1925
p. M, when adjournment was taken
until tomorrow, the greater portion of
the time was spent in recess waiting
for the house to organize
Mr.. w. 4. Harris (Pop) appeared
and took the oath of office as senator
from Kansas to succeed Mr.. PETER,
but the credentials Of Henry W. Cor
bett, appointed by the governor of
Oregon TO succeed Mr.. Mitchell (the
legislature having failed to elect were
referred to the committee on privileges
and elections.
At 3:15 p. m. the first message of
President Mckinley was read. 1t was
devoted entirely to the tariff The
total receipts Of the past three fiscal
years, he said, had been insufficient to
meet the expenditures by Sl37,S11. 600,
and the interest on the public debt had
increased by S11 49,, 900. These condi-
items were for congress to correct. Am
pie revenues should be provided for
the expenses of the government, the
prompt payment of liberal pensions and
the liquidation of the public debt. The
necessity of rhe hour was the enact
ment of a tariff bill that would provide
ample revenues and render to labor
In every field of useful occupation lib
eral wages. Before the transaction
of other business the message con-
cluded, let us provide sufficient reve-
nue."
While the reading OF the message
received the undivided attention of the
senators and the crowds IN the CALLER
les, it evoked no demonstrations of
either approval or disapproval.

Air jam in. a Tunnel.

curious state of things was OBJ
served in the tunnel of. the under
ground railway of Budapest on account
of lack of ventilation. For a stretch
of more than two miles there is only
single ventilator, which is entirely
insufficient, and the trains running
through the tunnel compress the air
within like that in the gun barrel of a
Zalinski dynamite gun. 1t is stated
that on several occasions the cars were
raised bodily from the tracks by the
pressure of air and gas, and the pas
sengers were almost suffocated. Steps
have been taken to increase the num-
Der of air shafts, so that there will be
at least ten of these in each mile, and
very large exhaust fans will do away
with the danger of insufficient ventila-
ton.

San Francisco Cal, March 15.-Will-
lam Muldoon, the famous trainer OF
pugilists, who arrived in Carson Satur-
day afternoon. writes the San Fran
cisco Examiner as follows. concerning
his opinion of the big pugilists:
when I was taken into the handball
court on my arrival, where Corbett was
playing a game with one of his train
ers, the first thing about Corbett that
struck me was his vastly-increased
muscular development / had seen him
stripped in New York before he came
west, and seeing him yesterday ne
looked third bigger; yet l should
say his weight was not so great as
when l saw him before. Accustomed
as I am to see the beneficial results
of exercise on men it is quite sur
prise to note the results that had at
tended the taking off of flesh and the
putting on of muscle.
Il wish to say to my friends in the
east, and to all who have confidence IN
my Judgment, that they need have no
uneasiness whatsoever about CorDett
condition. 1t is finer than L remember
to have seen it before. and, so far as
am capable of judging. l unhesitat-
ingly assert that Corbett is now fit to
make the greatest effort of his life SO
much for his physical condition.
THE value of the work done is I'M
doubtedly shown in the remarkab bic ac-
ceSsion of muscular development, but
whether or not that has been acquired
at the cost of some quickness, remains
to be seem Mr.. Corhett'S own opinion
is that he is as fast if not faster than
ever. 1 saw for myself that he is prac-
ticaIly tireless His wind is superb,
and more than two hours constant
work did not distress him in the least.
Il drove to Fitzsimmons' place at
Cooks ranch Saturday morning.
Like Corbett, FitzsimmOns has
greatly improved in muscular develop
ment, and has apparently lost weight
and has gained in chest expansion. The
body is entirely free from fat or su-
perfiuouS flesh. The muscles stand out
in very strong relief. He has undoubt-
edly developed a great deal in muscle,
but he impressed me as being little
bit overworked. When I mentioned
this to his trainers they said he would
let up in his work from now on
"FitzsimmOnS has not got the same
bright eye, but does not appear to have
so good q share of vitality as COrbett-
In talking to him, 1 found him very
confident about the result of the fight,
every bit as much so as Corbett. and
it is plain TO me that there is a big
disappointment in store for one or the
other.
LAS there was no work to be done
today, there was no opportunity for
me to judge of F'itzsimmons' physical
condition, further than from his looks
while in bathing.
Not seeing any weighing machines
on the grounds, l did not ask either OF
the fighters to let me weigh them, but
judged by the eye, I should say that
Corbett is at least u pounds heavier
than FitzsimmOnS.'

GREECE AND RUSSIA.
Secret Negotiations Are Said to Be in
Progress.

Progress.
New York, March ia special ca
BILE dispatch from the Press correspon-
dent at Athens says:
Il learn that secret negotiations are
proceeding between King George of
Greece and the Russian government.
This information comes from a high
and absolutely trustworthy authority.
Russia undoubtedly is playing a two
faced game with the Turkish govern
ment and with the powers as well.
There is an explicit understanding
that when the Greek army crosses the
frontier Russia shall find a pretext to
seize Constantinople. The under
standing, so far as King George is
concerned, is that in the general con-
fiict in the Balkans, which is sure to
follow fighting on the frontier and
the disruption of the Turkish empire,
which would follow a seizure of Con-
stantinople by the Russians, Greece is
to be encouraged to seize Macedonia.
with the cars promise in advance
that she shall be permitted to retain
the province.

IN THE HOUSE.
Reed Elected Speaker and Makes a
Little Speech.

Washington, March 15.-The house Of
representatives was fully organized to-
day by the election of speaker clerk,
doorkeeper, sergeant-at-arms and
other officers. II consists of 1851 mem
bers of whom 209 served in the last
congress and 16 in former congresses,
while 1872 have never served in congress
before. Politically classified, there are
RO6 Republicans, 122 Democrats and 30
fusion silverites and Populists. There
g4ere 341 of them present today. The
vote for the election of speaker was:
For Reed (Rep-, Me.), 1873; for Mr..
Bailey Dem., Tex, ia; for Mr.. Bell
(Pop., Tex, u; and for Mr.. Newlands
(Sil, New, l.
Mr.. Reed, having been declared duly
elected speaker of the house of the
Fifty-fifth congress, made short
speech, promising TO perform the du-
ties of his office without fear. favor
or hope of reward" and declaring that
he was more impressed by the sense
of responsibility than cheered by the
sentiment of thankfulneSs.
The oath of office was administered
TO him by Mr.. Harmer (Rep., Pa.), the
senior member in point of continuous
service, and the speaker in turn ad-
xainistered the oath to all the mem
bers.
Then the clerk and other officers of
the last house were reelected for the
present congress.
At this point in the organization the
machinery got somewhat out of gear,
the house refusing, by bare major
ity of one, to second the previous
question on a resolution to adopt the
rules of the last house until further
orders. That was the result of
count by the speaker, but when the
same question came to be voted on by
yeas and nays there was Republican
majority of over 20, and the resolution
was agreed to-

Washington, March 15-At quite a
late hour in the session of the house,
Chairman Dingley presented for refer
ence to the committee of ways and
means, of which it was well understood
he was again to be the chairman, the
following bill upon which he and his
Republican associates have been en-
gagged for many weeks.
Most of the essential details of the
bill. except it's administrative features,
which are. embodied in the last 1000
words of the bill, beginning with sec
ton 8, have already been made known
in these dispatches. But in discussing
the general scope and purport of the
bill to a representative of the United
Associated Presses today Chairman
Dingley gave an interesting synopsis
of what he expected of it as follows:
HAS TWO PURPOSES.
The bill has two purposes, namely:
To raise additional revenue and to en-
courage the industries of the United
States.
On the basis of the importations of
the last fiscal year the bill would in
crease the revenue about S112,O0O,OO

measures of both champions, arrived
with a bullying pocketbook this even
ing and will be ready with a challenge
