1t has been quite widely stated that
there was an agreement Of counse as
to the facts in the suit which involves
the hospitals for the insane. 1t is an
error. There is no telling when the

FOR THE CRUISERS.
Oniy One Hid Made to Furnish Armor for
the Three Cruisers Now building, asa
That = Conditional One-Madc by the
Illinois steel Company.


Washington. April S.-The navy de-
partment received today but one bid in
answer to the advertisement calling for
proposals for supplying about 5000 tons
Of armor for the three battleships. IL
linois. Wisconsin and Alabama, and
this one was So irregular tn form as
TO be far wide of the advertisement
The single bid was from the Illinois
Steel Company, 90 Chicago. and IL pro-
posed to supply the s.oOo tons az armor
desired at SEQ per ton on condition
that il tie given a twenty year contract
To supply all Of the naval armor. In
such case the remainder OF the armor
beyond the 5000 tons would he supplied
at S24o per ton. The ar;nor was To bc
paid for in gold coin. An alternative
proposition contemplated the erection
OF an armor plate mill by the govern
ment and its supply with steel by the
Illinois Company. No awards have
been made and the whole matter VIII
probably be referred To congress.
The interest felt in the results OF to-
days bidding was manifested by the
number OF persons present. Lieutenant
Stone. was there for the Carnegie
Company; Vice President Davenport
and Messrs. Meigs and McElvainc for
Bethlehem; President Harrah. and Mr.
Petrie for the Midvall steel works:
Charles Cramp,for the Cramp lpbui
ing works: William +. Walmcr, second
vice president OF the Illinois Steel Com
pany: General Hyde. president OF the
Bath iron works: eX-Secretary Herbert
and a gathering OF naval experts from
the ordnance, engineering and con-
struction bureau.
In view of the fact that congress by
an amendment to the naval appropria-
ton bill had limited the sum to Ice paid
for armor for the three battleships to-
a maximum OF $500 per ton, as against
about $500 now paid. there Was no sur
prise expressed by the persons present
in the secretary's office when Secretary
Long, taking his place at the head OF
the table announced that only one bid
had been received, which was from the
Illinois Steel Company, OF Chicago, IA
concern which now for the first time
enters the field Of competition for sup
plying the government armor.
Before the bid was read Lieutenant
Stone. for the Carnegie Company. and
Vice President Davenport for the Beth
lehem Company, presented To Score
tary Long written statements OF the
reasons which had impelled these COM
panieS, which have heretofore supplied
all the armor used by the government
in building the new navy. to refrain
from submitting proposals in answer
TO the present advertisement.

purchased. 1t is regarded as absolute
ly necessary to authorize the supply
Of forage and such stores to the people
who have herded the few cattle and
horses remaining to them on the levees
and high grounds in the flooded dis
tricts, else the damage might be very
much heavier. Therefore it is likely
that an immediate effort will be made
to secure the passage Of another reso-
luton amending h first SO as to per-
nit such stores to be supplied.

Alfonso XII. in 1885 has Queen Christ

Senior Canovas as premier with his
conservative cabinet intact or modified
and keep Gen. Weyler in Cuba to pre-
serve in her present policy with the
ample means recently voted by the
cortes. Or. she may form a liberal
cabinet in which Senior Moret probably
would be minister of foreign affairs,
with opportunity to follow his inclina-
tion to come to an understanding with
the United States. The general i'm

Is that Senior Sagasta is likely to sue

Cabinet Crisis at Madrid.

MADRID. June 2-The premier,
Senior Canovas del Castillo, has tender
ed to the queen regent the resignation
Of the cabinet, owing to the difficulty
the ministers experienced in carrying
on the government in view Of the par
liamentary situation caused by the re-
fusal of the Liberals to take part in the
deliberations of the cortes. This atti-
tude of the Liberals is due to the per-
sonal encounter between the Duke of
Tetuan, the minister for foreign af-
fairs, and Prof. Comas, a Liberal SEN
ator, on May 21, when the duke slapped
the face of the senator after a heated
debate on the Morgan belligerency reso-
luton adopted by the United States
senate.
WASHINGTON, June 2.-The Asso-
ciated Press dispatch announcing the
resignation of the Spanish cabinet was
shown to Mr.. Dupuy de LONE, the

on the subject and declined to make
any statement for publication.

OHIO REPUBLICANS.
Their State Convention Met Yesterday.
H4nna Will Win.

Toledo, OHIO, June 22-The republi-
can state convention began here to-
day. 1t will nominate a full state
ticket and lndorse a candidate for
United States senator. There is no
opposition to Hanna for both the short
and the long terms and none to the re-
nomination of Governor Bushnell and
other state officers, all of whom are
running for second terms.
The contest has been from the start
for the control of the state central
committee, which selects the campaign
chairman. Senator Foraker, Governor
Bushnell and others have been untlr-
ing in their efforts to retain Chairman
Charles S. Kurtz, and Senator Hanna
and the old following of President
Mckinley and Secretary Sherman
have supported Major Charles Dick
e: Major nielZ s nazg Sec
retary of the national committee.
He was chairman of the Ohio state
executive committee in both McKin-
ley's campaigns for governor and in
the presidential campaign of 1892.
Dick was superseded by Kurtz as
chairman IN Bushnell's first campaign
two years ago, and has held the place
since. There has been strong rivalry
for years between Dick and Kurtz,
and the fight between them is the
distinguishing feature of the con-
vent tlOn.
