Madrid, Oct. S.-The cabinet has de-

In the course Of the cable message

Premier Sagasta, placing his position
in Cuba at the disposal of the govern
ment, he said:
IF the functions with which the gov
eminent had entrusted me had been
merely those of governor general of
Cuba, should have FASTENED to resign.

chief in the face of the enemy prevent
my rendering resignation.

but l think such change of policy, in
order to succeed, requires that the au-
thorities should be one with the min

JACKSON MEMORIAL HALL.
Its Dedication the Feature of the
Commencement at Lexington.

Lexington, Va, June 23.-The dedication
of the "Stonewall Jackson Memorial
hail." the most interesting feature of the
commencement of the Virginia Military
Institute, took place to-day in the main
hall of the building.
The hall was packed to overlooking
Many people from the country were in at
tendance, and a large excursion from
Lynchburg helped to swell the crowd
The exercises were opened with pray
er by the Rev. C. r. Hemphill, d. D., of
Louisville.
Houston S. Letcher, president of the
board of visitors, then gave a brief his
tory of the efforts to get funds for the
construction of the hall, saying that the
first contribution was made by President
Jefferson Davis, and that a large proper
ton of the contributions came from Vir-
ginlans. Mr.. Letcher then introduced the
first orator of the day, DR.. Hunter Ma
gulre of Richmond, medical director of
Jackson's corps, who opened his address
by relating that he had been recently told
by eminent British officers that the great
est English speaking generals in the last
100 years were Marlborough, Wellington,
Washington, Lee and Jackson. They de-
clared that the campaign of jackson in
the valley of Virginia was the first in
which the world had known no blunders.
Rev. DR.. J. Z. Smith of Richmond was
next introduced by Mr.. Letcher. He de-
livered a glowing eulogy on Gen. Jackson.
The concluding address was delivered
by United States Senator John w. Daniel,
and his introduction by Mr.. Letcher was
the occasion of a warm and hearty greet
ing from the large assemblage. Senator
Daniels remarks were discoursive in their
character and not of the set speech order.
He held aloft the character Of jackson,
the soldier, with his virtues and his en-
deavors In seeking training; his concen-
tration Of purpose and his genius IN
manner that was striking and captivating.
The war. he declared, had demonstrated
to the world the greatness and the virtue
Of the southern people, and their sacri-
fees and trials had been repaid i'm the pre-
sentation OF two military chieftans so
great and good as lee and Jackson. The
day before he said there had been gath
cred together in the city Of London
large and representative throng Of Eng
lsh speaking people 20 celebrate the
golden jubilee OF England's queen, now
the ruler Of 100000 people. Had Lee
and Jackson been alive and there, All
would have stopped to do them honor.

STUCK ON SAVANNAH.
Philadelphia Commercial Bodies
Want a Steamship Line,

Philadelphia, Pa, June ga special
meeting of the members of the maritime,
commercial grocers and other exchanges,
was held in the bourse to-day to consider
the proposed withdrawal by the Ocean
Steamship Company of its direct service
between Savannah aud this city. Presi-
dent Bartol of the bourse called the meet
ing to order.
William R. Tucker, secretary of the
board of trade, stated that one of the few
connecting links between Philadelphia
and one of the most important southern
ports was about to be broken. The pro-
posed move of the Ocean Steamship Com
pany, the speaker said, and from the best
informa ton at hand, was an arrangement
between that company and another COM
pany to divert the commerce of this city
to the ports of Baltimore and New York.
Col. James, formerly of the Ocean
Steamship Company, stated that the com
pany had been losing money for some
time and unless the Pennsylvania railroad
would give the steamship companies the
same backing that the Baltimore and
Ohio extends the result must be loss of
trade to Philadelphia.
Frank A. Hayward, editor Of
Southern Progress, representing COM
mercial bodies of Savannah and
six other ports, stated that
the south was ready to join hands with
Philadelphia in establishing a new line Of
steamships between Philadelphia and the
south.
Before adjourning to meet four weeks
hence, a resolution was adopted calling
for the appointment of a committee of
fifteen members by the chairman of this
Meeting To consist of one member of each
trade association said committee to con-
slider all the facts in connection with the
Savannah service and to report to this
meeting, within four weeks from date,
such recommendation as it may see fit to
make.

Out "a Fusion Ticket.

Des Moines. Ia, June 23.-The demo-
cratic state convention adjourned early
this evening, having completed its work.
Tho two allied conventions, the silver
republicans and populists. completed their
work slightly in advance.
The three factions were, after much con-
troversy, able to agree on one platform,
with free silver as the main idea ana one
ticket, composed of two democrats two
silver republicans, and one populist. The

under the name Democrat"
When this became known there was a
split in tho populist convention. the mid
die OF the road faction under The leader
ship of A. w. c. Weeks walking out The
seceders numbered probably 100 Of the
delegates.
Gen. J. b. Weaver's faction remained
with the democrats, whereupon he was
bitterly denounced. But for this rupture
the union of oil the free silver forces
would have been complete.
The ticket is as follows:
For Governor-F. f. White, dem, of
Keokuk county.
For Lieutenat Governor--B. A. Plummer,
silver rep, of Winnebago county.
For Judge OF Supreme Court-L. G.
Kinne, dem, of Polk county
For Railroad Commissioners. b. Grain,
pop, of Dallas county.
For Superintendent of Instructlon--G. It.
Rhinehart, silver rep, OF Jasper county.
The sentiment was almost overwhelm-
ingly for Bryan. Every reference to his
name was greeted with usty cheers. His
picture was repeatedly displayed, and
every time an orator pointed toward Il
there was applause. There was no quarter
given TO the gold democrats. The silver
element Of the party had It's own way In

ventions ever held In this city, aud In
