United States Consul-General Karel
at st. Petersburg, has furnished the
state department with full particulars
of the conditions under which the
plans for the Siberian railway we're
changed so as to run the eastern por-
ton of the line through Chinese terri
tory. He says it was found that the
original plan would be hard Of execu-
tion. owing TO the great technical diff
fcuIties encountered. Thus on one
section OF / tO5 miles the cost per mile
would be $4,000 It was this facl
which first led to the consideration OF
a Chinese section. and Investigation
showed that, by running the line
through Manchuria, not only would the
construction be cheapeued. but the line
would be shortened and other adyau
tages be secured. Negotiations were
begun and the Chinese government
gave concession TO the Russian-Chi-
nese bank. which formed a new com.

A Great SUNRISE.

London, June .6.-The Madrid CORES
pondent of the Times says:
The solution of the crisis is a great
surprise, as much, perhaps, in ministerial
ranks as in the world at large. 1t wac
thought, and not without reason, that tll.
counsels of the higher military authori-
ties as represented by Marshal Campos,
Marshal Blance and Marshal Dominguez,
would have inclined the crown toward a
radical and distinct change of policy in
the Cuban campaign.
This idea was especially prevalent as
Senior Canovas has himself admitted that,
both as regards reforms and the conduct
of the war by Capt. Gen. Weyler, his own
hopes and aspirations have scarcely been
fulfilled. The only explanation is that the
first thought of the premier is to vindi-
cate his 'amour prOpre" so far as the
liberals are concerned, and when this is
established to find occasion at an early
date to modify the cabinet SO as to satisfy
the liberals and to terminate the dead
lock before the cortes reassembles, which
will probably be not before several
months. 1t can hardly be doubted that
the notifications would include the re-
placing of Capt. Gen. Weyler by some
other commander.
