THE SPANISH CRISIS.
Liberals Still Refuse to Overlook

AND THE PREMIER Is OBSTINATE.
Refuses to Yield to the Demand That
the Foreign Minister Retire From

Decline to Assist Legislation.


the Foreign Minister Retire From
the Cabinet, and the Malcontents
Decline to Assist Legislation.
! Madrid, May 25.-In the senate yes
terday, In reply to a Conservative sem
ator who asked why the Liberals were
absent, Senor Canovas del Castillo, the
premier. said:
y IN the opinion Of the government
the matter which the. Liberals plead as
an excuse for their absence from the
senate Is an incident of purely per-
gonal character, which has already
been arranged. The government re-
Bpects the opinion of the Liberal mi
nority but rejects their theory of the
incident and their demands for the
resignation of the minister of foreign
affairs as contrary to the constitution
of parliament.
! Formerly I governed in the alb
scence of a minority, but under the
present circumstances the responsible
fty belongs to all parties. 1t is i'm
possible to face the negotiations now
on eoJl without serious detriment if
I'VE change ihe foreign minister"
The Marquis of Perales, on behalf of
the dissident Conservatives, declared
that under the circumstances they felt
compelled to absent themselves until
the Liberals had received satisfaction.
In the chamber of deputies the pre-
mier repeated the statemeit he made
In the senate, adding that he regretted
the absence of the Liberals, because it
prevented Senior Sagasta from defend
ing himself against certain accuse
lions arising out of an erroneous inter-
probation of one of his speeches. Senor
'Canovas referred to the bad impress
sion which had been produced in this
way at Washington, where, he said, it
seemed to be supposed that the sale of
Cuba was possible thing. Spain"
said Senior Canovas. "is not a nation of
merchants. capable Of selling its
honor"
Senior Francisco Sllvela leader of the
dissident Conservatives in the cham
Der, who quarreled with Senor Can
,ovas in 1891 over the expediency of re-
forming the municipal abuses In Mad
Hid, accused the Duke of Tetuan of u
grave error, which could not be righted
'by few eloquent words. He said the
foreign minister ought to expiate his
offense by resigning. In the course of
his speech he described the action of
the United States senate in recognizing
the belligerency of the Cuban insur-
gents as great iniquty and charac-
terized the diplomatic conduct of the
government as altogether blame
worthy, adding an expression of his
doubt as to the intelligence of Senior
Canovas in retaining the Duke of Te-
tnan under the circumstances.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 5.-The con.
struction of a railroad from Vancouver,
or from some Joint east of that place on
the Canadian Pacific line, to Dawson
City and the Klondike country in gen.
eral will not be a very difficult OF ex-
pensive undertaking, in the opinion of
Collingwood Schrieber of Ottawa, who
is now in this city. He has arrived with
a party Of Ottawa people including E..
Necomb, deputy munster of justice.
In discussing the building of road
to Dawson, Mr.. Schrieber said:
h.. ''Two surveys are now being made
from different points on the Canadian
Pacific. The latter company is making
one Of the surveys and the government
is making the other. 1t will be neces-
sary to build only 80 miles of railroad to
make good rail and water route from
the Canadian Pacific to Dawson City.
The railway can be operated the year
round, but during the winter months
the water route will not be open for

sufferer from a scrofulous affection of

FATAL PRAIRIE FIRE.

Death and Devastation in the Province of
Manitoba.
WINNIPEG, Man., Oct. 81 he prairie
fire which ragged all over the >'1ntry
Saturday, famed and driven by a yale
Of wind, died out during the night an
the morning sun dawned upon a terri
BILE scene of death and devastation.
Farmhouses, implements, crops and
livestock were everywhere consumed
and many farmers lost their all.
A most lamentable story comes from
Beauzjour, 40 miles east of this city,
where two women and five children
were burned to death. Fire came upon
their house, which was in the woods,
from two directions simultaneously and
shut off all means of escape. Only a
few charred remains were found.
There were many narrow escapes
Carcasses of horses, cattle and sheep
are lying all over the district and a
number of families OF foreigners are
Homeless and Utterly Destitute.
At Bagot, rs miles west, the Canadian
Pacific railroad station and seven cars,
the Dominion Grain company's elevator
with 10000 bushels of wheat, a number
of stores, a cold storage warehouse and
Farmer Waldron's farm buildings and
crops were totally destroyed. The little
town was practically wiped out of ex-
istence.
At Stony Mountain fire ran up to the
Canadian Pacific railroad platform,
where, by desperate efforts, its progress
was stayed. Much hay and grain was
consumed in this district. =
In the Lake Francis district north
west of the city there was also extern
sive destruction of crops. A young
farmer named Markham was terribly
burned while
Trying to Save His Property.
At Oakland on the Portage branch Of
the Northern Pacific railroad, several
hundred cords of wood and thousands
of tons Of hay were licked up. Just
southwest of this city there is large
hay marsh and fire was driven over
this, consuming everything in its
course.
Nearly every farmer lost his hay and
many also lost their grain and nipple
ments. There were large bands Of
horses and cattle pasturing on the
marsh and the charred carcasses of the
animals dot the ground every few
PAGES. Jack rabbits and prairie chick.
ems were also destroyed. The people in
this district were anxious for some
hours as it was feared that the fire
would come into the suburbs where
many valuable residences are located
A timely change Of the wind averted
this impending danger.

"Jnding from The Times dispatch,
