LONDON, Sept. 2l.-Mr. Hannis Taylor. late
United States Minister to Spain, arrived In Lon
don from San Sebastian to-day. Mr.. Taylor de-
clinod to discuss tho pending situation between
Spain and the United States until he had sew
cred his connection with tho diplomatic service
at Washington, which no would do about the
middle of October. but he gave THE Sun reporter
q clear exposition of tho present political crisis
In Spain.
~ great struggle Is going on in internal poll
tcs,' Mr.. Taylor said, (which involves an at
tempt on tho part Of Gen. Azc.rrnga, the pres
ent President Of tho Council, to concentrate In
the Cabinet representatives of all tho factions
Of the Conservative party. The largest section
lie led by Senior Silvela, who stood apart from
tho late Premier c novas because he had de-
clared the party to have been corrupted by
Romero Roblcdo, whom wo would call tue Boss
Tweed of Spain.
1T is not likely that Silvela and Romero
Robledo can be united. II this Is true tho pres
ent Ministry must soon give way to tho Liberals
under the lead of Senior Sagasta. What OBJECT
the latter will have upon Cuban affairs l do not
know, as Sagasta has not manifested any
stronger disposition in favor OF real Cuban au-
tonomy than Canovas did.
The Spanish people are not yet sufficiently
educated 10 govern themselves upon republican
principles. Senior CASTELAR, Is right in not wish
ing for a Spanish republic yet. although he Is a
republican. The country, however, has strong
democratic leanings. and will eventually be q
republican stronghold"
Mr.. Taylor intends to visit Oxford. and will
sail for New York on Oct. : on the American
line steamer st. Paul.
MADRID, Sept. "l.-schor silvela. tho leader
Of the dissident Conservatives, declares that the
dissidents will not cooperate with the Govern
mcnt unless Captain-Gencral Wcyler is recalled
from Cuba. The situation in Spain is of tho
gravcst character. he says, and the modification
OF the Cabine, by the retirement OF the Duke of
Tctuan and other Ministers would not create a
Government that would be capable of coping
with the difficulties OF The position. Senior Sill.
vela further says that he and his followers, to-
gcthcr with the Liberals. will join in supporting
the rejection OF any new demands made by the
United States.

VIC IEH4N,S HOUSE BURNED.
The Yacht Builders Models. In an AdjoIninE
RuiIdIng. Were saved with DImcuIt,.

Early yesterday morning the house which for
many years had been the home Of the yacht
builder and skipper Patrick Mcclellan. in Ba-
yonnc. was entirely destroyed by fire. 1t was at
the foot OF East Centre street and was one OF
tho Oldest buildings in Hudson county. 1t is
supposed that the house was erected in 100.
Its appearance indicated its antiquity. II VI
built OF rough stones and hcwn tinibers and
two stories and u half high.
Nothing was saved from the dwelling which
contained many curios from all pG.ts of the
world collected by Mr.. Mcclellan. The fire
men were able. however. to cNtinguish the fire,
which had been communicated TO tho adjoining
frame structure. in which Mr.. McGichan keeps
the models and mcmCntos OF numerous yachts
AMI other craft designed and constructed by
him. Mr.. McGiClan estimates his loss at more
than $1,000. partly covered by insurance. 1t Is
supposed I at the fire was caused by u defective
iiuc. as tho flames spread between the inside
woodwork and the stone exterior.

Special cable De,pateh to THE suS.
LONDON, Sept. 2l.-Tho meeting tomorrow
of tho representative OF all tho banks In tho
Clearing House to discuss the situation arising
from tho recent letter OF Mr.. Hugh Surth. Gov.
crnor OF tho Bank of England, TO Sir Michael
Hicks-Boach,C Chancellor Of the EXchcQuer. rcla-
two TO the holding OF onc-nfth of the banks
note reserve in silver, will probably result In tho
adoption Of q rcbuke and q sharp protest against
the banks action.
A member Of tho Clearing House Committee
says that no definite proposals have been formu-
lated, as 1t is understood that there is some diff.
ference Of opinion among the members. Finan'
cial circles AFRO becoming seriously agitated as
the full bearings Of the question are developed.
The increased uneasincss is due moro to tho
attitude Of the Government than to the action OF
the bank.
Mr.. Alfred s. Harvey, manager of Glyn. Mills,
Currie s. Co.. nc OF the strongest financial In
stitutions of London, said to The Sun reporter
to-day. 1t Is tho possible change In the atti-
tude OF the Government that we most tcar. Inc
letter OF the Bank Governor means nothing.
We had just been informed by our American
agents that the silver agitation was suusiuihe'
when apparently the British Government con-
templates giving it q flip. FREQ coinage In
France would. OF course. mean tho bankruptcy
OF the Bank OF France, but any arrangement by
Senator Wolcott with tho French Government
would give the appearance OF feasibility to his
proposals"
A despatch from Bombay describes tho silver
market there as very excited. Silver, 1t says,
Is in strong demand owing to the up-country
bazasrs deduciug from the statement OF MT.
Hugh Smith that the Bank OF England VIII
shortly be n buyer and also TO tho belief that u
further import duty is imminent, and that tho
minis may possibly be reopcncd. The price has
accordingly risen since Thursday from oT%
rupees per 100 tolas TO 80 rupees.
The Standard points 10 this as an instance OF
the incalculable mischief clumsy exhibitions OF
humor in business affairs may do. 1t urges the
bank representatives at their meeting TO NOR
row to formulate a protest against the action OF
the Bank Of England. but says ii fears that the
meeting may end in talk, especially as the
| Boards OF Directors of the banks lack a strong
leader. and the Clearing House Cotnmittee has
not a definite mandate to represent the oahAs.
