MADRID, June s. The Premier
Senior Canovas del Castillo, has tend

ton of the cabinet, owing to the Diff
fculty the ministers experience in
carrying on the government in view
of the parliamentary situation caused
by the refusal of the liberals to take
part in the deliberations OF the
cortes. This attitude of the
liberals is due to the
personal encounter between the duke
of Tetuan, the minister for foreign af-
fairs, and Prof. Comas, liberal sena-
tor, on May 81, when the duke slapped
the face of the senator after a heated
debate on the Morgan belligerency

New YORK, June "A Havana spe-

Swallowed by Spanish spies ever since

The Spanish authorities have kept

so that blacklists may be made for the

thizers. Under such circumstances
Judge Calhoun believes that he will

TURKEYS OBJECT
10 to Create Delays in the Peace Ne
gotiations With Greece.
The Turks Assume That ThessaIy Be-
longs Go Them by Conquest-The Pow
ers Must Show a United Front Be-
fore the Sultan Will Recede.

LONDON, June 2.-Eastern affairs ap-
pear to have reached the drifting
stage. The exact position as to the
armistice negotiation is not yet clear.
Evidently it is the object of Turkey to
create delays and to discover any
latent weakness in the European con-
cert.
During the councils of ministers at
the Yildiz Kiosk the peace conditions
have certainly been discussed, but all
mention of Thessaly is studiously
avoided. The assumption seems to be
that Thessaly belongs to Turkey by
conquest, and that there is nothing
more to be said on the subject The
powers will have to show united and
very energetic front before the sultan
will recede from this position.
In the meantime, in order to remove
the impression that she rejects all the
peace proposals, Greece has sent an
other note to her representatives
abroad, repeating that she is prepared
to acquiesce in the decisions of the
powers, but that the payment of a
large indemnity is impossible.
Queen Olga and the Princess Sophia
left Athens by the royal yacht en-
route for the camp of the crown prince
to participate in the cele bration of the
anniversary of his name day. 1t is re-
ported in some quarters that the crown
prince will sail shortly for London.
Edhem Pasha having sent the aide
de camp whom the sultan appointed
to watch him back to Constantinople
under escort as a spy, the officer was
forthwith promoted by the sultan.
A dispatch to the Times from Con-
stantinople says there is strong reason
for believing that Bulgaria is eXerting
influence to induce the sultan to trans
form Macedonia into an autonomous
province under an imperial prince.
