LIBERALS REFUSE.
They VIII Not Return to Parlia-
ment Until Given Satisfaction
for the Insult.


ment Until Given Satisfaction
for the Insult.
MADRID, SPAIN, May 25.-In accord
ance with the request of the Government
supporters in the Cortez. the President of
the Chamber OF Representatives to-day
visited Sagasta and asked him to influence
the return to Parliament o the Liberals
who declined to attend sittings until they
receive satisfaction for the affront put
upon them by the Duke of Tetuan in box
ing the ears of Comas, the Liberal Sena-
tor, after an alteration in tie lobby of
the Cortes.
Sagasta thanked the President for his
courtesy, but said he regretted that he
could not advise the Liberals TO com ply
with his request. He added that the
differences OF the Liberals were not with
the majority In the Cortes but with the
Government, which must first give salts
faction to the Liberals before they would
return to their legislative duties.
The Senate and house of Representa-
tives met to-day, the Ministerialsts alone
attending. Senior Castellane. Minister OF
the Colonies, su omitted bills for loan to
cover the expenses of the campaign in the
Philippine Islands, and also credits to en-
able the Government to continue the war
in Cuba.
The newspapers here consider the situa-
ton very grave.

sis enough for me, and ought to be
enough for all Spaniards." The dispatch
adds that Morel also asked on what side
the sYmpathies Of European nations were
enlisted in the Cuban war. Canovas re-
piled that he positively knew Spain had
the sympathy of Europe. and for this rea-
son the Government needed the advice OF
foreign nations 10 establish reforms in
Cuba. The Prime Minister said also that
public opinion was in favor OF reforms to
hasten the pacification of Cuba.
1t is believed Morefs question is mere
preliminary to bitter campaign against
the Govern ment in the Cortes if a minis
terial crisis arises.
Famine is making ravages in the prov
ince of Matanzas. Both Spaniards and
Cubans are perishing. The city OF Ma
| tanzas itself is in dire distress. At Carde-
mas, same province, the depreciation of
paper money has reached ridiculous ex-
treme. Ten dollars in paper is worth only
| so cents in silver.
The distribution of relief to American
citizens here will probably produce con-
| fiict with the Spanish Government II the
| $50, 900 voted by the American Congress Is
really to be applied in favor OF the starV-
| ing Americans.
The Spanish army is hostile to the idea
of American Consuls distributing rellef,
and this plan is locked upon by the Gov
ernment officials as involving interference
by the United States in Spain's affairs.
They say that the food and money should
| be given to the Spanish authorities, who
would take care of the distri button.
Calhoun and Lee Will probably return
| Wednesday from MatanZas. 1t is gener-
ally believed here that if Calhoun intends
to proceed farther east than Matanzas
| Weyler will interpose objections.

MAY DELAY PROPOSED
RELIEF.
President Mckinley Turns
Over the Distribution to
the War Departm ent.
WARD LINE SHIP FURNISHED
FREE OF CHARGE.
The Spanish GoVernm ent Afraid to
Bring Up the Question Of Re-
mitting Customs Taxes.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 25.-After
discussing With the Cabinet the matter OF
devising means for distributing relief to
suffering Americans in Cuba the Presi-
dent took positive action this afternoon bv
turning the whole matter over to the COM
missary department of the army under
directions of the Secretary of War.
The general opinion was expressed at
the meeting that the appropriation would
not be sufficient to meet the demands any
length of time, as 100 Americans need i'm
mediate relief, ana it is likely the Presi-
dent will have to ask for more monev.
The meeting of the American consular
officers is to be held at Havana tomorrow
to consider the means of making an effec-
tive campaign of relief, and the result of
this exchange of views will be telegraphed
to the State Depar ment.
Commlssary- General Sullivan had a
talk with Secretary Alger about purchas-
ing food and other necessities, and will
set to work at once to carry out the wishes
of the President r. A. c. Smith and
Colonel John ]. McCook OF New York to-
day rendered to the Government one of
the Ward line vessels for use III transport
ing -four and provisions 10 Cuba. The
generous offer was accepted at once. The
hip will carry food, clothing, medicines.
ETC., and will be used TO convey destitute
Americans who desire TO leave the coun-
try. Smith said the vessel would be at
the disposal of the State Department at
any time.
Though assurances have been received
that Spain would cooperate in the distri-
button of supplies, it is now learned that
uuties will probably be levied on them
The question of remitting the duties had
not occurred to the Span ism Government,
whose idea was that the supplies would
b. purchased in Cuba and not in the
United States, and be furnished to needy
Americans, under the direction of Consul
General Fee at Havana and Consul Hyatt
at Santiago.
In both of these officials Spain has con-
fdence, but other consular officers are
suspected of sympathy and even collu-
sion with the insurgents, and the Madrid
and Havana authorities did not want
them to have a hand in giving out the
supplies. They are afraid the pro-
Cuban Consuls would furnish aid and.
comfort 10 the enemy. Remittance of the
duties can be secured only by royal decree
or act OF the Cortes; but Spain is afraid to
resort TO either OF these methods. To
bring up the subject in the Cortes might
precipitate fiery discussion OH the Cuban
question and the downfall of the Canovas
Ministry. 1t is Claimed by the Spanish
authorities that royal decree would
surely result in an Interpolation OF the
Government in the Cortes and bring about
similar state of affairs.
The new complication may cause fur
ther delay in the relief measures Com
missary- General Sullivan will purchase
supplies either in New Orleans or New
York. Nothing will be bought in Cuba,
where prices of everything are very high.

With view 10 preven ling brigandage

the admirals commanding the foreign
fleets in Cretan waters would not allow
him to do so unless ne took the cannons
that were in possession OF the insurgents
at Akrotiri.
Rail-, following the receipt of the dis
patch, visited Egerton, the British Min
lister, and protested against the action oi
the admirals as illogical and unjust, de-
ciaring that Staikos could not force the
insurgents to give up the cannon. Later
Ralli instructed Siaikos to request the in

HAVANA, CUBA (via Key West Fla),
May % The Spanish forces of San Quen-

Calderon, near Managua, province of
Havana. The sick and wounded Cuba 8
in the hospital were slain, also two
women acting as nurses. One of the
nurses behaved very bravely and fought
against the assaiIants TO defend her life.
The other begged for mercy, crying and

In the province of Havana the war is

Developments Connected With the

ROME. ITALY. May 25.-Concernlng the
connection of ex-Premier Crispi with the
bank scandals, one OF Crispi's intimate
friends gives the following account of his
transactions:
Shortly before the election of 1895
Crispi, with the assent of his colleagues,
asked the Bank of Naples for loan of
400 600 lire for election expenses, the
money to be repaid from the secret service
funds. Shortly afrerward came the
downfall OF the Crispi Cabinet, at which
time only 900. 600 lire of the loan had been
repaid.
''Crispi at once informed the King of
his distressed condition. His Majesty

WASHINGTON. D. ca, May 25. -
Special Treasury Agent Moore, stationed
at San Francisco, has made report to
the department. in which he argues
against an increase in the duty on opiuni
in the Senate tariff bill from Sc to So a
pound. He bases the objection to an in
crease on The experience of the custom
service in San Francisco. When opium
was assessed at $12 the drug was smuggled
in to the States in large quantities.
After the duty was reduced to S. SNUG
Cling practically ceased, and a larger
revenue was secured than under the
higher duty. He thinks $5 would be
safer duty. The officials at the treasury
agree with Moore's views
