message of the president of the republic
of Costa RIGA to the national congress
of that country, which opened its regu,,
lar season on May 1, has been received
by Senior Calvo, the minister of Costa

engaging the governments attention.
The president says that public order has
not suffered the slightest change and
that since Costa Rica has entered upon
the fullness of her sovereignty at no time
has the status of her international rela-
tons appeared in every sense more salts

composed of the states of Salvador, Hon
duras and Nicaragua, and says it consti-
tutes an act of sufficient significance in
the political march of Central America.

of San Antonio second vice president, and
r. II. Walker secretary and treasurer.
Mr.. Walker has been secretary of the

the Spanish soldiers by destroying plan
tations and business.
"If it was true that insurgents were
thus destroying the property of Ameri'
can citizens, was it violation of the
rules Of war that they were banished OF
put to death?" he asked, and added:
II would like n report from the com.
mittee on foreign relations on that point.
He did not know whether if a Cuban
or an American citizen were caught red
handed in such business, he should not
be put to death. Federal soldiers had
been executed in the American rebellion
after trial by drum head court martial
for burning a military bridge. Even
though Spain had refused to pay Ameri-
can claims Mr.. Hoar argued, it did not
follow that she would not be compelled
to pay them England had once refused
point blank to pay the Alabama claims,
and the same power which had forced
England to pay these claims would force
Spain to pay.
Mr. Thurston of Nebraska took the
floor intending to address the senate when
the Cuban debate was resumed. At d
o'clock the senate adjourned.

A GAMBLING GRANT.
Americans Obtain Concession
From Mexico.

San Francisco. May 21.-It has leaked
out here that the concession obtained by
Jesse Grant and his associates for the
Mexican government for lands surround
ing the famous hot springs of Tia Juana,
across the boundary line covers also a
privilege for running lottery and gam
bling devices. 1t is said that Grant does
not intend to enter the business, but that
eastern people are prepared to take con-
troll of this feature of the concession while
Grant attends to the colonization and de-
velopment of the mineral waters. The
identity of the eastern people is not
known, but it has been learned that the
Dryers are figuring ON the purchase of
the Rierson and San Antonio ranches,
some miles below Tia Juana, to be used
for raising racing stock. A local real es-
tate man who is handling the matter for
Grant and his associates is authority for
the statement that the intended pur-
chasers declare they will build the finest
gambling house in the world at the
springs, to cost $2000,000, to include
every game of chance known, with lot
terry connection. The deal is to be closed

Statement by M, Ralli,

Athens, May 20-M. Rail-, the premier,
in the course of an interview today, said:
"The indemnity that Greece will pay
Turkey will be in the proportion to the
resources of Greece and her financial po-
sition. Greece can not accept a modifica-
ton of the strategic frontier, which would
render easy the landing on Greek terri
tory by armed bands and which would
compel Greece to maintain a numerous
army in order to prevent such incur
sions."

CRISIS APPROACHING.
Overthrow of the CanOvas Ministry

Madrid, May 19.-At meeting of lib

| Sagasta, former premier, made an i'm
pOrtant speech, in the course of which
he said:

self in the peninsula and menaces us with
new war, thanks to the impunity it en-
joys while the seeds of separation are
terminating in some of the provinces.
'T'he picture could not be gloomier.
We have war i'm Cuba and in the Philip
pine islands, and we have attempts at
civil war at home. The government is
not responsible for them, but it is unfor-
tunate in its administration. Reforms in
Cuba will not solve the Cuban problem"
Senior Sagasta severely impeached the
conduct of the government in financial
political and diplomatic emergencies, and
said:
at is in this way that a new concert
has arisen with the United States. We
wish to know what has become of the
SS000,000 are due to the army? In
Cuba no important problem has been
solved and there has only been an aggra-
walton of long existing ills.
I'm the face of this situation, the lib
eral party has decided to break the truce
it has accorded to the government within
the last two years The government
has existed until now because of the
compliance of the liberals. Henceforth
the liberals will throw all the RESPONSE
bility on the government"
This speech was greatly applauded and
portends stormy sittings for both cham
bers. Many liberals predict that Senior
Canovas will be thrown from power with
in a fortnight. Political passions are
thoroughly excited.
