TEHIS ENDS Il.
The Cuban War Now Soon to

Spanish Cabinet Resigns and

of the Island.
The Excitement i'm Madrid is
Intense.

Madrid, June 3.-The cabinet has re-
| signed in body and the greatest uncer-
tainty prevails.
The crisis is extremely grave. The ex-
citement in political and financial circles
is intense.
XII. in 1885 has Queen Christina found
herself in so serious and difficult a posi-
ton
One of two things she must do; she may
keep Senor Canovas as premier with his
conservative cabinet intact or modified
and keep General Weyler in Cuba to per
severe in his political policy with the am
pie means recently voted by the cortes
Or she may call on Senor Sagasta to
form a liberal cabinet in which Senior
Moret probably would be minister of for
eign affairs, with opportunity to follow
his well-known inclination to come to an
understanding with the United States;
Senor Maura, the great home ruler. Min
lister of the colonies; Marshal Lopez Do
minguez, war minister, Spain's best fin
aneier; Senor Gamazo, minister of fin
ance, and which cabinet probably would
send Marshal Campos to Cuba with full
power to conciliate the insurgents and
the loyalists by establishing more radical
home rule than Senor Canovas contem-
plated and thus disarm the United States.
The queen can only pursue the latter
course after duly considering all the pros
poets, because it would be virtually stalk
ing everything on the success of the lib
eral government and policy. The Liberals
seem confident, the Conservatives are
downcast. In the military and political
clubs the majority believe that the queen
will decide to have a Liberal government.
The general impression throughout the
city is Senior Sagasta is likely to succeed
Senior Canovas as prime minister as the
latter could hardly revise the colonial
policy or recall Weyler.
The retiring premier. Senor Canovas del
Castillo, is quoted as saying that not
even the members of the cabinet knew of
his intention to resign until his resigna-
ton had been effected.
The published statement that the Span
ish government has received a note from
the government of the United States dis
approving of the retention of General
Weyler as captain general of Cuba is
Officially denied.

WILL SAY STOP 1T.
Calhoun Will Urge Mckinley to
Stop Cuban War Peaceably
Or by Force.

New York. June 3.-A special to the
Herald from Havana, Cuba, June 2, via
Key West, Fla, says:
Mr.. Calhoun goes home puzzled. He
is to sail on the Ward line steamer.
Many contradictory stories of the in
surrectiOn have been poured into his
ears. He has declined to be interview
ed but your correspondent has abso-
lutte assurance as to the nature of his
views.
Mr.. Calhoun is for peace, if peace be
possible, and if need be for war. He
will recommend that the war here be
stopped at all hazards. He will urge
in support of his position the conditions
of Americans and American interests
here and with more force the frightful
condition of the country folk, which he
knows from personal experience. And
so, in the long run, Mr.. Calhoun will
urge President Mckinley with what
ever weight he has as the presidents
personal representative here, and will
suggest that Spain be told that war on
women and children on the island of
Cuba. must cease.
Personally, Mr.. Calhoun is not in
sympathy with the jingoes. But his
heart has been stirred by the woes of
the wretcned, starving reconcentrados.
He has said as much, and when he gets
Mr. McKinley's ear he viii urge that
Spain be asked diplomatically to stop
the war. He will dwell upon the pos
sibility of the good offices of the United
States government, but in the end Mr..
calhoun with the memory of Matan-
zas upon him, with the memory of the
dying and the lack of collins. will sug-
gest that President Mckinley use what
means he can to stop the war of eX-
termination.
Mr.. Calhoun said that while he was
merely counsel to General Lee in the
Ruiz case, he could not be supposed to
remain here with eyes and ears closed.
That, Interpreted, means that he is to
report on the proceedings of insurrec-
ton, the condition of the country, and
suggest a possible remedy for the evils
which have fallen upon stricken Cuba.
The Ruiz investigation is closed. AS
predicted, the matter is exactly where
General Lee left it in February last.

Pythian hall this morning, which were
arranged for the reception last night

and cut flowers to the extent of several
bushel baskets full-and all in a fine

Send them to the sick members of

Capt. Walker has resumed work
with the Bogue Chitto snag boat.
commencing at the mouth of the
East Bogue removing snags, logs
aud other Instructions from the
bed of the river. This Is Capt.
Walkers fourth season on improve
ment Of Bogue Chitto River. We
as citizens, are aware of the won
derful benefit that has been done on
the mouth Of the East Bogue.
There has been depth of five feet
secured at low water, which is y
feet more than there was when
Capt. Walker first came in the
stream in 1898. We wish to call
your attention 10 the fact that last
log season, the logs were all put
out by current. something that has
not been done, I might say, in 50
years. Now. friends and citizens,
we must consider the benefit that
it would be to the people in general.
to have a good stream made of the
river, SO that we could use the ma
terial and lie benefited by shipping.
Therefore, l must take it ON my
self to say that it is our duty to
rally together and ask our Con-
gresham for larger appropriations.
Uncle Sam is doing a great deal
in the way Of river improvement,
and would probably do more for
us if we would appreciate it more.
Very respectfully.
