At it's conclusion the report was re-

statement that men in charge Of the

tons recently made in the most solemn form
by the government of his majesty, concerning
the intentions for the future, will also con-
tribute in a large measure to crafty the
wish that your excellency clearly expressed
in your note, namely, that all the people Of
the United States, convinced that we are in
the right, will completely cease to extend un-
lawful aid to the insurgents
When the government Of the United States
shall once be convinced of our being in the
right and when that honest conviction shall
in some manner be made public, but little
more will be required in order that all those
in Cuba who are not merely striving to ac-
eomplish the total ruin Of the beautiful coun-
try in which they were born, being hopeless
of outside help and powerless by themselves.
will lay down their arms. Until that happy
state Of things has been attained, Spain will,
in the just defense not only Of her rights but
also of her duties and honor, continue the
efforts for an early victory, which she is now
exerting, regardless Of the greatest sacrifice.
While having the honor OF bringing, by order
of the government of his majesty, the fore
going declarations to the knowledge OF your
excellency, I improve this opportunity for
reiterating, Mr.. Secretary, the assurance OF

- A Hot Free-forA1l Fight I'M
the Spanish Senate.
The Duke Of Tetuan Boxes
the Ears of Senor Co.
mas, a Liberal.
AMERICAN RELATIONS DISCUSSED.

MADRID, May 21.-The Duke Of
resigned as a result Of an incident in
the senate today when he boxed the
ears Of Senior Comas Senior Canovas,
premier will take the portfolio ad in
term. The Liberal senators have de-
cided to attend no more sessions of the
senate until full satisfaction has been
accorded to Senator Comas and the
Liberal party by the Duke Of Tetuan.
The exciting incident which culmi-
mated in free fight was provoked by
the statement of the Duke of Tetuan
that Senor Sagasta's speech the other
day to the Liberals had contributed to
bring about the vote In the American
senate.
Gen. Lius Pando said: "The thing
now happening is due to the cowardli-
ness and feebleness of the govern
ment."
Senator Comas said: "You will dis
cuss that tomorrow"
1--WE will discuss it, replied the Duke
of Tetuan, "but I will accept dictation
from nobody"
Nor either" retorted Senator
Comas, at the top Of his voice.
At this point the Duke Of Tetuan,
pale with excitement, boxed both ears
of Senator Comas and felled him to the
floor Then Senator Comas threw him
self upon the duke and struck him
heavy blow With his fist. Several SEN
ators intervened, and a general scuf-
fie ensued, with great confusion, and
1t was some time before order was re-
stored. The Duke of Tetuan rendered
his resignation Immediately after the
Incident

WASHINGTON, May 21-The state
ment made by Gen. Felix Agnus to tine
effect that the Republicans canno. con-
troll the stale Of Maryland, caused con-
siderable comment in high political cir
cles today. 1t was generally conceded
that the recent speech of Senator We'll
ington In opposition to the Cuban
cause had produced the result indicated
by the celebrated Republican Balti-
more editor. There has been at no
time harmonious cohesion In the Re-
publican party of Maryland, since their
successful achievement at the polls In
November, 1895, Senator wellington
has assumed the airs of a successful
political boss, and has secured the
ernity of a majority Of the county
Republican leaders. His speech in op-
position to the recognition of Cuban
beliigerency was an unfortunate politi-
cal utterance, because the people Of
Maryland, regardless of party lines,
are almost unanimously in favor Of the
Cuban cause.
Senator German. whose successor IL

deliberated with the seconds and de-
cided that, under the code duello a.
duel was unnecessary.
Senior Moret Prendergast, for
mer minister, asked the government,
on behalf of the Liberals, in the cham
Der Of deputies today, to submit all the
papers relating to the rebellion In Cuba
and to the diplomatic relations Of
Spain with the powers. Senor Canovas,
the premier, replying, said the govern
ment could only attach credit to such
Information as was sent by Capt. Gen.
Weyler. He severely blamed the Amer
lean newspapers for disseminating
false news, and cited as a case in point
recent statements attributed to Consul
General Lee.
Senor Moret Prendergast asked If
1t were true that the United States
senate had recognized the belligerency
of the Cuban insurgents. The premier
replied that the report to this effect
was not surprise to him, as 1t was
a question of creating more difficult.
ties for President Mckinley In conneo-
ton with the tariff bill, but he be-
lieved President Mckinley, like Mr..
Cleveland, would decide for himself in
such a matter
In the course Of his reply, Senior Can
ovas said that the exchanges of opinion
between Spain and the other European
powers on the subject of Cuba had all
ways been unofficial. The powers had
shown great reserve in defining their
views, and this attitude had led the
government to believe that they were
unwilling to offer any effective inter-
vention between Spain and the United
States. The exchange of views had
been friendly, but Spain had refused
the proffered mediation. The guarded
tone adopted by the premier in refer
ence to the belligerency vote of the
senate has made a profound impress.

lobbies is that President Mckinley and
Secretary Sherman will not allow the
senate to drive them into conflict with
Spain.

tional.
PHILADELPHIA, May 21.-Today's
session Of the legislative committee in.
vestigating the management of the
state penitentiaries was sensational.
Judge James Cay Gorden, Of the Phil
adelphia court of common pleas was
the star witness. He said the official
reports Of the prison were filled with
falsehood, and that he could prove
that the treatment Of many convicts
had been brutal and cruel. He said
the institution reported that there were
ten insane patients there in Novem-
Der last. and that an investigation
made by him showed that there were
fifty at that time. OF these, he said,
nine are now in insane asylums and
one is dead from the result Of cruel
treatment at the prison. Thirty-six
of the insane convicts, he added, are
still in cells in the prison. He in
stanced the case Of McCue, a prisoner
whom he had ordered to be sent from
the prison to the Norristown state in
sane asylum, and who died the next
day, as alleged by the judge, from
beating he received the night before
his removal from the penitentiary. He
told of another insane convict. coll
ored man named Prentiss, who for
eight months has been tied to the
prison steam pipes every night.

WASHINGTON. May 21.-No official
information could be obtained as to
what action the house may take on the
Cuban resolution passed by the senate
yesterday, but it was understood that
Speaker Reed would have a conference
with the president on the subject at
an early day, and no action would be
taken until after that conference. The
Inference was that the action Of the
house managers would be guided to a
large extent by the results of the con-
ference. Senator Davis, chairman Of
the committee on foreign relations, had
conference with the president by ap-
pointment today. It is understood to
have had reference to the effect Of the
senate's action on the Morgan Cuban
beligerency resolution, and upon the
general subject of the administration s
attitude towards Cuba.

WATER UNDER THE TOMBS.
Workmen Tap the Greek Which Years
Ago Fed the Collect Pond.

New York, Aug. 28.-The laborers en-
gagged in removing the foundation stones
of the old Tombs building yesterday
struck a spring which produced a
stream of clear, cold water
Its a mineral spring. said one of the
workmen.
That's what it is" said another, land
who knows but what that water is
worth 500 a bottle
Il hope it doesn't cost me that to get
rid of it," said Patrick Cody, the con-
tractor in charge of the work.
Cody got a gang of men to dig q
trench to the old Tombs sewer and the
water was turned into it. 1t kept COM
ing so rapidly that the contractor sent
for a civil engineer. The engineer eX-
amined the surroundings and said that
the water came from an underground
creek which many years ago was the
feeder of the old Collect Pond. The
Collect Pond existed before the Tombs
prison was built.
