Miami. Fla, June 3.-Captain Sabate

Special Inspector of Customs Handle
ton of New River inlet at o'clock
Monday morning, while she was trans
ferring arms, ammunition and coal to
the Dauntless, were arrested by United
States Marshal Mckay last night
Through their attorneys they waived
examination, and were placed under
$100 bonds each for appearance before
United States Commissioner Eagan at
Jacksonville on the Sth. They are
charged with violation of section 3,177
of the revised statues in unlawfully re-
fusing to acknowledge the authority
of United States officer and forcibly
obstructing him in the performance of
his duties.
The defense, it is understood, will be
that Hambleton was asked to show his
badge of authority or warrant for his
attempt to board the boat with cock
ed gun and to interfere with the exer-
else of the rights of the crew in legiti-
mate traffic, which he did not show,
and that he was pettishly oficious in
the display of authority. 1t is said fur
Their that he was not molested by any
of the Biscayne's crew, and that if
they had not interfered he would have
been handled more severely by the Gu
bans aboard the Biscayne.

Madrid, June 3.-The premier, Senior
Canovas del Castillo, has rendered to
the queen regent the resignation of
the cabinet, owing to the difficulty the
ministers experience in carrying on the
government in view of the parliament
airy situation caused by the refusal of
the Liberals to take part in the de-
alterations of the cortes. This attitude
of the Liberals is due to the personal
encounter between the Duke of Te-
tuan, the minister for foreign affairs
and Professor Comas, a Liberal sena-
tor, on May 81.
The queen regent accepted the resig-
nation of the cabinet, which has caused
profound sensation. Before finally
taking this step her majesty begged
Senior Canovas to remain in Office UNI
til today, in order that she might have
another opportunity to consider the
matter in council, but this only meant
that the resignation would be accepted
Senior Canovas rendered his resigna-
ton because he could not again under
take to re-establish relations with the
Liberals. He preferred to leave to the
crown full liberty to decide as to the
best solution.

on the scene trying to quell the dis

When Ros ues Fall Out

A report came from Washington last
week to the effect that Senators Aldrich
and Hawley, of Connecticut, had set to
on Tuesday night in the rooms of the SUBJ
committee on the tariff bill over the tobacco
schedule. Senator Hawley was there to
urge an increase in the rates on leaf tobacco,
in which the tobacco growers of his state
are interested. Senator Aldrich became
impatient and gave him to understand, as
he has given several other Senators to
understand. that the bill would have to 90
substantially as it came from the commit
tee or it could not be passed by the Senate.
High words followed. and according to one
report blows were exchanged. II so early
in the history of this measure bad blood is
engendered among brethren, we may look
for more stormy times among them when
further progress is made upon il. The
measure is disgraceful enough in its false
pretences Of raising revenue, and in its con-
cessions to wealthy trusts and syndicates,
without any personal collisions between
members because they are not allowed q
fair share of the swag. There is the hope,
however, that when these rogues fall out
