and young, until at six o'clock, when
the doors were opened, the procession
commenced to stream past the cata-
falque. The latter had lighted can
dies at each corner and a large gilt
cross at its head.
BY ten o'clock it was computed that
100 persons to the minute were passing
the body, and at noon over 10000 peo-
pie had already taken last glance at
the remains of the great statesman.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the
liberal leader in the house of commons,
who arrived at noon, was greatly
moved.
AS the afternoon advanced, the un-
ending stream heightened. About 1000

pie had passed the coffin.

A SECOND MANILA.
Spaniards Fear 1t Awaits Cervera and
His Ships mt SantiagO-Sagas-
ta's Policy Outlined.

Madrid, May 27.-A repetition of the
Manila disaster at Santiago de Cuba is
feared by every Spaniard, as all admit
in confidence if Admiral Cervera is left
to fight against forces three times great
err in numbers than his own.
The uneasiness about the fate of that
squadron hemmed in at Santiago has
risen to the highest pitch. Notwith-
standing that the official reports de-
clare that Admiral Cervera's position
there is secure, as he can defy all efforts
of the American navy to enter the bay
or to force its way past the batteries
commanding the narrow channel at the
entrance, public opinion is decidedly
against his staying at Santiago. Some
newspapers clamor for his getting out
as quickly as possible and making for
Havana or those American coast towns
which are least fortified.
Madrid, May 27.-Sagasta has out
lined Spain's policy as follows: There
will be no fight at Santiago unless Ger
vera desires it. The Americans will
find the Santiago forts and the ships
in the harbor very different from those
destroyed by Dewey at Manila. If the
Americans are waiting for naval
battle before they attempt to invade
Cuba, they will need considerable pa
tience."
Madrid, May 27.-The newspapers
here continue to urge the cutting of
the American cable connections across
the Atlantic if the Cuban cables are
severed.
London, May 27.-There are renewed
sinister predictions of an impending
revolution in Spain, contained in a
