This was followed by loud conserva-
tive cheers and republican protests.
The republicans and carlists greeted
| Senior Sagasta with angry denuncia-
| lions, shaking their fists and giving
other marks of disapproval, while the
republicans and monarchists exchanged
hot recriminations. But the debate it
self fell short of expectations, Senior
plantations depriving 1t of interest. The
heads of all political sections agreed
not to oppose any measure the govern
ment required to conduct the war.
The chief interest attached to the
speech of Senior Jose Canalejas, who
declared that he belonged to no politi-
cal party and could speak with entire
| Independence.
! The editor of FL Heraldo severely
criticised the unpreparedness of the
government. He said that he learned
while on his visit to America and Gu
| ba that the Americans meant war and
| Were rapidly preparing for II, being
| perfectly acquainted with SPANS
means of attack and defense, but, he
| said, had the Spanish government not
been so yielding, and had 1t confronted
the Yankees with n powerful army,
| they would never have gone to war.
| He said he considered 1t preferable to
| give Cuba independence than embark
on foreign war without n proper prep
| arations.
1t Is believed the government intends
| to close the parliament as soon as the
budget is voted. Senior Gasett's pro-
| posal to vote censure upon the govern
ment is likely to produce warm de-
bate. The minority, though small, Is

average of the deputies.
| Monsignor Horreria, cardinal arch

New York. May 4.-The- Tribune
says: Unless the war is brought to
a quick termination or Spain removes
the embargo that she has placed on
sulphur as contraband of war, the
manufacturers in this country will
probably be soon obliged to consider
ably raise the price of the cheaper
kinds of paper. Birthstone Is used
in large quantities In the manufacture
of the paper used for newspapers and
magazines. and a raise in the price
of sulphur would have the effect of
raising the cost OF production of news
papers to very appreciate extent
The amount of birthstone in this
country at present is extremely small,
and there seems at present no indica-
ton that the stock can be increased.
Last year 11S.137 tons came to this
country from Sicily, and the year be.
fore the importation was even larger,
The raw substance known as brim-
stone comes exclusively from Sicily,
most of 1t being shipped from the port
of Palermo. Besides being used by the
manufacturers OF wood pulp and paper,
the makers Of fertilizers and sulphuric
acid are also large consumers OF II.
while after 1t has been converted into

no substitute having yet been found
to take the place of sulphur in the
making of what is known as hard
rubber.
John C. Kircher. of the firm of
Malcolm & Co., one of the largest
firms of birthstone importers in this
country, was seen by a Tribune re-
porter He said, that In spite of a
published report that Spain had re-
moved the embargo on birthstone the
answer to telegrams sent by his firm
to Cictly showed tina 1t was still looked
upon as contraband of war. The
agents in England absolutely refused
to consign any birthstone here, and
though some attempts had been made
to have II brought in via Montreal, he
thought they would fail. as the Brit
ish authorities in his opinion would
refuse to allow the shipment a
month ago the price Of birthstone here
was about s22 ton. AT the present
time 1t was $40 an ton. and would in
all probability reach much higher
figure before the end of the war The
United States, Mr.. Kircher added. was
at present almost bare of birthstone.
The price would have already become
much higher than 1t is but for the
fact that after the declaration of war
the Spaniards let several ships car
rying the commodity pass through the
straits of Gibraltar without stopping
them.
