Crisis Near In Madrid.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Madrid says: In the
council of ministers, Sagasta was very
much depressed, owing, it is believed,
to the attitude of Silvela. A crisis is
generally spoken Of. The peace COM
missioners for the Paris conference will
only be nominated after the debate on
the protocol. The names of the COM
mittee published in New York are to-
tally delusive, because at the present
moment nothing is certain-not. even
the duration of the ministry-and the
commissioners must absolutely hold 4

Efforts i'll this direction, however, are
of no avail. 1t is announced with much
emphasis that there will be no more

does not admit of any further reduction
in the army and efforts are being made
TO put those volunteers who are retained
in the service as near as possible to the
footing of.the regulars in the matter Of
drill and discipline. An effort is being
made to eradicate the amateurish idea
of independence among the troops, and
to bring them down to the strictest dis
cipline. 49,. .~~-
The purpose at the outset when the

is announced positively that there will
be no more mustered out, no matter
what influence is brought to bear.

It does not lie in the painters fancy 10
imagine a prettier picture than that Of a
young girl, with lips luscious with the
promise of love, half parted in the smiles
of happy dreamland. The mind of happy
maidenhood is a clear and polished mirror,
which when the wits go wandering into the
ghostland Of dreams, reflects the impress
sions of waking hours. If those impress
sions are pleasant and painless and happ
she will smile in her sleep. If the impress
sions are those of suffering woman tor
tured with the special ailments to which
the feminine organism is liable, the picture
is spoiled by the lines of suffering and de-
spondency. Maladies of this nature unfit

pable motherhood. They incapacitate her

PHILIPPINES REBELS
They Possess Nearly All of the
Island of Panay. Sisk
SITUATION REGARDED CRITICAL.

Our Government Can DO Nothing to
Curb Aguinaldo's Followers Pend
ing Peace Negotiations-Fore
Are Begging American Protection.
Washington, Nov. 19.-News of a
mixed character came to the navy de-
partment yesterday from Admiral
Dewey touching the situation in the
Philippines. The admiral sent two OF
his warships, the Charleston and the
Concord, some time ago to the south
ward from Manila to ascertain whether
there was truth in the reports that the
insurgents had expended their activl-
ties in that direction. Yesterday he
cabled as follows:
charleston and Concord arrived to-
day from Iloilo Glass reports that the
entire Island of Panay is in possession
of the insurgents, except Iloilo, which
is defended by 800 Spanish troops. All
foreign citizens there beg for American
protection. The Island of Negros has
declared independence and desires an
American protectorate."
Glass is the commander of the Char
lesion. So far nothing has been done
by the administration towards curbing
the insurgents in their operations save
verbal representations from the Amer
lean commanders to Aguinaldo, in
which 1t Is pointed out to him that 1t
would be good policy, in view Of the
probability of the annexation of the
islands to the United States, to pursue
a course that would not be obnoxious
to the United States. But the situation
is now regarded to be critical.
AS far as the Spaniards are concern
ed, perhaps, they can be left to take
care of themselves, but the foreign
residents at Iloilo are differently re-
garded. The difficulty in the situation
is that, with the best intentions to in
tervene to protect the Europeans and
other foreigners and to save the city
Of Iloilo, the second in Importance In
the Philippine group, from looting the
United States forces appear to be es-
topped, under the rules of war, from
moving from their positions. Such is
the construction placed upon the clause
in the protocol relating to suspension
of hostilities.
The immediate effect OF this state OF
affairs may be to hasten action in the
Paris conference, for it is only by the
termination of that tribunal that the
United States can come to the relief of
the beleaguered Spaniards in Iloilo and
at other points.
1t is said in effect, however, that n
total disagreement at Paris may result
in speedier action than if the commits
sioners agreed upon the main principles
of the Philippines cession, for in such
cases several additional sessions prob
ably would be required in order tC
arrange the details of the treaty. 1t is
now thought to be certain that tbs
commission at meeting next Monday
or Tuesday will do one of two things
either agree to the cession of the Phil
| ippines or note a disagreement and dis
solve the meeting, for the administra-
| tion is not disposed to tolerate further
delay and has so instructed the Uni
ted States commissioners.
The latter sent long cablegram yes
terday in cipher. The deciphering oc'
| cuped the entire official day. anC
| meantime there were rumors touching
