HALEY'S BAND,
1t Will Play Tomorrow Night for the
Morton Cadets.

1t VIII Play Tomorrow Night for the
Morton Cadets.
The testimonial concert to be rendered
the Morton Cadets tomorrow night at the
National Theater will draw many persons,
not only on account Of the fact that 1t is
given in aid of the Morton Cadets, the rep
resentative military company Of the ma
tonal capital and the military champions
of the United States, but because the con-
cert will be a really notable musical event,
and well worth the attention that will be
bestowed upon it. The concert is given for
the purpose of raising the debt that the
Morton Cadets incurred in their journey to
San Antonio, Tex, last year, where they
went to uphold their title of military cham
rions Of the United States and to retain
possession OF the Galveston cup. 1t was
confidently expected that the boys would
win first prize, and SO be enabled to meet
their expenses by this means, but slipping
up on this proposition through the Ques-
tionable decision of the judges at that drill,
they were put under obligatio which they
have not been able to raise up to this time.
The friends of the company have therefore
CS me forward with this measure Of relief.
Baiey's Military Concert Band will be the
principal feature and will, in fact, furnish
rcarly the entire program, which has been
made up under the direction Of Mr.. Will A.
Haley. and which will be enjoyable in
every particular. The band will be assisted
by Miss Pearl Lynch. who is quite a pop
ular soprano: Mr.. Joseph Hama. cornetist.
and Mr.. Haley, flute soloist The friends
and members Of the company have been
active In dsposing Of tickets for the event,
AND there is every indication that the high
est expectations of the promoters Of the
Project will be realized.
The program for tomorrow night will be
Sousas "Fencibles'' march, Kerssen's over
ture Miners DIeam;' cornet solo, Joseph
Haina selections from Won Weber's Der
Freischutz:' Wohanka's waltz, Paris Nou-
veau;' flute solo, Mr.. w. A. Haley: Kela

GOVERNMENTS DEFENSE.
Had Not Expected America to Declare
War.

Madrid, May 6, s p. MIN the SEN
ate today, Senior Puigcerver refused
any explanations as to the war inten-
lions of the government. In reply to a
question whether measures had been
taken in view of the industrial crisis
due to the diminution of the stock of
coal, he said the government was in
quiring into the question and if neces-
sary, would prevent the expectation of
coal.
In the congress, Senior Moret, min
lister for colonies, in a speech regarded
as the best in his political career, and
repeatedly interrupted by enthusiastic
cheering, insisted that the throne oc-
cupied briefly by a young and promis-
ing monarch and afterWard by his
widow and child, must not be blamed
for the policy of different govern
ments.'' The responsibility existed, ne
declared, as the burden of all; and such
should bear his share, instead Of trying
to Shift the blame to neighbor He
defended autonomy as granted to
Cuba, generously, under the friendly
advice of the powers, in order to de-
priVe the Americans of a pretext to
foment discomfort and rebellion.
With regard to the question of unpre-
paredness, Senior Moret candidly con-
fessed that he had not believed until
the very last that war would come, as
ne considered the Americans were in
capable Of attacking Spain without the
slightest cause" but when convinced
that the United States was bent upon
despoiling Spain, then, with the entire
cabinet, he seriously prepared to repel
an unjust attack, purchasing and Mt
ting out warships and procuring war
material irrespective of cost" resolving
to make a strong stand and convert
ing a peace-loving people into a warlike
cabinet"
Senior Moret resumed his seat amid
thunderous applause, deputies crowding
around him, loading him with congrat-
ulatiors.
Senior Cassett, editor of the impartial.
withdrew his proposal for the impeach-
ment of Admiral Bermejo, the minister
of marine, and Admiral Beranger min
lister OF marine in the cabinet of the
late Se@or CanovaS.
Admiral Bermejo. in reply to a .ques
ton, expressed the opinion that sit
ought to have been possible 10 have re-
pulsed the Americans at Manila"
Senior Moret challenged a direct vote !
of confidence, declaring that the gov
eminent would resign if it were not car
