Trouble Resulting from the Suppress sion of El Nacional, Which is Supp porting SEeylcr, and the Arrest of Its Editor, Senor FiguerOa, Member of the Chamber of Deputies-A Sensation Caused.

Madrid, Oct. 21.-El Nacional, the conservative organ, which is supporting General Weyler, was ordered suppress ed to-day for publishing an article not previously submitted to the censor, al though it's editor, Senor Figueroa, q member of the chamber of deputies, had been imprisoned.

The resignation has been accepted, Senor Sagasta taking the portfolio ad interim. The newspapers have addressed a com plaint to the supreme court against the refusal of General Chincila, governor general of Madrid, to respect the alleg- ed inviolability of Senor Figueroa as a member of the chamber of deputies.

QUESTION OF CUBAN DEBT
REVIEWED IN LONG ARTICLE BY
 THE LONDON SPEAKER.
spain Severely Criticised-The Debt, 1t is Asserted, Was Charged Upon Cuba With the Object of Saddling 1t Upon the United States-A Hope That This Country Will Refuse to Accept the Burden.

~~N~N-'~
 Burden.
 London, Oct. 21.-The Speaker in long article on the peace commission says: "The reluctance of America to annex Cuba is mainly due to desire to escape the burden of the Cuban debt. At the same time the doctrine of international law is that debt incur red by ruler binds his successors. It is monstrous that a tyrant should be able to burden future generations sim ply because he is in possession of the material government If investors felt that in international law loans secured against the will of the people would not attach to the country in the event of change of government, there would be less of that monetary support of misgovernment which has disgraced the high finance of the nineteenth century.
 For fifty years Spain has ruled Gu ba in defiance of the will of the Cuban people and in spite of the constant pro- test of the United States. The cost of her military operations there has been met by loans, specially chargeable upon Cuba. In the first place, in order to punish the Cubans, and, in the second, in order to arrange for a cheap retreat in the event of being driven out by America. In a word, the debt has been charged upon Cuba largely with the object of saddling 1t upon the United States. The bondholders were encour- aged to look to the supposed doctrine of international law as part of the se-s curity, while they knew that they were lending to Spain against the will of both Cubans and Americans. It is to be hoped that the United States, while assuming sovereignty over Cuba, will refuse to pay any part of the debt ex- cept the money used in the develop ment of the island, thereby setting g most useful precedent of which tyrants and financiers will do well to take note."

be Prolonged.

be Prolonged.
 Pretoria, Oct. 21.-Serious trouble is brewing with the Magato tribe, in the Zoutpans Berg district, south of the Lmpopo river. The natives recently massacred Lutheran missionary and his family at the town of Zoutpans Berg and the Transvaal government sent an expedition to punish him. The affair has now assumed serious propor- tions. Chief Opefu, with 900 follow CTS fully armed and four cannon sup piled by white traders, has attacked the Laager. Heavy fighting is proceed ing.
 The ultimatum of the commanding officers of the Transyaal troops, Gen. eral H. r. Guilbert demanding an un- conditional surrender, has been ignored by the tribesmen, and he has sum- moned 5000 Burghers to reinforce the 5000 now in the field. The campaign promises to be prolonged.
 The scene of the fighting between the Transvaal Burghers under General Jourbert and the tribesmen who follow Chief Opefu is the extreme northern section of Transvaal territory, south east of the country of Matabele. It Is in the heart of a district inhabited by some of the bravest of South African tribesmen. Chief Opefu has long been a thorn in the side of the Transvaal government. General Jourbert was one of the founders of the South African republic.

Cairo Oct. 21-The explanation of the fact that General Kitchener's visit to Fashoda is not mentioned in Major Marchand's dispatch is that Marchand's $ full report was not ready when Captain Baratier left Fashoda. Marchand. .yex- pected that Baratier would not go be- yond Khartoum and thought it advisa- ble to forward by him the part of the report that was finished, sending the remainder when Baratier returned. Baratier probably found orders await ing him at Omdurman to proceed to Cairo.

ostiltttes by Both Nations.

for Hostiltties by Both Nations.
 Paris, Oct. 22.-A remarkable change has come over French opinion on the Fashoda question during the last forty eight hours. The attitude of the pub lis is more inflamed and more defiant. This is partly due to the tone of the British press but more to the threaten ing speech of the British chancellor of the exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks Beach, which the Aurorite calls "a provocation that is almost threat of war" The municipal council of Paris is abused on all sides for exhorting the government to avert war. In govern ment circles the disposition seems to be to resist the British demand. It IS reported that the policy of France as definitely stated to Great Britain in- cludes the retention of Fashoda. Ru- mors that the Russian foreign minis ter, Count Muvareiff has assured M. Delcasse, the French foreign minister, of Russian support in the controversy, tend to stiffen the backs of the higher officials although these continue to maintain conciliatory tone and de- clare that France is prepared to carry suitability to the utmost limits consist ent with her rights and dignity.
 The report of Major Marchan6 brought by special messenger from Fla shoda to Cairo and from there forward. ed to Paris in cipher has been received here, and the work of deciphering the dispatch began this morning. It is as- serted that the report makes no men tion of the visit of General Kitchener to Fashoda. Major Marchand's dispatch is simply an account of the expedition the incidents of the journey, the route taken, the geographical position of the posts occupied and the number of mer left behind to defend each. It is essen tially a copy of the reports forwarded previously via Abyssinia and the Con go. It also enumerates the treaties concluded with various tribes. Major Marchands report of his encounter witt the Khalifas troops does not go beyond the early part of September. He re ports that on August 20 the expedition had an abundance of supplies It is probable that two yellow books will be distributed on Sunday, one on Cretar affairs and the other on Fashoda.

this was the only volunteer regiment

SENATORIAL CHANGES
May Be Many New Faces in the
.. Upper House Of Congress. ..,,
TWENTY-FIVE TO BE YET CHOSEN.

Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware
and West Virginia Among the states
Whose Legislatures VIII Soon Vote
For.Unlted States Senators.
Washington, Nov. THE control Of
the United States senate will be deter
mined very largely by the result Of to-
morrow's elections. when 20 states elect
legislatures. which will In turn elect
senators. The present party strength in
the senate Is as follows Republicans,
43; Democrats. "a; Populists. 8; Silver
Republicans 6. This gives majority
to no one party. and 1t has proved a
fruitful source of doubt in legislation
influenced by party lines.
The terms of 30 Of the present sena.
tors are about to expire, and In
most of these cases the legislatures
chosen tomorrow will elect successors.
In seven cases. however. legislatures
already have been chosen and senators
elected, viz: Aldrlch Of Rhode Island.
Daniel Of Virginia. McComas to sue
coed German in Maryland; Hanna of
Ohio, Money of Mississippi. Proctor Of
Vermont and the legislature Of Maine.
which has been elected. but has not
yet chosen senator. In Oregon also
Simon has been elected to fill va
cancy. These changes already made
give net gain of two In the Repub-
lican vote, McCOmas Of Maryland and
Simon Of Oregon.
The remaining % senator's are yet
to be chosen. Those who are about to
retire are: Allen. Populist, of Ne
braska; Bate. Democrat. Tennessee;
Burrows. Republican, Michigan; Can
non. Silver Republican, Utah: Clark,
Republican. Wyoming; Cockrell. Demo-
crat. Missouri: Davis. Republican, Min
nesota; Faulkner Democrat. West Vir-
ginia; Gray. Democrat, Delaware; Haw.
ley, Republican. Connecticut: Lodge.
Republican. Massachusetts,; Mantle.
Silver Republican. Montana; Mills.
Democrat. Texas; Mitchell. Democrat.
Wisconsin: Murphy. Democrat. New
York; Pasco, Democrat. Florida: Quay.
Republican, Pennsylvania; Roach.
Democrat. North Dakota Smith, Dem
ocrat. New Jersey; Stewart. Silver Re-
publican. Nevada; Turpie, Democrat.
Indiana; White. Democrat, California;
Wilson, Republican. Washington.
In several of these cases the election
of the present incumbents Is expected,
but in quite large number of them
much doubt exists. The Republican
managers are placing reliance on the
fact that they need only a few votes
to assure them clear majority, while
the Democrats, Populists and Silver
Republicans would have to carry most
all of the doubtful legislatures in order
to prevent a Republican majority.
The states considered most in doubt
are West Virginia. New York. Penn
sylvania, North Dakota. New Jersey.
Indiana, California. Washington. Ne
braska. conflicting claims being made
in each state. Among senate officials
the opinion prevails that the anomalous
condition now prevailing Of senate
without majority will end with the
coming election and that the leglsla-
lures then chosen will give assurance
Of majority rule In the upper branch
of congress, after March 4 next.
