but in view of the rigorous censorship
on all questions of public order II IS uil-

At Gariga, in the province OF BARGE
Iona. a mob recently fired on the gen.
darmes. and an armed band, said to
have been composed of jailbirds, mas
onnaared at Banss and Valderas. The
police are pursuing the members OF the
band. but thus far the efforts OF the au-
thorities to capture them have peen H.
tile. Great precautions were taken at
the open air theater in the Buen Retlro
gardens in Madrid yesterday evening
(Friday, July 22) owing to an expected
demonstration in favor of General Wey-
Ter, who was present, but nothing de-
veloped.
According to dispatch from Cadiz to
the Imparcial of Madrid, advices from
Tangier say the foreign minister OF MO-
rocco declares that if the Americans en-
ter Moroccan ports they will be notifled
to leave in "a hours, and, it Is ADDED, II
they refuse to do so Morocco VIII place
herself under the protection of the pow
ers. The peace probabilities are anX-
| iously canvassed at Tangier since the
| arrival there of the new United States
consul, and, the special dispatch from
| Cadiz adds, the belief increases that
| the United States does not intend to
DEPRIVE Spain Of anything but the An

/ dispatch from Madrid reports an In
| teresting conversation with person oc-
| cupying a high position in the queen
| regents household and whose duties
| bring him daily into intimate relations
with her majesty. He said the quarrel
| between Spain and the United States
was much easier of adjustment than
generally believed. The queen regent,
| he continued, naturally endeavored to
avoid war, and naturally also she de-
sres an honorable peace. She Is quite
alive to the force of public opinion and
| holds strictly to the constitutional laws
| of the nation. 1t is an error to suppose
| the queen regent is under the pressure
| of the present or any government or
! that she Is regardless of public opinion
| when it is in consonance with the true
interests of the Spanish people.
| Gamazo For Premier.
The official referred to then added an
| important statement, saying:
1.-THE present government will not in

headed by Senior Gamazo minister of
public instruction, will conclude the ne
gotiations and then retire and General
Polaveja, with a combination including
Senior Silvela and General Campos, will
reorganize the country. Everybody
considers Spain should treat direct with
the Americans, Whose practical good
sense will prevail over spread eagleism.' -
Another dispatch from Madrid gives
the following account of the queen re-
gents daily life during the present cri-
| sis:
| Poor Gueen' This is the eXclama-
| ton so often heard of late, day after
day. as matters grow worse and worse,
as the Spanish disasters repeat them
selves and as the throne of the little
king seems slipping from her hands. in
| to which it was given in trust. I see
her majesty looking careworn and anX-
ious. Even her drives are becoming
| fewer and fewer. 1t would surely APP
peal to any mother in the world were
she to see the way this queen mother
each day seems to cling closer and clos
err to her boy, as though to shield him
from the dangers closing about him
with almost fatal force 1t is very
touching to witness it. Her worst enc
mics recognize in the queen personal
qualities worthy of the highest admira
ton.
"The queen used every means at her
disposal to prevent war. Her great
hope lay in Senior Moret (Senor Moret
y Prendergast the former minister of
the colonies), and he would have car
ried his point but for Senior Gullon, the
former minister for foreign affairs. To-
| day and ever since the war began the
great preoccupation of the queen re-
gent is to find the quickest way for its
| termination. At many of the councils
of late held at the palace the queen has
burst into tears begging and urging her
ministers to find a solution for the
terms of peace which they seem inca
| pable of Undertaking..

palace life has altered considerably and
still more so since the illness of the lit.
tie king. Now the queen takes dinner
In her private apartments with the bow
king at 1880 p. m. There Is reason for
this, as the queen imagines the illness
of the king is due to poison. The queen
