ALL PARTIES UNITE


In the House of Commons in Eulogizing
Gladstonet-A Telegram from the Gar.
| LONDON, May 20.-Telegrams continue
to arrive in great numbers at Hawarden
Castle from all parts of the world.
Mrs Gladstone is as we'll as can be ex-
pected.
The Gar has telegraphed to the widow
| in English, saying:
Il have just received the painful news
of the decease. I consider it my duty to
express my feelings Of sincere sympathy
on the occasion of the cruel and trrepar-
able bereavement which has befallen you
as well as the deep regret which the sad
event has given me. The whole civilized
world will beweep the loss of the great
statesman, whose political values were
so widely human and peaceful.

to-day and the members were generally
attired in black All the galleries were
full.
The House vert into committee to con-
slider the address to the queen in regard
| to the interment of the remains of Mr.
Gao one in the coleg ate ca of St.
Peter at Westminster, otherwise West
| minister Abbey.
Mr.. Bai our, of he government who,
in spite OF his illness, which is officially
| acknowledged, was able to move the ad-
dress. He prefaced the motion with a
lengthy eulogy of Mr. Gladstone, speak
ing with evident emotion. The Liberal
header Sir Vernon Harcourt seconded
the motion. In SO doing the Liberal lead
er paid heartfelt tribute to the deceased
statesman, and Mr.. John Dillon, the Irish
leader, did the same.
The address to the queen was then
adopted
1t is now virtually decided that Mr..
Gladstone's remains shall be inferred in
I Westminster Abbey. The Associated
Press learns that the family do not OPP
pose the nations desire and that the only
direction he left was that he should be
buried at Hawarden unless there should
be an unmistakable national wish for an
interment at the Abbey
/ Mrs. Gladstone's only object is to be
buried in the same grave devoted to her
husband. and it is rumored that arrange
ments are in contemplation whereby this
feeling need not prove an insuperable
obstacle to burial in the Abbey Mr.
Herbert Gladstone is coming to London to
arrange the matter.
LONDON, May 20.-In the House of
Lords to-day there was a full attendance
of members The Marquis of Salisbury
spoke feelingly of Mr. Gladstone, who, he
said, was ever guided in all his efforts
by lofty moral ideal''
Continuing, the premier said: 1.-THE de-
E ceased will be remembered not so much
for his political work as for his great
example, hardly paralleled in history, of
the great Christian statesman"
The Earl of Kimberley the Liberal
leader, followed with a touching tribute,
and the Duke of Devonshire expressed
generous appreciation of Mr.. Gladstone's
services in behalf of the Liberal-Union-
lists, saying their severance from Mr..
Gladstone was a most painful incident.
But, he said. he could recall no word
from Mr.. Gladstone which added unnec-
essarily to the bitterness of the situa-
ton"
The Earl of Roseberry delivered an ell
oquent panegyric of the deceased states
man.

Quintin Bandera, the dispatch says,
had a skirmish with and put to fight
500 Spanish troops.
Santiago de Cuba, according to the
same report, is menaced by 5000 insur-
gents under Gen. Calixto Garcia. The
dispatch also reports that Spanish
warships have been sighted off Yucca
tan, conveying three transports carry
ing troops and provisions for Havana.

TO SUSPEND CIVIL
The President Proposes to Fill Places
of Volunteers From Members OF
Their families.

Washington, May 20.-President Nc
Kinley has under consideration a prop
osition to waive the civil service law
in making appointments of substitutes
to fill vacancies caused by clerks who
go to the front. Instead of drawing
upon the eligible list of the civil SER
vice, a member of the clerks family
will be appointed temporarily to NIL
his position. There are many persons
in the department who would join the
army if it were not for the fact that
their families are dependent upon them
for support, and it is to cover such
cases that the proposed suspension of
the rules probably will be made. In
no event, however, will any one ex-
cept member Of the clerks family
be appointed, unless they are on the
eligible list of the civil service ccm-
mission

Washington, May 20--Nothing
of special interest was given out by
members of the Cabinet after to-
days meeting. The Philippine OK
petition occupied a considerable
portion of the meeting.
The discussion as to the Philip
pine exped zion bore on what he
United States troops would encoun-
ter there. The population of the
islands, The fighting force OF the
Spaniards in that quarter and the
geographical phases of the occupa-
ton of the islands were considered.
Statements as to the troops which
General Merritt's forces will have
to cope with were submitted. They
ranged from 5000 to 10000 Spanish =
soldiery, but the conclusion reached
was that the number could be safe
ly counted on as about 10000 men.
The force already selected to go
with General Merritt was believed
to be more than adequate 10 cope
with these troops who were thought
to be in none the best condition as
to discipline or equipment. If the
number was found greater, the I'd
ministration would send as many
men as would be wanted 10 rein

against attack. There are indica-
lions that the military expedition
will make its real start from Key
West unless the atmosphere clears
through the destruction or disap-
. pearance from Cuban waters of the
Spanish fleet If the start is made
from Port Tampa the ships with
their heavy loads of troops and
stores will be exposed to attack
almost thirty hours, not allowing
for the possibility of spending
much additional time off the Cuban
coast waiting for an opportunity
to land. On the other hand, If
the start is made from Key West,
the final stage of the journey will
be reduced to the daylight hours
OF one day.
While the reports from Madrid
that the Spanish squadron is at
Santiago are received with some
misgiyings, yet the officials OF the
Cuban delegation here consider the
reports accurate, as they bear out
what these officials pointed out,
when the Spanish fleet first reached
Martinique, as the probable course
the Spanish admiral would take.
Secretary Quesada said to-day
that the Spanish admiral would ind
himself seriously handicapped at
Santiago. 1t will be useless for
him to attempt to land provisions
and supplies to succor Blanco at
Havana, as there is no railroad
communication between Santiago
and Havana, and an overland trip
would taAe six week or two
months.
If the Spanish feet is at Santi-
ago, Mr.. Quesada says about all it
can accomplish is to secure a base
OF operations in a fairly well forth
fed halbor and also to lay in coal
from GOLFERS which are understood
to have preceded the fleet there.
