Changes i'm Spanish Cabinet Now I'm
der Consideration in Madrid.

LONDON, April 21-The Madrid CORE
spondent Of the Daily Mail says: Political
personages are much preoccupied with the
present internal situation. While the various
offices were being filed up in the Cortes
to-day Thursday Seniors Silvela, Gamazo
and Pidal had long conference to consid-
er the ultimate solution of affairs. Senior
Silvela understands that the matter is diff
ficult. 1t seems that at the Cabinet meet
ing yesterday hints were made which might
lead to the elimination of certain members,
commencing with Senior Moret. Senior Sill
vela believes that on the ground of i'll
health, which would unfit him for the ardu-
Gus duties he would have to undertake dur
ing the coming war, Senior Sagasta might
have to leave the government, withdraw
ing as Mr.. Gladstone did at a fitting mo-
ment. He (Silvela) thinks, however, that the
Liberal Cabinet ought to continue in Office
until the Cuban question is settled. BY this
means the possibility would exist of FORM
ing afterwards q Cabinet composed eXclu-
sively Of members of the Right and of the
Liberals, over which Senior Gamazo, who
now leads the most important Liberal
group in Parliament, would preside. In this
manner another solution would be still kept
in reserve, which would be the formation
of a Cabinet composed of members of the
new Conservative party. Senior SilVela con-
SiderS that either outcome of the situation
would be calculated to have damaging eff

DEATH OF E. C. WALTHALL.
Senator from Mississippi Succumbs to
TyphOid-PneumOnia

WASHINGTON April Ex-senator Ed
ward C. Walthal1, of Mississippi. died in his
apartments at the Cairo to-day at $50 p.
m His death was not unexpected, the end
having been foreseen for several days. AT
the time of his death there were at his bed
side his wife, his sister, Mrs Freeman, and
his niece, Mrs. Clark, and her daughter
Representatives Allen and Fox, of Missis-
sippi, havo been in almost constant attend
ance since his illness Senator Walthalls
illness dated from January last. when he
contracted q cold. In February he suffered
from an attack Of bilious fever, and from
this he never recovered. His last address
in the Senate was made on April Z, when he
delivered a eulogy on his colleague, Senator
George, in spite of the protests of his ply
stefan. The following Saturday he was
confined to his bed with severe attack of
typhoid pneumonia, which to-day resulted
fatally. The funeral arrangements provide
for services in the Senate on Saturday at II
congressional committee, will leave here
Saturday night for Honey Springs, Miss,
via Atlanta and Birmingham. The inter-
ment will take place at 10 o'clock Monday.
Edward c. Walthall was born in Rich
mond, Va, in 1881. He served in the Con-
federate army during the civil war, rising
to the rank of major general. His profess
sion was the law. With the eption of
fourteen months, from January, 1894, to
March, 1895, Mr.. Wathall sat continuously
in the Senate since the 18th of March, 1885.
He was first appointed to this position to
fill the vacancy caused by the nomination
of Hon. L. Q. c. Lamar to position in
President Clevelands first Cabinet, and has
been reelected whenever his term has ex-
pired since that time. Previous to his
resignation, in 1894, he had been elected for
the term beginning in 1885, and he had only
to return and take his seat at the expira-
ton of the term for which he had retired:
His resignation at that time was rendered
on account of i'll health, and, while he has
given careful attention to the duties Of his
office since his return to the Senate. Mr..
Walthall has never been robust since he re-
sEmed his seat He has for the past month
been absent from his seat III the Senate on
account of the condition of his health, ex-
cept on the occasion when eulogies were
delivered, few days since, on the charac-
ter of Senator George. He then spoke most
elcquently and forcibly of his late colleague.
This was his last service in the Senate. 1t
is not too much to say that Senator Wal
thall commanded the respect OF every man
in the Senate Refined, gentle and cour-
teous in manner, and yet firm, manly and
honest he easily won and held a place in
the hearts of all who knew him.

In Cuba on a merchant ship conveyed by a
man-of-war. It is known that this plan has
been under consideration, but q suggestion
has been made that the Spaniards might
avoid the issue entirely by permitting the
merchant ship to land the stores without
molestation and then right afterwards seize
the stores for their own use.
Particular reticence IS observed regarding
the movements OF the battle ship Oregon
and the gunboat Marietta, now on their way
around the Horn to join the fleet in the
gulf On the 9th word came from Callao,
since which time nothing has been heard.
1t is believed she has passed Valparaiso and
is now nearing the port of Montevideo,
Uruguay. A formidable Spanish torpedo
boat is supposed to be somewhere in that
vicinity awaiting the arrival of the big bat
tie ship and some fear is expressed that
she may creep upon her unawares and con-
sequently considerable relief will be felt
when the arrival of the Oregon at some
South American port is reported.
Two additional cruisers will be placed in
commission within the two next months
These are the Newark, at Norfolk yard,
and the Charleston at the Mare Island navy
yard. The former Will probably be ready for
sea on the first proximo and the latter by
the 18th proximo. The Newark will be at
tached to Captain Sampson's feet at Key
West and the Charleston viii be assigned
to service on the Pacific station. 1t is ex-
pected that the officers for these vessels
will be detailed in few days. Captains
Wise, Barker and Cotton are mentioned as
likely to be assigned to the command of one
of these vessels or to some other yet to be
placed in commission.
The navy has purchased Pierpont Nor

Penelope, of Boston, and tug Philadelphia.
Canada May "HOld Up" the Cutters.
CHICAGO, April 2l.-The United States
government may be deprived of the serv-
ices of the three first-class revenue cutters
on the lakes which have been ordered to
Join the Atlantic squadron. 1t is intimated
that the revenue cutter Gresham, which is
the first of the cutters to start for the At
lantic. will not be permitted to pass through
the Canadian canals without permission
from the Canadian government. AS hostil-
tiles will apparently break out before the
Gresham can get through the canals, it is
regarded as improbable that the Canadian
government will give permission, as it might
be deemed contrary to the neutrality laws.
The question is further complicated by the
fact that the Gresham, which must be cut
In two before she can get through the low
CT Canadian canals, must be put together
again at Montreal, neutral port 1t Is
believed that the Dominion government will
quietly intimate to the United States that
she Will object to the passage OF the
