SPAIN TOTALLY EXHAUSTED.
Report That Woodford Has So Cabled
to Mckinley.

New York, March "a cabIegram
just received from Minister Woodford
has been laid before the cabinet by the
president, says the Worlds Washing
ton correspondent, declaring that Spain
has exhausted every means of raising
money for the prosecution of war
without success. All the financial CEN
ters of Europe have rejected her over
lures.
General Woodford pronounces it an
utter impossibility for Spain to secure
funds with which to engage in HOSTILE
ties against the United States. In ref
erence to the political conditions which
impelled the ministry 10 suggest the re-
call of General Lee, Minister Woodford
said that Sagasta was friendly to the
United States, and would make every
possible concession to preserve peace.
The future danger, said General Wood
ford, lies with the people. With a hos
tile majority now in the courts and the
probability that this viii be continued
at the forthcoming elections, the over
throw OF the Sagasta ministry is not
unlikely. The succeeding ministry
would be pledged to war in order to
avoid revolution. If the Sagasta min
istry retains power, General Woodford
believes that Spain would endure hu-
initiation rather than declare war
against the United States.

IN THE SENATE.
Attack On Faulkner Concerning
Washington Telephone Monopoly.

Washington Telephone Monopoly.
Washington, March S.-Today's ses-
sion of the senate was largely devoted
to the consideration of the District of
Columbia appropriation bill. After an
extended discussion on the bill con-
tanning a provision for the reduction of
about one-half of the present rates of
telephone charges in the district, it was
passed.
During the debate on the telephone
amendment Mr.. Berry of Arkansas
sharply criticized Mr. Faulkner of West
Virginia, saying that a man who sent
out tons of anti-monopoly literature in
1896 ought not to be supporting mo-
nopoly now. Mr.. Faulkner retorted that
he did not believe the Democratic party
wanted action first and investigation
afterwards.
Mr.. German of Maryland advocated
awaiting the action of the committee
which was investigating the subject.
He vigorously denounced the charges
made ty Senator Berry against Sena-
tor Faulkner as "one of the most out
rageous attacks in the history of the
senate"
The bill for the relief of the Methodist
Episcopal church South of Tennessee.

short tine ago, a. measure had been
sent by the house to the senate provid-
ing for money to be used in anticipa-
ton of a war-a war which, should it
come, would be fought by a country
now thoroughly united.
At $50, during the discussion of the
bill, a message was received from the
house conveying to the senate the bill
appropriating 500. 1S3, 600 for national de-
Tense. Just passed the house.
The bill was laid before the senate,

with certified copies of such writs,
