with Senior Silvela attacking the govern
ment and claiming "the Sagasta ministry
Is a corpse; and we do not discuss corpses
We bury them"
senor Canalejas, who Is lieutenant of
Polavieja's new party, urged an inquiry
into the charges of the army and navy.
The debate apparently weakened the
government.

council, Senior Sagasta told his colleagues
that they must be prepared for the tall of
the cabinet.

ment for funds, representing that the sit
uation in Cuba IS most distressing.

colonies, has asked the treasury for 1OO,
$4,000 pesetas. In reply, he received 3d.

has been made by an important Spanish
official: "Senor Silvela, the leader of a
section of the Conservative party, refuses
the government the support of his party,
although he is fully aware of the diff
cu,ties of the situation.
"He is doubles prompted by the de-
sire to obtain power. We will do all
in our power to realize his desire with
short delay.
"The country will then see how soon
the man, who is now posing as a liberal,
viii be transformed into a deepotic die
tator"
Gen. Polavieja has handed a copy of
his manifesto to the newspaper men, but
the censor forbids it's publication. The
censor also forbids its transmission by
telegraph.
1t is probable that the general intends
to read it to-day in the Cortes, but it is
certain the government win prevent MIN

sertion that Premier sagasta will resign

bill

there after having landed two parties
on Cuban soil, one of them having had
subsequently sharp engagement with
Spanish forces. One of the parties con-
sisted, according to report, of COM

made. The other party, which landed
near Mariel, west of Havana, was un-
der the command of the Cuban leader,
Gen. Baldomero Acosta. Before this
company went ashore the cruiser VIII
mington shelled some Spanish cavalry
assembled in the vicinity, and when the
landing was effected Acosta's detach-
ment charged and routed the Span
iards, who in their retreat took with
them about 60 wounded, but left 16

Chicago, May 9.-Persistent rumors
of naval battle in West Indian waters
reached the United States all day Sun
day and until late hour at night. None
of these reports had been confirmed at
midnight, either from the scene of the
supposed engagement or from the navy
department at Washington. The gen.
eral tenor of the dispatches seems to
indicate that the Cape Verde fleet has
arrived in the vicinity of Puerto Rico,
and that with the feet are number of
transports bringing troops and sup
plies.

Rear Admiral Simpsons squadron has

The vessel which pursued the cruiser

the Spanish forces on the island and the
American flag floats as proudly over Ha-
vana as it does over the ruins of the Cavite
fortress in Manila harbor. This is the idea
of the military advisers of the administra-
ton, and the president has approved the
plans.
THE first section Of the army to invade
Cuba will be the 5000 or $4,000 troops that
are now assembled at New Orleans and
Tampa. They are all regulars, and most
ofthem are men who have seen actual fight
ing on the plains. They are seasoned, dis
ciplined, effective. They will be followed
at once by another army of $4,000 volun-
teers, who will be concentrated at south
ern ports as quickly as the trains can carry
them, and will be transported as fast as
the necessary ships can be collected. 1t
is estimated that it will take at least 300
vessels to carry this immense army to
Cuba. Nearly everything that floats has
already been secured by the government
and the wires are hot in all directions di-
recting contracts to be closed Immediately
in all the principal seaport towns.
"Other details of the great expedition
have been arranged. Within As hours there
will be 1000 wagons at Tampa and 1900
mules. Several hundred ambulances will
also be hurried to Tampa. They may be
needed. Battles are not all like the
one which has just been fought in Manila
harbor"

FOOD FOR FLAMES.
Fire Sweeps Away Fifty Buildings mt
Duluth, Minn.,-Nyyo Thousand
Homeless People.

Duluth, Mimi, May 9.-Fifty frame
buildings on Minnesota Point, Just
above the ship canal, were burned Sun
day afternoon. There was q lazy puff
of smoke, burst of flame and then a
long row of ramshackle buildings
sprang into blaze. An hour later 1000
people were homeless. The fire took 10
frame store buildings fronting on
Lower Lake avenue, just below the
''Under-the-hill" district and swept from
there back to the lake shore. The dis
trict was populated by the poorest peo-
pie in the city. Many of the upper
parts of the two and three-story store
buildings were occupied as tenements.
They were inhabited as closely as the
people could cluster and back of the
line of buildings fronting on the street
were shacks huddled all too close for
health and safety. There are no par
ticularly large individual losses. The
total is thought TO be over 100000.
Among the sufferers were so families
of Jews, members of a colony, who were
at mass-meeting praying for the sue
cess of the American army in the war
with Spain. There were many narraw
escapes from death,
