Associated Press Special Wire

yesterdays financial debate is that both
Senior Puigceiver, minister, and the Mar
Quis de Vilaverde, the Conservative lead
er, have agreed to oppose the impost on
the national debt. The Marquis declares
the Stlevelists will oppose the measure
even to the length of obstruction and
Senior Puigceiver declares that the meas
ures will not become law while he is Min
lister.
A crisis will be precipitated by the Carl
lists, Republicans and Romeroists, who In
tend to introduce a resolution in favor Of
the Chamber Of Deputies, inasmuch as
Senior Gamaxo. the Liberal leader and
the Minister of Public Instruction, has
given notice that he will resign from the
Ministry If the impost Is not adopted.
The alternative of Senor Gamazo's po-
sition Is the resignation of Senior Puigcei-
yer, whose following is less than that of
eenor Gamazo. In regard to those indi-
cations OF a crisis, the Liberal remarks:
The sovereignty, perhaps the independ-
ence OF the nation, is hanging in the bal
ance, Enemies menace 1t everywhere
abroad, and there is famine at home. A So
linton of the problem cannot be foreseen.
The flower of Spanish youth is giving it's
life blood to carry on the war; and weak
ened mothers are nursing a new genera
tfon amidst this accumulation of evils.
Patriotism demands our silent inactivity,
while the private partisans squabble over
petty questions depriving the nation of a
strong, united government capable Of fac
ing the present struggles. The country may
wait while the government arranges its
differences with party politics; but Dewey,
Sampson, Mckinley and Salisbury are not
likely to watt
