MAdrid, June 24.-The debate In the
chamber Of deputies Thursday on the
Philippine question was marked with
great disorder. Senior Romero Robledo,
Conservative leader, attacked General
Polayieja, the former minister Of war,
Tor treating with Aguinaldo, the insur.
gent leader, and was interrupted with
shouts Of "that's untrue" A scene Of
the greatest confusion followed and tho
sitting was suspended. When business
was resumed Senior Robledo continued
his remarks He asked II the govern.
ment desired peace or war II peace, he
added, Spain had better negotiate direct
ly with the United States, as the powers
would demand a brokers commission In
case they interviewed. lie exhorted all
present TO forget their party quarrel and
remember they were Spaniaris. In the
course Of his speech Robledo censured,the
minister Of marine, Captain Aunon,
aud Admiral Cervera, accusing the min.
ister Of having granted unpatriotic in.
teryicws.
Captain Aunon defended the navy.
He said Robledo's remarks were insult.
ing, and he characterized published In.
teryiews with him as being distortions.
As a consequence Of ais last statement
reporters left the chamber Of deputies
only to return at the close Of the minis.
ter's speech, which concluded with the
announcement that Admiral CamarA
was on his way to the Philippines in de.
fense Of the Spanish flag.

rage, and commenced an attack on
the monarchy, whom his voice was
drowned by cries from all parts Of the
house The uproar continued for some
time. When order was restored the
president announced the chamber would
meet In secret session and discuss in.
ternal affairs.
In the lobbies there was great excite.
mont occasioned by the former deputy,
Samper shouting, as Senior salmeron
was leaving the house. Republicans
are devoid OF shame II they allow the
chamber TO be closed, and II they do not
seize the present opportunity TO accom-.

thereupon arrested and conducted to
the presidents office and called upon TO
lexplain his conduct.
