How Spain Tries to See 1t.
Madrid. June 1s.-Advices received
here from Havana from official sources
characterize the fighting Mt Guantan-
amo bay as "mere skirmishes" with tho
met result that Americans have been
able to hold the place where they
landed"
"They have suffered greatly both
from the fusillade and the heat. Tho
Spaniards are in possession of several
wells, none of which have been in
jured.
"The stories that the fortifcutions Of
Caimanera and the MORO have been
damaged are false"
The following official note has been
issued here:

would have been relentlessly punished"

Madrid, June 1s.-Fresh contingents
of troops are being constantly called
to the colors and there is great activity
in the war and navy departments.
Work ON the Notifications at the diff

pushed, and it is asserted that third
squadron of warships is to be formed

the rendezvous of this squadron. 1t is
the general opinion here THAT protract-

announced that the government does
not count upon the support of any
power, and that even Germany, in spite
of her great interests in the Philippine

MADRID CABINET CRISIS,
DOWNFALL OF SPANISH MINISTRY PRE-
DICTED by SENIOR sAGAsTA.
stormy Times in the Cortes-.Press Censor
ForbIds Publication of a Manifesto..The
9 Government Severely Roasted by Senior
Canalejas.

MADRID. The governments severe
measure to prevent reports of the Sc
cret sessions Of the cortes are nullifed
by the senators and deputies of the
opposition, who are eager to inform
the foreign correspondents as to what
goes on. Thursdays session of the
chamber ended with Senior Silvela at
lacking the government and exclaim-
ing: "The Sagasta ministry is corpse,
and we do not discuss corpses-we
bury them
Senior Canalejas, who is lieutenant
Of Polaijas' new party, urged an in.
qulry into the sources of the charges
against the army and navy.
The debate apparently weakened the
government.
1t is reported that at Thursdays
cabinet council Senior Sagasta told his
colleagues that they must be prepared
for the fall of the cabinet.
Gen. Blanco has appealed TO the
government for funds, representing
that the situation in Cuba is most dis
tressing.
Senior Romero Giron, minister for
the colonies, has asked the treasury
for 100, 900, 900 pesatas. In reply he
received 10000, 900.
The Bank of Spain nominally holds
1000, 600, 900 pesetas in international
tours, but the sums supplied to the
government on this guarantee are al
ready exhausted.
In the chamber Of deputies, Senior
Canalejas, in the course Of a long
speech Of violent and measured abuse,
| denounced the government collective
ly and individually for its conduct dur
ing the war and now in the peace ne
gotiations. He declared that whereas
the issue with the politicians at first
was first war a'outrance,i it had become
peace equally a'outrance.
He produced a sensation by assert
ing that when Admiral Cervera asked
for instructions of war, the minister
for the colonies replied to him, "May
God help YOU" Senior Canaleias ac-
cused Senior Sagasta of constituting
himself dictator merely to satisfy his
personal ambitions: and he attacked
Lieut.. Gen. Correa, minister of war,
and Capt. Aunon, minister of marine,
mercilessly for their incapacity.
The sitting was suspended and
Senior Canalejas continued his speech
Saturday. The senate held secret
session.
The following statement has been
made by an important Spanish official:
"Senor Silvela the leader of sec
ton of the conservative party refuses
the government the support Of his
government, although he is fully aware
of the difficulties of the situation. He
is doubtless prompted by the desire 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, will be transformed into des-
potic Dictator"
Gen. Polavieja has handed a copy of
his manifesto to the newspaper men,
but the censor forbids its publication.
The censor also forbids its transmits
sion by telegraph. 1t is probable that
the general intends to read it in the
cortes, but it is certain the government
will prevent him from SO doing and
will insist upon secret session.
