SPANISH CABINET QUITS.
Members of the Sagasta Ministry All
Resign.

Resign.
All the members of the Spanish cabinet
have resigned. The liberal cabinet un-
der Sagasta was formed shortly after the
. death OF Canovas Del Castillo, who was
assassinated Aug. 8, 1897, by an Italian
anarchist named Coli. Gen. Azcarraga,
the then minister Of war, was first ap.
pointed president of the council and for
a time the cabinet remai9ed unchanged.
But Sept. 29 it resigned ahd Sagasta as
sumed Office Oct 4, confronted by the
troubles in Crba and in the Philippine
Islands.
The minister Of marine, Admiral Bef-
4mejo; tf9 minister of war, Gen. Correa,
and especially the minister for the colo
MES were repeatedly attacked in parlia-
nnent and out Of it and rumors 1esigna-
tions rendered or to be rendered were in
dnstriously circulated. The difficulty, it
appears, is to find men who are willing
to assume office under the conditions
which now prevail in Spain. An empty
treasury, internal disorders and the loss
of the Philippine Islands, Cuba and Porto
Rico are not the only problems confront
ing Spanish ministers. and it is not as
tonishing that under the circumstances a
military dictatorship under possibly Mar
shal Martinez Campos has been discussed.
The new Spanish cabinet has been form
ed as follows:

SAFE AT SANTIAGO.
ARMADA EvADES SAMPSON AND
REACHES PORT.
Madrid Report Says Spanish ships
Have Reached Harbor on South Coast
of Cuba-Admiral Sampson Joins
Schiey and His Fly ing Squadron.



A report Friday from Santiago de Cuba
by the way of Madrid s:id that the Span
ish feet has reached that port in safety.
While this news might have been given
out for the purpose of confusing, it agreed
with another dispatch from Kingston,
Jamaica, stating that feet of warships
had been seen from Morant Point, on the
east extremity of the island, passing north
toward Santiago de Cuba.
Cervera could have but two purposes in
putting into Santiago de Cuba. The first
would be to get coal, of which Spain may
have supply there. The second, to re-
heve the Spanish garrison of 10000
troops stationed there, who have been
practically cut off from Blanco and from
all supplies since the blockade of Cienfue-
gos. These troops were dependent on the
coasting fleet for their supplies, as there
is no railroad connection between Santi-
ago and Havana, and the country be-
tween is held by the insurgents. 1t would
be natural move of the Spanish admiral
to try 10 relieve this garrison and supply
1t, or remove the troops, If he considered
that could be done without meeting the
American fleet. for there has been no
blockade at Santiago.
Sampson at Key West.
Rear Admiral Sampson, with the divis-
ion of the Norts' Atlantic squadron under
his command which attacked San Juan,
Porto Rico, returned to Key " est, where
he effected junction with the flying
squadron. He has under his orders the
battleships Iowa, Indiana and Massaclsl-
setts, second-class baltleship Texas and
armored cruisers Brooklyn and New York.
which makes him superior by two armor-
clads 10 the Spanish feet.

ALLEGHENY DISPUTE SETTlED

THE MARINE UNDERWRITERS
WE'RE DEFEATED IN THE CON-
TENTION.
The long disputed suit Of the steamer
Allegheny VS.. the steamer Caucase,
has been settled in London, and the
Marine Underwriters were defeated in
the contention. The Allegheny on
October 1, 1891, while en- route from
Philadelphia to the Baltic, with over
,0O0,0O gallons Of refined oil In bulk,
was sunk by collision in the Delaware
Bay near Ship John Light, with the
Belgin tanker Caucase, the latter YES
sci being inward bound at the time.
The Allegheny, which belonged to
Alfred Stuart, Of london, was COM
manded by Captain Henry Tucker and
was insured abroad in the merchants
Marine Insurance Company against
total loss in the collision clause, which
rendered the underwriters liable for
three-fourths of any amount the own
ers might be called upon to pay by
reason Of their coming into collision
with any other.
Justice Bingham in his decision held:
THAT insomuch as the steamer was
a total loss at the time when she was
struck by the Siberian she was then
the property Of the underwriters, who
were consequently liable for the whole
amount" About $75O,OOO was involv-
ed in the suit.
