lIURRYING TOWARD CRISIS
NO DOUBT AS TO DRIFT OF AFFAIRS
 IN SPAIN.

Situation is Very Grave-Carlists Are In-
 creasing the Difficulties to a Higher De-
 gree Than the Republicans-Not the
 Slight st Faith is Attached to the As
 surances of Don Carlos-No Fears for
 Safety of the Queen Regent and Her Son
 -Weyler May be Arrested,
 London, May 1.-The Vienna corre- spondent of the Daily Telegraph says: "All the reports that reach here from trustworthy quarters in Madrid agree that there is no doubt that affairs in Spain are hurrying rapidly toward a grave crisis. Whatever exists, this point appears: The Carlists are in creasing the difficulties of the situation even to a higher degree than the repub- l licans.
 Not the slightest faith Is attached | to the assurances of Don Carlos that he is setting an example of quietness | and inactivity. On all hands it is thought here that the next few days will bring about events that may alter the entire situation in the Spanish cap- ital. This result Is now regarded inev- l itable in official circles here which are intimate with Spanish diplomats. No 1 e, oI safety of the queen regent or her son, nor is it feared that they will be una ble, when suitable moment presents itself, to leave the country uninjured.' The Madrid correspondent of the Morning Post says: There was nev- CT such a collection of unknown, brain less and servile individuals as the pres | ent majority in the lower house of the | Spanish parliament. Senor Sagasta has many hardships to contend against; l but the worst is the stupidity of His l following. Equally broken Is his sec ond reed-the fidelity of the army. The army is faithful, but it's fidelity is to | Spain, not to the incapables who had handed her over powerless to her ene- my. It it pitiful to think that Weyler now occupies a patriotic niche. His movements are closely watched, and it is not unlikely that he will be arrested. Such step, however, would only pre- cipitate events, not prevent them."
 The Vienna correspondent of the Daily Mail says: "The Spanish queen regent has again appealed to Emperor Francis Joseph to use his influence in favor of European intervention. Count l Gulochski the Austro- Hungarian for eign minister has addressed note to the powers on the subject. I under stand that but for Englands pro-Amer- ican attitude certain European powers would have openly sided with Spain be- fore the war broke out.'
 The Earl of Ashburnham, who admits | that he is the representative of Dor Carlos in England, says: "The issue ol the war so far concerns the present oc
 cupant of the throne, who is already lost. In a short time either Don Carlos will be seated upon the throne or a re.
 public will be proclaimed. It is diff
 cult to say which. In numbers the
 Carlists and republicans are abou
 equal, but on account of the outrageou! programme of the republicans the Carl
 ists will Win."

ON GUARD AT VTINCHESTER'S.
Special Detail of Policemen Sent There
 Last Night.

The supernumeraries were sum- moned to the police station by Superin- tendent Wrinn, who ordered them out for duty. It is understood that the Winchester company will pay the men on gaurd, but the police officials were very reticent about the matter last night and no information could be ob- tained from them. The special detail is placed on duty at the factory to guard against any attempts which might be made by Spanish spies to blow up the factory or obtain information for their government. The special de- tail will be kept at the factory prob- ably during the continuance of the war.

PORTO RICO IND CUBA,
Spanish Generals Believe Can be Held
 Against Invaders.

London, May 1.-The Madrid corre- spondent of the Standard says: Many Spanish generals with considerable ex- perience in Cuba, whom Senor Sagasta has consulted, assure him that they are confident that General Blanco in Cuba and Captain General Macias in Porto Rico can hold on and make their re- spective islands very uncomfortable for the invaders as long as the supplies of stores and munitions of war last, even if the Americans should meet with some success in the bombardment of ports. The Spanish generals have ab- solute confidence in their ability to de- feat the insurgents directly the latter cease their guerilla warfare and come into the open plains or near the cities.

Miller says the steamers Bella and Ware will be likely to take the first consignment of gold. They are now icebound. When the river opens the steamers will go to Fort Hamilton for provisions. The Victoria and St. Michael will steam to Dawson in a few days. Fully $2,000,000 in gold will leave Dawson this summer, according to Miller's statements. He confirms the story of big quantities of gold on Monte Cristo island.

London, May 7.-The Paris corre- spondent of the Daily Telegraph says: The effect upon Paris of the seizure of the steamer Lafayette is clear enough Already rather bitter feeling against the United States had existed and this incident will certainly not tend to dim inishit. Ifitis demonstrated eventually that there was nothing to justify the seizure, the government will make the very strongest protest. Some angry expressions are to be heard; and ar engagements have been made with the prefect of police for the protection of the United States embassy.

FRENCH STEAMER RELEASED
ORDERS FROM WASHINGTON TO
 COMMODORE WATSON.
The Capture of the Ship by the Gunboat Annapolis Turns Out to bo an Unfortu- nate Incident Resulting from q Mistake Will be Sent to Havana Under Escort- Matter Intensifies Fee ling in France.

Key West, May 6.-Commodore Wat son this afternoon received orders from Washington instantly to release the French mail steamer Lafayette and to send her to Havana under es- cort. The capture of the Frenchman by the gunboat Annapolis turns out to sulting from a mistake but no protest has been made by the representatives of the French government. It appears that before the LaFayette sailed for Havana the French legation in Wash ington was instructed to communicate with the state department. This was done and permission was granted to the steamer to enter and discharge her passengers and cargo with the under standing that she would take on noth- ing there. Instructions for the fulfill ment of this agreement were sent from Washington to Admiral Sampsons squadron; and it was only learned to- day, after the capture was made, that they were never delivered.
 Of the 16S passengers on board the Lafayette seventy-eight are for Ha- vana, nearly all being young Spaniards who say they are going to Cuba to en-
 gage in mercantile pursuits. When surprise was displayed that such was | their mission at this time, they merely shrugged their shoulders and vouchsaf- ed no further explanation One Cuban was aboard, who was returning to join the insurgent army. He was banished from the island seven months ago, but came within the terms of General Blanco's armistice just before the war l began. He was overjoyed when told | that he would be taken with the regu- 1 lar United States troops when they | moved. The local junta took him in
 charge and he leaves for Tampa to- | night.
 The United States authorities who ex-
 amined the Lafayette to-day say that so far as the ships manifest shows she
 carries no contraband of war; but with
 such an immense cargo it was impos- 1 sible to make a thorough investigation.
 Her release constitutes the first official
 act of Commodore Watson in his new command of this division of Admiral
 Sampsons fleet.
Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1898-09-26

The Dominion of Canada is aroused
on the liquor question just at present.
The tremendous influence of the
churches are in favor of prohibition and
it is not impossible that Canada will have
a prohibition law. Local option under
the Scott act has been miserable failure.
They will goa step farther than Maine
attempted to at the beginning and pro-
hibit the importation, manufacture, sale
and consumption of liquor, 1t is vital
question and our neighbors across the
line are undoubtedly going to try the
prohibition experiment. Whether they
can secure prohibition that really pro-
hibits or not is question yet TO be an
swered. AT any rate the inhabitants of
the United States will watch the situa-
ton with interest.

Food VEas Not Improper.

Washington. Sept. 26.-The following
telegram was received at the war de-
partment from General Merriam re-
garding a complaint from Representa-
tive Sherman of New York that the
troops in Honolulu were without p: oper
food:
referring to your telegram this date,
l investigated complaints of First n w
York regiment of insuf1iciency Of TO d
while at Honolulu Sept. H. About S
per cent of the regiment stated they
could eat more than was given them.
My inspection of kitchens failed to dis
cover waste or bad management. All
officers seemed to be strongly intert st d
to discover and correct faults. Fresh
beef was found below standard, as Is
usual in hot climates. l advised issue
of a larger proportion of beef instead
of salt pork. 1t Is notable that the en-
gineer battalion. regular and volunteer

New York regiment, We're entirely free
from complaint. Health and sanitary
condition of all troops at Honolulu We: y
good"

Secretary of War Algcr has defined
his line of defense before the committee
of investigation appointed by President
Mckinley. OF course he is going to
put all the blame for sanitary deficien-
cies upon the camp officers. The gen.
eral trend of all his speeches during his
southern trip has been that way
The camp officers may be, and undoubt-
edly are responsible for some of the
general incompetence and rottenness,
but every true hearted and fair minded
American will acknowledge that Algcr's
red tape and incompetence have killed
more American soldiers than have died
by Spanish bullets.
