Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, May 13.-A dispatch to the World from Madrid says: Spain's condition at home is desperate. Riot ing everywhere aggravates the political crisis. Martial law has been pro- claimed throughout the Kingdom.
 The Military Governors of some provinces have summoned the editors of the newspapers and warned them to have a care about what they publish or soldiers will be sent to smash every thing in their offices. Editors of ob- noxious papers will be sent without trial to Fernando Pc, a penal station on the coast of Equatorial West Af- rica.
 In view of a probable revolution on the next news of disaster, the Liberals and Conservatives have promised the Queen to support dictatorial military Cabinet under Marshal Campos, should events demand it.
 The political plan agreed upon, with the Queens assent, between Premier Sagasta, Marshal Campos, Senor Sil- vela. the Conseryatiye leader, ana Senor Montero Rios, the president of the Chamber of Deputies, is this: AS soon as the Cortes passes the bills providing extraordinary revenues for the war. Premier Sagasta will notify the presidents of the two houses-Senor Montero Rios, of the Chamber of Deputies, and Marquis Araijo, of the Senate, and ask them to suspend the sittings indefinitely, or until new Cabinet has been organized.
 Then for forms sake, the Queen Re gent will consult the leading statesmen and General Rios and the Presidents of the Cortes. They have agreed to advise i,, 0c.+o p1-e.Tl1 1ieaY but if he should fail to organize Min istry to instruct Senor Montero to a. range a temporary administration to prosecute the war.
 If both Sagasta and Montero should fail to find Liberal statesmen patri otic enough to take office the Queen will turn to Senor Silvela and ask him to organize Ministry to include Mar shal Campos and other generals as a military reserve to keep the extreme parties at bay. Should any reverse in the war or a revolutionary movement put the dynasty in danger then the mill itary dictatorship is to be resorted to.

MADRID, May 1S-The chief event of the Cortes to-day was the question ing of Senor Bores, who held a high post in the Philippines for two years. about the new risings at Panas, Cebu and Manila. He gave evidence drawn from the statements of passengers re- gently arrived and from private letters received at Madrid.
 Lieutenant General Correa, Minister of War, contended, in reply, that the risings arose from American incite- mentS.
 Senor Bores pointed out that he referred to to those which began early in April. before there was any idea of war with the United States.
 The main point in Senor Bores state ment, however, was the terrible con- dition of the Spanish troops at Ma nila, between the double fire of the Americans and the natives. This made a great sensation.
 Senor Molinas, deputy for Porto Rico, protested against the bombardment of San Juan, without notice, as an in fringement of international usages. To this General Correa replied that the conduct of the Americans was 'yandal- ism and that the Government will bring their outrageous action under the notice of the powers. He echoed Senator Molinas' eulogy on the bravery of the Spanish troops and marines, and promised that the Government would send it's thanks. In the Senate similar observations ob were made.
