PINGREE CALLS EXTRA SESSION.
Wants the Michigan Solons to Pass some
Laws tn Tax Railways.


Lansing. Mich. March Ex-Governor
Pingree late yesterday afternoon issued
a proclamation converting the legisla
ture in extra session March % The
proclamation cites provisions OF the
state constitution under which the leg
islature is required TO provide a uni
form rule of taxation. all assessments
TO be on property at it's cash value.
Continuing, the governor charges that
the spirit if not the letter of these con-
stitutional provisions is being violated
laws having been passed by which rail-
road express. telephone and telegraph
companies. now owning at least a
third Of the property within the state
are required TO pay only about one
twenty-sixth part of the taxes.
Governor Pingree urges that taxation
in many parts Of the state has become
in the nature of confiscation; that the
situation has become unbearable and
that under his oath Of office as govern
or it is his duty TO see that the consti-
tution's provisions are obeyed. and that
the extra session is called to that end.
Grand Rapids. Mich, March 11.-Gov-
ernor Pingrees special message TO the
legislature Will. among other things,
contain a review Of the entire history
OF corporation taxation from the earliest
days in Michigan. The early Immigrant
enactments provided for the payment
Of certain taxes on the lands them
selves, and on the revenue from the
lands. A subsequent legislature repeal
ed the taxation clause without the state
receiving any consideration from the
waived taxes. The legality OF this re-
peal will be questioned

PlNGRee WARNS HIS SoLoNs.
They Must Be Good and Not Accept Any
Railway Passes.

Detroit, March 14.-In view of the
extra session Of the Michigan legisla-
ture called by the governor to assemble
next week TO consider Governor Pin
gree's measures for increasing the taxes
upon railroads, the governor last even
ing issued a proclamation warning
members of the Legislature and state Of
ficers against accepting passes. The
governor quotes state laws making Of
fering or accepting Of such gifts with
intent TO influence official acts punish
able by heavy fines and Imprisonment.
He adds that violations of these
statutes have been so common that he
intends TO do his utmost to have them
enforced. The governor inveighs
against acceptance of reduced rates OF
fare even by clergymen, because, he
alleges, il lessons the revenue derived
by the school fund from taxation OF
railroad earnings.

Peace Rum0rA An0aG

MADRID, July THE authorities
kept the disaster to Admiral Cervers's
squadron a secret as long as posi-.
Bile and even suppressed the extra
editions Of the newspapers giving the
facts The official confirmation caused
tremendous excitement, particularly
in naval and military circles, where
the government is accused of or.
dering Admiral Cervera to make a
sortie, despite the known opposi-
ton Of several naval experts. The
cabinet met last night, and its resig.
nation may be regarded as threatened.
The sequel will probably be military
cabinet under Marshal Campos
The military party favors con-
tinuance OF the war. Military
men say they think Spain
could never have expected naval
victory, and that SO long as she does
not meet with disaster ashore she
ought not to sue for peace. The Carlists
are anxious for the war to continue.
The government will transmit to the
powers the protest OF the Cuban co.
lonial chambers against the American
invasion Of Cuba, which the protest
describes as "a brutal attempt to seize
territory"
There are persistent rumors here
that Duke Almodivar de Rio, foreign
minister and Senior Gamazo, the min.
lister Of public instruction and public
works, have received full powers to
propose suspension Of hostilities as
q preliminary to peace negotiations.
Spain, it is alleged, is prepared for
peace on the basis of the independence
Of Cuba and the Philippines, the
United States occupying Porto Rico
until the war indemnity is paid. Lieut..
Gen. Correa, minister of war, SAYS
everything depends upon the course Of
events at Santiago.
