Spain is Already Suffering From /.
Scarcity of Coal.

Spain is Already Suffering From a
Scarcity of COal.
From the Independent
The question Of coal even in its own
country is a very serious one to Spain.
While Basque and several Of its provinces
on the Bay Of Biscay have such deposits
they are almost inaccessible from the sea-
coast. and the cost Of transportation is
such that foreign coal is used almost ex-
clusively In all of the seaport towns Fully
95 per cent comes from Cardiff in Wales,
ships which are bound for the cities on the
Mediterranean and Suez canal While a
small tonnage comes from Belgium and
France, the quantity Is Insignificant. The
present strike among the miners of the
Cardin regions has developed to such pro-
portions as seriously to curtail the output.
This has already raised tne price of Welsh
coal considerably, and even were 1t not q
contraband article since the declaration Of
war; the price delivered at West Indian
points would be SO high as to prohibit Its
importation. Cut off the main source Of
fuel supply and Spain. 1t Is conceded by
those In the best position to know, would
be at the mercy OF the United States or
any other hostile power. England supply
Ing the bulk OF coal for Spanish use would
1t. since such Q step would cut on her
revenue In addition to violating the articles
OF International agreement relative to con-
traband articles. The predica ament In which
Spain v placed will thus be pereeived, and
the end OF the present h0sttlfttes may be
quickly decided by q far more peaceful
agency than force OF arms

SPANISH PUNCTILIO,

Amusing Phase OF Ca0tiiian Charac.
ter Exhibited by II Cabinet Crisis.
The cabinet crisis which took place in
Spain in 1883 exhibits an amusing phase of
Spanish character. The ministerial crisis
had existed almost year, when the resig-
Iatfon of the cabinet took place as the
result Of a trivial question of military
etiquette. The queen had left Madrid for
an excursion to Valencia, which the min
lister of justice insisted on her making, ac-
cording to the published arrangement, lest
the poStponement should be :rued as a
sign of fear of the Zorillist republicans
who had ccnvoked a mass meeting in the
same city. The Infanta ISABEL, who was
left to represent her. decided TO take a
journey also, and informed General Mar
tineZ Campos that her sister, the Infanta
Eulalie, would give out the military watch
word The military governor of Madrid
replied that the married infanta was not
legally competent to perform that office
and that 1t was impossible according to
military rules for him to receive the parole
from her husband, Prince Antonio, Due de
Montpensfer, who was only a captain in
rank. The minister Of war, who was not
on good terms with the captain general,
sent a brusQue telegram ordering him to
receive the password from the Princess
Eulalie, whereupon General Campos offered
his resignation. All attempts to settle the
quarrel failed, and, as a majority of the
cabinet sided with the captain general.
General Cassola and the ministers who had
supported his view resigned their port
folios. Sei.or Sagasta handed in the resiR-
nation Of the entire cabinet to the queen
regent but subsequently,, upon the latter's
request, formed new ministry.

Strictly Business.

The mar rager of the bicycle agency was
clearly suffering from a dyspeptic mind or
pessimistic stomach. 1t was late in the
morning when he arrived at his place of
business, and without a word he walked
over to the desk at which one Of the sales
nen was seated. He looked over the sales
mans shoulder, and then. with an unami-
able infection in his voice, commented:
Il thought L paid you a salary to sell BIZ
