MADRID, June 9.-There is great
eHerVescenee of popular emotion and
disturbances are quite possible
Inc revolutionary elements are taxi
ing advantage of the unrest Of the peo-
pie, in view of the situation in the
Philippines
1t is believed the message to the gov
ernment from Capt Gen. August as
to the situation at Manila was held
pack and, it is alleged, was greatly
toned down for publication. 1t has
aroused the national anger. for the
Spanish cling instinctively to the Phil
lpplnes, though they are ready enough
to abandon Cuba, which is regarded
as a monster that yearly devours the
youth of Spain. The government seems
unable to make resolution, but drifts
and hopes something will turn up.
There is feeling of anxiety over the
possibility of an American attack upon
some Spanish ports. Spanish begin to
talk of Santiago as a naval station.
The majority groups in the chamber
of deputies met this evening at the
house of Senor Puigcerver, minister Of
finance, the leaders making various
propositions as to the budget.
CABINET COUNCIL.

with a long discussion as to the mill
tary expedition to the Philippines. Gen.

| rerate, and Senor Sagasta added that

arrival of reinforcements

| measures, which are kept secret.
Capt. Aunon, minister of marine, was
| authorized to take whatever measures
he considers necessary with refersnce
to the Philippines, and Senior Puig-
| cerver, minister of finance, was au-
thorized to come to an agreement with
the leaders of the majority IN the cham
| ber for the passage of the budget.

the init atfve in negotiations for peace

HOODLUMS SABERED.
The procession of Corpus Christi was
one of unusual splendor. Besides the
triumphal car conveying the sacra-
ment it included a unique innovation
a likeness of Our Lady of Guadalupe,
whose famous shrine Columbus, Pizarro
and fernando Cortes, as well as other
@q +1,A
world, invariably visited before start
| ing on their voyages.
| The procession left the cathedral at
o'clock and traversed several streets
| without incident, but on its arrival at
| the Puerta del Sol a number of hood
| lums insulted the church emblems.
| The police and troops lining the square
| sabered few of the rowdies, causing
a panic In the crowd, mainly composed
of women and children, who were
stampeded in all the by streets. Many
women were hurt and others tainted.
A few children were trampled, but es-
capped more serious injury almost mi
raculously.
OMINOUS CALM.
The press generally and public are
OutSpOken on une QlS3SfeedDle news
| from the Philippines, bitterly blaming
the remissness of the present govern
| ment without throwing the whole re-
| sponsbility upon it.
Public feeling, although aroused, is
| displaying an ominous calmness, wait
| ing to know the worst, but when that
| is known there will be developments.
1t is generally believed that important
decisions were taken at the cabinet
council.
The newspapers are printing violent
articles demanding that the RESPONSE
bilfty for the present situation be de-
termined.
Political circles express themselves
as being satisfied that the powers
will not permit the United States to
hold the Philippine islands"

torpedoes destined for the defense of
