proceeding to remark upon the ''ghoul-
ish spectacle of Woodford banqueting
the Spanish cabinet while the country
was mourning the loss of $50 brave
sailors who were the victims of Span
ish hate" when Cannon interposed a
point of order which was promptly sus-
tanned by the chair.
Lewis attempted TO debate the point
of order. saying the amendment was
certainly pertinent to the paragraph
under consideration - which happened
to relate to national cemeteries. II am

ing their dead while our official repre-
sentative abroad is feasting their muir
derers." AT this point Lewis was cut off

COULDN'T HAVE BEEN BISMARCK

Rebels. Saws Premier Sagasta.

Madrid. Feb 2S-Senor Sagasta
commenting upon an alleged interview
with Prince Bismarck in which the lat
ter is represented as suggesting that
the Cuban trouble should be submitted
TO the powers for arbitration, expressed
his astonishment that such an idea
could emanate from Bismarck. and
declared emphatically that Nothing
but ignorance of the question corid in
spire the nation that Spain would suf-
fer foreign intrusion or submit to arbi-
tration i'm her indisputable rights of
sovereignty. Nobody would dare pro-
pose such an absurdity and no Spanish
government would listen or dream OF
such proposal.

king was returning from Phalerum at
) o'clock Saturday evening in a landau,
accompanied by the Princess Maria.
when two men who were hidden in

second wounded a footman in the arm.
The cOachman whipped up his horses

after them, none of which took effect,
and the king and the princess returned
to the palace unhurt The king states
that one Of the assassins was dressed
in gray clothing and his majesty de-
clares that he could easily identify him.
Ordered His Majesty to stop.
When the carriage arrived near the
spot where the assailants were con-
cealed one OF them rose to his feet. cry
ing in Creek:
stop. your majesty"
The king coolly rose, and standing in
front of his daughter brandished his
walking stick, crying "Begone." The
first shot was fired at a distance of
twenty yards. The king relates that he
perceived a third individual little fur
Their away. Several persons who were
in the vicinity during the afternoon re-
port seeing suspicious looking men in a
field beside the road A cadet who was
on horseback Some distance behind the
royal carriage heard the shots and GAL
loped to the scene in time TO see the kings

Hymettus. Strong patrols are securing
the district in search Of the would be
assassins. NJ. Delyannis and NJ. Rail-

LORD SALISBURY'S STAND.
lmprobabi1ity That He Forced tbo
Queen to Change Her poIic.

London advices of yesterday state that
the dispatch cabled to New York to tha
effect that Lord Salisbury tefore leaving
Tor France informed her majesty. the
queen, that in the present critical state of
the relations with Russia he must resign.
unless her frequently expressed veto upon
the prosecution of diplomacy to the point
of war during her lifetime was withdrawn
ana ne was given an absolutely free hand
and that, thereupon, the ministry made
definite proposals to Russia, which, in eff
feet amounted to an ultimatum, is an
elaboration of the current gossip of the
clubs and the sensational weeklies, and is
obviously impossible of confirmation or de-
dtsprove the statements
Lord Salisbury has been spending his
vacation since parliament adjourned in
Franco. Sir Thomas Henry Sanderson, per-
manent under secretary of state for for
eign affairs, and other most important Off
cials of the foreign office, and likewise the
Russian ambassador to Great Britain NJ.
de Staal, have been on the continent for
long time. Apparently there are no i'm
portant negotiations afoot.
England abandoned the open door policy
because Russia closed the door in her face,
as has been pointed out, and retreated TO
the policy of spheres of influence, because
il is necessary to appear to have some
Chinese policy.
Two British ships were withdrawn from
Chinese waters yesterday.

RED CROSS NURSE ARRESTED.
Mrs. Julia Bull the Victim of an pn-
fortunate BIunder

From the New York Herald Today
Mrs. Julia Helen Bull, the Red Cross
nurse who proved herself such a heroine.
both at Santiago and on board the trans
port Seguranca, was the victim of an un-
fortunate blunder Wednesday
She arrested at No. 20S West S5th
street, charged with intoxlcation. She was
taken to the West 6Sth street station where
she gave her name and told she was a Red
Cross nurse. insisting that she had clip
pings and documents in her pockets to
prove her assertion
For some reason the police did not taka
her pocketbook from her, nor did they go
to the trouble of looking into IL to see IL
Mrs. Bull was telling the truth. She was
simply charged with intoxication and taken
to the West 41th street station and placed
in charge of the matron.
Soon after arriving there Mrs. Bull said
she was very i'll and believed she had ty-
phoid fever. She told the matrOn she was
a Red Cross nurse. But the matron had
heard strange stories before and paid no
heed to this one, which she did not believe.
Mrs. Bull was arraigned in the West 54th
street court yesterday morning. where she
told her story, and was promptly discharg-
ed by Magistrate Pool.
Mrs. Bull told the court she had gone yes
terday afternoon to a hairdressers, where
her head had been bathed in alcohol
Afterward she had been taken in a car
riage to No. 20S West S5th street, where
she has friends whom she wished to visit.
She pull3d at several of the bells I'm the
hall, but, her friends not being at home,
she was unable to get in
The janitor came as she was standing in
the hall and told her TO leave, that her
friends did not live there.
Mrs. Bull became indignant, and resented
the janitor's interference, when he called
a policeman and had her arrested.
Mrs. Bull denied having been intoxicated.
The alcohol on her hair, she thinks, might
have affected her for short time
Mrs. Bulls record as a Red Cross nurse
is one that does her infinite credit.
For thirteen days, alone and unaided
either by nurse or physician, she labored
among the Ill and wounded. Night and day
she worked, with no thought of self. There
were 191 stricken men aboard the transport
Seguranca, and she cared for each and
every one of them.

NEW ATLANTIC LINERS.
Bounty and Subsidy Paid by
France.

United States Consul Thackera, at Havre,
reports to the State Department that the
French government has entered into an
agreement with the Compagnie Generate
Transatlantique for the construction in
France of three new mail steamers of %
knots speed, to be completed within five
years, with a view not only of securing
a still more rapid mail, passenger and
freight service between France and the
United States, but also of keeping pace
with the record breakers of the present
era Adding together the amount paid as
bounty for speed and that paid for subsidy,
the company now receives s11.66 for every
mile steamed. The rate will be increased
under the new arrangements. Consul
Thackera says:
TT is truo that government support to
Atlantic liners is a sarious tax upon the
Golfers of the treasury. The question arises,
however. to whether the expenditure is
not warranted and fully repaid: first, by
the traffic and trade which fast ships are
certain to bring, and, second, by the fact
that the vessels. being construc ted to Serve
as auxiliary cruisers In time of war, are,
to all intents and purposes, government
property
