MFNT PROCEEDINGS

London. Sept. GA special dispatch from
Madrid says thai the Spanish Cabinet has de-
cided u prevent the newspapers from printing
accounts OF the secret sessions Of the Cortes
The spanish newspapers generally blame the
Government for attempting to control the de-
bates of the Cortes. saying their convccation is
useless if closed doors added to the silence
imposed upon the press.
The Senators who opposed closed doors are
not disposed 70 resist them Several of them

nounce the action taken. but said they did not
think IT worth while under the present circum-
tances TO place obstacles in the way Of the Gov
ernment.
General Weyler declines to discuss the closed
doors, but he is determined to provoke debate
at public sitting in order to attack the conduct
Of the war.
The Government will not present loan bill
and is postponing questions Of finance until
