Last Night.

Fired on the Green by the Naval Militia
Last Night.
When Commander E. G. Buckland Of
the Naval Militia last night learned
the news of the severe defeat Of the
Spanish forces at Manila his enthusi-
asm was unbounded and he at once de-
cided that the proper thing was to get
one of the Hotchkiss one-pound rapid
fire guns and fire the national salute Of
twenty one guns. The police could not
give permission and an effort was made
to find Mayor Farnsworth. Not sue
ceeding in this, Mr.. Buckland took mat
ters into his own hands and with the
assistance Of a detachment, of the Ma
val Militia composed of Messrs. Rus
sell, O'Keefe, Allen, Srnyth and Louns-
bury, the gun was hauled up to the
green and just after midnight the sa-
Lutte was fred The noise brought sew
eral hundred people to the scene Many
had retired for the night, but they left
their beds and came out. Many people
were awakened by the sound, and in
quiries as to the occasion of the firing
were numerous. The members of the
detachment are to be highly commend
ed on the manner in which they han
died the gun.

SPAIN MAY SUE FOR PEACE
HER POINT OF HONOR MAY NOW BE
REACHED.
House of Deputies-Allusions to Con-
cessions-El Imparcial Says: 1t Behooves
the Nation Not the Cabinet to Say When
Honor is Satisfied.

London, May 2.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Standard says: "The
sitting of the house Of deputies yester-
day, Saturday., was extremely inter
esting. The Carlists and republicans
have bitterly criticised the action Of the
governments of the regency and the
last twenty-four years in policy of
too systematic neutrality ard isolation
in Europe, which now in Spain's hour
of trial. has deprived her of anything
but platonic sympathies.
"Senor Gullon, the foreign minister,
in the course of his reply remarked that
this was a positive epoch in which al
liances were founded upon interest
alone and, as Spain could offer but lit
tie, other powers could only give her
little. Senior Silvela, in a speech which
has made a profound impression and
is regarded as marking a turning point
in Spanish politics, declared that as the
Cuban problem was now reduced to a
question of honor for the Spanish
without hesitation the responsibility of
deciding when the point Of honor had
been sufficiently satisfied When that
time had been reached. he said, it would
be time to appeal to the European pow
ers so that they could decide what
ought to be done to restore peace and
determine the fate of Cuba, because all
the powers were interested in Cuba fu-
ture.
Everybody was much struck by his
illusions to future inevitable conse-
quences and concessions. His eloquent
and powerful speech concluded with
the plain declaration that Senior Sill
vela and his party We're ready for Office
if the Liberal ministry recoiled from
| assuming the responsibility of such
a policy. The speech will prolong the
debates on the address, as the leaders
of the opposition and Senor Sagasta.
have intimated that they will reply on
Tuesday. Ell Impartial says: 1t be-
hooves the nation, not the cabinet, to
say when honor is satisfied This crit
icism practically confirms Senior Sill
vela's views.

London, May 1.-The Daily Chroni-

spontaneous act of treachery is loom

Cubans who have played their part in
