the registration fee. Within the past few
days the news has spread that the Levy
| Court has made preparations to return the

away with the tax nnd will require the

imposed. ss,

FINGER OVER HIS LIPS
NEW SPANISH MINISTER PROFIT
ING BY THE FATE OF DE LONE
Senior Polo de Bernabe Arrives at
the Present Strained Relations
Between the Two COuntries-
VIII Assume His Duties at Once.

NEW YORK. March 9.-On board the
North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser
Wilhelm IL, which arrived today from
Gibraltar, was Senor Luis Polo de
Bernabe, Spanish minister to the
United States. who was sent here to
succeed Senor Dupuy de LONE.
Senor Bernabe was met at the pier by
Consul General Baldasano and several
of the attaches of the Spanish legation
at Washington, and of the consul gen
erals office in New York. He received
a warm greeting, Consul Baldasano
acting as master of ceremonies at the
reception which awaited the ambas-
sador when he left the ship.
Nearly an hour was consumed on the
dock by the party in pleasant conver
Sc ton and then the Spanish minister
was escorted to New York city, going
first to the Waldorf-Astoria, and later
to the residence Of the Spanish consul
general.
Minister Bernabe did not have much
to say for publication, but he declared
that he was glad to return to America
where he has many friends.
Il had pleasant voyage, and If my
stay in this country is as pleasant, I
shall be satisfied. For the present I
must follow the example of your min
lister in Spain, Gen. Woodford."
When asked what Gen. Woodford
was doing in Spain the minister placed
the index finger of his hand over his
lips and said nothing.
He declined to discuss the Cuban
question or to say anything whatever
on the present rtelarions between this
country and his country.
II beg to be excused from talking on
international subjects" he said, "as my
position requires me to keep closed
mouth"

around the Bhendi bazaar presented a
spectacle similar to that of the riots
Of 1898. The Mohammedans, who We're
Joined by the Hindoos, assaulted every
European, or Eurasian they met, and a
hysterical mob attacked the European
dwellings in the suburb Of Bycaulla.
The residents barricaded themselves in
their houses and fired blank cartridges
from their windows, which drove the
rioters off.
In the meantime troops were hurried
to the scene and a battery Of artillery
is now patroling the Bhendi bazaar.
The outbreak was specially directed
against Christians. 1t is reported that
two European soldiers were nearly kill
ed; but it is difficult, owing to the
excitement, to obtain correct details.
The riot vaused a tremendous sensa-
ton. All the available troops and artil-
lery have been called out, and business
is suspended.
The excitement has partially subsid
ed this evening, but the situation is
still regarded as serious. Cavalry has
been ordered from Poonah to assist In
patrolling the streets, and the volun-
teers have been called out. The city
is in the hands of the military. Two
members Of the Shropshire regiments,
it has developed, were killed while
walking unarmed. The mob battered in
their Skulls.
Many European officers and many
policemen were severely handled and
seriously injured. In several instances
Europeans who were traversing the ma
tive section of the town alone, were
beaten or stabbed. Some were danger
ously injured.
In various parts Of the city plague
ambulances were seized and burned.
Attempts were made to burn the hos
pitfalls and the European nurses had
narrow escapes. Finally they were es-
corted to place of safety by the
troops.
The mob attacked the Jamsetjee hos
pital and badly wounded Mr.. Gillespie,
house surgeon, but was repulsed by
rifle volleys and several of the rioters
were killed.
The total losses of the rioters are yet
unknown, but the outbreak is regarded
as the most alarming that has oc-
CURED in India in many years.

Not only did every senator present

From the time the bill was present

BOMBAY, March 9-This city was
the scene Of a desperate riot today,
IN which a number of lives were lost,
and which 1t required the utmost
efforts of the authorities to subdue.
The trouble arose through a plague

An enormous crowd Of castemen gath

which retired for an escort of armed
police and then returned and re-de-

A parsee magistrate, who exhorted
the populace not to resist the police,
was himself struck, whereupon he Or
dered the police to charge. They did
so, and four Mohammedans were killed
and several were wounded.

PHILADELPHIA, March 9.-Charles
H. Cramp, head of the great ship build
ing firm, says there is deliberate at
tempt underway to frighten the United
States into buying ships it does not
need and could not use. He says:
This clamor about buying warships
abroad is all instigated by syndicate
of adventurers who are trying to get
big commissions by helping English
and German ship builders to unload on
the United States a number of unsal-
able vessels which they have built,
either on speculation, or under con-
tracts with various second rate powers
that are not able to pay for them.
Briefly this scheme is a conspiracy
on the part of certain daring operators
in this country and England to take
advantage of the existing situation to
force the hand of congress, and the
administration"

Twelve minutes after the bill was
reported to the senate the vice presi-
dent announced its unanimous pas
sage. The great work was accom-
plished so quickly that most of the
people who crowded the galleries
scarcely realized that the measure, so
far as congress was concerned, had
become a law.
Some of the spectators fully grasped
the meaning of the senates action,
and when the announcement of the
vote was made a murmur of applause
ran through the galleries.
The members of the senate, how
ever maintained dignified silence,
the realization among all of them be-
ing keen that a situation which war;
ranted the passage of so unusual a
measure was too grave to prompt an
outburst of applause. Earnestness
and determination were evinced on
both sides of the chamber, but there
was not note of levity that would de-
