SAGASTA SEES NO HOPE.
THE PREMIERS GLOOMY VIEWS.
HE ADMITS SPAIN is HELPLESS AGAINST
THE UNITED STATES.

REMARKABLE INTERVIEW WITH THE prS.
CoURAGED LEADER OF THE SPANISH Gov
ERNMENT-HE SPEAKS BITTERLY OF
THE OPPOSITION PARTIES
London May 10-The Madrid correspondent
OF THE Morning Post" has had a long inter-
view with Sehor Sagasta. the Premier. in the
course Of which the Spanish statesman said:
THE sad events at Manila have saddencd all
spaniards. but have not made them lose heart.
We can say with confidence Of this disaster that
nothing has occurred to wound our pride. Much
has been said regarding the cause OF the .atas-
trophe: but all the discussion has been beside
the question The truth is. we too few and
overwhelmed by the great superiority Of
the enemy's forces and by the fortunes of war.
which. unhappily. went against u.s.
IN the present juncture there is no time to
lose. 1t is useless to debate. We must reserve
all our strength and all energy for to-
morrow. Our first duty is to unite in order to
vanquish the enemy and to uphold the honor Of
Spain. 1t is necessary. to secure that end. for
the Government to have the support Of all.
without considerations Of party and exclusively
on patriotic grounds. Parliament. too. must
grant the Government the resources required.
ENEMIES AT HOME
Now. this is precisely what grieves me. I
believed that the first cannon shot fired by the
United States against our troops would be .
signal for the union and the fraternity Of all
Spaniards, as all are equally affected by the as.
sault Of the United States. I was mistaken.
Certain Parliamentary groups are in Disagree
ment with the Government, and have the pre-
tension to make conditions in return for their
support. They thus paralyze our efforts and d-
minish the strength which is Indispensable 10
are even ceaselessly intriguing; others are full
OF reticence. and all has been done In the nams
Of the Fatherland.
Attempts have been made to assa the Mon-
archy without their authors appearing to inn
enng the country lowering the prestige Of the
flag. tending to the encouragement OF the
troops and to the encoura cement of our enc
mics When our political adversares attack
the Government when they cr!ticise the acts OF
the Crown while war is proceeding they are
committing a crime. for which some day. per-
haps they may have to answer before the coun-

ANOTHER BRAN TRIAL.
He VIII Re Tried For Killing Mate
Blumberg.

Boston, October 24.-The Globe this
afternoon says:
The apparently interminable Bram3case
may be brought to the public eye again
within the next few weeks.
The grand jury of the circuit Court
of the United States for this district will
come in on December /. and it is now
improbable that the government will ask
the grand jury TO return a new indict-
ment against Thomas hi. Bran, oharg-
ing him with the murder of Blumberg,
the second mate of the Herbert W. Fuller.
Bran is now in state prison, having
been sentenced for life for the murder OF
Capt Charles ]. Nash.
So far as instructions from the attorney
general have yet gone. they are to the
eject that Bran will again be put on his
attorney general issued some months
ago has not since been revoked and the
outcome OF it will probably oe another
long trial
The prisoners counsel may at any time
bring the Nash case before the Supreme
Court of the United States on a writ OF
habeas corpus, claiming that under the
Indictment on which Bran was last
tried, the jury was not empowered to
bring in the modified verdict they did.
Should the Supreme court hold with this
contention and the sailor witnesses in the
meantime have gone out of reach of the
government there would be nothing left
but to allow Bram to go free until this
new indicsment should be drawn up
charging Bran with another OF the
Fuller murders.

This is one of the songs of "The Bohe-

written by Alfred Bum. while the music
was composed by Balfe. Bum was a

During the last three rounds, Bonner {

looked as If one good blow would end the
fight. Ryan was evidently looking for
an opportunity of sending Bonner into

he had opportunities at short work for
ending the bout, he took no chances, as
there was still enough vitality left in
the Pennsylvania to drop him with a

waning after the 18th round, but his care

Pillar, who is looked upon as being the
leading rival of Auginaldo for the leader
chip of the Philippine insurgents, has
been summoned to Malolos, the 1nsurgent
headquarters and has been arrested. The

defy the Americans. 1t is hoped that

flict between the insurgents and Ameri-
cans. Aguinaldo has removed several of
the insurgent officers who are uneducated
and untitled for their positions, but he
has been compelled to reinstate them.
Aguinaldo is desirous of going to Paris
for the purpose of appearing before the
peace commissioners, but he is prevented
from so doing by the jealousies existing
between the insurgent leaders.

GEN. MERRITT's WEDDING.
Ceremony Was Quietly Performed on Ac-
count of Brides Illness. ~,

London, October 24.-Major General
Wesley Merritt. who was recently in COM
mand of the United States troops at Ma
Mia, was married privately late this af-
ternoon to Miss Laura Williams of Chi
oago, who recently arrived here from
New York. The greatest secrecy is main
tained regarding the ceremony.
The ceremony was performed at
clock this evening in the brides apart
Inent at the Savoy hotel. 1t had been
planned to have the ceremony take place
In st. Andrews church, Westminster,
but an illness which Miss Williams con-
tracted during the voyage necessitated
the simplest possible ceremony and the
avoidance of exertion and excitement.
Consequently. only few most intimate
friends were present. They were Mrs.
Norman Williams, the brides mother;
bride; Lord and Lady Arthur Butler,
and Henry White, the U. S. charge
d 'affaires and Marshal Dodge. A less os-
tentatious wedding could nos be imag-
ined. The General strolle1 from the
Metropole to the Savoy unattended, wear
ing beaver hat, frock coat and 2 white
tie. The party gathered in the drawing
few flowers. The Hon. and Rev. John
Northcote, rector of ST. Andrews, offici-
ated. The bride entered on the arm of
her brother, who gave her away. She was
attired in white satin and wore the usual
veil and orange blossoms.
Through looking i'll, the bride stood
throughout the ceremony and pronounced
the responses in a strong voice.
After the ceremony Mr.. White proposed
the health of the bride. which YVES drunk
with enthusiasm, and the members OF
Gen. Merritts staff entered and congratu-
lated the newly married co lple. Their
friends afterwards departed and Mr. and
Mrs. Merr tt dined alone.
The BRIDES illness, which for time.
1T was feared, would develop into typhoid
fever, was the cause Of the abandonment
of the plan to have the ceremony take
place in St. Andrews church. In fact
ii was thought the wedding would have
to be postponed indefinitely, but Miss
Williams was much improved this morn
ing;
threatened to be another obstacle, but
thanks to the friendly Offices of MIR. Hen
ry White, it was overcome. When Gen.
Merritt's aide de camp applied for GER
tifioate to the register..he was informed
that four days notice was necessary.
Mr. White then was appealed to. He
had just returned from visiting Mr. A.
j. Balfour. the first lord of the treasury
and government leader in the House of
Commons, In Scotland, and he spent the
afternoon in inpressing upon the officials
the importance of waiving formalities.
After much driving about and many in.
terviews, Mr.. White succeeded in obtain
ing the desired document. though the ex-
peotant couple were kept waiting for an
hour after the time fixed for the cere-
mOny.
The illness of the bride has not proved
so serious as expected and Mr.. and
Mrs. Merritt will be able to carry out
their plan of going to Paris at the end of
the week.
They will proceed to the Philippines
after the adjournment of the peace COM
mission.
