RIGS, president of the senate and president
Of the Spanish peace commission, in an in

1T is a painful spectacle to see politicians

the blame for disasters, the responsibility
for which rested On all parties. /, person.
ally, have always favored autonomy for
Cuba, Spain being unable to forcibly main
tain her sovereignty at such a great dis
tance"
Continuing, Senor Montero Rios said:
1T is useless to speak of our disasters.
Has not the country accused all our govern
ments of exhibiting too much weakness to-
ward the onited States? What Spain
wanted was man ready to sacrifice him
self and who recognized the impossibility
of war with a powerful nation, especially
after years of useless conflicts with insur-
gents.''
The Spanish government has decided
upon the remuneration which. the peace
commissioners of Spain will receive for
their services while at Paris. The president
of the commission, eSenor Montero Rios,
will receive 12,e00 francs monthly and eX-
penses, and each of the commissioners will

lealize some of the difficulties in the way
of obtaining the extremely high speed of
thirty knots an hour with so small a craft

none of them has yet been obtained. Tic
first to be completed was the Farragut
and news has just come to the Navy Dc
partment that that vessel broke down yes
terday on the contractors trial trip in San
Francisco harbor. The accident was ot a
curious character, resulting almost IN the
sinking of the boat yet its cause IS not
percepuble. All CT the details that are
known are contained in the following dis
patch from Constructor Snow. who has

FRENCH CONVICTS MUTINY

senting French Guiana IN the chamber has
received dispatch announcing that a mu-
tiny has taken place among the convicts at

The mutineers, it appears, overpowered

the military storehouse and seized the
arms and ammunition there.
They are now, according to the dispatch
besieging the principal prison, and it is
feared they may succeed in freeing the
1000 convicts conlir.ed in the building Re-
inforcements have been telegraphed for to
the Island Of Martinique, but it is said they

prisoner, whose condemnation has SO
stirred up the French nation, for his guards
are under strict orders to kill him If any
attempt is made to release him, or f there
is any possibility of his escaping.
