CRISIS MAY COME THIS WEEK.
Idle to Attempt TO Conceal That
Which Is Inevitable.

Madrid, Sept 9. Via Bayonne, Sept 10
The position of the ministry has been
greatly shaken by the charges made to-
day (Friday) against the government, col.
lectively and individually, by senor Ca
nalejas, editor of EI Heraldo, and a rec
ognized lieutenant in the newly organized
party headed by Gen. PolaVieja.
1t is believed that Senor Canalejas has
documents to support his accusations of
incapacity against Lieut.. Gen. Correa,
minister for war, and Capt. Aunon, minis
ter of marine
A minister, in reply to a question to-
day as to the rumor that ministerial
crisis is imminent, said it was idle to at
tempt to conceal the fact that a crisis
was inevitable. and would come next
week. after the chambers had adopted the
governments bill authorizing the aliena-
ton of national territory as condition
of peace.
The Queen Regent, It is understood, in
formed Senor Sagasta yesterday that she
would continue 30 bestow her confidence
upon him for some days yet.
Several prominent deputies are in favor
of joining Gen. Polavieja's party.
During the Senate session to-day, Senor
Lastres of Porto Rico and Senator Pinedo
of Cuba vio.ently attacked the United
States for having seized the Antilles, re-
gardless OF justice and legality" and for
''discarding the mask of humanity as
sumed, in order 10 get possession of the
two islands, the great majority of whose
people is devoted to Spain"

that the people of the city of Jackson win

PLOT OF ITALIAN ANARCHISTS.
President FnuPe sends Condolences
to Emperor Francis Joseph.

to Emperor Francis Joseph.
Paris, Sept. 1O.-President Felix Faure
sent a telegram of coincidence to En-
peror Francis Joseph Immediately upon
receipt of news of the assassination, and
he has since countermanded the arrange
ments for the shooting party fixed for to-
morrow at the Marty preserves.
The police here believe the murder a
plot of Italian anarchists, and that the
assassin is indentical with one Luccesi
who is wanted by the Paris police as a
dangerous anarchist
The man known as Luccesi was impli-
Gated in the recent troubles at Milan, af-
ter which he fed to Zurich.
While at Zurich, Lascres was present
at the meeting of the Italian anarchists,
when seven were selected, including Luc-
cessi, to assassinate the principal Euro
pean sovereigns, including the King of
Italy.
A French detective, who was present at
the meeting in disguise, warned the
French foreign office, which communicated
its information to the Italian government.
AS result King Humbert was carefully
guarded, as was also M. Faure.
About a week ago another meeting of
the same band of anarchists was held at
Zurich, and those who had been selected
at the previous meeting were accused of
cowardice. Thereupon Luccessi said: II
win show l am no coward. l will kill
some one" The following day he left
Zurich and went to Vale, proceeding
thence to Geneva.

GEN. sHATTER AT WHITE HOUSE.
He Goes Over the Santiago Campaign
With the President.


Washington, Sept. 1O.-Gen. Shafter had
nearly an hours conference with the Pres
ident to-day. He came over to the White
House from the war department with
Col. Miley of his staff and Adjt Gen. Cor
bin.
The general went over the Santiago cam
paign with the President going into de-
tails as far as possible in the time at the
Presidents disposal
On leaving the White House the general
said he had about completed his report
and would have 1t ready for delivery 10
the Secretary of War by next Monday
morning He would then leave to take
command a Camp Wikoff. The general
did not seem to credit the report that
later on ne would be put in command of
the department of California. He express
ed himself as strongly in favor Of rigid
investigation of the conduct of the san
tiago campaign.
Gen. Eagan of the commissary depart
ment also called at the White Hopse and
had a talk with the President. Later on
the general said that he had insisted upon
a most searching investigation of the com
missary department and felt sure that
when the truth became known IL would
be seen that very many of the published
reports concerning the food supplied TO
the army were absolutely without any
fOun1a ton.

NOT RECEIVED Al WASHINGTON.
Alleged Protest From Madrid Fails
to Reach the Capital.


Washington, Sept. 10.--It is believed at
the state department. that some OF the
data being prepared in Madrid for the
guidance of the Spanish members Of the
peace commission in the presentation of
their case, has been enormously assumed
to form the subject of direct protest to
the Washington government, through NJ.
Cambon, the French ambassador, as re-
ported from English sources yesterday.
No such communication has reached eth
er the state department or the French
embassy as that described in the London
dispatches as forming the basis OF the
protest touching the American occupation
of Manila.
The determined disposition on the part
of the Spanish authorities TO regard as
Illegal and unwarranted by international
law the American claim to Manila by vir-
tue of the surrender, which took place
two days after the signature of the pro-
tocol suspendlng hostilities, has a motive.
The peace commission, which is charged
to deal with the whole Philippine ques-
tion, will probably make a very substan-
tial distinction in disposition of territories
actually conquered and occupied by mill
tary forces of the United States and those
relinquished under the terms Of the pro
tocol These are all questions which may
promptly come before the commission, and.
therefore, it is assumed that they will not
be presented to the United States govern
ment in advance of the meeting Of that
commission

dozen or more pistol shots fired Two ne
gro soldiers and a member of the Second

MADDOX SWAPS MEIKLEJOHN.
PERSUADES HIM TO RENOUNCE HIS
PROMISE TO GOV. ATKINSON.

Congressman Maddox Appeared at

Anger - Orders for Mastering Ont
the First and Third Regiments
Were Sidetracked Until the Com
gressman Could Present His Argu-
ment.
Washington. Sept. 10.-As result of the
work done to-day by Congressman Mad
dox of the Seventh district, the Second
Georgia is 10 be mustered out of the SER
vice and the Third is the regiment select
ed to stay in.
Judge Maddox reached here last night.
He came for the purpose of urging that
the Second be mustered out and when he
learned on his arrival that the Governor
had selected the Second to stay in and
the Third to go out. he was mad. When the
judge gets mad he has very forceful
way of putting his case and he had not got
over being mad when he went to the war
w pal ~AAANliN tiiio mus tbhShN9fiAAehAi
Tate was with him. though he was not
particularly interested,
Judge Maddox first saw the acting sec
retary of war, Meikeljohn. He asked If the
matter could be reopened long enough for
him to make his showing and this was
done. Then he argued that the Second
Georgia was the first regiment recruited
and mustered in, that it had undergone all
the privations that any troops had, except
the Spanish bullets which they had no
chance to encounter They had been sent
to Tampa and had fought the malaria and
the Inconvenience of camp life In the
tropics and had been ordered a number OF
times on transports and then off again, be-
ing buffeted about generally. They had I'M
dergone all the hardships of actual service,
while the Third had been recruited prin-
cipally after hostilities had ceased. He
urged the department to stick to its rule
first in, first out-and showed that
the Second was in reality the
the first In.
Congressman Maddox's presentation of
the case was so strong that the acting
secretary went with him at once to see If
the order determined upon as the result
of the Governors visit had been issued
1t had been, but had not yet been sent
out. Adjt. Gen. Corbin at once ordered
it's recall. Then he and the acting secre-
tary went over the case with the con-
gressmen from the Seventh, and as the re-
suit they agreed that the original plan
should be followed, and the First and
Second mustered out.
The adjutant general assured the Morn
ing News correspondent tonight that
there will be no further changes.
