A STRICT PRESS CENSORSHIP
The Republicans Will Again Demand Open Sessions of the Cortes and if the Government Refuses
 They Will Withdraw

Madrid, September 8.-General Poliveja, pine Islands, has issued manifesto. in which he says that while he was never a politician, he "cannot any longer heark- en to the sorrows of my country without protesting
 The general, asserting that he has re- ceived numerous calls to place himself at the head of a neutral party, adds:
 'sThe parties which have hitherto gov erned Spain are rotten and the principal cause of the country's troubles"
 Therefore, according to General Polive.a "a, political reorganization is absolutely nec- essary, "as is also the truth concerning our finances, so that the states creditors may know the measures Spain has proposed Tn order to meet her engagements"
 In conclusion General Poliveja advocates "the centralization of the government without impairing national unity"
 General Correa, minister of war, has prohibited the publication of General Poli- veja's manifesto.
 The republicans intend to demand open sessions ot cortes, and ln tne event of the government refusing to agree to this, they will withdraw.
 Gaining Prominence
 General Poliveja's new party is assum- ing the greatest importance. His pro- gramme has met with the warm approval of the great newspapers, particularly Eli Imparcial El Heraldo, and Fl Nacional
 Is1 Ia bod r+aa General Weyler, but it will rally now to General Poliveja, who proposes reorgan- ization of Spain from the financial aisd political view points.
 It is understood that General Poliveja de- sires to organize a new party, after several conferences with high parsonage" who. however, has not directly inrerferred in the formation of the party.
 His manifesto is now under consideration. If the military censor refuses to grant an exequator the manifesto will be read in the chamber of deputies
 The general conviction is that as soon as the treaty of peace is signed, the Sagas ta cabinet will resign and be replaced by either Silva or a Poliveja ministry. The speech of Count D'Almenas in the senate yesterday has greatly excited the military party, who are hot espousals of the cause of their Cuban comrades threatens to make trouble. Senor Sagasta said this evenir g.: '"The nomination of the peace commis- sion is delayed because the commissioners ought to have the full confidence of the government, but who can say will be in power month hence?"
 Would Shame Bull Ring
 The disorderly scenes witnessed in the chamber yesterday would have shamed a bull ring. Fists and sticks flew in the air and injectives were to be heard on all sides. As a result, several duels are ex- pected to take place.
 It is understood here that Spain intended to bargain at the Paris peace conference to retain part of the Philippines, but the impression somewhat prevails that re- public will be established there under the protectorate of the Unified States, Great Britain and Germany
 Press Censorship
 The Spanish cabinet at, it's meeting this morning, agreed to take the most stringent measures to prevent the publication of the proceedings of the cortes and to provide for the censorship of teegraphic dispatches. The minister for foreign affairs, Duke Almodovar de Rio, informed his colleagues that as a result of the negotiations at Washington relative to the Spaniards in the Philippine islands, instructions have been sent to the Spanish consul at Hong Kong in accordance with the agreement reached. The newspapers assert that the govern mert is greatly surprised and chagrinned at the attitude of the conservatives in the chamber which indicates that the govern ment is isolated on questions of such mag nitude at the conclusion of the peace treaty.
 Continuing, the Spanish papers express the opinion that this foreshadows the downfall of the ministry.
 The cabinet will probably meet this even- ing in order to discuss the situation, but the chamber does not meet today as this is the fete day of the Virgin. It appears that many of the government
