Democrats Denounce Democrats for Vot-
 ing for the War Revenue Bill.
 Washington, May 3.-What promised to be an uneventful and uninteresting session of the house to-day was chang ed suddenly after an hours considera- tion of private bills into a session of spirited speech making among demo- cratic members that savored much at times of acrimony The storm was pre- cipitated by MT. Lewis, dem., of Wash ington, who referred in the course Of a speech to the recent vote of MT. Cun- mings of New York in supporting the war revenue bill with it's incorporated bond feature. He made reference to MT. Cummings assertion that this peri cd was time for placing the country above the party intimating that the New York member had served the re- publican party and perhaps contribut- ed to the satisfaction of unpatriotic monopolists and capitalists.
 This brought an impassioned reply from MT. Cummings, interspersed with some sarcastic comments that intensi- fled the interest and called an outpour- ing of members from the cloak rooms MT. Clark, dem., of Missouri, entered the debate and criticised unreservedly the six democrats who had voted for the revenue bill on it's final passage and questioned their democracy. Messrs. Fitzgerald and McAleer, two other democrats who voted for the bill, were heard in defense of their votes and in refutation of the imputations of the Misso,1ri rnenher Inst before the TO- cess, until the night session was taken, the leader of the democrats, MT. Bail ey, spoke in depreciation of the speeches of the democratic members as being subject to misconstruction, indicative of more serious difficulties within the party than really existed. He reviewed the record to show that no appreciable ground for such construction existed.

WEYLER'S BROTHER -IN-LAW
IS CAPTURED ON THE SPANISH
 STEAMER 1RGONAUTA.

He is Colonel vincento De Cortijo of the
 Third Spanish Cavalry and There is
 Much Elation Over His Capture-He
 Will be Held With Other Spanish ofi-
 cers as Prisoner of War.
 Key West, May 3.-The Spanish mail steamer Argonauta, Captain Lage, the news of the capture of which was rel- egraphed yesterday was conveyed into Key West harbor by the United St. IS cruiser Marblehead this afternoon. It appears that Colonel Vincente Decor tijo of the Third Spanish cavalry, who. with nineteen other army officers, was taken on the prize, is a brother -in-law of Lieutenant General Weyler. Colonel DeCortijo denies this, but it is learned from good authority that he sustains this relationship to the former governor general of Cuba. His captors are im- measurably elated.
 Colonel DeCortijo and the other off1- cers were transferred to the Guido and the privates to the Ambrosio Bolivar, two other trophies of the first week of the war that are still lying in the har-8 Dor. The Argonauta is no mean prize, being of a thousand tons burden, but the value of the capture lies mainly in the prisoners of war and the mail mat ter going to General Blanco. Her car- go is general merchandise, with a large amount of arms and ammunition in- tended for the Spanish troops in Cuba. She was captured off Cienfuogos on Friday after lively interchange of shots between the cruiser Marblehead, the gunboat Nashville, the auxiliary cruiser Eagle of the mosquito fleet and two Spanish torpedo boats and one tor pedo boat destroyer.

STR JULIAN PAUNCEFOTE.
Report That He is to be Succeeded Causes
 General Regret.

Washington, May 3.-The cable dis patches from London stating that the British ambassador here, Sir Julian Pauncefote, would be succeeded by Sir Thomas Sanderson, caused general re- gret in diplomatic circles to-day. It has been understood that Sir Julian would remain here until next Septem- Der, as the age limit for diplomatic service does not operate against him until then. Moreover Sir Julian's ser vice has been unusually notable, and his term has been twice extended by the British foreign office. The settle ment of the Venezuelan question, the arbitration of Bering Sea question and the signing of the general treaty of ar bitration between the United States and Great Britain are among some of the notable occurrences during his services. It is the general fleeing in diplomatic circles that if Sir Julian re- tires he will be honored for his service in Washington by becoming a member of the peerage. Under the British diplo- matic system, an ambassador upon re- tirement receives a pension of $8, 500 annually as against $30,000 annually while in active service.

OFFICERS INCITE PEOPLE.
Mingled With Madrid Mob-Cries oi "Down With Queen Regent"

London, May A special dispatch from Madrid via Bayonne, says: "1n the mob Monday night were many off, cers in multi, who were foremost in irl- citing the people to attack the minis ters' residence and were loudest in call ing for cheers for Weyler. There is no doubt these men desired to provoke the government into firing upon the mob and to so pave the way for it's downfall Some of them were arrested but were subsequently, released, the government fearing to let it become known that officers of the army form ed a part of the mob.
 While the streets were thus occu- pied great unrest was manifested at the various barracks and the soldiers were only prevented from joining the mob by the personal pleadings of the officers. The republicans were even more busy than the offers in urging on the crowd and shouting Down with the queen regent More than once they led the mob towards the royal palace but each time the police drove them back"

Opening of Congress and Reading of the
 Presidents Message


 Rio Janeiro, May 3.-Congress was opened to-day with the reading of the message of the president, General Campos Sales, in which he expressed the hope that the British Guiana boundary question would be settled without arbitration. Continuing, the message said the president had refused to renew the reciprocal treaty with the United States, though the govern ment of the United States had asked for it's renewal on account of the great loss in the receipts which were record ed during the year 1897. During that period it appears the receipts were 312,- GOO, ,000 milreis, against 44,9S9,371 mill reis in 1894. The expenses in 1897 were 315, ,444, 900 milreis. The receipts of 1898 are now estimated at 334, ,120, 900 mill reis. Continuing, the message said the "scrupulous punctuality of the foreign payments has cost enormous sacrifi- ces," owing, it was explained, to the fall in the rate of exchange, the fall in the price of coffee and internal political agitation. The president expects con- gress to act decisively in balancing the budget and in adopting other meas ures applicable to this crisis.

Refused by Governor WOlcott and WtI-s Hams Consequently Denounces Him.
 Boston, May 3.-Hon. George Fred
 Williams, who during the past few
 weeks has recruited a regiment, but
 whose offer of 1t to the governor was
 rejected on the ground that the chief
 executive had no authority to author
 ize the enlistment of men as Mfr. WiI-
 Hams had done, made a statement to
 those who had joined his company in
 Faneuil hall to-day in which he said
 that not only has his offer been refus-
 ed, but that it had not been reluctantly treated. He also said that slurring ref
 erences were made by the governor to
 his motives, and the proffer was re-
 ceived with anger and impertinent lan-
 guage unbecoming a governor of Mas sachusetts.
 The forms of courtesy were preserved only in a written answer to the proffer in which the governor declared he had authority to authorize this method of enrolling men. MT. Williams advised those who are unmarried and within the age limit to be recruited in the reg
 ular service and stated that he had pre- sented @ petition to the mayor and board of aldermen for endorsement, to be laid before the governor, asking for a license to drill and parade in arms, so | that in case of further call for troops | Massachusetts might not be forced to 4 rely on raw recruits.

THE INTERNAL SITUATION.
Little Doubt That Spanish Government is
 Worried Over It.

Worried Over It.
 London, May 1.-The Madrid corre- spondent of the Daily News, telegraph ing Tuesday, says: There is no longer any doubt that the internal situation is causing the government almost as much uneasiness as the external. Last nights demonstration was one of the most serious in some time, since those of openly participating showed their revolutionary tendencies. Cries were raised of Down with the Bourbons!" Long live Don Carlos!' Long live the republic!" and Long live Weyler!" The first move of the demonstrators, over thousand strong, was to the house of General Weyler with the ob- ject of cheering him. He did not ap- pear and the crowd then went to the residence of Senor Sagasta, where the shouted in favor of his resignation. Senor Aguilera, civil governor of Mad rid, broke up the procession with the aid of the police, who were badly stoned and had to charge the crowd. The au- thorities thereupon met Senor Aguilera, who announced his intention of resign ing, saying that it cost him great trou- ble to repress such manifestations and he was not able to answer for order with the powers at his disposal.
 Thereupon the edict was issued plac- ing Madrid under martial law, and the military governor, General Daban, re- ceived stringent orders from General Correa, the minister of war, for the preservation of peace.
 Meanwhile the cabinet council $ dis- cussing the political situation in Spain. Admiral Bermejo, minister of marine, and General Correa are strongly in fa- vor of an immediate suspension of the guarantees, a step which requires the closing of the cortes. The other nlenl- bers of the cabinet, however, consider this inconvenient at present because it would wipe out many years of the his tory of the liberal party.
 There is a general belief that a total cabinet crisis is imminent and that it will probably end in 8 considerable modification of the present govern ment, possibly in the formation of a national ministry under the presidency of Marshal Martinez Campos. In any case pttTlldIIleIlC IS CeTIdlu LO De ClOSGu shortly. The events of the last few days have undoubtedly increased the popularity of General Weyler, who fav- ors an out and out war policy. At the same time there is no real ground for anticipating that he will come to the head of affairs. General Weyler is not a prominent person in Spanish politics. Politicians and the people at large have been paying but little attention to him recently. His party is composed of a few persons of no very high standing. Moreover, everyone recognizes that Weylers cruelty in Cuba and his policy as to the reconceltrados largely con tributed to bring about the present state of affairs, while his alleged no- torious laxity with regard to public money has made him much disliked. Public opinion is always likely to mis- trust him, and he Is unpopular with the queen regent"

MARTIAL LAW IN MADRID.
The Proclamation Has Caused Much Dis
 satisfactfon-Its Articles.


 Madrid, May 3.-Noon.-The procla- nation of martial law has caused much dissatisfaction, it being declared un- necessary, unless the government has information of a secret conspiracy. Sundays demonstration was trivial, even compared with the trihing dis turbances upon the occasion of the proclamation of the Cuban armistice. The newspapers are particularly dis contented with the state of affairs ex- isting as the mere mention of military operations is punishable severely. All interest is now centered in the debates in the cortes
 The proclamation is couched in war like language, beginning:
 Whereas Sapin fining herself at war with the United States, the power of the civil authorities In Spain is suspended
 Whereas it is necessary to prevent any impairment of the patriotic efforts which are being made by. the nation with manly energy and veritable enthusiasm:
 Articles IA state of siege in Madrid is hereby proclaimed.
 Article 2-As a consequence of Article 1, all offences against public order, those of the press included, will be tried by the military tribunals.
 Article 3-In Article are included of- fences committed by those who, without special authorization, shall publish news relative to any operations of war whatso- ever.
 Then follow the articles which pro- hibit meetings and public demonstra- tions.

GREAT BRITAIN'S OFFER
TO PROTECTA ALL CHINESE SUBJECTS
 IN PHILIPPINES,

Made Through the British Consul at Ma
 nila to Captain General Augustis-Span-
 ish Government Apparently Sees Some
 Deep Laid Machination on the Part of
 British Government-The Question Is
 'what Can be the Object of the British
 Request?'
 Madrid, May 3.-The official account of Captain General Augustis' commu- nication as to the offer of the British consul at Manila to place all Chinese subjects in the Philippines under pro- lection of the British flag, says. Capt. General Augustis wired that the Brit ish consul called upon him to-day, and said that he would take the Chinese subjects in the Philippines under the British flag in order to safeguard their lives and property. The captain gener- al added that a number of rich and in- fluential Chinese at Manila had assur- ed him that they were satisfied with the protection of Spain. Senor Moret, secretary of the colonies, replied to Captain General Augustis that there was no reason to accept the protecto- rate which the British consul wished to exercise. The British consul's offer has been communicated to the pow ers''
 The government apparently sees some deep laid machination on the part of Great Britain for the official note says: This news caused surprise, al- though people are accustomed to the methods of those who direct British in- terests."
 The question is asked: What can be the object of the British request? China is not in a position to expect this or any other protectorate, but the Brit ish take it upon themselves to be the protectors of the Celestial empire against French, German andcmfwy- against French, Russian and German ambitions, with a view undoubtedly to acquire new title by the protection of the Chinese in the Philippines. The Spanish government cannot accept the role offered it and rejects the pro- position, at the same time informing the powers who are disposed to allow Great Britain to protect China that they have squadrons in the far east themselves for that purpose"

IMMIGRATION.
Labor Commissioner Powderly Points Out
 an Increase.

Increase.
 Washington, May S.-Labor Commis- sioner Powderly called at the war de- partment to-day to see Secretary AL ger in behalf of friend who seeks an appointment in the volunteer army. While waiting to see the secretary, the commissioner remarked that the pros poets of the present war seemed to have had the effect of increasing the immigration to this country. Many of those who came believed that the en- listing of a great number of men in the army would cause vacant positions that would have to be filled by others and acknowledged they had come here believing more work was to be had be- cause of the war. The figures for March show that the increase in i1nmi- grafton for that month over the corre- spending period of the preceding year was e,000.
