CERvERA NOT PRESENT.
Ii He Had Been Standards Think They
Would Have Been Victorious.

copyrighted 1898 by Associated Press.)
From II Spanish correspondents Ha-
yana, June II p. m.-Admiral Cerve-
ra, it is reported here, was not at San
tiago de Cuba yesterday during the bonn
bardment by the American squadron.
Had he been there the Spanish warships
would have entered the combat against
the Americans, confident of victorious
outcome.
The Spanish troops have orders to
make an energetic. slight or no resist
ance, according TO circumstances with
a view of facilitating the landing Of
American forces so that the latter may
go into the interior Of the country. where
the Spanish are convinced they will be
able to defeat them.
The Spanish Army ana navy are anx-
ious to measure arms with the Americans
and desirous that ii propitious occasion
may soon present itself trusting for the
result to the courage Of the Spanish sol
diers and sailors. to their better organiza-
tion and to the greater skill of their
commanding officers.

PEOPLE DEMAND SILVER

BE AT A DISCOUNT.
DARK FINANCIAL OUTLOOK OF SPAIN
There was a Long Procession at the Bank all
Through The Day--Government May
be Compelled TO Resort to
Forced Currency,

Madrid, June 1.-5 p. m.-The atten-
ton of the public today is absorbed in
the condition of the bank Of Spain, which
is considered more serious than any re-
verse of the war, inasmuch as the inn
possibility of the bank to help the gov
ernment means impossibility to continue
the war.
There was a long procession at the
bank during the day. All classes of peo-
pie were represented and many women
were in line waiting their turn to change
notes into silver, fearing the notes would
soon be subjected to a discount.
If the run continues there is danger
of the banks stock Of silver becoming
exhausted. which would compel the gov
ernment to resort to a forced currency,
issuing notes of small denomination. It
is hoped, however. that the panic will
subside, leaving the bank a margin Of
silver.
The financial outlook of Spain is rather
dark. The government has entrusted the
bank of Spain with the negotiations for
a loan Of 1.000.000000 pcsetas at 4 per
cent, which sum is to be raised as ami
when required The bank will endeavor
to raise the loan at home and abroad

POLITICAL DISABILITIES.

House Discusses Bill for Their Removal.
Notable Speeches-Tribute to Ensign
Bagley.
Washington d. c., June 1.-Today's
session of the house was devoted TO the
consideration and passage of a bill to
remove all political disabilities incurred
by the third section Of the fourteenth
amendment to the constitution. The de-
bate gave rise to notable speeches from
Mr.. Grosvenor (Rep. Ohio and Mr. Set
tie tDem., Ky., upon the obiteration
of all sectional feeling and the reality at
last of Il reunited country. Incidental
to the debate several members reviewed
the conclusion that member of con-
gress could not hold simultaneously
military and civil office The debate was
brought on by a reference to General
Joe Wheeler now serving as Il major
general and until recently Il member Of
the house. The statements that some
states were unable to respond to the de-
nands for volunteers called
for, was condemned by sew
eral members, but the discussion was
declared out Of order. The passage Of
the bin considered today by the house
will affect but few parties, since the
general acts passed in President Grants
administration and many special relief
bills have removed All disabilities with
the exception of those in a few hundred
cases.
In the course of n brief speech sun
porting the bin Mr. Linney (Rep. n. Cl

London. June 1.-Amid the conflicting
accounts Of what has happened Mt San
tiago dc Cuba it appears certain that
there were two Incidents. the Spanish
torpedo attempt Sunday night and the
bonlhardment Tuesday afternoon. Pro-
badly neither will turn out to be Of great
Importance except as proving that the
entrance to the harbor is better protect
ed by mines and guns than might have
been anticipated from Admiral Dewey's
experience at Manila.
1t is believed here that this was all
Admiral Sampson desired to discover
and that the Spanish senate has little to
exult over. Admiral Ceryera is expected
to repeat the torpedo boat attempts
with view Of keeping the American
squadron as distant as possible. Unless
he can do this. he is certain TO eventual
~ capture three or four Spanish ships it
is sure are inside Santiago harbor

Commodore Schley's bombardment may
have covered countcr-mining operations
with a view Of forcing the channel. and
that if his vessels were damaged a

ments at Guantanamo, east of Santiago

damage.
IN the Spanish side the damage was
insignificant. American squadron

A SPANISH SAILORS LIFE.
1t Is Made Up of Mental Tasks and
Severe PuniEhments.

From the Boston Advertiser.
"The Spaniards do not know how TO
fight their ships" said a naval officer Il
am perfectly confident that George Dewey
could have exchanged fleets with the
spanlards al Manila harbor and then
given them almost as sound a drubbing
as he did with his own fleet"
The same opinion has been expressed by
a large number Of American naval officers
who are familiar with the principles upon
which the Spanish navy is run.
It Is asserted that a majority of the
Spanish sailors are from inland Spain.
The Spanish merchant sailors, the men
living IN Spanish ports who are OF age
for service aboard warships, know too
well the cruelties and hardships inflicted
upon men forward In their couBtry's naval
service to put themselves in the way of
being trapped into II.
Spanish petty officers even within the
past five years, have been ambuscaded
ashore and killed by shpmates that they
have thus shanghaed.
Spanish sailors forward are III treated
habitually by their officers. This Is not a
prejudiced or an exaggerated statement
1t is literally true. The officers of the
