He Makes n Speech In the Spanish Senate
and "A scene of UprOAr FoiIows-Sagasta
Takes Hand.
Madrid, Sept. 14.-There was another
uproarious session of the senate yester-
day. Count Almenas, referring to his
statement on Monday, giving the
names of the generals he said ought
to have their sashes tied around their
necks instead of around their waists,
naming WeJ Ter, Blanco and Primo
Rivera, after which he also included
Admiral Cervera in the category, said
Gen. Linares was also incompetent and
ought to be arraigned. Thcreupon
Gen. Weyler and others loudly pro-
tested against these charges, and Wey-
Ter called on Count Almenas to name
those generals who were accused of
failing to do their duty, and, he added,
if the accusations were true and the
culprits could not be legally punished,
the generals would take the matter in
their own hands and intlict punishment
a great tumult ensued, the senators
shouting and threatening each other
The president of the senate vainly
strove TO restore order and broke his
bell in attempting to do so.
When the debate was resumed
Senior Gonzales attacked the army. He
said it had been worsted first by the
insurgents and then by the Americans
The speaker asked what had become Of
the 100000 men sent to Cuba. He
blamed Weyler and the late premier
Senior Canovas del Castillo, asserting
that the latter was omnipotent while
in power and might have done what ht
| pleased.
Senior Sagasta in replying said thai
neither Senior Canovas nor himsel.
had ruled long enough to change the
| character of the race, which was tn,
| true cause he claimed, of the disaster
| TO Spain.
Gen. Weyler then made a speech o
great violence, which provoked sucl
an outburst that the premier had t.
| intervene and called upon the genera
to explain his policy. Weyler replied
that he had not threatened the gov
ernment institutions, but only thos,
who had attacked the army.
The minister for war, Gen. Correa
said the government alone was respon
| sible.
The Duke of Tetuan. the formei
minister for foreign affairs, defended
Senor Canovas del Castillo, whereupol
Senor Gonzales made another attacl
upon the deceased premier, declaring
the latter had foreseen the loss of Cub
and had planned with Senior Sagasti
to sign the surrender.
The loss of Cuba, Gonzales contin
ued, was just punishment for thos
who had failed to profit by the doc
trine that the colonies should not b
governed by oppression. The senat
then adjourned.

A GREAT IMPROVEMENT.
The Conditions in Army Hospitals Havo
Changed for the Better - Preparing to
Receive Sick Soldiers at Fort Monroe.

Washington, Sept. 13.-Surgeon Gen.
Sternberg has furnished some details
of the plans of the war department for
the establishment of two large well
equipped winter hospitals for the
troops. He says that the medical de-
partment has for some time been at
work erecting such hospital on the
government reservation at Fort Mon
roe and he is pleased to be able to an
nounce that Lieut.. Col. Woodruff, the
surgeon in charge, reports that the
hospital will be ready for the reception
of troops next Friday. There is al
ready at the fort tent hospital in ex-
cellent shape, capable of accommodate
ing 500 patients. The new hospital
will be additional to this, will be con-
structed of timber after the style of
regular barracks and will contain 1000
beds. 1t is intended for the reception
of sick soldiers returning from Porto
Rico.
Looking ahead to the possibility of
an extended occupancy of Cuban ports
by the United Statos army, Gen. Stern
berg is planning for another hospital
on even larger scale at some southern
accessible from Cuba.
In view of all that has been said of
a critical character respecting the con-
ditions from sanitary point of view
existing among the United States
troops quartered at Huntsville, Ala,
the war department has made public
the following letter, which has beer
received by Surgeon General Stern
berg from Maj. Gen. Coppinger:
"We are camped in an attractive
open valley, the fresh, cool, invigorat-
ing air of Huntsyille's hills steadily
winning our poor, enfeebled men back
to life and strength after the poison
Gus, fever-laden swamps of Tampa
Our corps and brigade hospitals are
well supplied and surgeons and at
tendants are doing fine work. Their
work has been long and arduous. Drs
Reynolds, Lippitt, Strong and Rich
ards, now fever stricken, were espe'
cially noticeable for their zeal for the
well-being and their tender solicitude
for the welfare of those to whom they
ministered. Our condition while strug
Cling at Tampa with typhoid anc
malarial fever was sad. | cannot too
strongly express my gratitude to yor
for the extraordinary success will
which you supplied the corps with doc

ADangerous hook Agent.

New York has a book agent who lit
orally makes business by hypnotism.
At least that's what he used to do.
Now he is in jail He turned in signed
orders TO his employers until they put
him down as the best there was in
the business, And it looks as if they
had sized him up about right. The
people whose names were signed to
the orders claim that they don't know
anything about them and the agent
retorts that there is no reason why
they should, as he simply hypnotized
them and had them sign under that
influence. If he can make his plea
stick there is lot of trouble ahead
for laMYers and Judges.

Wishes Americans to Leave the
Islands that His Follow
May be in Control

Manila, Sept. 13.-Rear Admiral
Dewey says he considers the situation
critical. 1t is understood he has asked
for an additional cruiser and battle
ship.
phe last Spanish garrisons at Ilocos
and Laguna have surrendered and the
whole island of Luzon is in the hands
of the insurgents, except at Manila
and Cayite.
Aguinaldo has announced his inten-
ton of convening an assembly of the
Filipinos on September Is, in order
TO decide upon the policy to be adop-
ted by the insurgents.
The correspondent here of the AS
sociated Press has had an interview
with Aguinaldo, who said there were
$1,000 insurgents armed with rifles.
He added he could raise 100000 men.
Indeed, the insurgent leader pointed
out, the whole population of the
Philippine islands were willing to
fight for their independence.
AS to the Americans, Aguinaldo re-
marked that he considered them as
brothers and that "the two sovereign
republics were allied against a COM
mon enemy"
Aguinalde continued: 1--WE have
been fighting for independence for a
long time. The natives who profess
to favor annexation are insincere. 1t
is merely n ruse to ascertain American
views. Asked if the Filipinos would
object to the retention of Manila
Aguinaldo declined to answer.
He denied receiving request from
Gen. Otis and Admiral Dewey tc
withdraw his troops to n prescribed
distance from Manila and Cavite, anG
declined to discuss the effect of sucf
a request. Aguinaldo further as
serted that he had never conferred
with the American authorities since
the capitulation of Manila, and thar
he had never authorized the insurgent!
to search or disarm Americans cross
ing the lines. The correspondent
closely questioned him about the in
cdent when the Pennsylvania troops
proceeded to establish a new outpost
The Filipinos objected and nearly pre-
cipitated hostilities, ordering th'
Americans to withdraw in 20 minutes
They issued ammunition and inter
cepted the American reinforcements
sylvanians to advance and the rebel
withdrew.
The local governor has explained
that the incident was mistake an,
has repudiated his subordinates' ac
tion. Aguinaldo declared to this cor
respondent that the Filipino who mad
the trouble merely pretended to be a
officer and is unconnected with the in
surgent army. Aguinaldo complaine
(, that the Spaniards were ''dissemina
ting false reports for the purpose O
fomenting antagonism between tn
Filipinos and Americans"
The whole interview conveyed tn
impression that Aguinaldo desire
absolute independence, regards tn
mission of the Americans here as aC
complished, and expects their with
drawal, "just as the French wit
Lafayette withdrew after helping tn
Americans in the war of independents,
war of humanity" Just now Agu
naldo maintains the role of extrem
friendship.
