Washington, May 9.-At today's
special cabinet meeting the leading
subjects of discussion were the meas

movement on Cuba. AS to the former
there has been no material change in

There was a renewal of the disturb

arrival of a mob OF students from Pa

city, but were repulsed by n detach>
ment of bolsagliera, who killed two of
the students and wounded four.
In the parts OF Milan where the re-

New York. May 9.-In response to
urgent appeals from Cuban and foreign
residents at Cienfuegos, Consul Dent

The urgency of the apeals Indicates
that foreigners are in great danger and
confirms the reports by lately arrived
fugitives that two British warships
have gone to Join the Pearl for the
purpose of protecting British subjects
in southern Cuban ports.
1t Is impossible to obtain Porto Rico

which was dispatched against Porto
Rico. 1t is believed that his victory
will be as complete as that OF Admiral
Dewey at Manila, although 1t is hardly
TO be expected that the consequences
TO his fleet will be as unimportant. No
alarm is felt as to the whereabouts of
the Spanish fleet. and 1t certainly Is
not expected that Admiral Sampson
will encounter them at Porto Rico.
As to the plans of campaign In Cuba,
1t was understood there had been no
material change from tina; announced
some time ago. At the proper time 1t
is expected that a landing of consid-
cradle force with provisions and mu-
nltions for the insurgents will be effect
ed at some easily accessible point and
that an active campaign will then be-
gin from the rear as well as from the
fleets in front of Havana and their i'm
portant seaports.

day in "A special dispatch from Madrid
that the Spanish ministers of war and
marine, Captain General Correa and
Admiral Bermejo declare they do not
expect Manila to be attacked before
the arrival of reinforcements for Rear

MORE R1oTING IN SPAIN.
Madrid, May 9.-There was serious
rioting at Linares, twenty-three miles
from Jaon, yesterday. The mob as
sembed in front of the town hall, and
finding the doors locked, tore out the
windows. swarmed into the building
and threw everything movable into the
streets The civil guards interviewed
and desperate struggle followed in the
passages of the building. The rioters
We're finally driven out by the civil
guards, who frequently fired into the
mob. Some Of the rioters procured
guns and returned the fire. Fourteen
persons are said to have been killed
and about sixty wounded. The local
forces are not considered strong enough
to cope with the disturbance, and REIN
forcements of troops have been asked
for.
1890 p. m.-Later the mob made an
other attack on the town hall and
drove out the civil guards. The rioters
and kept up a calling fire, while shouts
of Down with the taxes!" were raised
on all sides.
After forcing an entrance into the
town hall, the rioters pillaged the
building subsequently capturing the
residence of the tax collector by as
sault. They demolished everything
in sight. stole 1900 pesetas and box OF
Jewels, and attempted to set fire to
the house.
Serious disorders have occurred at
Brones, near Seville, at which place
the village priest has been stoned to
death.
Revised reports show that twelve
men were killed and fifty were wounded

ing so incessant that it was impossible
