DYNASTY DOOMED.

Ru'nored That the Queen Regent is Ready
to Resign.
Special to EVENING HERALD.
London, May 5.-An attempt is beng made
here by means of inhammatory circulars to
influence public opinion against the United
States.
Dispatches received from Madrid this
morning say that the Spanish dynasty and
government is doomed The family of the
Queen Regent of Spain are seriously con
sidering the idea of her resigning the Re-
gentship with the view to averting an anti
dynastic movement and saving the throne
for her son, Some of the most influential
members of the family are opposed to such
action.
Disturbances continue in the provinces and
lootiug and shooting are reported at many
points, and are assuming alarming proper
tions.
The Madrid newspapers are very pessmis-
tic in their comments upon the situation in
the provinces and the debates in the Cortes,
and it is believed the resignation of the
Cabinet is imminent.

Latest Advices From the National Capital
on the War Situation
Special TO EVENING HERALD.

Special TO EVENING HERALD.
Washington May 5.-The navy depart
ment has received information that Oregon
and the Marietta both put to sea yesterday,
and the Nictheroy followed them to-day.
The Spanish gunboat is still near Rio in a
disabled condition. The navy department
will give no information as to the destina-
tion Of Admiral Simpsons fleet that left
Key West yesterday, with their bunkers full
of coal 1t is believed, however their desti.
nation is the Brazilian coast where it is ez-
pected the Spanish fleet is heading to inter
sect the Oregon. Little credence is placed
ON the reports that the Spanish fleet has re-
turned to the Canary islands. 1t is believed
the enemy intends to make fight or to es-
tablish base of operations at Porto Rico
This our government will prohibit.
Should later advices show that the Cape
Verde fleet has returned to the Canaries both
the naval and military forces of the United
States would move at once to Cuba. There
would also be a demonstration against San
Juan, Porto Rico, taking that fort and pro-
hibiting the enemy from using it as base of
operations and coaling station.
There is well defined rumor from high
sources that SIMPSONS fleet will first attack
Porto Rico, capture that port, and then pro-
coed after the Cape Verde fleet.
Senator Burrows held long conference
with the President this morning and when
he left the White House gave out signif-
cant and important statement He said.
81 EXPECT WE WILL HAVE PORTO
RICO by TOMORROW OR THE NEXT
DAY"
From this statement it is believed that
Admiral SIMPSONS fleet is bound for Porto
Rico
1t was officially stated at noon to-day that
no word had been received from Commander
Dewey, but his report is hourly expected.
In anticipation of an early communication
Secretary Long has sent to Hong Kong long
cablegram containing instructions for Deweys
future guidance, and in reference to plans
made for despatching troops to his assistance
should he deem such action necessary. Our
consul there will deliver the message to the
officer of the despatch boat when it arrives at
Hong Kong.
Vienna despatch says that the American
Legation at Constantinople has received
offers from 1900 sailors at the Turkish ports
to serve in the United States Navy. All the
offers have been declined.
The departure of the army for invasion
of Cuba has been delayed indefinitely. No
troops will leave Tampa until our fleet has
met the fleet of the spaniards or learned
their whereabouts
The opinion is expressed by officials con-
nected with the Adjutant- Generals office and
the headquarters of the army that it will be
necessary to keep the volunteers in their
state encampments for at least month after
they have been fully organized.

tion to reach 5000 yards. Firing be-
gan with the starboard batteries, fol-

Heel State Reassuring.

Washington, ID. c., Sept. 5.-(Special)
Hon. james. Kerr, Secretary of the
Democratic Congressional Campaign
committee, speaking of the political
outlook said to me to-day that the indi-
cations all pointed to Democratic sue
cess in November. IF the Democrats
throughout the country said he, will
make campaign like the one now IN
progress in North Carolina there VIII
be no doubt as to the result. My au-
vices from the Tar Heel State are most
encouraging. | am satisfied that the
bulk of the Populists who left the
Democratic party are heartily SICK anu
tired of their trade made with the ne
publicans and will join with the Demo
Gratis in the grand fight now being made
to redeem this State from negro rule.
We are bound to capture majority OF
the Congressional districts. L am also
firm in the opinion that the Democrats
will carry the Legislature. do not
believe that the good people of North
Carolina will longer tolerate IN Office
gang of politicians-black and white
that have done so much to cast reproach
ON the fair fame of the State Of North
Carolina.
When asked if interest in the money
question was dying out. Secretary Kerr
said, 1.-The advocates of free coinage of
silver are as active and bold as they
were two years ago. The money ques-
ton will not be downed. The people
will never be satisfied until silver is re-
stored to its lawful place along side of
gold. We are receiving hundreds of
letters a day from all parts of the
country requesting copies of speeches ON
the money question and tariff. While
a year ago there was IA slight improve
ment noted among the agricultural
classes of the country-caused by the
wheat famine in Europe, and which the
Republicans ascribcd to the Dingley bill,
the depression which existed previously
has returned, and the country is as bad
off as ever The Republicans are point
ing with pride to the growing surplus
in the treasury, which was brought
about by the sale OF bonds and the war
revenue bill. They failed to note the
fact, however, that this surplus is drawn
from the pockets of the people, and
slowly. but surely a contradiction of the
currency is setting in. And unless some
thing is done you will see money
panic before the administration rs
another year older"
Secretary Kerr says the Democrats
do not want for issues. The failing of
the administration to give the country
the promised currency reform and the
utter incompetency of the. War Depart
ment win keep every Republican cam
paign orator busy explaining. But, said
Secretary Kerr they will be unable TO
explain satisfactorily to the American
people.
