WHAT HAS BEEN THE
COST OF THE WAR.
Thus Far the Expenditures Have

Washington, Oct.31 The COM

The chief interest attached to the
speech of Senior Jose Canalejas, who
declared that he belonged to no polti-
cal party and could speak with entire
independence. The editor of FL Her

ness of the government. He said that
he learned While on his visit to America
and Cuba, that the Americans meant
war and We're rapidly preparing for il,
being perfectly acquainted with SPANS

said, had the Spanish government not
been so yielding and had it confronted
the Yankees with a powerful army the
Americans would never have gone to
war. He said he considered it prefer.

Washington. May 3.-The day pass
ed without q single word from the
American fleet in the Philippines and
in view of the long continued Interrupt
ton in cable communication, the Off
cials are beginning to resign them
selves to the belief that they must wait
for official news until a boat arrives at
Hong Kong. This will not necessarily
be a naval vessel. for it is not believed
that Comodore Dewey, who will be ad-
miral as soon as he can be reached by
cable. could have spared any of his
ships even the McCulloch, to carry dis
patches before the hombardment. In
ordinary times. there is plenty of

Gals Will he rather surprised if some
news is not coming by this means by

If Commodore Dewey wants troops
to hold what he may gain in the
Philippines, he will be sent as many as
he needs direct from San Francisco,
and it is very likely that state volun-
teers will make up the quota. The
cabinet talked about this. today, and

Dewey as to what he wants. Mean

Ching Spanish government and tell

People at Madrid laugh at the
proclamation Of martial law.
Turkey has notified United States
Minister Angel that she Will main

China issues neutrality proclama-
ton, and all Asiatic ports are now
closed to belligerents.
Heavy firing is reported to have
been heard in the bay south of Ire
passy, n. f., before daybreak, sun
day. This was distinct from the
cannonading heard off Cape Race,
Saturday night.
The lower House of the Spanish
Cortes has adopted resolutions Of
, homage in memory of those killed
at Cavite."
Spain sees some deep laid machi-
nations on part Of Great Britain in

Spain rejects the British offer to
protect the Chinese at Manila. She
will inform the powers who are I'M
disposed to allow Britain to protect
China that they have squadrons in
the Far East themselves for that
purpose.

ON VERGE OF REVOLUTION.

Madrid, May 3-The floor and gal
leries of the Congress dover House,
We're crowded at today's sitting and
some lively scenes ensued. Senior Sal
maron said that before questioning the
government, the House ought to pay
its tribute of admiration to Spain's
heroic sailors at Cavite adding when
it has been ascertained how much
blood has been shed and how much
necessary to establish tneresponsibility
attaching to the crown as well as to
the least citizen. Murmurs of protest
followed this remark.
The President of the Chamber called
Senior Salmeron to order and directed
his attention to the article of the con
stitution, declaring the invioablity of
the crown. Senior Salmeron continued,
demanding information as to the de
fences in Manila bay and insisting that
this was the question which should be
discussed. After the government had
given its explanations, he critized the
monarchical governments of the last
half century, notably that Of the res
toration, declaring that they were re-
sponsible for the present situation.
Senior Silvela interposed: We are
now threatened with an impotent die
tatorship inspired by the genius of the
disciplines of Loyola,' a remark which
provoked protests from the govern
ment benches.
Senior Salmaron renewed his demands
for an explanation of the cause of the
reverse the fleet had sustained Just
at this moment Gen. Weyler entered
the Chamber and seated himself be-
tween the Republicans and Carlist
groups. Salmeron continued deplor-
ing the unpatriotic attitude of the Con-
servatives and attributing the coun-
trys ills to the Worn out regime I'M
der which we live" he concluded: I'VE |
eXpend millions to maintain the mon
archy, but have not enough to buy |
ironclads. Whoever will destroy the |
existing regime will be great patriot"
This declaration was received with
loud Conservative protests.
Senior Sagasta made a determined re-
ply, which was loudly applauded by a
large majority of the Chamber He
began by deploring the fact that the
Spaniards were not united lin the pre-
sent circumstances, when the country
is involved in a war forced upon it, If
it We're ever criminal to attack the

Spaniards should show themselves en-
argetic and he appealed to all parties
to unite. He begged the Chamber to
adopt the necessary war credit.

The Republicans and Carlists greeted {
senior Sagasta with angry denuncia-
ions, shaking their fists and giving
ther marks of disapproval, while the t
and Monarchists exchang- |
d hot determinations. But the debate
Lself fell short of expectations. Senior !
