CRISIS is IMMINENT.
Revolution to Sweep Monarchy
Out of Existence.

New York, May IA dispatch to
the World from Madrid says:
Weyler, Robledo and the Carlist and
republican leaders have now deliberate
ly set about to bring on revolt an
Spain, and that very soon.
They are plotting separately and with
different objects in view, but they are
working necessarily for a common end,
the destruction of the existing govern
ment, root and branch.
These arch-conspirators have just
adopted a new line of policy. They have
decided to offer amendments to every
bill in the COrtes. providing ways and
means for carrying on the war and to
oppose every financial measure coming
from the miniStery.
Their purpose in adopting this policy
of obstruction is to prolOng the deadlock
in parliament, giving opportunity for
the anarchists and the starving to riot,
and for other manifestations of popular
discomfort to create such an inf1amma-
BILE condition of affairs throughout the
kingdom that news of the next Spanish
reverse shall cause an explosion.
Weyler and Robledo expect then a
military dictatorship, headed by Wey-
Ter.
The republicans look for a revolution
which will sweep away the monarchy.
The CarEsts laugh in their sleeves
and chuckle over the imminent prospect
of civil war.
The court of Spain and the Madrid
government have again separately
sounded the European courts and the
governments regarding what assist
ance they would give to Spain during,
or at the close, of her war with the
United States.
Austria, naturally, was found to be
most willing to take the lead in any
action favorable to Spain.
But her allies, Germany and Italy,
though they sympathIze on principle
with the queen regent, do not care to
pick a quarrel with the United States.
France and Russia gave really the
most enthusiastic expressions of SYM
pathy and assurances of readiness
to help in any movement when the
other powers, even those on the CONT
nent only, consider intervention ormere
mediation feasible. All the continental
governments pretend to throw upon
ENGLAND the whole responsibility for
their inactiOn and charge her with play
ing into the hands of America.
The Spanish government cannot yet
for reasons of domestic politics, come
to America with even the most friendly
European powers because they have
intimated that they can only interfere
to mitigate the consequences OF Spain s
UNEQUAL struggle with a far superior en-
envy. They say they can not mediate
unless the Spanish government ana
Deople make up their minds to make
the inevitable, though painful, sacrlhceS
of sovereignty and territory in the west
Indies after their naval and military Ell
forts have sufficiently "vindicated the
honor and dignity of Spain"

RELICS OF THE MAINE.
Cabin and Skylight to Be Used in a
Chicago Parade.

Tampa, Fla. May 1.-THE sky1ight of
the officers cabin of the battleship Maine
has been shipped to Chicago, where it will
be given place in a big parade in honor
of Admiral Dewey's victory. The sky
light will be carefully framed and placed
on special float covered with the ma
tional colors and draped in black in honor
of the Names dead. 1t is expected that
sailors and naval reserve men will be on
the float to guard the treasure, and that
a squad of the naval reserve will accom-
pany the float as a guard of honor. Cap
tain Hanlon of the steamer Olivette pre-
sented the relic to H. E. Plant, the presi-
dent of the Plant system, shortly after
the disaster. After the ceremonies of
the parade are over the Skylight will be

tenn and placed by them on exhibition.

ENGLAND'S FOOD.
National Granaries to Be Established
During the War.

subject of the food supply of England has
reached a point where it has become
great national issue. 1t is now almost
assured, as a result of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war and the scarcity of bread in Eu
rope, that there will be established in
this country something in the nature of
national granaries. wherein will be stored
large quantities of grain against times of
shortage.
The matter has been talked of for

to be taken shortly to guard the people
of Great Britain against famine in the
event of war or other cause that would
prevent foreign grain from reaching these
shores.

CITY CLERKS REPORT.
Financial Affairs of Topeka Are IN
Good Shape.

The annual report of City Clerk Nc
Fadden shows that the financial AFFAIRS
of the city are in excellent shape. There
are no city warrants outstanding and
all coupons. bonds and warrants are
paid upon presentation.
The report shows that at the end OF
the year there was in the city treasury
s145, 1897. During the year nearly $14O,-
600 worth of bonds were paid and the
city is now almost free from special
bonded debt.
The most expensive department of the
city government, as shown by the re
port is the street department which
expended $37, 400, but that includes the
repairs on bridges, viaduct and other
miscellaneous expenditures of that ma
ture. The fire department comes next
in amount of expenditure. 1t cost the
city SIS, 500 and is perhaps the cheapest
department of the city. The police de-
partment cost the city about $4,000 be-
sides the 81, 900 in fines collected dur
ing the year.

He Advises Prospective Gold Seekers
to Remain at Home.
Sharon, Pa, March 16.-Charles
Jones, manager of the Douglas furnace
returned home Monday from the Klon-
dixie. Mr.. Jones Is thoroughly dis
gusted with the region. He said:
1.-THE news from that good forsaken
region is greatly exaggerated. There
is scarcely any truth in the reports
sent out, and it is a scheme of the
transportation and land companies to
pictpre only the bright side of the
story. I was in Seattle for over a
month and had good chance to in
vestigate the condition of affairs. The
Klondike Is veritable death trap and
deliberate suicide would be as sensi-
BILE a thing to do as to travel either
by the Chikoot Pass or White Pass.
More than 100000 will go to the gold
field this year, but 1t is not likely that
one out of 500 will make their expen-
SEES. Out of this immense army it Is
hard to estimate how many will re-
turn. At Skaguay they are dying at
the rate of So per day, and at Lake
Linderman 1&O Is the average death
rate day. Claims have been taken up
as far south as Juneau
Mr.. Jones advises all who have any
idea of going to Klondike to abandon
1t.
