SITUATION IN SPAIN.
Troubles of the Gravest Kind Brewing All
Over the Provinces.

LONDON, June 2s.-The Madrid cor
respondent of The Daily Telegraph
says
Spain Is in a state Of ferment, Of
transition without parallel during the
present century. Troubles of the grav-
est kind are brewing all over the prov
inces. Every political and social insti-
tuition Is threatened in turn. and the
least nervous among farsighted poli-
ticians apprehend a complete debacle.
but the failure of the national de-
fense is not alone accountable for this.
Incredible as it may seem, the majority
of Spaniards have absolutely no inter-
est in the war and even display a Will
ingness to forget the past and to en-
deavor to rub along without colonies,
but with assistance.
THE statesmen responsible for the loss
Of the colonies are utterly reckless. and
the Indifference to the peoples ruin
manifested by the governing and up
per middle classes IS probably unparal-
leled in history. Hunger and misery
are making themselves felt throughout
the country. There will soon be S5,-
600 unemployed in Catalonia, and ev-
erywhere else there are similar accounts
of distress, going from bad to worse
day by day.
'The government is painfully con-
scious and is now taking energetic
measures, but all Of these are of a
coercive character. Troops which might
have successfully defended the Philip
pines are being massed at all centers
where starvation protests are likely to
assume an aggressive form, while mon
ey is being wasted on warships that will
never fire a shot.
THE press expects to be gagged, but
it unanimously declares that no amount
of coercion and no degree Of dictatorial
| despotism will hinder the country from
rising and manifesting it's will. What
/ is far more serious is the unfortunate
circumstance that the dynasty shares in
the unpopularity Of the government.
1.-THE people argue that repression Is
being employed solely in favor of the
monarchy, which has remained passive
during the terrible national crisis. On
my way to the palace to witness the
confirmation OF the young monarch
heard expression given to antidynastiC
sentiments Of the most uncomprOmisinl
character, which bode no good to tbs
boy king. In all other classes the same
lack of sympathy Is Enthusiastically mani
fest
"If Spain's colonies are not worth

CUBAN RoAps MINED.
Dynamite Under Highways to Destroy
American Troops.


American Troops.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, June 2S.-Ev-
cry road and bypath leading into the
city of Santiago, it was learned here
yesterday, has been mined with dyna-
mite by the Spanish soldiers, under the
direction Of General Linares.
This information was contained in a
letter from Santiago just received by a
Cuban now in Kingston. His corre-
spondent added that the Spanish OFF,
GERS expect to do enormous damage by
this system Of mines.
II they succeed in carrying out their
plans they will annihilate the advance
division of the American and Cuban ar
mics when the assault upon Santiago
begins.
Cubans here tell a story to the effect
that after the fighting about Baiquiri
last Wednesday a band Of Cubans who
participated boasted OF having found a
wounded Spaniard, a mere lad, lying IN
the brush, and that they prodded him
with machetes in an effort to make him
tell Of the situation in the city Of San
tiago.
Either the Spaniard did not under
stand, or else he knew nothing about
Santiago. He gave the Cubans no sat
lsfaction, and they set upon him with
great ferocity, according to the story
killing him and cutting off his head.
1t is understood here that the story is
being investigated by General Shafter.
