tion for a Declaration of Intentions.
London, May 1.-THE Madrid corre-
spondent of The Times, explaining the
cabinet situation, says:
"Senor Moret's practical invitation to
the chamber to declare what policy the
country desired to adopt has not met
with general approval, it being regard
ID, as Senior Silvela said Saturday, as
q confession of impotence OH the gov
ernment's part and a conversion of the
cortes into a convention and of the
cabinet into a mere executive commit
tee.
cabinet changes have become in
evitable, and the Carists, Republicans
and Socialists are preparing to take ad-
vantage of any opportunity presenting
itself to make mischief. Happily the
activity of this hybrid group, which
includes several nondescript and un-
scrupulous politicians and some Romer-
lists, presents no immediate danger. In
side the chamber they only number
about 30 deputies, and outside they
have no efficient organization, except
the Carlists, who do not desire at
present any insurrectlonary movement,
but only want to discredit the mon
archy, hoping that an anarchic repub-
lie would pave the way to a legitimate
restoration In favor of Don Carlos.
Spain has not forgotten the terrible
sufferings Of the last Carlist war, and
does not desire to begin another strug-

NORWEGIAN STEAMER CAPTURED
Suspected of Making Second Attempt
to Run the Blockade.

to Run the Blockade.
Key West, Fla, May 1.-THE Nor
wegian steamer Bratsberg, which ar
rived yesterday under the convoy Of
the Mangrove, is still prize Of war,
pending the decision of the United
States government on the question. The
affair bears many features Of resemb-
lance to that of the French steamer
Lafayette, but, like that case, 1t Will
be settled without any international
complications.
About two weeks ago the Bratsberg,
bound from ProgTeso, Mexico, for Ha-
vana, with 800 head of cattle, was
warned off the Cuban coast by the
tblockading fleet. She put into this port
and remained a couple of days, when
she sailed, ostensibly for New York
to find a market for the cattle. She
was not seen again until Monday
morning, when the gunboat Newport
sighted her about 25 miles off Havana.
Captain Tilley hailed and boarded her.
Captain Thorsen stoutly denied that
he was attempting to slip past the
blockade, but he could not satisfac-
torily explain the disposition Of his
cargo. and was sent in under the Man
groves escort. in company with the
fishing smack Fernandito, taken by the
Vicksburg off Havana Monday.

Foreign Governments lay Urc, Her to
Yield Promptly to the Demands
of the United States.

Washington. May 11.-As result of
the Spanish reverse at Manila leading
members of the diplomatic corps, rep
of the great powers of Europe, have
unoficially exchanged views on the OPP
portuneness of a movement, prompted
by the most friendly spirit and in the
interest Of peace, towards urging upon
Spain the fut;lity of further prosecuting
the war. and inducing her to sue for
peace on the basis of the relinqush-
n,ent of Cuba, the-uromise of war In
Gemnity and the occupation of Manila
by Admiral Dewey until the war in
demnity is paid. 1t was stated by one
Of the most influential members of the
diplomatic corps, an ambassador, that
such step by Spain was the logical re-
suit of the crushing Spanish defeat,
and that Spain herself should be the
first to recognize it as measure for
her own self protection and self preser-
walton. He did not know whether the
men at the head of the government
were strong enough and brave enough
to save Spain by a heroic sacrifice of
her pride, but unless they did. he said,
the disaster of Manila would be re-
peated, for it was now patent to the
world that Spain's military and naval
strength was groteSquely inadequate
to cope with the forces Of the United
States, and Spanish pride would ulti-
mately be humbled into peace on far
more severe terms than she might be
able to obtain now.
1t is said that Spain's plight is such
at the present moment that a move
ment on the other side may begin at
any time towards inducing Spain to
make terms for closing the war. In
such a move it Is pointed out, those
powers which have been friendly to
Spain. particularly Austria and France,
might well join in urging her to sue for
peace before it was too late.
1t was stated with positiveness at
several of the embassies and legations
that intervention, in the sense of stay
ing the course of the United States
was no longer being discussed, and that
only such Intervention as would induce
Spain to sue for peace was possible
under the existing condition of AFFAIRS
The military authorities connected
with the foreign establishments here

tire staff OF officers ought to be, and

The following ver3e3 have been handed

Will you walk into the county jail
And look around the place;
And see the prisoners thin and palS
Pain written on their face.
All! Many tale of woe Is here,
And many II BIZ ter fate;
Some caused by drinking to much beor
And some from bitter hate.
But all have woe and trouble sore,
For oil have time to spend;
Imposed by Justice Charlie Lore,
Chief Dolan' hOnored friend.
And Sheriff Flynn feeds every guest,
With bread and meat aud beans;
With kind goud nature does his best
With the county spaltry means
And Warden Bowers with tho keys
Paradcs along the jail,
Collects the time-dune prisoners fees,
And let's them out on bail.
And Warden Conpor locks the tramps
With begbngs and with fleas,
And when they suffer with tho cramps,
Tries hard their pains to ease
And Warden Hanco retains his post,
A man we'll liked by all;
And Warden Gould gives out the clothes
To prisoners, short and tall.
And day by day new prisoners come
From noar ,aId some from far;
Their crimes were caused by drinking
And whiskey at the bar.
