May Fight Duel.


May Fight a Duel.
Madrid. Sept. 15.-The premier, Senior
Sagasta, yesterday obtained the queen
regents signature to a decree prorogu-
ing the cortes, and with it ended a
stormy session OF the senate.
General Primo de Rivera had de-
manded an inquiry into his admin
istration of the Philippine Islands, and
in so doing he said the attacks of
Count Almenas were only ''fit for the
mouth of a miserable slanderer." Count
Almenas was endeavoring to reply,
when Senior Sagasta read the decree
proroguing the cortes.
Count Allenas and General Rivera
separately approached the president in
a hostile manner, and a duel is ex-
pected.
Premier Sagasta afterwards read the
degree in the chamber of deputies.
The government had intended the
cortes to sit until an indemnity bill for
the suspension Of the constitutional
guarantees has been passed, but the
threatened agitation on the part Of
General WeyIer and others, together
with the evidence of divisions in both
the Liberal and Conservative parties,
convinced Senior Sagasta Of the advisa-
bility of closing down debates which
would have hindered the free progress
of the peace negotiations. The cortes
will be next convoked to ratify the final
treaty of peace

Before closing my report / wish to
dwell upon the natural obstacles I had
to encounter and which no foresight
could have overcome or obviated. The
rocky and precipltous coast afforded no
sheltered landing places, the roads were
mere bride paths. the effect Of the
