tackled For Their Inoapnoity.

A Madrid special says; In the cham
Der Of deputies Friday Senior Canalo-
jas, in the course Of a long speech Of
violent and unmeasured abuse, de-
nouncing the government collectively
and individually for its conduct dur
ing the war aud now in the peace ne
gotiations.
He produced a sensation by assert
ing that when Admiral Ceryera asked
for instructions Of war, the minister
for the colonies replied to him; "MayA
God help you"
Senior Canaleias accused Senior Sa-
gasta Of continuing himself dictator
merely to satisfying his personal am
billions; and he attacked Lieutenant
General Correa, minister Of war, and
Captain Aunon, minister Of marine,
mercilessly for their incapacity.
The following statement has been
made by an important Spanish official:
'Senor Silyela-the leader Of a sec
tion Of the conservative party-refuses
the government the support Of his
party, although he is fully aware Of
the situation. Hell doubtless prompt
ed by the desire to obtain power. We
will do all in our power to realize his
desire with short delay. The country
will then see how soon the man, who
is now posing as a liberal, will be
transformed into a despotic dictator"
General Polavieja has handed copy
of his manifesto to the newspaper
men, but the censor also forbids its
transmission by telegraph.
The Liberal (newspaper) again makes
the assertion that Premier Sagasta will
resign as soon as the chamber adopts
the peace bill.
The governments severe measures
TO prevent reports of the secret ses-
sions of the cortes are nulliied by the
sensational deputies of the opposition,
who are eager to inform the foreign
correspondents as to what goes on.
Thursdays session of the chamber
ended with Senior Silvela attacking
the government and exclaiming:
''The Sagasta ministry is a corpse,
and we do not discuss corpses. We
bury them"
Senior Canalejas, who is a lieutenant
Of Polavieia's new party, urged an in
quiry into the sources of the charges
against the army and navy. The de.
bate apparently weakened the govern
ment.
It is reported that at the cabinet
council Senior Sagasta told his coll
leagues that they must be prepared
for the fall of the cabinet.
General Blanco has appealed to the
government for funds, representing
that the situation in Cuba is distress
ing.
Senior Romero Giro, minister for
the colonies, has asked the treasury
for 100, 900, 900 pesetas. In reply he
received 30,000,000.
The Bank of Spain nominally holds
! 1000, 100000 pesetas in International
tours, but the sums supplied to the
government on this guarantee are al
ready exhausted.
The government recently forwarded
to NJ Cambon, the French ambassador
at Washington, long and strongly
worded statement respecting the Phil
ippines, which he will communicate
verbally to the Washington govern
ment
Spain protests against the capitula-
ton Of Manila because it was effected
two days after the protocol was sign
ed. It says that the revenue from the
Manila customs may continue devoted
to the service of the Philippine loan of
1897, and finally, it insists upon the
United States compelling Aguinaldo to
liberate thousand Spaniards now in
his custody, most of whom we're placed
there, the note asserts, by Admiral
Dewey.
The Philippine question came up,
but without final determination went
over to the next cabinet meeting. At
that time the American case will be
prepared in the rough, and it is in
tended that there shall be full at
tendance for a full discussion.
