ish Minister, Polo, and was then at
eral information about the navy and
particularly about the Brooklyn navy
yard. After one and half hours talk
he came to Washington at the direction
OF the Lieutenant. He left Toronto Fri
day afternoon for this city. Before leav-
ing Toronto, Carranzas gave Downing
an address, which apparently that off,
Ger furnished in Montreal, to which he
was to send all information he OBJ
tanned. Downing, who arrived here
yesterday afternoon, went directly to
916 E street, where he had stopped no
longer than a week ago. When he left
he told the landlady he was going to
Virginia. Shortly after reaching the
house he went out again to the Post
office and dropped letter into the box
for the address in Montreal which had
been given to him.
Il should say right here that our Of
fcers recognized Downing as soon as
he arrived at the railroad depot and
kept strict watch on his movements
all during the afternoon and evening
up to the time of his arrest. The letter
which he mailed was promptly inter-
copied and its contents examined. 1t
contained a statement as to certain
matters in Washington, said the writer
would soon be able to forward some i'm
portant information about the Holland
submarine boat; gave a summary of
the steps for the relief of Admiral
Dewey and promises data as to the
movement of American Golfers. Down
ing also said he intended to go to Nor
folk and expected to obtain important
information. The letter was signed
simply with the initials 'G. D.
I'VE were we'll satisfied that the man
was a spy and set about to secure his
apprehension. We communicated with
Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn of the
War Department, to whom we gave a
summary of the information in our pos
session, and then with Judge Advocate
General Leiber of the army, who adj
vised that the man be arrested and
turned over to the military authorities.
Downing returned to his room during
the evening, after dining and reading
the news bulletins.
Accompanied by Captain Sage of the
Eighth Artillery, a Corporal and a pri
vate and by my own officers and a po-
liceman, we went to Downing's house
where we secured him without much
trouble. He offered no resistance, but
appeared frightened and surprised at
what was taking place. He was hand
cuffed to the private, who, accompanied
by Captain Sage and the Corporal, took
him to the arsenal where he is under
guard. We have turned him over to the
military authorities for their DISPOSE
ton. AS / said before I think there is
no doubt of the mans guilt, sufficient in
my judgment to justify the extreme
penalty Of the law"

Opinions Are Divided Respecting
the Situation.
Senior SiIVeIa's Speech In the COrtes on
Saturday Destroyed the Hopes of
Sagasta's Cabinet That the
Cortes Would Aid 1t.

MADRID, May 5000 a. m.-The
newspapers and political circles this
morning openly discuss the Spanish cri-
sis, and it is expected that some defin-
lite decision will be arrived at during
the Cabinet council which is to be held
to-day.
Opinions are divided respecting the
situation but the friends of Senior Da-
mazo and others think the time has ar
rived for the formation of a strong
military Cabinet. This may turn out
to be correct. On the other hand, the
most able of the Liberal and Conserva-
tive statesmen consider such action to
be premature.
The real reasons for the supposed de-
sire of the Cabinet to resign are, it is
understood, that Senior Moret the
Minister for the Colonies, in his recent
speech asked the Cortes to aid and
sanction the executive solution of the
problems. But Senior Silvela's speech
of yesterday destroyed the hopes OF the
Sagasta Ministry that the Cortes might
be converted into a convention to screen
themselves from responsibility. Be-
sides, Senior Silvela affirmed that the
granting of autonomy to Cuba had vir-
tually lost Cuba to Spain.
Senior Canalejas also said that he con-
sidered Senior Moret's colonial and for
eign policy to be fatal to Spain.
This attitude of the leading authori-
tbs xf the Chamber has SO discouraged
the Ministry, still smarting under re-
cent disasters and struggle with the
appalling provincial problems, that it
/ is considered impossible to stave off
the crisis, even by the most earnest
appeals to the leaders of all parties for
support

WILL BE NO CHANGE.
The Cabinet Will Energetica11y
Push the Campaign.

MADRID, May 81 p. m.-The up
shot of the Cabinet council held today
is understood to be that there will be
no change in the Ministry for the pres
ent, and that the Cabinet has resolved
to ''energetically push the campaign,
especially in the Philippine Islands"
Premier Sagasta is now comforting
with the Queen Regent, who summoned
him to her presence.
In the Cortes all the measures pend
ing the solution will, it is said, be rap
idly voted thus leaving the Govern
ment a full hand to cope with national
problems.

RIOTING IN ITALY.
Martial Law Has Been Declared in
Tuscany.

ROME, May S-The general situation
here is regarded as being distinctly
grave 1t now seems to be clearly
demonstrated that politics are mixed
up in the disturbances which have oc-
Cured in various parts of the kingdom
owing to the high price of bread, and
the Clerical party is believed to be TO-
menting the disorder. A royal decree,
issued yesterday, proclaimed martial
law through Tuscany, one of the most
fertile and best cultivated parts OF
Italy.
There was a renewal of serious riot
ing at Florence, the Capital of Tuscany.
Friday night and there were further
disturbances at Leghorn, capital of the
province of that name, situated on the
Mediterranean, about fifty miles from
Florence. At both places number

There were serious riots at Milan
yesterday, resulting with the declara-
ton of martial law. Thousands OF
working men barricaded the streets
with overturned horse cars and furni-
ture from pillaged houses, endeavoring
to prevent the departure of the re-
serves who have been called out for ac-
tive duty OWlUS 10 the many iCSSAie
disturbances. There were several en-
counters between the military and the
rioters. Three citizens were killed and
several were wounded. AS this dis
patch was sent from Milan the troops
were in possession of the main streets
of that city.
Later dispatches from Milan report
that yesterday mornings rioting was
most serious at the Valazzo Saporito,
in the Corso Venezia, and that several

When the vengeance wakes. when tho battle

And the ships sweep ont to sea.
When the foe Is neared, when the decks are

And the colors floating free.
When the squadrons meet. when it's dect to

And front to front with Spain,
From ship to ship, from lip to lip,
Pass on the quick refrain.

When the flag shall sign. Advance in line:
Train ships on an even keel"
When the guns shall flash and the shot shah

And bound on the ringing steel,
When the rattling blasts from tho armored

Are hurting their dcadlicst rain,
Let thor voices loud, through the binding

Cry ever the fierce refrain,
Remember, remember the Mainei'
Gods sky and sea in Tint storm shall DO
Fate's chaos of smoke and fame,
But across that hell every shot shall tell.
