London, June 2S.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Daily Telegraph, says:
Spain is in a state of ferment, of transit
ton without parallel during the present
century. Troubles OF the gravest kind
are brewing all over the province. Every
political and social institution is threaten
ed in turn. and the least nervous among
the far-Sighted politicians apprehend a
complete debacle.
But the failure of the national defense
is not alone accountable for this. In
credible as 1t may seem. the majority of
SpaniardS take absolutely no interest in
the war. and even display a Willingness
to forget the past and TO endeavor to
run along without colonies.
The statesmen responsible for the loss
of the colonies are utterly reckless and
the indifference to the peoples ruin mani
tested by the governing and upper middle
classes is probably unparalleled in his
tory. Hunger and misery are making
themselves felt throughout the country.
There will soon be 81 600 unemployed in
Catalonia, and everywhere else there are
similar signs of distress, going from bad
to worse, day by day.
The government is painfully conscious
and is now taking energetic measures,
but all of these are of coercive char
acter. Troops which might have success
fully defended the Philippines are being
massed at all the centers where starva-
ton protests are likely to assume an ag-
gressive form. while money is being
shot.
The press expects to be gagged, but it
unanimously declares that no amount of
coercion and no degree of dictatorial des-
Dotism will hinder the country from ris-
ing and manifesting its will What is
far more serious is the unfortunate cir
cumstance that the dynasty shares in the
of the government
The people argue that repression is
being employed solely in favor of the
which has remained absolutely
passive during the terrible national crisis
On my way to the palace to witness the
confirmation of the young monarch, 1
heard the expression given TO anti-dynas-
tic sentiments of the most uncompromis-
ing character which bode no good to the
boy king. In all other classes the same
lack of sympathy is Enthusiastically ex-
pressed.

fighting for says one nobleman.

soldiers were not sent to fight the Yam

NO COAL FOR CAMARA.
May Serve As a Pretext For His Re
turn to Spain

LuTA 70 Opd1n-
London, June 2S-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Standard saws:
Egypt's refusal to supply coal to Adj
miral Camara's squadron is strongly
resented, as due to England's infiu-
ence. II is regarded as direct proof of
an AnSlo-American entente.
The Spanish Transatlantic Steam
ship company has coal. depoSs at Aeon,
Colombo and Singapore. Captain Au-
non, minister of marine, hopes the
matter may be arranged, since Eng
land has not yet declared coal contra
band of war. According to another
version, the incident will serve as a
preteXt to bring Admiral Camara back
TO Spain to check American aggression.
New York, June pa dispatch to
the Tribune from Cairo, Egypt, says:
The Egyptian government has in
structed its authorities at Port Said
to prevent the $50 stOkers engaged
there by Admiral Camara for his fleet
from embarking on the Spanish ships,
and has courteOusly informed Admiral
Camara that so doing would be an in
fringement of the laws of neutrality.
which Egypt intends vigorously to OBJ
serve.
The Audaz machinery requires re-
pairs, and Camara has signified his in
tention of remaining at Port Said ior
three days.
London, June 2S-The Times, COM
menting editOrially upon the move
ments Of Admiral Camara's squadron,
says: This singular naval promenade
is probably of a theatrical character.
designed TO serve the double purpose
of impressing the United States and
satisfying public opinion in Spain. 1t
will certainly fail to attain the first
of these objects.
THE million pesetas required to pay
for the passage of the squadron
through the Suez canal might be more
usefully employed than in a demon
stration that alarms nobody and it is
too late to relieve Manila.
Doubtless, however, the Spaniards
are justified in declining to be greatly
frightened by the threat of an Ameri-
can expedition to the Peninsula, though
this may stimulate the demand for the
conclusion Of peace"
