SPAIN MUST RAISE FUNDS.
COrtes to Sit Continuously Until
Credits Are Voted.

Madrid, May 1O.-The government intends
until the war measures are adopted. The
minister of finance, Senior Puigcerver, de-
cleres that unless credits are voted it is
IMPOSSIBLE to meet the demands for ammu-
nitioa and provisions for Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Balearic Islands and the Canary
Islands or TO obtain the necessary stocks
of coal.
The Congress Qower house, had a pro-
longed sitting this evening, with view
of passing the current measures giving the
government authority TO procure funds to
continue the war.
Senior Salmeron, the Republican leader,
alluded to the rumors of the Queen Re
gents abdication and declared that the
Republicans were ready to form gov
eminent forthwith.
His remarks evoked a storm of protests,
and Senior Salmeron was unable to pro-
coed for fully ten minutes Monarchists
and Republicans shreked at each other
and banded threats.
The presidents voice was completely
drowned. When he finally obtained
hearing, the president Marquis Vega de
Armijo. requested Sepor Sameron to
withdraw the calumny.
Senior Salmeron refused, whereupon the
president named him and threatened to
name him thrice if he continued his at
tacks upon the throne
AS a result of this caution and of the
persistent Monarchist Interruptions, Senior
Salmeron was compelled to desist from
continuing his speech.
Senior Sagasta, the premier then rose
and declared that any one trying TO show
disunion' among Spaniards when the ma
ton was engaged in an international
struggle was unworthy of the name of
Spanard.
Senior Sagasta appealed TO the patriotism
of the members and prayed the House TO
vote the funds so necessary to conduct
the war"
His appeal was greeted with the cry,
1--WE will vote Immediately"
Senior Silvela, leader of the dissident
conservatives, said his party would alb
stain from further discussion and was
ready to vote the urgent war funds imme-
diately, but he claimed the right to de-
bate the other budgetary measures.

POPE WANTS PEACE.
Cardinal RampOIIa States the Posi-
ton of the Holy See

Washington, May 10.-In view of the va.
rious conflicting stories which have been
published during the past two weeks by

land purporting to give the attitude OF the
Pope regarding the war existing between
the United States and Spain, and who
have asserted various intentions of the
holy father to interest himself In behalf
Of one or the other of the conflicting ma
tons, the apostolic delegate gives 10 the
American public this aablegram just re-
ceived from the vatican, with the hope that
it may put all on their guard against Civ
ing credence TO any of the rumors which
may hereafter be published concerning the
position or tendency OF the Pope and the
Catholic Church:
Rome, May 9, 1898 -Monsigneur Maru-
nell, Apostolic Delegate, Washington:
Some journals, especially English, are diff
fusing insinuations with regard 10 the
Holy See In the present Spanish-American
conflict as though the Holy See were taxi
ing the part of one or the other OF the
conflicting parties. 1t is superhuous to
deny such foolish talk. The perfectly prop
er attitude which the Holy See has main
tanned and Will maintain toward the two
nations being known to all, the Holy See
having no other desire than that for peace.
You will make such use of this as you
deem opportune M. Cardinal Rampoila.
Rome. May 10.-The Vatican organ, the
Osservatore Romano, officially repudates
the accusation that the Holy See is more
favorably disposed toward Spain than 1t
Is toward the United States.

Key West, May 10s-The Spanish fish

vessels in the harbor this morning.
The capture of the Bratsberg bears many
features of resemblance to that of the
French steamer Lafayette, but like that
case, it will be settled without any inter

About two weeks ago the Bratsberg,

the Cuban coast by the blockading fleet.

of days when she sailed, ostensbly for
New York to find a market for the cattle.
She was piloted out of this harbor April q,
and was not seen again until yesterday
morning, when the gunboat Newport
sighted her about twenty-five miles off
Havana. Capt. Tilery knew she had once
been warned, and observing that she was
floating easily and with cattle pens appar-
emily empty, he hailed and boarded her.
Capt. Thorsen stoutly denied that he was
attempting to slip past the blockade, but
he could not satisfactorily explain the dis
position of his cargo and was sent i'm I'M
der the Mangrove's escort, in company
with the fishing smack Fernandito, taken
by the Vicksburg OFF Havana yesterday.
There is a great deal of sorrow here over
the illness of Chaplain Chadwick, formerly

IN TIE OIL FIELDS.

& Developments In the southwest fields
during the past week are OF very little
Importance. New gushers failed to
rriaterlailze aud no extensions to any
OF the old pools were discovered. Even
In the busy lower southwest there is a
very noticeable decline In field opera
lions, and there Is little or no hope for
change In the immediate future.
The only topic discussed was the new
well on the ALBRIGHT farm on Whisky
run, Richie county, the principal point
OF interest 90 those holding leases was
Its probable staying qualities. The fact
that the oil is lighter In color and grav-
ity than that found In the regular Big
1njun formation made some little
skeptlcaI, and not few pronounced 1t a
freak, and for that reason preferred 10
wait and watch the actions OF the
Gusher before starting new work. Early
in the week the well was agitated for
short time and Its production increas-
ed TO twenty-five barrels an hour. From
hhcn to the end OF the week II kept
above1twenty barrels an hour, and on
Saturday was again agitatcd for few
minutes and the production again in
creased to twenty-five barrels an hour
After almost two weeks t.lal 1t does
not require a stretch of the Imagination
to think that 1t. shows the existence OF
n new pool. The prelimiaarles for fur
Their development of the adjacent terri
tory are now well under way and by
the first of the coming month more will
be known of the Whiskey Run terri
tory.
Near Richie Mines Is another devcl-
opment that Is attracting some atten-
ton. but the territory Is not regarded
in the gusher class: however. there Is
some new work starting and lease!uld-
ers feel assured they have good thing.
In that part OF Richie county there
are large tracts of territory INFESTED,
and new pools will no doubt be discov-
cred.
Wood county is still active. and the
Henderson, pool and the Ogden extern
sion can be relied on to maintain their
production for some time to come. The
wells are uniform In size and very few
OF them busters, although the South
Penn got one of the latter kind last
Friday at its No. on the Alderman
farm, In the Henderson, rool.
On the Ohio side, the Wilson run de-
velopment. in Washington county. was
expected to furnish some more good
wells. but it proving rather a disap-
pointment. The Carter Oil Company
drilled in Its No. 3 on the Edwards
farm, but instead of a Eusher got only
small well. For the present at least,
there is nothing on the Ohio side of the
lower southwest that need cause any
alarm. Monroe county seems to have
dropped out OF the race.
Elk Fork has struck the down grade
again, and is not likely to recover. The
late wells in the southwest extension
have grown small, and It's from that To-
cality that the production OF the pool
has been kept UP for some months. The
output of the pool is little above 1000
barrels day. or about the same as the
daily average for the month Of August
last year.
