LONDON, May S1.-The Madrid cores
pendent of the Times says:
ut is reported that Senior Sagasta, the
Premier, during Sundays Cabinet coun-
Gil, reasserted that Spain does not ex-
pect the support diplomatic or other
wise. of any foreign Power, and that
there Is no question whatever of under
taking negotiations for this purpose
through Senior Leon y Castillo, Spanish
Ambassador at Paris"
The Madrid correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph says:
Widespread distress is reported in va
rious parts Of the interior, more espe-
cially in the province OF Catalonia, where
food prices have risen considerably,
while a number Of working people have
been thrown out of employment. This
week several factories at Mauresa,
northwest OF Barcelona, will have to be
closed, as a result OF which hundreds OF
families will be plunged into misery. The
local government is endeavoring to allie
vlate want by opening soup kitchens
RIOTS BREAK OUT AGAIN.
According to a dispatch from Murcia
capital OF the province of that name,
riots occurred yesterday Sunday in the
city of Mula, owing to the scarcity OF
food, especially bread. Details OF the
outbreak have not yet been received but
it is known that the local authorities and
a number Of wealthy individuals have ar
ranged to have cheap bread baked for
the poor.
"The views of a considerable number OF
Spaniards respecting the conduct or the
war are expressed to-day by FL Nacional,
as follows:
"'Without plan, without purpose, with
out earnestness, we are frittering away
the one advantage which the enemy's lack
of military education gave US. We nei-
Their boldly take the offensive nor confine
ourselves strictly to defence. Admiral
Ceryera displays a system OF strategy
which warrants the belief that we are
making ready for a protracted war, so as
20 tire out the enemy; but Captain Aunon.

ness, declares that he cannot proiong the

THE wAR-REvENUE BILL.
Another Day of Fruit1ess Discus
sion-Lodge on Hawaii Annexation.


WASHINGTON, d. c., May 31.-Another
day has been passed by the Senate in
fruitless discussion Of the war revenue
measure Not the slightest material pro-
gress was made at to-day's session toward
disposing of the bill. Speeches were
made by Mr.. Mason Republican, of ILL
nos; Mr.. Lodge Republican), Of Massa-
chusetts, and Mr.. Elkins Republican,,
Of West Virginia. Mr.. Mason strongly
advocated an amendment to the bill plac-
ing a tax upon wheat flour adulterated
either with clay or with corn flour, and
presented a long statement made by the
National Association of American Millers
in support of his contention.
Mr.. Lodge had intended to defend his
action in offering the Hawaiian annexa-
ton resolution as an amendment to the
pending measure, but RETAINED, because,
he said, a secret session would be de-
manded if that discussion were started.
After commenting somewhat severely
upon the arrogance of the minority, which
prevented action upon a question which
the administration and a majority in both
DTdICNeS OIL congress desired 10 ulSpOSc
of, he began a discussion of some of the
questions arising out Of the present war.
SECRET SESSION FORCED.
Evidently believing this not a proper
subject for public discussion. Mr.. Turpie
DemocraD, of India, forced a secret ses-
sion.
In the open session that followed,
Mr. Elkins discussed the general features
of the pending bill, opposing the corpora
the issue Of greenbacks, and strongly adj
ton tax, the tax on bank deposits, and
vocated the issue of bonds.
Soon after the opening of the session,
Mr.. Sullivan was sworn In as a senator
from Mississippi to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Senator Walthall. The
Senate went into executive session al $50
L. NJ, and soon afterward adjourned.
LIFE-SAVING STATIONS.
Tho house was in session one hour and
thirty-five minutes to-day. A number
OF private bills were passed. and the
House in Committee of the Whole con-
sidered bill authorizing the Secretary of
the Treasury to keep open during June
and July OF this year such life-saving
stations on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts
as he might deem advisable.
After some desultory discussion. the bill
was amended so as to carry $4,000, in
stead OF sl25 600, and passed.
The House, at :35 z. NJ, adjourned.

This Attractive Resort Being I'M
proved-Its Popularity on Increase.
The Richmond Railway and Electric
Company has put In vogue new schedule
to Lakeside Park, and now the cars
bound for that attractive suburban resort
leave First and Broad street every afteen
minutes instead of every half hour. The
park management has made extensive
improvements out there, too, and the
grounds are now brilliantly Illuminated
each evening by electric arc lights, which
are scattered over the entire park. Mr..
Anton ii. Thierman, who has managed
the park ever since 1t was opened, was
in Richmond yesterday, when he made
arrangements for a band Of music to play
there nightly. The band will probably
commence its concerts some time next
week.
Lakeside is one Of the handsomest parks
in the South, its natural advantages being
equal to if not surprising any other in
Virginia. 1t is a great resort for wheel
men. and now that the weather has
turned warm, hundreds of bikers flock
there every night and Toll around on the
lawn in front of the inn or around the
lake shore. Mr.. Thierman purposes add
ing TO the menagerie there, and in short
time he expects TO have one of the best
ZOOS south OF Baltimore.

Eggs.

WELDON, ". c., May 3i.-(Special.)-
The great hall-storm in this county last
evening was by long odds the most de-
structive ever known in Halifax county.
In the Tillery section 1t demolished crops
and caused the death OF Mr.. j. X. Weeks,
who died OF excitement, he having heart
disease.
In the Enfield section IL ruined all the
tobacco in fits path, and greatly injured
fruit trees.
At Aurelian Springs II was the most Sc
we're. Sheep. hogs, turkeys. and chick
ems were killed. A horse was also
knocked against a wire fence, and the
animal fell, breaking it's neck. One hum
dred and fifty window-glass were broken
in the Panacea Hotel, and holes were
knocked in the roofs of many OF the
neighborhood buildings. The gardens
and crops were all ruined at Essex. and
fifty-three windows were broken In sgd
ney Williams's store. The hail-stones
measured as large as hens eggs, and In
some places larger. They came with
great force and punctured holes in tin
roofs as IL they had been shot from
rifles.
The State farms escaped, with the ex-
ception Of the Tillery farm, that was
damaged about 500.
Reports from all sections Of the county
coming In to-day agree that 1t was the
most destructive hail-storm ever before
known.
Further Particulars.
SCOTLAND NECK, n. c., May a.
(Special)-Th worst hail and wind
storm ever known in this community laid
bare many thousands OF acres yesterday,
destroying every crop In its path. The
hailstones were from the size OF apples
and hen eggs down, and some were
thought to be as large as goose eggs.
The storm struck a few miles south Of
Halifax, and came down the river. The
trees were beaten and blown down and
the bark was knocked from the trees as
if they had been beaten with hammers.
All farms were left as clean as IL the
land had been freshly ploughed. Build
ings were unroofed, and at Spring Hill,
small town six miles from here, the
shingles were beaten from the roofs of
the houses and windows smashed and
serious destruction wrought generally.
Further down the river a negro was
killed by a house falling in on him, and
several horses were killed by q gin
house falling on them.
Mr.. +. NJ. Johnson, farmer few
miles below town, was caught in the
fields and carried for some distance by
the wind, and the hail cut his face and |
head very badly. At Tillery, the son |
of Mr.. w. III. Carter was caught in the |
storm, his horse ran away, leaving him |
in the road until after the storm, and |
the last news from him said it is thought |
he will die. The track of the storm was !
down Roanoke river, and 1t is feared that !
even worse reports may come in to-day. |
At the same hour a fearful hail-storm |
passed over the country about ten miles |
south of Scotland Neck, and wrought |
great destruction to the crops, passing |
on toward Tarboro', but full particulars |
cannot be gotten yet
