London, Dec. 6.-The Paris correspond
ent of The Daily TelegIaph says: "Ac-
cording to trustworthy news from Ma
drid Spain is seething with sedition
born of bankruptcy and ruin. One of
the best informed men in the kingdom
assures me that the chances of revo-
luton are increasing by leaps and
bounds. Carlism exists in three prov
inces only, but the disaffection to-
ward the present government is Cock
tensive with the entire Spanish race"

Sagasta, the premier, Will submit to the
queen regent a question of confidence. 1t
IS thought probable that her majesty
will ask Senor Sagasta to remain in
power, in which case the cortes will
be conVoked for Jan. =. From the dec
larations of General Weyler il is be-
lieved that union of the followers of
Sagasta, Romero Robledo, and General
Weyler will be effected as soon as peace
is signed. General WeyIer in an inter-
view has pronounced against the Con-
servatives declaring that Cuba was the
only question which separated him from
the Liberals. He considers the internal
crisis grave. lin view of the attitude of
Great Britain. which by encouraging
civil war desires to do with Spain what
the United States has done with her
colonies"
Under these circumstances, General

Paris, Dec. 6.-The Joint commits
sion met at 2 p. IN. and is still in
session. 1t has developed that yes
terday's session was far more import
ant than was generally supposed.
The Americans uncompromisingly re-
jected Spain's request for the same
commercial privileges in the Cuban
and Porto Rican ports as the United
States for a term of years. The Span
iards for some DAYS have been playing
for delay. The Americans were anx-
iOus for n decision on a cOaling sta
tiOn and religious tolerance in the
Carolines, and the release of political
prisoners. The SPaniards were un-
willing to answer till they heard what
the Americans proposed to do for
them in the way of trade advantages
in the ex-Spanish West Indies.
When the commissioners emerged
from the foreign office this evening,
after long session. Judge Day. pres
ident of the American commission,
announced that all requests had been
settled, and that the treaty would be
signed within three or four days.
The work remaining consists largely
of drafting into language the conclu-
sion reached.

Paris. Dec. 6.-The joint America

Much of the discussion concerned de-

to be detected. Sscretary Ojeda, of the

after the meeting as to the progress

Il am almost mad. I cannot talk

The American commissioners declined
to say anything except that the prog
ress made was satisfactory. The history
of the document which VIII certify the
passing of the oldest colonial power in
the world and the advert Of the newest
was epitomized by Judge Day last even
ing in a single sentence:

Frye's Unconcealed Contempt.
The Americans had listened for hours
with their customary patience to the
technicalitiss brought up by the Span
iards with their customary shrewdness
and persistency against every proposal
making for the dismembcrment of their
empire. Senator Frye. whose uncon-
cealed contempt for diplomatic quib-
blings excites the astonishment of the
4
home, his patience exhausted. The
burden of the Spanish arguments was
that matters outside the bare cession
and evacuation of the conquered ter
ritories, which the Americans proposed
to cover by the treaty, were beyond the
legitimate and customary scope of j
peace treaty.
No Caroline Coaling Station Likely.
Behind this bulwark Senor Montero
Rios. president of the Spanish COM
mission. fortified himself. bombarding
his opponents with a supply of argu-
ments and precedents which inspired
the freely-expressed admiration of the
Americans. Finally Judge Day sum-
married. the American position in the
foregoing memorable utterance. 1t was
given and taken in good spirit, and
from that moment the proceedings were
entirely friendly. The commissioners
QeCuUe say WHaI conclusion was
reached, but the bargain for a coaling
station in the Carolines was not
cemented. and according to present
prospects it is likely to fail. The temper
of the Americans in this matter is:
I'VE made you a good offer for an ISL
and. You may take or leave it, The
Spaniards seem disposed to leave it.
Spaniards Fight for Concessions.
The Spanish commissioners continue
fighting with tooth and nail to procure
every possible pecuniary and other con-
cessiOn- The Americans promised to
guarantee the return of Spanish pris-
oners in the hands of the Filipinos and
the Spaniards now want the United
States to pay the transportation. This
the Americans decline. The Spaniards
also claim the war munitions at Manila.
The Americans reply that as the Unit
ed States had conquered the Philippines
these munitions We're spoils of war.

THE NEWS RECEIVERSHlP.
Hilton U. Brown, City Editor, in
Charge of the Property.

In Room 1 Superior Court yesterday
Hilton U. Brown. city editor of the paper,
was appointed receiver for the Indianapolis
News property by agreement of all parties
concerned in the suit of William ]. Richards
against Charles r. Williams and others.
The plaintiff is the business manager of the
paper and last April brought suit for re-
ceiver, an accounting and dissolution of
partnership.
The appointment of Mr.. Brown as receiver
is a preliminary step toward the settle
ment of the suit and looks TO the eventual
sale of the paper. This will probably be
ordered during the September term of
court. Mr.. Brown, after his appointment, at
once took charge of the trust, furnishing
a bond of $4,000. with the Marion Trust
Company as surety. In accordance with the
decree of the court, the editorial and busi-
ness management of the paper will continue
without change. The receiver is to con-
tinue the salaries of W. j. Richards and
Charles R Williams as stated in the part
nership contract and is to distribute all
profits that may accrue from the business.
No changes to be made in the working force
of the paper or in the compensation of the
employees without the consent of all the par
ties to the litigation. Judge McMaster is to
determine the method of the sale Of the
paper.

THE CRUEL COL. BARNETT
BICKNELL, md, CITIZENS FILE A
PROTEST WITH THE GOVERNOR.
Use Very Strong Language in De-
nouncing the Ohicer-The Execu-
tive Wires to Washington.

Governor Mount received an energetic doc
umentary protest in his mail yesterday from
fifty prominent citizens OF Bicknel, Ind. 1t
IS directed altogether against Colonel Bar
nett. he of the sawhorse proclivities, now in
command of the One-hundred-and-fif fifty
ninth Indiana Regiment at Camp Alger. The
town furnished a portion of Companies A
and L Of this regiment, and the protest
sets forth the opinion of the townsmen with
reference to Colonel Barnett's disposition
and abilities in no unmistakable terms. 1t
alleges him to be unfit to command men
his appropriate station should be in COM
mand of a gang of convicts. The paper de-
mands the revocation of the colonels COM
mission without any apologies.
Governor Mount attended to the matter
at once by telegraphing to the War De-
partment at Washington for definite infor-
nation in the case. Private letters indicate
the destruction of the instrument Of torture
erected by Colonel Barnett, under orders
from General Graham and a board of off,
GERS, with the additional instructions pro-
hibiting the erection of such an implement
of pain again. The Governor will take no
decisive step in the matter until he receives
some report Of the affair from the govern
ment.
The feeling against Colonel Barnetts fu-
ture continuance at the head of an Indiana
regiment still continues strong in this city.

THE STATE AND THE TAX
ATTORNEY GENERAL MAY TAKE A
wHIRL AT EXPRESS COMPANIES.
They Refused to Accent state GeoIo-
gist's Packages without stamps
Telegram to Fairbanks.

The State of Indiana, through State Ge-
ologist Blatchley, is now involved in trouble
with all the express companies entering the
city over the workings of the new stamp
revenue law, and before the end is reached
there promises to be some interesting de-
velopments for both parties. The trouble
originated yes terday when the state geolo-
gist made arrangements to ship his annual
reports to the various points in the State.
The shipment is in innumerabie bundles
and weighs in the aggregate eight thousand
pounds. Every express company was asked
to accept the matter for shipment and each
one declined to do so unless the state paid
package This the geologist refused to do,
and sought to compel the companies to take
the goods and deliver them as common car
riers, without success.
When every method of persuasion had
been exhausted Attorney General Ketcham
was called on for an opinion as to the prop
er manner of procedure. The matter is now
under consideration by the attorney general
and when the law has been thoroughly over
hauled, he will give an opinion as to what
shall be done in the matter. The impression
in the Statehouse by4 those who have read
the law is that the express companies are
compelled by the law to furnish the stamps
for all receipts at their own expense, al
though Mr.. Ketcham declines to express
himself on the subject until he has thor
oughly examined into the matter.

Engineers Getting Into Shape.

Captain B. f. Dickson busted himself yes
terday in working his new company of en-
gineers into shape for drill. All the men
We're assigned to places in the line and took
to their work readily. Marching is the only
exercise which will be given any attention
at present, as nearly every trade is repre-
sented in the company and when the COM
pany is placed in action. where their techni-
cal knowledge is called into play each man
will be supposed to be at home at his own
occupation without much prompting. For
instance, according to the illustrations
made by Major Savage, if a job of masonry
is to be either demolished or built up, the
masons in the company know as well as the
oincers how to go about it. The same con-
dition obtains in the case of the carpenters
and all other crafts represented. The COM
pany has several quarrymen in the ranks
and these men will be of great assistance
when it comes to demolishing rocky OBJ
structions in the way of the artillery.
The men will in all probability leave for
Fort Sheridan Wednesday. To-day they will
avail themselves of the invitation of Rev.
J. Cumming Smith, of the Tabernacle
Church. and attend morning services in the
