One More Disaster 1t Is Believed

Some Instances Is Grave in Its
Character-CarIists Ready to
Seize the Reins of Government.
MADRID, May Q1 p. m.)-Both
chambers Of the cortes have adopted
the war measures proposed by the gov
ernment.
MADRID, May 9.-The Republicans
declare that the moment the telegraph
announces a new disaster to the Span
ish arms, the great mass of the coun-
try will rise and sweep away every
thing. The Carlists say that if there
are fresh disaster they will seize power.
Therefore, the key to the situation is
war news. The Carlists are well Or
ganized.
The Republicans are divided by diff
ferences of programmes and the rival
ries of their leading men. That portion
which is capable of active practical
work has endeavored tc get the sup
port of at least part of the army with
out which they know they can hardly
expect to succeed. So far they have
not succeeded in forming an alliance
with the military who, they say, have
imposed such conditions that the nego-
tiations have had to be broken off.
They put much faith in Weyler, but
he is simply waiting for his own chance
and will venture nothing unless abso-
lutely assured of success. The report
that Weyler has arrived at an under
standing with Marshal Campos is un-
true. They are not even on speaking
terms. The nation as a whole Is, how
ever, Indifferent to the struggles of par
ties, for 1t trusts none Of them.
But for the necessity of getting the
war credits voted in the cortes, Senor
Sagasta would have decreed the sus-
pension of the constitutional guaran-
tees, thus placing the whole country
under military jurisdiction.
Crisis Impending.
It is impossible that a crisis can be
STAYED off after the voting of the war
credits. Lieut.. Gen. Correa, the minis
ter of war; Admiral Bermejo, minister
of marine, and Senor Moret, minister of
the colonies, will have to be sacrificed
for the sins of their predecessors in
failing to prepare for war, while Senor
Gullon, the foreign minister, will be
sacrificed for his predecessors neglect
to check American diplomacy and form
European alliances.
New Cabinet Probable.
The queen regent consulted, late this
afternoon, with Senior Montero Rios,
president of the senate, who advises
q reconstruction Of the cabinet.
1t is increasingly probable that the
cabinet will be reformed with Senor

Gamazo included, after the lower house
has adopted the indemnity bill.
The cabinet ministers have placed
their portfolios In the hands Of Senior
Sagasta, the premier, with the view
of a probable reconstruction of the
ministry.
Senior Sagasta denies the rumor that
Marshal Martinez Campos will replace
Lieut.. Gen. Daban as captain general
OF Madrid.
State of Siege.
A state of siege has been proclaimed
in Catalonia. Martial law. has been
proclaimed in Seville and Saragossa,
and will gradually be extended through
out the country. The most significant
fact Of the present moment is that the
military party is beginning to use its
undoubted strength.
Gen. La Chambre, who has lately re-
turned from the Philippines, convened
a meeting of the military members Of
the cortes, at which it was resolved to
accentuate their solidarity on all uues-
tions directly or indirectly connected
with the army, such action to be wholly
irrespective Of Independent politics.
AT future meetings they will invite
the cooperation of naval members of
the cortes, considering that there is q

AS two Democratic generals have

seems unable to keep up with the Dem
ocratic platform. Detroit Free Press.
The farm mortgages discharged in
this county in the year ending May
last amounted to SAG, $50 less than the
amount recorded during the same year,
and the number recorded was % less
than those discharged. Beside this
reduction in amount the rate of interest
on farm mortgages recorded was one
half of one per cent less than the rate
on those discharged, making the an
nual burden OF interest S4, 27S.5l less
than it was on May L. 1897. There
isn't much comfort in the calamity
bowler in this showing.
Three or four years ago people were
on every street corner crying hard
times; in fact, they had nothing else
to do. Business was at a standstill,
and for every job there were ten or
fifteen people. Now the scene has
changed. Everything is on the move,
and business men are rejoicing and
laboring men are happy. Mills and
factories are humming, and their capac-
ity is taxed to its utmost. Crops are
good and so are prices, and the farmer
is happy. Go where we will, east, west
north or south. and the same scene is
before us. During the recent panic
some men said business would never
revive under the gold standard, but it
has, and they are now silent. The
people have confidence in the govern
ment and confidence is one of the larg-
est boulders in the foundation of pros
perity.
