SPANISH 1ADmoNE ISLANDS.



Washington, June 10.-The statement
from San Francisco that the real OBJ
ject of the Charleston's voyage was the
seizure of the Spanish Ladrone islands,
has some small basis of truth in it.
When it was decided to send the mon
itors Monterey and Monadnock from
Mare Island to Manila it was known
that this could not be done without
sending along Golfers because of the
insufficient coal supply of the monitors.
1t was not deemed practicable to tow
the big ironclads the four thousand
miles that they would have to go with
out coaling so it became necessary to
find places in the Pacific where they
could replenish their bunkers. There
are several groups of islands lying be-
tween Hawaii and the Philippines
which might afford a harbor in which
monitors and fill up their coal bunkers.
The officials do not deem it prudent
to name the particular Islands chosen
for the purpose, but it is obvious that
being barred by neutrality laws from
the possessions of neutral countries,
the recourse of the navy department
would be to some of the Spanish is
lands such as the Ladrones or the Car
olines. Therefore it is assumed that If
the Charleston really goes to one Of
the former islands it will be with the
purpose of securing in advance a suit
able harbor for the use of the monitors.

THE POPULIST PARTY.
Fight of sfFusionists' and "Roaders''
for Ascendency Means Disruption.

for Ascendency Means Disruption.
Boston, June 10.-George f. Wash
burn, chairman of the national exec
utive committe of the populist party,
has sent letter to other committee
calling attention to the Determined
contest between the ''fusionists" and
"roaders" for ascendancy. Either side
to dominate will mean the disruption
of the party. This is a crisis that calls
for the best judgment our leaders pos
sess. Our safest and ablest men should
be at Omaha June 49," He also urges
the forwarding of proxies by mail or
telegraph if the delegates are unable to
attend. He further says: "Our first
duty is to the party as q whole, rather
than to any faction of it. We must
reconcile, not embitter; unite rather
than divide
A call has also been issued to the
populist senators, congressman, gov
ernors and the state chairman and sec
retaries to attend the meeting giving
them the privilege of the floor to ex-
press their opinion and service, but
they will have no vote. Mr.. Washburn,
just before leaving for Omaha tonight
gave an interview to the Associated
| Press in which he said regarding the
convention: II believe the contest be-
tween the fusionists' and the readers
will be very spirited and that in all
probability a call will be issued from
Omaha by the middle-o e-of-the-roaders
| for a national convention to be held
about July 4. If they succeed in Sc
curing control of the party machinery
| they will probably Issue the call
| through that channel. If they fail to
! gain the ascendancy I believe the or
ganization committee will meet after
| the convention and issue another call"

HAW4IIAN ANNExATTON.
House Agrees to Take Vote Next Wednes-
day Afternoon.


Washington, June 10.--The feature of
to-day's session of the house was the
securing of an agreement to consider
and vote upon the Newlands resolution
to annex Hawaii. Beginning to-mor-
row, the debate will proceed until five
O'clock next Wednesday afternoon,
when vote will be taken. The annex
ationists came to-day determined to
force consideration and for three hours
the opposition filibustered. Considera-
tion of the resolutions to-day could
have been prevented, as under the rules
a recess until the evening pension ses-
sion necessarily would have been taken
at o'clock, but it was plain that the
annexationists would win their victory.
Realizing this, and knowing that the
resolutions would pass and go to the
country, involving prominent issue,
the opposition treated for liberal debate
and their demands were granted read
lily The bill to enable volunteer SOL
diers to vote at congressional elections
was passed and numksr Of minor
measures, chiefly of a private nature,
were considered. Eight democrats vot-
ed with the annexationists in the move
ment to-day to force consideration of
the resolutions, they being Messrs.
Barry, DeVries, Livingston, Brucker,
Cummings, Suffer- Veslage and Coch-
rane Of Missouri.

CRISIS IN SPAIN.
Reports From Vienna Say There is No
Doubt One Exists.

London, June 1.-THE Vienna corre-
spondent of the Daily Telegraph says:
Authentic reports have been received
here that the situation in Madrid is ad-
yancing with the greatest activity.
There is no doubt that a crisis exists.
Spain will entreat the intervention Of
the powers almost Immediately and
confidential inquiries in this sense have
already been made here. A rumor cir
culated here this evening that a revo-
luton had broken out in Madrid is not
confirmed. But very noticeable is the
movement of the Carlists whom Don
Carlos has summoned to a conference
at Brussels. 1t is said by those who
are in the encourage of the pretender
that soc great action is on the eve OF
being taken.

STATE NOMAL sOHOOE.
Principal Morrill, Speaks Upon "work
of the Model Schools.o


There was large attendance of pa
rents and friends at the meeting at the
normal school, corner of Howe and Oak
streets, last evening. After a short
musical programme by the students of
the school Principal Morrill, spoke upon
the Work of the Model Schools He
said In part:
1T has been part of our purpose to
invite those interested in the school to
meet and inspect our work. The ques-
tion Is naturally asked, What are we
doing in the way of education? In an
swering tonight must omit their use
as schools of observation. We pursue
such subjects as call for drill and prac-
tice, which require the pupil to be do
ing something. In this group will in
clude arithmetic writing and spelling.
We are all called upon to do these
things in life Therefore we must in
sist upon the practice Of these while the
child in school
'In the past we studied the science of
arithmetic, and very little attention
was paid to the demands Of life. How
many people ever have to find the cube
root of a number after leaving school?
The art of expressing the English lam
guage was never learned through pars-
ing and the study of grammar.
when we come to the consideration
Of drawing as a part of the study in
the public schools the question occurs
as to whether it Is worth while. We
consider it as another mode Of express
sion, very valuable and economical"

DESTINATION or NAvAL MILITIA
They VIII First be Taken on II eceiving q
Ship Wabash.


Camp Haven, United States Military
Post, Mantle, Conn, June 10.-If the
rapidity with which the men of the
Naval Reserves have been examined to-
day can be continued throughout to-
morrow there is every possibility that
the sailors will be mustered In before
next Monday night. To-day forty-one
men of the second division were exam
ined and all passed. Surgeon Sayre
stated that the second division men
thus far examined were in splendid
condition and an exceptionally fine lot
Of men.
An official announcement was made
this afternoon that the immediate des-
tination of the men after leaving here
would be the receiving ship Wabash,
now in Boston harbor. Four officers
will be detailed to accompany them and
the remaining officers will be sent
home. There will undoubtedly be some
dsappointments to both the enlisted
men and officers, as instead of the bat
talon being kept intact the men will be
sent in squads here and there wherever
needed. The mosquito fleet which it
was thought would need the services of
the reserves for coast defences is being
disbanded instead of being increased.
Four officers have taken the examina-
tions, as follows: Lieutenant Comman-
der Day, Lieutenant Reynolds, Lieu
tenant Goodridge and Lieutenant Park
er.
The members of the first division hav-
ing completed their examinations, have
received shore liberty and are now WIS.,
iting home. Very little attention is
yet given to drills. This morning the
two divisions and the engineers bat
TALON were given an hours practice in
company movements and marching,
while this afternoon the signal men
spent short time wig-wagging with
the flags.

VAR RETENUE MEASURE.
The Senate Passes 1t After Four Hours
of Discussion.

Washington, June 10.-shortly after
o'clock this afternoon the conference
report on the war revenue measure was
agreed to by the senate after discus
upon the measure was without special
incident and was entirely devoid Of
acrimonious features. It was a fore
gone conclusion that the report would
be agreed to and the only question
Of interest involved was how soon a
vote could be reached. The debate in
dicated generally that the bill as
agreed upon by the conferees was rea-
sonably satisfactory to everybody ex-
cept as to the bond provision. The
votes cast against the adoption of the
report reflected the opinions Of those
senators who are opposed to any in
crease in the interest bearing lebt Of
the country.
The report was agreed to by the vote
of 43 to %. Every republican voted for
the measure and their votes were sup
plemepted by those of eight democrats,
one silver republican and one indepen-
dent. The democrats who voted for it
We're Caffery, German, Lindsay, Mitch
ell, Morgan, Murphy and Turpie. The
silver republican was Mantle, and the
independent was Kyle. The vote
against the report was cast by sixteen
democrats, three silver republicans
and three populists. AS soon as the
engrossed bill can be signed by the pre-
siding officers Of the two branches of
congress it will be sent to the presi-
dent.
Just at the close of the session bit
ter personal discussion was precipitat-
ed by Mr.. Butler, pop, of North Caro-
lima, who attacked Mr.. Kyle for having
voted for the issuance of bonds. Mr..
Butler as chairman of the populist ma
tional committee declared that Mr..
Kyle did not represent the populist
party Mr.. Kyle replied warmly say
ing that ne was responsible for his po-
litical actions not to Mr.. Butler hut
to his conscience and to his constitu-
ents. Subsequently he denounced as
Intentional and malicious falsehood''
some statements bade about him by
Mr.. Pettisrew.

PAEAGUAY's NEUTRALITY.
Government Requested to Maintain It
Chill and Argentina.

Buenos Ayres, Argentina, June fe.-
The American consul has requested the
government of Paraguay to maintain
neutrality during the war between
Spain and the United States by fixing
time for the Spanish torpedo gUnboat
Temerario to leave Paraguayan waters
or by insisting upon the disarmament
of the Spanish warship. The day after
tomorrow a meeting of the electors
will be held, at which General Roca
will be appointed president and DR..
Quirno Costa will be appointed vice
president. The minority favors Gener-
al Mitre for president in succession to
Senior Uriburu. The relations between
Chill and Argentina are unchanged and
many people fear war will break out
next spring. The government of the
Argentine republic is preparing for all
emergencies, although hoping peace
will be maintained.

CONTINUE TO BE DISCUSSED II
DIPLOMATIC CIRCLES.

Austria Apparently Not Ready to Act
Her Ambassador to Leave for New
London Next Week-One Prominent
Ambassador Says: "There VIII be No
Offer of Mediation From Outside
Such Movement, If it Comes at All,
Should Come ut Suggestion of the
United States.''
Washington, June 10.--Reports from
Madrid that Spain, through the minis
ter of foreign affairs Count Almadovar
DeRio, had taken formal steps toward
securing peace, have not been made ap-
parent by any action in Washington up
to this time. There has been no propo-
sition for peace or for an armistice, nor
has there even been an entering wedge
of inquiry as to how such a proposition
would be accepted. The Madrid re-
ports stated that the Spanish ambas-
sador to Austria had been instructed
to seek the good offices Of Austria in
bringing forward the peace proposition.
But, if this be true the Austrian minis
ter, Won Hengel Muller, has not con-
veyed to the state department any in
dications that Austria is ready to act.
On the contrary, Won Hengel Muller
does not appear to think that his SER
vices will be required here in the near
future as he leaves next Tuesday for
New London, Conn, taking his official
staff for a summers vacation.
At the same time the prospects Of
peace continue to be discussed in di-
plomatic circles, and it is known that
at least one Of the great powers stands
ready to act as peace mediator in case
tion that such a movement would not
meet with disfavor. One of the most
influential members of the diplomatic
corps, the ambassador of a continental
power, said tonight concerning peace
possibilities:
There will be no offer of mediation
from outside. Such a movement, if it
comes at all, should come at the sug-
gestion of the United States that it
would be acceptable. Yet your govern
ment intimate that it would be willing
to discuss the terms on which peace
could be restored, and I feel sure that
at least one government of Europe will
be ready to meet this suggestion and
do it's utmost in a spirit friendly for
both opposing nations towards putting
an end to the present conflict and
bringing them together on basis hon
orable TO both. Until that is done, rest
assured that these reports Of peace Of
fers are not to be credited, for in the
light Of experience, foreign govern
ments win not invite the United States
to course Of action until first assured
that it is the course which this country
itself desires to have taken"
This view was repeated by other
members of the diplomatic corps and
may be taken as fairly rejecting the
views entertained by the foreign repre-
sentatives here. With this hesitation
on the part Of the foreign powers as to
making the first overture, and with nc
indication that the authorities here
would invite or entertain such over
lures, the chances of a peace settle
ment seem remote, despite the talk in
that direction from abroad.

serious task. This plucky gunboat has

A dispatch just received from Fort
Monroe says: Intense excitement was
caused at Fort Monroe last night

cruisers and a torpedo boat had been
caught under the searchilght at Cape
Henry, steaning from northerly d.
rection.
AS soon as it was reported that the
enemys warships had been sighted
there was great activity at the fort.
The big searchlight began to sweep the
bay and signals were flashed to the
cruiser Minneapolis, the auxiliary
cruiser Dixie and the dynamite cruiser
Buffalo, which are anchored off Old
Point. Quarters were sounded and the

Victory Over Greece.

Victory Over Greece.
st. Petersburg, June 10.-The report
of an unexpected attack by thousand
natives on a Russian post garrisoned
by three hundred infantry at Andijan,
Ferghana province, Turkestan, is con-
firmed. The uprising, in which twenty
soldiers were killed and as many more
were wounded, was of purely religious
origin and due to the intrigues of the
Mussulman priesthood, who, excited by
Turkeys victory over Greece, promoted
the outbreak with the most serious re-
verses to the Russian arms sustained
in Central Asia in many years. The
leader of the band, high Mussulman
priest, has confessed to a secret UNDER
standing with high officials at Constan-
tinople and admits that the uprising
was intended to be general in the prov
ince Of Ferghana.
