POLITICAL CRISIS IN SPAIN.
Brought to n Stnndstill by the Illness O,
 Sagastn.


 London, Dec. 26.-The Madrid corre- spondent of the Standard says: Senor Sagasta's illness has brought to a stand still the political crisis and the negoti- ations for the reorganization of the lib- eral party. Many liberals are opposed to General Weyler's becoming minister of war, because they fear he will aspire to succeed Sagasta as leader of the par ty.
 Fl Liberal publishes an interview with Weyler in the course of which he is represented as declining to give any information regarding the crisis, but as insisting upon the necessity for a strong government Such a government could not, he said, be drawn from the party led by Senor Silvela. General Weyler hinted that the country would run great risks unless power were plac- ed in the hands of a Sagasta- -Weyler coalition government. The Bank of Spain has ceased to make advances up- on Philippine and Cuban bonds and has asked a supplemental guarantee for previous advances owing to the decline in the value of the bonds. The govern ment has arranged with Madrid and Barcelona bankers to advance the amount needed for the service of these bonds in January.

Moses, at North Pembroke, on De- cember g, is still confined to the Merri- mac county jail and no date has been set for his preliminary hearing. He pro- tests his innocence. The government can prove that he was in the vicinity on the day before and the day after the murder. but no one has yet been found who saw him on December g, the day in question. He knew Mrs. Moses and one point in his favor is the fact that before her death she stated that her as- saiIant was a stranger.

ROBBERS ABOUT aUANrANAMo.
Existence of Bands Charged to be Due to
 Arming of Insurgents.

Existence of Bands Charged to be Due to
 Arming of Insurgents.
 Santiago de Cuba, Dec. 25.-Lieuten- ant Colonel Henry Ray, who had re- ported to General Wood, military gov-} ernor of the department, that Colonel Francisco Valiento chief of Gendarnn- erie, had been arming the insurgents and that several bands of robbers were op- erating in the neighborhood of Guam tanamo, arrived here to-day. He re- peats his charges against Colonel Vali-s ente. declaring that they are we'll founded. He admits that Colonel Vali- ente was the first Cuban officer who nominally disarmed his men, merely re- questing permission to guard the arms with squad of his own troops. This request was granted by Major Harris, representing Lieutenant Colonel Ray Sagua de Tanamo, Major Harris even promising to supply rations to the guard. According to Colonel Ray, Vali- ente before starting for Santiago, turn ed over to several Cuban captains the 600 rifles that were stacked by his men when they were disarmed. This fact was only recently reported to Colonel Ray The latter on arriving here saw Colonel Valiente and repeated his ac-s cusations. Valiente declared that he had not armed the Cubans, but had merely given the rifles into the charge of the various officers
 Colonel Ray claims that this explains the existence, of the troublesome bands of robbers who have infested the dis trlct around Guantanamo. In one case Cuban major went so far as to order the proprietors of sugar estate not to grind. Colonel Ray sent company of United States troops to guard the es- tate, whereupon the Cuban major took to the woods with band of men who have ever since been robbing and pill laging estates near by. As a result of this condition of things Colonel Rays entire regiment, with the exception oE two companies, is now scattered about the country guarding private property. Colonel Ray says he has the names of several prominent Cubans who have censured Valiente for turning his arms. Valiente replied that he had the arms under guard and would keep them safe until it was seen what the United States would do. Moreover, Colonel Ray insists that the Cuban police, who were sent by Colonel Valiente to cap-A ture the chief bandit, were worthless and proved dishonest, as they allowed the robber to sleep undisturbed in the next house to the one where they were. Tomorrow Colonel Ray will return to Guantanamo. He intends to mount some of his men and to capture the rob- Der chief. Meanwhile, except on the guarded estates, work in his district is practically at a standstill.
