SPANS CESSION TO GERMANY
The Caroline, Marianne = Palos
aslands-The Queens Speech 10 the
COrfes.

Madrid, June 2.-The queen regent
opened the cortes today with the usual
ceremonial, and in the speech from the
throne announced that the Marianne,
Caroline and Palos islands were ceded
to Germany by the late Spanish cabi-
net. During the course of the speech,
her majesty said:
When peace with the United States
was concluded parliamentary troubles
caused a change of cabinet n the
present cabinet was formed. Under the
constitution it belonged to me to ratify
the treaty by laying it before the
chamber. There remained under our
control the Carolines, tine Palos and
most of the Marianne islands. But the
former cabinet believed it useless for
Spain to retain such minor apanages
of u ancient empire and signed with
the German emperor a convention Of
fering to e these territories, under
the law, which will be submitted i'm
mediately to the chamber.
The most important, most urgent and
most difficult task before you is to
balance the budget and liquidate the
debts resulting from the war through
ordinary n permanent sources of in
come. Thanks to the severely economic
policy projected, the government will
not ask fresh sacrifices of the coun-
try, except such as a be equitably
divided among all classes"
Washington, June 1.-The announce
ment at Madrid in the speech from
the throne to the cortes that Spain had
ceded the Caroline islands and Palos
and the M~ariannos was received with
surprise here. The cession marks the
REIMBURSEMENT of Spanish possessions
in the far east, save the island Of Fer
nando Pc and the dependencies on the
African coast.
The dispatch containing the news was
shown to the German embassy Off
Gals tonight, but Ambassador Won
Holleben said that he had no comments
to make.
Reports have been current from time
to time that Spain vas figuring on a
transfer of sovereignty of the Caro-
lines and that Germany had made over
lures looking to their acquisition in
the extension of her colonial posses
ions.

Columbus. O.. June 1.-The republi-
can state convention nominaed Judge
George N. Nash, the favoljte OF Sen
ator Hanna, for governor on the Sec
ond ballot, and ex-Congressman John
A. Caldwell, the favorite of George B.
Cox, for lieutenant governor, with the
other five nominations distributed
among those of less distinct party af-
filiations.
What was generally called the Han
na-Cox combination controlled a large
majority of the S13 delegates, but it
did not exercise its power beyond the
nominations of Nash and Caldwell.
The conference at which Senator Han
IA, Mr.. Cox and others reached a mu-
tually salts flctory understanding did
not conclude until 9 o'clock a. m. an
hour before the convention assembled.
It was all over then with Mr.. Daugher-
~ and other candidates.
Guilbert and Huffman for auditor and
member of board Of public works, were
nominated without opposition.
r When some of the delegates raised
the cry Of SLATE" George B. Cox him
self was the first to break the slate by
changing the eighty-six votes of Ham
ilton county, which he had cast on the
first and second ballots for Judge Hull,
for attorney general, to James NJ.
Sheets. The only other places in which
the slate was broken was in the nomi-
nation for supreme judge. The incum-
bent, Judge Bradbury, was a candidate
for a third term, and he was opposed
On that ground as we'll as on the cry of
''slate."
Judge Bradbury, State Treasurer
Campbell and Attorney General Mon
nett were all candidates for the nomi-
nation for third terms and all were de-
feated.
Outside of the unusually animated
contests for the nominations, the fea-
ture Of the convention was it's univer-
sal endorsement of President Mckinley.
When the plank in the platform com
mending the president for the judicious
notifications of the civil service rules,
recently promulgated" was read there
was a very enthusiastic demonstration.
In presenting the name of Mr..
Daugherty, MI. Holcomme, of Cleve-
land, said he hoped the convention
would tolerate no dictation; and when
Mr., Daugherty was called out, after
-ne nomination Of Judge Nash, the de-
feated candidate said among other
things that he hoped he would at least
be allowed to live as a private citizen
in the republican ranks.
All contests had been settled salts
factorily by the committees. The Nc

Preparation for Dreyfus, Return


London, June 3.-The Daily Chronicle
says that Major Comte Ferdinand Es-
terhazey called at it's office last even
ing Friday) with a confidential friend,
and, after declaring that the time had
arrived when the whole truth should be
told, although hitherto, by reason of
constant orders and inducements, he
had kept silence on the essential point,
made the following statement:
THE chiefs of the army have dis
gracefully abandoned me. My cup is
full and 1 shall speak out. Yes, (rais-
ing his voice and glazing around), it
was l who wrote the bordereau. I
wrote it upon orders received from
Sanherr."
~Esterhazey, The Chronicle says, then
proceeded to explain hat for months
before 1893 moral proofs had been OBJ
tanned of leakages which were only
possible through officers belonging to
the ministry Of war; and it was neces-
sary to catch the guilty party by ma
.terial. evidence. Hence the bordereau.
When asked What the chiefs of the
French general staff would say to this
confession, EstehaZey, struggling his
shoulders, disdainfully replied: They
will lie as they know how to lie; but l
have them tight. 1 have proofs tina
they knew the whole thing and share
the responsibility with me, and 1 will
produce the proofs"
He then denounced the chiefs as a
set of scoundrels who have abandond-
ed me basely."
Esterhazey asserted that, quite re-
Gently, the chiefs sent M. Laguerre,
a former deputy, to London with Sc

AGU1NALDo's INTENTIONS.
Conflicting Statements Concerning
Plans OF Filipino Leaders.

London, Feb. "a representative of
the Associated Press saw the represen-
tative in London of Aguinaldo this
evening. He did not express surprise
at the news from the Philippine
islands, but declared than the Fiipinos
at Manila were suspicious of the atti-
tude of the United States and had
formed the opinion that IL was better
to fight before the Americans were re-
inforced.
The representative added that
Mabini. the head of the Filipino
cabinet, and his colleagues, were con-
WINGED that if the Americans We're
beaten now. public opinion in the
United States would insist upon the
maintenance of Filipinos independ-
ance."
Washington, Feb. 5.-Dr. Juan Luna,
a member of the Filipino junta here,
in an interview with an Associated
Press representative tonight, dis
credited the statement eme mating from
Aguinaldo's London representative. He
said he had received a cablegram from
Aguinaldo last night, stating that he
was awaiting the action of the United
States senate on the treaty of peace
and that the Filipinos would make no
move until action had been taken. The
message. he said, was dated Malolos.

AeoNcILLo's FLIGHT.
Filipino Agent Seeks Refuge On
Canadian Sail.

New York. Feb. ga dispatch to the
Herald from Albany, n. Y, says Agon-
clio. representative of the Filipino
junta in this country, passed through
that city tonight, en- route for Can
ada.
According to information received by
the correspondent of the Herald, the
United States government has no in
tention of arrestinS Agoncillo, and will
allow him to proceed across the Cana
dian line.
Agoncillo says that he has been I'M
able TO communicate with Aguinaldo,
owing to the strict censorship exer-
cised by the United States authorities,
and thinks that it is his duty. under the
circumstances, to place himself beyond
its jurisdiction, so that he will be able
to communicate with his home people.
He says he knows nothing of a battle
having taken place. and thinks it pos
sible that no such event has taken
place, although he adds that il is pos
sible that something of the kind has
occurred, He condemns the action of
the United States government in re-
fusing him permission to communicate
with his home government. He says
he is not going to Canada for the pur-
pose of avoiding arrest. He seems, ac-
cording to the correspondent of the
Herald, to be nervous, and anxious TO
place himself beyond the confines of
this country as soon as possible.

siderable mystery regarding the
