THREATENS REVOLUTION.
Weyler Says 1t Sometimes Clears the
Political Atmosphere.

Madrid, July 26.-The discussion of
the army bill in the senate to-day led
to an exciting scene. General Wey-
Ter, arguing against any reduction Of
the strength Of the army, warmed the
government that the present situation
made a revolution highly probable
since 1t had never been so easy for the
army and the people to make COM
mon cause. He himself had never
thought of heading a rising, but 1t
must be confessed that revolution
sometimes cleared the political atnos-
phere and accomplished the work OF
regeneration.
Senior Dato, minister of the inte-
rior, replying, savagely censured Gem
eral Weyler, declaring that general
who. with 100000 men, had failed to
suppress the Cuban rebellion, had no
right to make such threats, and that
any attempt at revolution, no matter
by whom would be proceeded against
with the utmost rigor of the law.
The senators warmly applauded Sc
nor Dato's speech. The army bill was
adODted

AR0USING PREJUDICE.
Infiaming the People OF Nicaragua
Against the United States.

Against the United states.
Correspondence of the Associated Press
Managua, Nicaragua, July 26.-The
official and semi official newspapers in
Nicaragua contain columns daily witt
ten to excite the people against the
government and people of the United
States, declaring that the United States
desires to subjugate them TO it's au-
thorty. to annex Nicaragua" and
that the United States authorities paid
no attention to the blucEade and clos
ing of the port of Bluefields. Nicaragua,
by the government of Nicaragua, in
February, 1899.
The true cause of this effort to create
prejudice on the part of the people
against the government and citizens
of the United States is that Nicaragua
recently endeavored, and in few in
stances successfully, by threats, to
force citizens of the United States en-
gagged in merchandising at Bluefields
during the revolution there in Febru-
airy last, to pay duties twice on the
same invoices at the ports. This was
checked by the prompt interference of
the United States government. which
has demanded the return of the money
collected the second time.

winter from scurvy. He could only re-
call one name, T. Mcdonald. He says
the number of lives lost on the trail
cannot be estimated.

NO. STOCK IN IT.
The Rumored Transcontinental System
Is Not Practical.

Seattle, July 26.-Henry Willard, the
well known railroad man, does not
take much stock in the rumored Har-
riman- Vanderbilt tranScontinental
lines. He said to-day:
ut is not practical and there are
many legal and business complica-
tions that would hinder it. Mr.. Har-
riman is himself identified as an Off
Ger of several of the lines, and many
others are stockholders in two or more.
AS a Consequence, they are now work
ing on a friendly basis, and probably
will continue to do so. Thus it can
be seen that there is no necessity for a
reorganization as a transcontinental
system i do not believe 1t will ever
appear"
