Madrid. June 4. - The queen regent
opened the cortes yesterday With the
usual ceremonial. and i'll til" speech
from the throne announced that the
Marianne. Caroline and Palaos islands
were coded to Germany by the late
Spanish cabinet. During the course of
tht~Speech her majesty Said
AT the opening of the cOrtcS all the
SORROWS that hoy" wrcnched our
hearts through the disasters which
have visited our country are reawak-
ened.. We must preserve sadness in
order to derive experience thorefrOm.
but the woes of our country are Of
such Il nature that reticenCe and
silence avail better than complaints.
When peace with the United States
was concluded parliamentary troubles
caused a change of cabinet and 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 Carolnes, Paolas and
most of the Marianne islands. But the
former cabinet believed it useless for
Spain to retain such minor appendages
of our Orient empire and signed with
the German emperor Il convention OF
right to cede these territories under the
law which would be submitted immedi-
ately to the chamber. Our foreign re-
latiorS are cordial and friendly. We
specially owe to the pope recognition
for the many times he has given us his
moral support. The most important.
most urgent and most difficult task be-
fore you is to balance the budget and
EQuidate the debts resulting from the
war through ordinary and permanent
sources of income"
Surprise at Washin ston.
Washington. June 3.-The announce
ment at Madrid in the speech from the
throne TO the cortes that Spain had

in the far East save the island of Fer
nando Pc and dependencies on the
African coast. The dispatch concern
ing the news WAS shown TO the Ger
man embassy officials. but Ambassador
Won Holleben said that he had received
no information as /" the cesSion, re-
ports having been current from time to
tine that Spain WAS figuring on a
transfer of sovereignty Of the Carolines
aud that Germany had made ovcrtures
looking to their acquisition to her
colonial possessions.

GEN. OTIS FORCES.

No Call For Volunteers.

No Call For volunteers.
Washington, June 2.-The president
declared to a congressional caller that
there was not at present any contem-

Otis which Indicated the necessity for
more troops beyond the regulars who
are to be sent to relieve the retiring
volunteers. But the president added

sary they would be promptly fur
nished. A number Of governors Of

belief that the necessity for mastering
in additional volunteers in accordance
with the authority granted by the
army reorganization bill, would not be
felt.
