SPANIaR0S UPRISING
Against Proposed Financial Scheme and the
Government Is Highly Alarmed.

Madrid May 9.-The government is
seriously concerned in regard to the
opposition developed to its financial
projects. The feeling in Catalonia
especially is running high and has
taken the form of hostile dcmonstra-
tons against the minister of the in
iterior. who is now making a tour of
Barcelona and its environs.
A league against the governments
taxation schemes has been formed in
Madrid with the title National
Union," whose platform is refusal to
pay taxation and, as a protest. the
members of the union propose a gen.
eral closing of the stores in Madrid,
Thursday. The government realizes
the significance of the movement, and
fearing trouble from the attempts of
the union to coerce non-Sympathetic
storekeepers by closing their stores,
steps are being taken to protect the
storekeepers. Tomorrow. therefore, is
looked forward to with anxiety.
After a trial of their strength in
Madrid the leaguers intend to repeat
the demonstration in Barcelona, where
a fruitful field is offered by the strong
Catalonian Autonomist movement,
which is itself due to Madrid's taxa
ton policy. whereby prosperous Cata-
lonia is condemned to support the rest
of the country. The students in Bar
celora have even erected barbados in
the streets, which the police have had
to charge while gendarmes with
drawn swords have cleared the uni
versity.
All the commercial and workingmen's
union. even the employees of the horse
car lines. slaughter houses and cafes.
announce their intention of joining in
tomorrow's demonstration, and the
stores. etc, will close from noon until
5 p. NJ.
Arrangements have now been made
for a similar protest, tomorrow. at
Cadiz. Valencia. Toledo, Barcelona,
Saragossa and perhaps other towns.

Another chapter was enacted. Tues
day, in the suit of Daniel Cote against
the city of Biddeford to recover pay
as city marshal from 1893 up to the
present time, when a subpoena was is
sued for Chairman Banks of the police
commission, to produce the records of
the board since it's formation. The rec
ords show that Mr.. Cote was never re-
moved as city marshal, but that in
July, 1898, Charles i. Harmon, who is
acting as chief at the present time,
was elected to that office. Mr.. Cote
claims that as there is no record of his
removal he is still city marshal of
Biddeford, and is entitled to his salary
and fees during the past seven years.
The case. which will probably be tried
at the May term of the supreme court,
promises to be full of sensational Incl
dents. 1t is said that other suits are
to be brought by Mr.. Cote after this
one is settled.

with Captain Woodruff. although mill
tary etiquette forbids that he should

SAMPSON
Was Commanding Officer
In Santiago Battle.
Famous Controversy Settled by
Decision, Court OF Claims,

Washington, June 13.--(Spl. )--"Rea
Admiral w. I. Sampson, United
States navy, was the commander-in-
chief of the said United States naval
forces or feet. and Commodore w.
S. Schlcy, United States navy, was the
commanding officer of division or
squadron thereof, on duty under the
orders of said commander.in.ch
In these words the court of claims
has judiciously determined the famous
Sampson. .Schley controversy. They are
part of finding of fact in the de
cision of the court on the claims of
Rear Admiral Sampson and his men
for bounty on the destruction of the
Spanish squadron under Admiral Ger
vera,
The Spanish squadron is found to
have been inferior to the American
force and a bounty of 500 has there
fore been awarded for every officer
and man under Admiral Ceyera's com
mund. The total amount of bounty
allowed Is $l66,700, of which Real
Admiral Sampson will receive $685.
and Rear Admiral Schley about $1,000.
The court specifically declares that
the New York was among the vessels
engaged in the Santiago battle, which
Simpsons friends say finally disposed
of the claims advanced by Schley's
friends that the squadron engaged was
solely under the command of Schley,
The court also finds that the Har.
ward Resolutc and Fern formed n
part of the fleet under Sampson. Meth
or of these, the decision says, was en-
gagged in the destruction of the Spanish
vessels, but they were within signal
distance of the American fleet or the
flagship Of the commanding Office and
were able TO render effective aid If they
had been required TO do so, and are
entitled to share the bounty.
Thecourt refers TO the recent ruling
made In the ease Of Admiral Dewey,
affirmed by the Supreme court, that
the land batteries and torpedo boats
were not to be reckoned in determining
the force Of the Spanish vessels, which
made the Spanish force inferior to that
OF the United States.
