Madrid. May IS. via Paris.-An ex-
traordinary meeting Of the cabinet
was called yesterday evening immedi-
ately upon receipt Of news OF the sink
ing of the Spanish steamer Patricio, Of
$500 tons. The accounts stated that the
crew was saved but that one sailor
was seriously wounded.
The government authorities were ex-
tremely reserved as to the result Of
their two-hour elaboration on the
case but 1t Is supposed that the cab
met decided to send another note Of
the most energetic character to Ger

A violent clash between Franco
philes and Germanophiles occurred
here last evening As the outcome Of
arguments over the Spanish note to
Germany and Germany's reply con.
corning the sinking Of the Spanish

Washington. May 1S.-The Presi-
dents statement regarding the Roose-
welt volunteer expedition follows:
Il shall not avail myself. at any
rate at the present stage of the war,
of the authorization conferred by the
act to organize volunteer divisions. To
do SO would seriously interfere with
the carrying out OF the chief and most
Immediately important purpose con-
templated by this legislation, the
prompt creation and early use of an
Elective army and would contribute
practically nothing against Germany.
II understand that the section of
this act which authorizes the creation
OF volunteer divisions in addition to
the draft was added with a view to
providing an independent command for
Mr.. Roosevelt and giving the military
authority an opportunity to use his
fine vigor and enthusiasm in recruit
ing the forces now at the western
front.
1T would be very agreeable to me
to pay Mr.. Roosevelt this compliment
and the allies the compliment OF send
ing to their aid one OF our most dis
tinguished public men. an ex-President
who has rendered many conspicuous
public services and proved his gallant
~ in many striking ways.
POLITICALLY, too. it would no doubt have
very fine effect and make a profound
impression. But this is not the time or
the occasion for compliment or for any
action not calculated to contribute to the
immediate success OF the war. The bust
ness now in hand is undramatic practi-
cal and OF scientific dehniteness and pre-
cision. / shall act with regard to it at

Locally there were no new develop
ments in the strike situation on Friday.
There was the usual meeting in the aft
ernoon which was largely attended and
at which the entertainment consisted of
number of banjo solos by frankie
Morrill, and songs by John Simpson.
There was the usual harmony. all being
determined to stick it out IL the walk
out lasted all summer. The committee
OF the local men came back from Port
land Friday morning on Train II and
were Immediately called back to Port
land and were still there after the ar
rival ofthe evening trains Friday night.
From apparently reliable sources it
was learned Friday that over 20 empty
freight cars and about SO loaded cars
are now in the Waterville yards wait
ing to be repaired. This is in addition
to the cars which are being sent out on
the road which would ordinarily go to
the shops for minor repairs but which
are now sent along to work. All day
Friday at least q large crew Of track
men were kept busy unloading cars
which could not be sent further with
out repairs and which would ordinarily
be repaired while loaded and sent along,
and putting the stuff into other cars
which could be used. 1t was estimated
by a man familiar with conditions that
this was costing the stockholders OF the
road about $40 per car. 1t was also re-
ported on good authority Friday that
two engines were hauled to the city
from over Bangor way which were
dead" and they were put in the round
house here but of course cannot be re-
paired until the walkout is over 40
there is no one to repair them. The
men are feeling very hopeful that they
will not have to stay out great deal
longer and chat Manager Mcdonald will
be forced. to meet the demands which
they have made and which they consid-
er are very reasonable.
