TWO CENTS. -- eX REVOLUTION NOW IS THREATE It Is Now Certain That the Spanish Dynasty Is Nearing the End Scenes of Wild Disorder in the Lower House of Parliament Sa- gasta Insulted by Republicans and Carlists While Addressing the Assembly. Madrid, May 3. The floors and gal-' lerles of the congress (lower house) were crowded it today's sitting nnd some lively scenes ensued. Senor Sal merlon said that before questioning the government the house ought to pay Its tribute of ndmlratlon to Spain's heroic sailors nt Cavlte, adding "when It has been ascertained how much blood has been shed, and how much money expended, It will be necessary to establish the responsibility attach ing to the crown, as well as to the least citizen." Murmurs of protest followed this re mark. Tho president of the chamber called Senor Salmerlon to order and directed his attention to the article of the constitution declaring the Invio lability of the crown. Senor Salmerlon continued, demanding information as lo the defenses In Manila bay, and In sisting that this question should bo discussed after the government had given its explanations. He proceeded to criticise the monarchical govern ments of the last half century, not ably that of the restoration, declaring that they were responsible for tho present situation. Senor Silvia interposed: "We are now threatened with an impotent dic tatorship Inspired by tho genius of the disciples of Loyalo," a remark which provoked protests from the Conserva tive benches. Senor Salmeilon renewed his de mands for an explanation of the cause MARTIAL LAW AT OLD MADRID The Proclamation Camis Much . satisfaction. Dli. IT IS DECLARED TO HAVE BEEN UN NECESSARY UNLESS THE GOVERN MENT HAS INFORMATION CON CERNING A CONSPIRACY-NEWSPAPERS ARE PARTICULARLY DIS CONTENTED WITH THE STATE OF AFFAIRS. Madrid, May 3. The proclamation ot martial law has caused much dissatis faction, It being declared unnecessary, unless the government has information of secret conspiracy. Sunday's demon stration was trivial, even compared with the trilling disturbances upon the occasion of the proclamation of the Cuban armistice. The newspapers are particularly discontented with the sta,te of affairs existing, as the mere men tion of military operations is punish able severely. Groups of people which gather around the spots where the martial law procln. motion is posted, promptly disperse, laughing when they read the article prohibiting public gatherings. All Interest Is now centered In tho debates in the cortes. Tin' proclamation Is couched In war like language, beginning: Whereas. Spain, thidlng herself at war. with the United States, the pow er of the civil authorities In Spain is suspended. Whereas, It Is necessary to prevent any Impairment uf tho patriotic cr forts which are being made by the na tion with manly energy and veritable enthusiasm: Article J. A state of siege In Madrid Is hereby proclaimed. Arttclu 2. As n conscqucncn of ar ticle 1, all offenses r.galnst public or der, those of the press Included, will be tried by the military tribunals. Article 3, In article 2 are Included offenses committed by those who, without special authorization, shall publish news relative to any opera tions of war whatsoever. Then follow the articles which pro hibit public meetings and public dem onstrations. KNOLISH PUBLIC SENTIMENT. Pro-.Speiiilsli Peeling Among Itomnn Cnlliolln ArlHtocracy. London, May a. The question as to whether British sympathy is really with America Is still agitating those who are chlelly Interested In estab lishing a good understanding between the two nations. Mr. Alfred Harms worth, who personally und through his papers, has been doing the most ef ficient work In this direction, Is con vinced that a large majority of the people of the United Kingdom nre un reservedly In sympathy with the Unit ed States. He bases his conviction on n, careful canvass of the country, which he has Just hud completed. It shows that Scotland Is practically solid for America. Ireland, except In tho north, is hostile to America. Of the merchants, shippers, nnd business ,nen generally, 30 per cent, are keenly American, 35 per cunt, aro neutral, and S5 per cent, are ugalnst war unywhoro. i.'H non-conformists aro solidly pro- for the reverse the fleet hnd sustained. Just at this moment General Weyler entered the chnmber and seated him self between the Republican and Car lists groups. Salmerion continued deploring the unpatriotic attitude of the Conserva tives and attributing the "country's Ills to the worn out regime under which we live." He concluded: "We expend millions to maintain the monarchy, but have not enough to buy ironclads. Who ever will destroy tho existing regime will be a great pa triot." This declaration was received with loud Conservative protests. SAGASTA'S REPLY. Senor Sngusta made a determined re ply, which was loudly applauded by a large majority of the chamber, llc began by deploring the fact that the Spaniards were not united "In the present circumstances when the coun try Is Involved In a war force.l upon It." If It we're ever criminal to attack the fatherland, he said, It was surely more so now. Eulogizing the men who had fallen In battle, he declared, It Is imperative that Spaniards should show themselves energetic, and he ap pealed to all parties to unite. He begged the chamber to adopt the neces sary war credit. "I ask It," he said, "in the name of the soldiers and in the name of the fatherland." The Republicans and Carlists greeted Senor Sngasta. with angry denuncia tions, shaking their lists and giving American, while 90 per cent, of the Roman Catholics are pro-Spanish, in all cases, according to the figures col lected. The British aristocracy, aside from the' Catholics, is evenly divided, while the Jews are opposed to America. On the subject of Catholic opposition to America, the Dally Mall, In an ar ticle printed today, says: "It Is largely due to distinguished members of the Roman Catholic aris tocracy and to the Catholic prelacy of tho United Kingdom and Ireland that a slight sympathy for Spain has been worked up during the past few days. The priests and people alike are Intent on showing their Interest In the coun try which Is a firmer stronghold of the church than Italy, and great efforts are making to influence the trend of public opinion. Tills fact, and the strong Irish feeling, explains why so few Nationalist members of the house of commons have spoken publicly in favor of the United States, Messrs. Redmond and Dillon have spoken; but the latter was Immediately attacked by the probably most widely circulated Catholic organ in Englund, the Catho lic Times." REWARD FOR COMMODORE DEWEY Ho In to He Made nn Admiral in Recognition of Hi Valor. Washington, May 3. Secretary Long announced today that as soon us tho department received an olflclal report from Commodore Dewey confirming the press accounts of his victory In the battle of Manila, a cablegram would be sent to him congratulating him on tho splendid performance of the Amer ican fleet under his command. "More over," said the secretary, "as soon as the necessary confirmation Is at hand, Commodore Dewey will be made an ad miral In recognition of his valor." That Is to b accomplished Immedi ately by an executive order designating him uctlng ndmlrnl, Just as was done In the case of Captain Sampson. Later on he probably will be nominated to the senate In the usual course of pro motion to tho rank of admiral. WEYLER OFFERS OPINIONS. lie Assorts That tliu Spanish Navy I Superior to the United States. Madrid, May 3. (noon). An article written by General Weyler has appear ed In a newspaper at Pnlma, capital of the Island of Majorca, where the gen eral was born and where his home Is situated. The general says that If the government had been prepared, Spain would now be covered with glory. Continuing. General Weyler asserts that "the Spanish army and navy aio superior In discipline to the Yankees, whose lack of discipline was manifest ed In the loss of the Malno." General Weyler then accuses the Spanish government of weakness, and concludes with making pessimistic pre dictions regarding the future. Armv Concentration Point. Washington, May 3. Chlckamauga and Washington have been absolutely decided on as volunteer urmy concentration points. At least one other enstern point will ho chosen, probably cither In Now York or Pennsylvania. II nn r Adv.iniMM' Chicago, May 3. The Brewers' associa tion of Chicago has udvunced the prio of bcor to Jj per barrel. other marks of disapproval, while the Republicans nnd monarchists exchang ed hot recriminations. But the debate Itself fell short of expectations, Senor Sagasta's reserving the desired expla nations depriving It of Interest. The heads of all political sections promised not to oppose any measures the government required to conduct the war. The chief Interest attached to the speech of Senor Jose Canalelas who declared that he belonged to no political party and could speak with entire In dependence. The editors of the Kl Horaldo severely ciltlcized the unpre parednets of the government. He said that he learned while on his visit to America and Cuba that the Americans meant war and were rapidly preparing for it being perfectly acquainted with Spain's means of attack and de fense: but he said, had the Spanish not been so yielding, and had It con fronted the Yankees with a powerful army the Americans would never have gone to war. He said he considered It preferable to give Cuba independence to embarking on a foreign war with out proper preparations. STRANGE COMPANIONS. An Incident of the division was the spectacle of such strange companluns as Senor Salmeron voting with Senor Mllla the Carllst, and Senor Romero y Roblerto, the Conservative. It caused one member to cry Ironically "good company." Senor Robledo quickly re torted "good Spanish company." SPAIN REJECTS ENGLISH OFFERS Will Not Consider Suggestion ol British Consul at Manila. THE GOVERNMENT CLAIMS TO SEE SOME DEEP LAID MACHINATION IN THE OFFER OF THE BRITISH CONSUL TO PROTECT CHINESE RESIDENTS IN THE PHILIPPINES. MESSAGE OF THE QUEEN REGENT ADOPTED. Madrid:, May 3. In tho congress to day a "tesolutlon of homage" In honor of those killed In the naval engage ment off Cavlte was adopted unani mously. Tho message from the queen regent was then adopted, the Republicans, Carlists and Conservatives voting In the negative. The otllclal account of Captain Gen eral Augustl's communication as to th offer of the British consul ut Manila to place all subjects In the Philippines under the protection of the British flag says: "Captain General August! wires that tho British consul called upon him to say that he would take tho Chlnesn subjects In the Philippines under tho British Hug in oider to safeguard their lives and pioperty." The captain gen eral added that a number of rich and influential Chinese at Manila had as sured, him that they weie satisfied with the protection of Spain. Senor Moret. secretary of the colonies, replied to Captain General AugustI that thers was no reason to neii pt the uroteeto rate which the British consul wished lo exorcise. The British consul's offei has been communicated to the powers. The government apparently sees some deep laid machinntlon on the part of Great Britain, for tho nlliclal note says: 'This news caused surprise, al though people are accustomed to the methods of thosu who direct British In terests.' " The question is naked: "What can bo tho object of British request? China Is not In a position to expect this or any other protectorate; but tho British take It upon themselves to be the pro tectors of the celestlnl empire ngnlnst French, Russian nnd German ambi tions, with a view undoubtedly to ac quire a new title bv the protection of Chinese In the Philippines, The Span ish government cannot accept the role offered It and rejects tho proposition, at the same time informing the powers who are not disposed to allow Great Britain to protect China that they have squadrons In the far east themselves for that purpose." FLEEINQ FROM HAVANA. Cenr of Bombardment Causes tin Kxodiis from Hie City. Key West, May 3. Nothing of Im portance has occurred here or on the Cuban coast during tho Inst three days. A British cruiser entered Havana yes terday for the purpose of taking away Brltlrh subjects. It Is not considered probable that Bhe will bring them here, on account of the quarantine regula tions. American vessels which have been cruising close to Havana have been ulile to see great numbers of por- NED It Is believed that the government Intends to close parliament the mo ment tho budget is voted. Senor Gas set's proposal to vote censure upon the government Is likely jto produce a warm debate. The minority, though small, Is In possession of grains far above the average of the deputies. IN THE SENATE. In the senote Admiral Beiwiger, af ter an eloquent eulogy of the seamen who had died at Manila, offered his services to the government uncondi tionally. Senor Sanches Toca violently protest ed agatnst the breach of international law Involved In the capture of Span ish ships by the ITnited States war ships before war had been declared, and characterized Americans' conduct as amounting to piracy. Senor Capdepon, minister of the In terior, explained that a state of siege had been declared "because certain elements had sought to turn the mis fortunes of the country to their own advantage by trying to arouse polit ical passions." Monslgnor Herrere, Cardinal Arch bishop of Santiago de Compostela, said he spoke because he desired to "stir uy the public mind against the coward ly Americans." He declared that the Spanish natioi. were "the victims of the power Of gold." Senor Uullun, the foreign minister. thanked Monslgnor Hcrrera for his pa- I trlutlc speech. sons camping along the roads like gyp sies, indicating that Havana Is being depopulated partly, owing to the fear of bombardment. Only meagre newa of the engage ments between the American and Span ish fleets at Manila have been received here, but Dewey's victory created the gratest enthusiasm among the naval representatives. NAVAL TARQET PRACTICE. The (.minors ol Captain Sampson's Crews Display 1'liolr Skill. On Board the Flagship Brooklyn, oft Fort Monroe, Va., May 3. The Inter est and enthusiasm over the victory of Commodore Dowey In the Philip pine Islands continued this morning In the fleet, but there was anxiety to know something of the American losses. It was a source of congratu lation, based on the meagre details received, that the American gunners had proved their superiority and It is confidently expected they will win ev ery naval battle of tho wur. It has been because of this self-congratula tion that the ships of the squadron at gun practice this morning showed phenomenal skill In hitting tne small, bobbing targets. The 13-Inch guns of the Massachusetts and the 12-Inch guns of the Texas swung around at all sorts of remarkable angles .and placed shot In and ntound their targets, while the smaller guns did equally good work. The eight-inch guns of the Brooklyn proved veritable destroyers as the tur rets swung quickly to given points, and the five-Inch rapid tire and six pounders put shot after shot In the small target. A notoworthj feature of the shooting was that every man at the guns acted as sighting gunner, nnd this In no way deteriorated from tho splendid marksniuuship. The revenue cutter Manning, recently converted, passed out this morning on her way to Key West. The gunboat Bancroft, which It was announced yesterduy had gone to the blockading fleet at Key West, Is at the Norfolk navy yard. New Itevenno CommiHtnticr. Harrlsburg.

"We will return the Philippine islands and ask for no Indemnity. We only want one thing, the recognition of tho Independence of Cuba.

BATTLE OFF CAPE RACE Inhabitants of St. John Startled Heavy Cannonading, by St. John, N. F., May 3. The tele graph operators at Cape Rase and Trepassey, on the Bouth coast of this Island, report having heard heavy ilr Ing of guns In the oiling on Saturday night. The firing lasted fifteen min utes, and to the operators conveyed the Impression that two ships were en gaged In a sea fight. The telegraph wires have since been Interrupted and no further nows was obtainable. The firing Is described as having been henvy enough to shake houses In tho vicinities mentioned. MURDER PREVENTED.

This will not necessarily be a nnvnl vessel, for it Is not be lieved that Commodore Dewey, who will be an nduiltal as soon as he can be reached by cable, ciulrt have spared any cf his ships, even the McCullocli. to carry dispatches before the bom bardment. In ordinary times there Is plenty of communication by steamers as well as by native vessels between the Philippines and the mainland, and the ofl'elals will be rather surprised If some news Is not coming by this means by tomorrow. - If Admiral Dewev wants troops to hold what he may gain' in the Philip pines he will be sent as many as he needs directly from San Francisco, and It Is very likely that state volunteers will make up the quota. The cabinet talked about this today, and Is only waiting to hear what Commodore Dewey wants. TUF CUBAN CAMPAIGN. Me.. awhile, the plans of the Cuban campaign are being steadily developed and there is no Indication of a change of purpose on the part of the military authorities who nte expected to land an expeditionary force In Cuba in a verv short time. Admiral Sampson, so far as the navy department knows. Is steudlly maintaining the blockade of the Cuban coast, und this Is not likely to be abandoned for the present, though two or three of his ships may be sent away temporarily to meet tho Oregon on her way to Cuba from Rio Janeiro. While the oPlclals of the navy depart ment naturally feel a warm Interest In this race of the magnificent battleship around the continent, they proTess to feel little anxiety as to the outcome, notwithstanding the current talk of an effort on the part of the Spanish Hying squadron to cut off the Oregon. The vessel sailed from Rio on a course known only to the captnln nnd the chances of being overtaken on the high seas are very small. Even should the Spanish vessels fall In with her it Is by no means certain notwithstanding their numbers that she would bo de feated by the combined Spanish fotee as her magnificent armor and ordnanos are superior In every respect, size and quality to those of the Spanlrh ships. CHINA'S NEUTRALITY. The proclamation directed against the Spanish residents of the United States by the slate department has not yet been issued, nor Is It certain that It will Issue; that probably depending upon the course pursued by the Span ish government In their trentment of American citizens by Spain. China Is sued her neutrality proclamation to day, so there Is now no place left on the Aslastlc coast open to the free use of the war vessels ot either Spain or the United Stntes. This Is rather remarkable In thnt It marks the first action of this kind on the part of China, which has never before Issued a neutrality proclama tion, nnd tho naval ofllcers are duly grateful for the courtesy shown by the Chinese government in withholding tho Issue of the decree until Informed that the Americans had acquired a base In the Philippine Islnnds. Washington will soon be gay with uniforms, as a result of an order to day requiring all olllcers to wear the uniforms of their proper grades. Adjutant General Corbln had a con ference with the president this after noon concerning the nominations of major generals, and brudlcr goiui nls, which, according to present Inten tions, will be sent to the senate i. morrow. General Corbln took with htm to i', Whlto House a full list of thoso tin , (nations which hud been agreed tu by the war department ofllclals. A', a twenty-minute conference with t president. General Corbln returned i the department to make some altera tions In the list suggested by the pres ident. It Is understood 'to havo been decid ed to name General Shufter, who has been designated to lead the army of Invasion Into Cuba. General Fltzhugh Lee and General Joe Wheeler, of Con federate cavalry fame, as three of tho major generals, COMMISSION FOR WOODFORD. It is regarded as probable that tho president may also nominate General r Woodford, former minister lo Spain, to be a major general. Concerning the appointments of brlg udler generals, It Is said to be the purpoe of the president, so fur us pos sible, to tnke the candidates from the ranks of colonels In the regular urmy. This will disappoint some of the candi dates for important commands. Tim exceptions, If any uro made, will be In favor of those states which furnish one or more brigades of trops. In such cases, It Is believed, the president will appoint us brigadier generals oincers recommended by the lrlgudlois of tho states whence the troops came, DESPATCHES AT FRENCH EM BASSY. The French embassy Is the only for eign establishment In Washington which has received ofllclal dispatches of the battle ot Manila. These came from the French ninbossador nt Mad rid and were drawn from Spanish re ports. It was stated from Berlin that the foreign olllce there had cabled re ports to nil the German embassies, but the German embassy here had not received a word on the subject up to a late hour tuduy. The British, French and German governments have consuls at Manila, but the cable Interruption cuts them off from nny communication with their governments. Who has cut the cable Is a source of speculation. A leading diplomat said thu circumstan ces would Indicate that the cutting had been done by Spanish oillclals, on In structions from Madrid, In order to stop the transmission of further news of the dlsuster there, and In that way calm the storm of popular Indignation ut Madrid. It Is thought to have been impossible for Commodore Dewey to have cut the cable, as ho was unac quainted with Its location llfty miles seaward and moreover there appears) to have been no motive for an Inter ruption of cable communication on his part. Repeated rumors were alloat during the dav to the effect that the British embassy had been advised of the fall of Manila Just before the cable com munication broke. At C o'clock this evening Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British ambassador, declared that ho had absolutely no such information. INFORMATION FROM GOMEZ. The Cuban authorities hero expect to receive early Information direct from the camp of General Gomez, brought by Brigadier General Nunez, who left here about ten days ago and succeeded In landing a party and mak ing his way to Gomez' camp. Tho par ty was u small one and took along sup plies, but Its main purpose was to open communications with Gomez and bring word as to his resources and readiness for an aggressive movement. Oillclals say the Cuban delegation say General Nunez Is llkelv to come out to one ot the American warships on his return trip, and thence to Key West to make reports to the authorities here. Secre tary Albertlnl Is Cuban charg u" af faires at present, President Palma and Secretary Quesada being In New York. MR. HARRISON TALKS WAR. First Public IJtternnco .Undo nt In dianapolis.
