Madrid, Sept. 0. General l'olnvleja'a
new party Is assuming the greatest Im
portance. Ills program has met with
the warm approval of the great news
papers, particularly El Imparclal, El
Ilcraldo and El Naclonal. The latter,
until lately, had supported General
Weyler, but It will rally now to Gen
eral I'olavleja, who proposes a reor
ganization (if Spain from the llnanclal
nnd political view points.
It Is understood that General I'ola
vleja decided to organize a new party
after several conferences with "n high
personage, who, however, has not In
terfered directly In tho formation of the
party. Ills manifesto Is now under
consideration. If the military censor
refuses to grant an exc-quature the
manifesto will bo read In the chamber
of deputies.
The general conviction Is that as soon
as the treaty of peace is signed the
Sagasta cabinet will resign and be 're
placed by cither a Silvern or a Pola-
vieja ministry.
The speech of Count D'Almenas In
the senate on Wednesday has greatly
excited the military party, whose hot
espousals of the cause of their Cuban
comrades threatens to make troublo.

The bill authorizing the government
to conclude peace Is as follows:
"The reverses suffered hy our arms In
tho unequal struggle to which we were
driven In order to defend the honor of
tho nation and maintain Its rights do.
prlved us at an early stage of the ele.
ments required for continuing the war,
"Tho bravery of our soldiers and sail
ors proved lnsulliclent, as did the calm
attitude of the nation, ever reudv to
shed Its blood and sacrifice Its re
Bources for the honor of the Spanish
flag.
"Separated by wide seas from the
territories It was our object to pro
tect, and these territories being closely
blockaded, so that our few remaining
ships could not reach them, her ma
Jesty's government has lieen compelled
to admit tho hitter truth, which Is that
an end must be put to tho war.
"The sense of responsibility entnlled
by the preliminary peace negotiations
has weighed most heavily on the gov
ernment. Notwithstanding It fully ap
nreciated its duty toward the country,
the government had to consent to these
preliminary negotiations and to bow
to tho cruel sacrllkes imposed hy sheer
necessity. For this reason, and bo
cause ix?nce must be purchased at the
cost of a cession of tenltory and tho
abandonment of sovereign rights, the
government has thought It expedient to
sound tho cortes before concluding tho
treaty, the ratlllcntion of which will bo
duly untitled to both chambers, In ao.
cordance with constitutional law.
"The government, whose moderate
langungo will not be found fault with
by the representatives of tho nation,
limits itself to submitting to tho cor

" 'The government Is authorized

In accordance with the pcaco prellmln

Tho meeting of tho School Hoard last night
was a short 0110 so far as time consumed asldo
from tbo reading of minute:, which occupied
an hour and gave tho Directors a tired feeling
before tho routine was taken up.
The monotony of tbo session was relieved
a couplo of times by a tilt over points of
order on tho ruling of tho chair and a ques
tion as to whether or not the rules of the
Hoard had been violated by ono of the com
mittee in giving out work to an amount
exceeding (50 without socuriug bids.
The Directors who attended tho meeting
wero Mossrs. Coughliu, Hanna, Haugli, Dove,
Martin, Malick, Whitaker, Sullivan, Hreslin
and Dovitt. Superintendent Cooper, Truant
Officer Smith and Tax Collector llurke wero
also prcsout.
I he first hitch arose when Mr. Haugh
stated that his boy was suspended from
school during tho last term and attempts to
liavo him reinstated tins term. Mr. Haugh
sun mere uau noen considerable talk over
tho mattor and the Directors wero being
severely criticised.
Superintendent Cooper stated that tho
facts of the caso, briefly, wero that the boy
did not remain suspended from school,
suspension is not an expulsion and does not
operate from ono term to another. Iu the
second place, the boy had not applied for
reinstatement. Truant Officer Smith also
mado a statement.
Director Dove raised tho point that the
matter was solely iu the hands of tho
superintendent and tho Hoard could not act
on such cases unless they come before the
Hoard in tlio nature of charges.
Superintendent Cooper said be would give
any attention to tho cine that his duties
required aud President Coughliu stated that,
under tho oiler, the superintendent would
remain instructed accordingly; whereupon
Mr. Dovo objected to the Hoard giving any
instructions, or taking any other coguizance
of tho case, as it was sololy a matter within
the jurisdiction of tho superintendent. He
then moved that the chairman's instructions
be not carried out. The motion was ruled
out of order aud Mr. Dovo appealed. Tho
appeal was sustained aud the motiou carried.
The second tilt aroso overa bill for too for
roofing and painting. Chairman Coughliu
said the committee had exceeded its authority
uy awarding tlio work without bids. Tho
committee maintained that tho award was
not mado in bulk, and therefore did not come
within tlio $50 limit rule. On motion Chair
man Coughlin's ruling was set aside.

Tho committeo on heating and fuel asked
permission to adverti.so for proposals for coal
and hauling, and iu response the Board
deviated from the custom of past years by
instructing the secretary to communlcato
with tbo P. & It. C. & I. Co. and ascertain the
cost of 150 tons of coal ; and ordered that the
committeo advertise only for bids for tho
hauling of coal.

ing bad been rcnowed at a reduction of 25
per cent, on tho premiums paid previously.
