VOLUME XVI. DALLAS, UEORUtA, FRIDAY. OCTOBER '28, NUMBER 5(i. [ faube>s ministers hate be- .y SIGNED IE A BOOT. il GRAVE CRISIS IS THREATENED. np* and Police Called Upon to Sap- pee. Web* Pa rad In a the Street, of Pari*. A Paris special announces that the Brisson ministry resigned in a body Tuesday afternoon. Djj/iug the session of the chamber of deputies Qeneral Chanoine created • sensation by tendering his resigna tion and subsequent to the adjourn ment the entire body severed its con nection with President Faure. The resigning cabinet was definitely formed on June 28th of the present year and was constituted as follows: . President of the council and minis- |) ter of Ahe interior, M. Henri Brisson. Minister of finance, Paul Peytral, Minister of education, Leon Bour geois. Minister of justice, Ferdinand Sp- rien. Minister of war, Qeodfrey Cavignac, who has been succeeded by General Zurlinden and General Chanoine. Minister of marine, Edotird Simon Lockroy. Minister of foreign affairs, Theophile Delcasse. Minister of the colonies, Georges Trouillet. Minister of commerce, Emile Mar- vejeui. Minister of agriculture, Albert Viger, who has since resigned. Minister of pnblio works, Senator Tillaye, who was succeeded by Senator Godin on September 17th. After the adjournment o! the cham ber there was intense exoitement, fol lowed by street demonstrations, prin cipally maintained by the anti-Semites, led by M. Drumont, in the vicinity of the offloes of Libre Parole and other •nti-Dreyfus papers. At many points the boulevards soon became almost impassable and there were numerons collisions between the 'HSfnonstrators and the polios, who had been fasting since early morning. Only with the utmost difficulty was a semblance of order preserved, and in many cases it was necessary for the cuirasseura to clear the streets. _ Strong bodies of police wore sta tioned in the neighborhood of the Palais Bourbon and the Place de la Concorde to prevent the projected demonstrations at the opening of tho chamber of deputies. The French oebimet met Tuesday morning and the minister of marine, M. Lockroy, announced that he would shortly introduce a scheme for the administrative and financial roorganh cation of the navy. A meeting of progressives and re publicans decided not to support the government's internal policy, but to uphold to the fullest extent its foreign policy. There was considerable dis order about the approaches of the Palace Bourbon when M. De Bouledo Millevoie .and other deputies arrived, tccompanied by a crowd of supporters. ® 'embers of the League of Patriots ho were crossing the Place de la Con- :ord shouted “Vive 1'avmee!" and the 'epnblican guards were obliged to sleir a passage.' A conflict with the police ensued. A,-ljand of anti-Semites ittacked and injured a commissary of wjlice with loaded sticks. The Jg- eader, M. Guerrin, president of the inti-Semito league, was arristod. When M. Drumont, the anti-Semite eader, arrived thare was further dis- urbance with cries of “Down with t e Jews!" and cheering for Franoe. detachment of cuirasseura ohnrged ind dispersed the mob. Several ar rests werd made. The session in the chamber of dep ities had no sooner opened than M. De Bouledo mado a violent attack ipon the minister of war, General 3anoine, whereupon the latter arose md xplained the conditions under rhich he acoepted the portfolio. In o doing he said he was of the same ipinion as his predecessors, evidently eferring to the question of reopening he Dreyfus enso, a remark which was jreeted with cheers and protests, the proar lasting five minutes. The chamber adjourned to November th. LTNCHEIl INNOCENT MAN. ’eople of Frednnla, Alabama, Regret Their fla.ty Action. L. L. Morris, who was arrested at iredonia, Ala,, Monday aB on acces- ory to the murder ofcCbarles Holmes, ras released from custody as sufficient ividence could not be secured to con- dot. Morris was arrested upon the con- ession of the negro, Anderson, who was lynched near LaFnyette early Sun- iay morning. Expressions of sorrow are heard on svery side at the hasty lynching of knderpon, as it is believed that if the ;wo men had been'brought face to face the truth would have become known. MAT ISSUE ULTIMATUM. Peer# CommlMlonem Tiring of Dilatory Tactics of Spaniard.. A Paris special says: The American peace commissioners were in session Monday from 10 o’olook in the morn ing to almost 2 o’olook in the after noon, when they repaired to the joint session. They took with thsm a care fully prepared written artiole to the amended proposals of the Spaniards regarding Cnba. It is expeoted the American paper is in the nature cf an ultimatum. The consideration by the commis sioners of the Porto Bioo and Ladrone question has now been merged with the Cuban question, and all points in volved are being carefnlly carried for ward to a simultaneous conclusion. When this has been adjusted the Phil ippine question will be taken up. Of oourse there is a probability of a disagreement and if the American commissioners decide not to assume any portion of the Cuban indebtedness the Spaniards may announce their un willingness to proceed any further with negotiation* based upon the pro tocol. The Spaniards may prefer a resump tion of hostilities to an acquiescence in the American refnsai to assume the burden. Up to the present the entire time of the commissioners has been consumed in efforts on the part of the Spanish to force the Cuban debt npon the at tention of the commissiouers against the firm stand of the Americans. The latter havo stated as positively as they could that under no circumstances would they assume sovereignty over Cuba involving any assuming of the Cuban debt, and the time has now come when, in the opinion of the American commissioners, the Span iards must be made to understand that this is final and conclusive. So fni- the American commissioners, preserving a firm attitude, have treat ed the Spaniards with the utmost courtesy and consideration, allowing frequent postponements of the work of the joint eommittee to accommo date the Spaniards, bnt now, probably at today’s meeting, without departing from their courteous treatment of the Spaniards, the Amerioan commission ers will find it incumbent on them to speak very plainly as to the intentions of the government in regard to the matter of the Cuban debt and Caban sovereignly as passing over and be yond recall. A WAR SECRET OUT. The Cabinet Voteil For Admiral Sehley’. Recall to United Stntea. A Washington • ispatoh says: The publication Monday morning, in de tail, of Admiral Sampson’s report re garding the work of the natty around the const of Cuba before the battle of July 8, makes pnblio one of the well kept secrets of the war, and at the Barne time springs a tremendons sen sation. While it has been known for some time that Admiral Sampson’s report, which is included in the report of Captain Crowninshield, ohief of the bureau of navigation, would contain grave reflections on Admiral Schley’s work of blockading Cienfnegos and Santiago, it has not been known that at the time Admiral Cervera was loca ted the cabinet came very near recall ing Commodore Schley to the United States. • According to Admiral Sampson's re port Commodore Sehley, who was then in charge of the flying squadron, insisted upon blockading Clenfugos, claiming that Cervera was inside. Even when he was notified by Cap tain McCall a of the Marblehead that Cervera was at Santiago; the report claims that Commodore Schley in stead of going to that plaoe, started to Key West to coal. He was overtaken by the Hnrvard and peremptory or ders were sent to him by the depart ment to return and blockade Santiago. All of this comes out in Admiral Sampson’s report, bnt the notion of the cabinet at Washington was one of the secrets of the war. The president, on his kindly nature, not desiring to be too severe on any officer who had rendered great service, and especially not desiring to cause any unpleasantness in the navy, while the war was continuing, put in a per sonal pica for Commodore Schley and finally persuaded the cabinet to re consider its vote and to arrange mat ters so as to leave Commodore Schley in command of his old squadron, but combining it with Admiral Sampson’s and plaoing the latter in command of the fleet. TWELVE ABE BEAD. Some hater Particulars of the Mississippi Unco War. The New Orleans Pioayune’s For est, Miss., special says that eleven dead negroes, one dead white man and one negro and three white men seri ously wounded is tho result so far as certained of the bloody war being waged between tho white and lilack races in the Harpersville neighbor hood of Scott county. Several of the rioters have been captured and were lodges in jail at Forest Monday but the others escaped into the swamps. Large orowds of white men are in close pursuit, however, and more names are expected to be added to tho death list. SPANIARDS ARE BALKING. PEACE COMMISSIONERS ANXIOUS FOR MORE DELAY, ARE NOT YIELDING TO AMERICANS. Dl.posltloh or the Cuban Debt Seems to Bo the Principal Barrlar to Proems. A cable dispatch of Thursday from Paris says: The Spanish peace com missioners have not yet received from Madrid either instruction or permis sion to bid ndieu to Cubau sovereignty without furthor seeking to attach to this sovereignty some condition pro viding for the assumption of the Onban debt by the United States. If they are as at present disposed and instructed, the Spaniards will not at Friday's meeting recognize affirm atively the United States’ position. Should tlioy flatly rejoot Amerioan in sistence, the Spaniards, while reong- nizing tho physical power of the Unit ed States against unaided Spain, will dumbly extend their palms upward and shrug their shoulders. They re gard the situation as pitiable and are not averse to any sympathy it may ex cite. They affiim that the American nnswer to the debt proposition is very long, uni that they have not yet had time to nieditate fully on it. They, thus far, apparently intend not to yield and will make another written presentment and expect an extendod discussion thereon. Whether they bo met with, or at the oloso of the session receive, as to Culm, the American n'timatum of terms and time, must be then devel oped. While this is now not quite probable, it is possible, Spaniard* Dcpreiaed. The Paris correspondent of the Lon don Times says: . “I had a visit today (Thursday) from a great Spanish personage who seems to have been commissioned to ascertain the trend of publio opinion on the negotiations here. Ho appeared much depressed. He has found great and general sympathy with Spain, but has been unablo to discovor any possi bility of obtaining moral support agaiiiBt the American delegates who are inflexible in thoir demands and with much politeness of form have hitherto categorically refused to make the slightest concessions on any of the instructions received by them, never having asked their government for the slightest modifications. “I havo already explained the mode of negotiations. Memoirs are handed in, which are translated and replied to in the Bamo fashion. The Span iards from time to time endeavor to enter into conversation nnd turn the discussion into a verbal exchange of views in order to obtain somo devia tion from tho inflexible line marked out by the American government for its representatives. “Sonor Barsque, who is a master of tho English language, is the Spanish commissioner who makes the attempts to lead to a conversation, ami as he is described as ,very pressing and elo quent, he always makes u profound impression. T-hp Americans, how ever, listen attentively, but maintain the procedure of written replies. "Tho friend who called told ho had found his countrymen much discour aged, Being convinced that the United States is bent on a rigorous exercise of the rights of the victor. Said he: “ ‘Tho Americans seom bent on pushing the results of the war to their extreme consequences. They rofuse to entertain any concessions on the financial question, and while declining to undertake sovereignty in Cuba, they maintain that the Cuban debt is a Spanish debt and that Spain ahnssd her sovereignty by saddling the island with the interest of a debt by whioh she alone ptodted. “ ‘Vainly have wo urged that they themselves accepted financial obliga tions toward England aftor the war of independence; that they acoepted the burdens of Texas after conquest; that there is no more general law than the law of the obligations of a country changing with its rules, and thnt it would bo an arbitrary course and a vexatious precedent to throw the Cu ban debt upon us. It is useless and they stand peremptorily on their de mands.’ ” BA HIT A WILL CONTROL. ins Initial Fight In tlio First Session of Cuban Congress. A dispatch from Santiago, Cnba, states that the first session of tho Cu- bnn assembly was held Monday at Santa Crnz del Stir. A majority of the delegates are military delegates. The sensation of the assembly was the appearance of GeuernI Calixto Gar cia, as one of tho delegates from the Fifth army corps, a fact which practi cally renders him supreme at the as sembly session. His election to be president over the congress is consid ered a foregone conclusion, as it is conceded that he controls a majority of the. delegates. FRUITLESS SESSIONS. Bmm Oommlnlasm R*n Mol As T*t Completed First Artlels. A Paris speoial says: The United States and Spanish peaoe commissions held separate sessions Friday morning and a joint session opened in the af ternoon whioh lasted from 2 o’olook to 4:80 o’olook. During this time the oommissioners discussed the second series of written arguments put forward by the Span iards for the purpose of prevailing np on the American commissioners to as sume the debt. No definite conclu sion wss reached and the commission ers sdjourned nntil Monday. It iB probsble that this feature of the negotiations will be disposed of next week. Thus far there have been seven joint sessions, four of which have been de voted to the discussion of the first article of the protocol. In this man ner two weeks have passed and no re sult has been reached. The American oommissioners havo listened to all the arguments of the Spaniards, bnt they have not ohanged the position whioh they first assumed in refusing to take over the Cuban debt. An effort is being mado in PariB to create the impression that there is some understanding between the United States anfl Spain regarding the Philippine islands, outside of the statements oontained in the third arti ole of the protocol. That artiole em bodies the only agreement between •he United States and Spain in regard to the Philippines, and it clearly sots forth that the United States will oooupy ami hold the city, hay and har bor of Manila pending the conclusion of a treaty of peace, whioh shall de termine the disposition and govern ment and control of the Philippine islands. Beyond this protocol agreement it oan be asserted with confidence, there is no other understanding on the subject between the United States and Spain. The purpose of the United States and the agreement arrived at with Spain was that the control and government of the Philippine islands should be deoided by the commissions now Bit ting here, and Spain understood that the protocol did not determine any thing as to Spain's ultimate sovereign ty in the Phiilipine islands. It was understood by both powers that the protoeol was a compact by which it was agreed that the peace commissions should determine tho future disposi tion of the Philippine islands. This will lie done when the Cuban question is settled and after tho points relating to Porto Bioo and the Ladrones have Leon passed upon. COURT SUSTAINED DARE. Secretary Hal Discretion In Selling llnltoil State* Bond*. A Washington dispatch says: Judge Cox, in the district supreme eonrt, lias decided the cases of George B. Wight- man and of William H. Wharton against Secretary Gago, in favor of the secre tary of the treasury. One suit sought an injunction, and the other a mandamus, tho basis of complaint in each being the rejection by the secretary of tho troastiry of bids submitted for tho recent war loan bond issue by the complainants. Sec retary Gage rejected the bids, believ ing the bidders really represented cer tain institutions. .Tndge Cox Friday held that nndor tho aot of congress tho secretary of the treasury had discretion in the award of the bonds, and that the in tent of congress was that they should go to individuals to the exclusion of banks and corporations. MADRID SHEET SUPPRESSED. Conservative !)*v*p*p*r Fall* to Comply With the Rule*. A Madrid dispatch says: El Nacional, the conservative organ which is sup porting General Wcyler, was orderod suppressed for publishing an article not previously submitted to the censor though its editor, Heuor Figuora, a member of the chamber of deputies, has been imprisoned. The affair caused a great sensation and the sus pension ordered was ovontually an nulled. Senor Gamnzo, minister of public instruction and public jvorks, has ten dered liis resignation ’ as u protest against the nrrest ’ of tlio editor of El Nacional. Tho resignation has been aocepted, Senor Hagnstn taking Senor Gamazo's portfolio ad interim. MAV RESIST DEMANDS. France Is Anxious to Keep Fashodn In Deference to Public Opinion. Advices from Paris state that a re markable change lias come over the Frenoh opinion on tho Fashoila ques tion. The attitude of the public is now more inflamed and more defiant. This is partly dne to tho tone of tho British press, but more to the threat ening speech of tho British chancellor of tho exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks- Beuoh, which The Autorito calls “a provocation that is almost a threat of war.’! The municipal council of Paris is abused on all sides for exhorting the government to avert war. In govern ment circles the disposition Beems to be to resist the British demands. RIGHTS OF CUBANS DEFINED GENERAL WOOD ISSUES PROCLA MATION OF OOTERNMENT. IT CONSISTS OF TEN SECTIONS Anil Under Them the Municipal Law* «f tha Island Will He Admlaletarad Ry Americans. General Wood, military governor pro tem of the department of Santiago, has issued a proclamation iu ten seo- tions, whioh is a sort of declaration of independonos.

FEARFUL MORTALITY In tha City nf Havana From January l*t to Ootnhnr IStli. A Washington dispatch Bays: Dr. Brunner has just reported to the department a complete report on the mortality of Havana from January 1 to October 18. His figures are enough to strike terror to the hearts of those contemplating visiting the city. Dr. Brunner's figures deal only with the city proper. Military hospitals in the suburbs would add materially to the totals. In spite of tho fact that Havana was considered practically free from yellow fover this year, 18 died from that Sin- ease dnriug July, 20 in August, 23 in {September and 17 iu the first 13 days of October.
