i
Spanish Cabinet
Is Broken.
A New War Cabinet Will Be
Named and Will Be Prac¬
tically Dictated By
Weyler.
Advices from Madrid state that
-the members of the Spanish cabinet
have resigned. Senor Sagasta commu
nicated the situation to the queen re¬
gent, who entrusted him with the task
of forming a new ministry.
The Spanish cabinet which has just
resigned was composed as follows:
President of the council, Senor Sa¬
gasta; minister of foreign affairs, Senor
Gullon; minister of justice, Senor
Groizard; minister of finance, Senor
Puigoerver; minister of interior, Senor

Oapdepon; minister of war, General
Correa; minister of marine, Admiral
Bermejo; minister of agriculture and
commerce and of public works, Count
Xiquena; minister of colonies, Senor
Moret.
The Liberal cabinet under Senor Sa
gasta was formed shortly after the as¬
sassination of Senor Canovas Del Cas¬
tillo, who was assassinated on August
8th, 1897, by an Italian anarchist
named Golli.
Senor Moret, the minister of the
oolonies, has con tinned the state¬
ment that any changes made iu the
composition of the cabinet would be
wholly in the direction of a more active
war policy.
The war cabinet to be named will be
practically dictated by Weylor.
The queen regent has charged Senor
Sagatfta to form a new cabinet. The
premier, Monday evening, conferred
with the presidents of the chambers
and with Senor Gnmazo.
Marquis Vega d’Armijo, president
of the chamber, has advised Senor Sa
gasta to eud the crisis as quiokly as
possible. Senor Montero Rios, presi¬
dent of the senate, has offered his sup¬
port, but does not desire to enter the
new cabinet. Senor Gamazo, who is
ill, also declines to enter th*. cabinet,
but he promises to support afcy minis
try organized by Senor Sagftsta.
The difficulty, it appears, is to find
men who are willing to assume office
under the conditions which now pre¬
vail in S^iain. An empty treasury,
internal disorders and the loss of the
Philippine Rico, islands, Cuba and Porto
are not the only problems con¬
fronting Spanish ministers, and it is
not astonishing that under the circum
stances a military dictatorship has
been discussed.
NO COAL1NQ ALLOWED.
Stringent Measures Adopted By Au¬
thorities of St. Thomas teland.
An official announcement just issued
by the governor of the island of St.
Thomas, prohibits the delivery of coal
to warships of the belligerent powers
without the previous permission of the
governor, who will determine the
Amount each vessel may receive and
who will supervise its delivery.
THREATENED BY SPANIARDS.
Aa English Fleet Off Coruna Is Re¬
fused Previsions.
A dispatch to The Lendea Standard
from Coruna says:
The preaenee of the Bri^s h channel
squadron at Vlllagaroia is likely to
lead to some unpleasantness. The
idea of an Anglo-American alliance
has so inflamed the Spaniards that the
postmen from the fleet when on shore
to collect letters have been stoned.
Threats have been made to stop the
supply of provisions to the fleet. The
British consul protested to the alcaide,
who explained that the popular
ment was due to a belief in the exist
of an alliance.
ARE CHASING
THE SPANIARDS.
All Interest Is Centered In Neigh¬
borhood of Cienfuegos,
SAMPSON CHANGES PLANS.
Cape Verde Fleet Said to Be
Making For Cuba.
It was said at the navy department
that Admiral Sampson reported to the
department Monday by cable from
Cape Haytien. It was also stated that
Admiral Sampson, by reason of infor¬
mation just received by him, changed
his plans of operations, and instead of
going to Key West, directed his ves¬
sels toward Cienfuegos.
The Spanish fleet, last seen at Cura
coa, is presumed to be headed toward
Cienfuegos, and this places Sampson
in chase.
The navy department takes with
great allowance the report that the
Spanish strategists have succeeded in
sending a second sqadron, under Ad
miral Villamil, to the West Indies,
and that it is also off Martinique.
Even if the alleged information did
not bear the suspicious earmarks of a
Madrid date, the department would
not be surprised to hear that Admiral
Villamil, as well as Admiral Cervera,
was with the Spanish force in the Ca
ribean sea.
The fact that the report came from
Madrid satisfies the officials here that
this is another Spanish ruse to center
our attention on Martinique while their
ships have passed westward.
The report has it that Admiral Vill
amfl has with him the cruisers Cisne
rps, Cataluna and Princess de Austur
ias. It is known, however, that Villa
mil is not the admiral . of those ships,
and that, at least one of them, the Cis
neros, is on the other side of the
watel >
It is also , , known that Adimral . -, , Villa
mil has arrived with his fleet at Mar
tinique, but this is merely the torpedo
adjunct to the main fleet and was re
ported when the fleet first made its ap
pearance.
The fact that the alleged report of
the second squadron passed a Madrid
censor indicates the desire of the
Spanish authorities to spread abroad
this misleading information.
Its purpose, it is believed, is to in
duce Admiral Sampson to remain with

ENDORSEMENT REFUSED.
Methodist Conference Opposed to
‘•Political” Work of W. C. T. U.
A Baltimore dispatch says: The
committee on temperance reported un¬
favorably at the general conference of
the Methodist Episcopal church a pro¬
position to endorse the Woman’s
Christian Temperance Union, and a
lively debate ensued. The resolution
was opposed “on account of the po¬
litical work of the organization. ” After
considerable debate the friends of the
resolution accepted an amendment
which endorsed the temperance work
of the white ribbonera.

VIGILANT WATCH
FOR SPANIARDS.
Schley and Sampson’s Ships and
Men Are In Readiness,
GUARD AGAINST SURPRISE.
Outcome Of Meeting Of Opposing
Fleets Anxiously Awaited.
Associated Press dispatches of Tues
day from off Havana via Key West
state that the ships of the American
blockading squadron are keeping a
vigilant watch for the appearance of
tbe fleet and will not be taken hv ” sur .
prise . should , ,, the „ Spanish . , men-of-war
round Cape Antonio, the westernmost
point of Cuba, and swoop down upon
Havana. All our ships have been
warned by Commander Watson of the
possibility of such a move and sailors
are kept constantly in the tops, where
they can sweep the horizon for thirty
miles, looking for the first sign of a
hostile ship.
All the naval officers on the blockade
station are anxious for a meeting with
the Spaniards, and when informed
that the latest reports placed them off
the coast of Venezuela, they jubilantly
declared that the enemy could be
hemmed in between the Windward
islands and tbe Yucatan channel to be
destroyed. The only fear expressed was
for the safety of our ships blockading
Cienfuegos. But they do not doubt
that precautions have been taken for
the safety of the ships now on the
southern coast of Cuba. Tbe torpedo
boats and fast yachts of the auxiliary
fleet keep the blockading ships in
constant communication with Key
West, whence the movements of ves¬
sels are being directed.
General opinion is that there will be
no movement of the army in the direc¬
tion of Cuba so long as tbe Spanish
fleet remains in American waters, or
until it is met and beaten.
Tbe blockade of Havana has been
maintained without incident since the
Conde Venudito and Legazpi attempt¬
ed to draw r onr ships under the big
guns of the Santa Clara battery Satur¬
day evening. The French frigate Du
bourdieu, which entered Havana har¬
bor a week ago, after an unpleasant
incident which necessitated the firing
of two shots across her bow’s before
the Frenchman would show his flag,
passed out Tuesday afternoon about 4
o’clock and headed northwest.
The Dubourdieu is a long school
ship, carrying six-inch and five-inch
guns and one-pounders, besides two
torpedo tubes. The Mayflower ran
close enough to the frigate to establish
the Frenchman’s identity, and then
stood off. Our flag was not saluted.
The Dubourdien, like the French sloop
of war Fulton, had oil board many
refugees. She is bound, probably, for
some Mexican port.
The activity along the coast contin¬
ues. Squads of Spanish cavalry and
parties working upon fortifications
have beell seen daily along the shores.
Orders have been given not to expose
the small vessels of the squadron to
unnecessary danger.
Things at Washington are at an ap¬
parent standstill. Everything is be¬
ing held up pending news of the
meeting of the two fleets of war.
When they will get together no man
can say. Wise experts who are on the
outside of the department, and are,
therefore, free in their predictions and
their criticisms, are inclined to the be¬
lief that it will be some days yet be¬
fore there is a meeting, if there is one
at all. A good many of these critics
are disposed to think that the Span¬
iards will yet be foxy enough to elude
Sampson and Schley, but the authori¬
ties who have charge of the move¬
ments of the fleets think otherwise.
LEST WE FORGET.
“Remember the Maine” to Be Im¬
printed On Army Crackers.
Captain Duvall, of the United States
commissary department, has made a
contract with St. Louis bakeries for
610,000 pounds of army crackers. This
is equivalent to 10,000 barrels of flour.
On each will printed the words,

SINGULAR STATEMENT.
Prom Mrs. Rank to Mrs. Pinkham.
The following letter to Mrs. Pink
ham from Mrs. M. Rank, No. 2,354 I
East Susquehanna Ave., Philadelphia,
Pa., is a remarkable statement of re¬
lief from utter discouragement. She
says: |
“ I never can find words with which
to thank you for what Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound has done
for me.
“ Some years ago I had womb trouble
and doctored for a long time, not see¬
ing any improvement. At times ^
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So it went on
until last October, I felt something
terrible creeping over me, I knew not
what, but kept getting worse. I can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. I was so depressed in spirits
that I did not wish to live, although I
had everything to live for. Had hys¬
teria, was very nervous; could not
sleep and was not safe to be left
alone.
“ Indeed, I thought I would lose my
mind. No one knows what I endured.
“ 1 continued ibis way until the last
of February, when I saw in a paper a
testimonial of a lady whose case was
similar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta¬
ble Compound. 1 determined to try it,
and felt better after the first dose. I
continued taking it, and to-day am a
well woman, and can say from my
heart, ‘ Thank God for such a medi¬
cine.’
Mrs. Pinkham invites all suffering
women to write to her at Lynn, Mass.,
for advice. All such letters are seen
and answered by women onlv
