BRITONS ARE BALKY
Hesitate at Approval of the
Nicaragua Canal Treaty.
SENATE’S DEMANDS ARE A SNAG
Answer Will Be Tantamount to
a Refusal and Will Contain
Counter Proposals.
It has been learned by a representa¬
tive of the Associated Press in London
that a reply will shortly be sent to the
United States Nicaragua canal project.
It will not comply with the senate’s
demands. Neither will it be in the
nature of a flat refusal, though for
purposes of immediate construction it
will be tantamount to such a refusal.
It will consist, mainly, in a counter
proposal, or proposals, likely to neces¬
sitate extended negotiations. The na¬
ture of the proposal is not yet ascer¬
tainable. Lord Pauncefote will prob¬
ably be the medium through whom
the answer will be sent, and by whom
the subsequent negotiations will chiefly
be conducted.
In British official opinion it is likely
that several months will elapse before
the matter reaches a conclusion, by
which time the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
will have lapsed, on the basis of the
senate’s amendments.
The British counter proposals are
now formulating, and it is hoped an
entirely new agreement, satisfactory
to both countries, will eventually be
reached.
A FEELING OF BEGRET.
A Washington special says: So far
as can be ascertained the adminisfc-a
tion has not had any intimation of the
counter proposals the London dis¬
patch says will be made in the matter
of the Nicaragua canal project. There
is a feeling of regret that the British

government has felt constrained to
adopt such a course, as the hope was
entertained that the amendments to
the Haye-Pauncefote treaty might
have been accepted in the spirit in
which they were made.
Senator Morgan, when informed of
the new stand taken by Great Britain,
said he believed if Great Britain has
decided to take the action stated it
would create resentment in the senate
and among the people and distrust of
ihe motives of that government. He
hoped it might result iu some action
on the pending bill at this session.
One suggestion already made as a
possible counter proposal by Great
Britain was that in return for conces
sions made by her she might desire an
open port on the Alaskan coast as an
entrance into her gold fields in the
Klondike.
CHARGES AGAINST WILCOX
Discussed By Elections Committee—Ha¬
waiian Calls Gear a Liar.
A Washington dispatch says . I'jjg
charges against Delegate Wilcox, of
Hawaii, were heard Friday by the
house committee on elections No. 1.
Mr. Wilcox was present, accompanied
by representative Robinson, of In¬
diana, who appeared as his friend and
counsel. The specific answer of Mr.
Wilcox to the charges contained in
the letters submitted was presented,
It states:
“That he (Wilcox) is a native Hawa
iian; that he shared with the native
people, loyalty to the former Queen
Lilioukalani during her reign, and
was not in sympathy with thereign
mg power immediately succeeding her
rel George jp‘ D. Gear, _ the ,, prosecutor, .
contended that the election <>i Wilcox
was irregular and void, as the require
ments of the United states were not
complied with.
On cross-examination Mr. Gear
stated that in Wilcox’s campaign
speeches he said he would restore
Queen Lilinokalani. When the wit
ness said Wilcox had “eternally
damned the Americaus,” the delegate
muttered “liar,” but was mild re
strained by his counsel. After Mr.
Gear had presented the his evidence
he made an extended argument ar
gument arraigning the delegate.

Serious Outbreaks' Are Reported
In Various Parts of Kingdom
and Soldiers Kept Busy.
Advices from Madrid, Spain, state
that the idle classes wandered in the
afreets Monday apparently awaiting the
cover of night to give vent to their
hatred of the aristocracy. The Puerto
del Sol, a large square in the center of
the city, was the principal gathering
spot. Mounted civil guards patrolled
it all day long. At nightfall the square
was black with people. The single
cries and low toned murmurings were
besoming louder until the outcry al
most became a roar.
At 7 o’clock the guards cleared the
space and their numbers were in¬
creased, for the carriages ot the higher
classes of people, diplomats and oth¬
ers, had to traverse the square in go
ing to the ball at the palace.
The students presented themselves
^ tfae o{ thfl universit and)
& h clo8ed protested against
the ho]iday and marched to the Prado,
shouting “Down with the Jesuits.”
SAGASTA TALKS OF THE BIOTS.
In an interview Senor Sagasta, the
liberal leader, said he disapproved of
tbe nols y demonstrations, but recog
nized that they were the outcome of
the existing situation, which was ag
gravated by the Ubao affair. He
thought the presence of Count Caserta
>u Madrid was unnecessary, and that
be ought not have come to the mar
nago of his son, Prince Charles of
Bourbon, as he might have foreseen
bis presence would create trouble,
Senor Sagasta severely condemned the
brutality of the police.
“A carnival,” he continued, “is of-
ten the occasion for disorders. I am
astonished that many people do not
attach importance to these events. It
is impossible to foresee what the future
has in store. We know how events
begin, but we never know how they
will end.”
The Imparcial says that a lieutenant
amt two soldiers were among the per¬
sons arrested Sunday. The lieutenant
was immediately released amid cheers
for the army.
Martial law has been declared in
Valencia.
On the Prado the gendarmes were
stoned and were compelled to charge
Ihe rioters, several persons being in¬
jured.
Demonstrations against the Jesuits
continue in Barcelona.
At Granada a large mol) paraded
the streets Monday shouting “long
live liberty,” “down with the Je¬
suits.” A crowd gathered around a
convent and shots were fired from
within. The crowd increased in size,
and the prefect, with a detachment of
gendarmes, repaired to the scene.
The mob hooted them. The prefect
entered the convent, and when he
emerged he explained that the shots
were fired by a couple of gendarmes
within the convent in order to attract
assistance. They had not fired on the
mob. The latter renewed its anti-Je¬
suit cries and attempted to break into
the building, but gendarmes dispersed
the rioters.
The anti-clerical demonstrations have
been resumed in Valencia.
As Saragossa during an anti-clerical
demonstration Monday the students
stoned several monks. They were dis¬
persed by police and gendarmes.
Demonstrators carrying a republican
flag fired on the gendarmes and a ser¬
geant and several people in the crowd
were wounded.
The troops are now contiued to bar¬
racks. Captain General Borrorea was
greeted with cries “Long live the re¬
public,” having reference to his repub¬
lican antecedents.
Topeka Tipplers In Tears.
All the “joints” of Topeka, Kansas,
were closed Monday night. The citi¬
zens made the peremptory order that
sales be discontinued by noon of that
day, and as far as is known the order
was obeyed.
