1 HI K Mil Sagasta Disappointed Over the Political Composition of the Peace Commission. GRAVE EVENTS ARE FORESHADOWED. ' Tli« Alleged Intention of the United State* to Demand the leland of l>nson Regarded aa an Infringement of the Protocol— The Political Sltnntioa, on th* Whole* Bm n Rather Dismal Outlook. New York, Sept. IS.—A dispatch to the Tribune from Madrid says: Sagasta’a Bitter Disappointment. It is a bitter disappointment to Pre- • mier Sagasta that he has failed to get for Spanish peace commissioners representative men of all parties to give it a national character over and above sectional politics. In spite of all bis promises and persuasion, the premier has been unable to obtain the consent of any statesmen outside of his own immediate followers who are willing to act on the commission, where, to use an expression of Scnor Silvela. “Spain can employ nothing but empty words and parables to op{*ose any demands the American commissioners may see fit to make.”

Grave Event* Foreshadowed. The scenes in the cortes, and espe dally Count Almena's violent onslaughts upon the liberals, which are said to be indorsed by numerous young officers, are regarded us foreshadowing events of far greeter importance that oan not be avoided after the signing of the peace treaty. The sole point upon which all parties here now seem to agree is that Senor Sagasta must remain in power until the conclusion of peace, and thereby drink the dregs of the cup which, his enemies maintain, he himself brewed. An Alleged Infringement of the i.’ene* Protocol. The alleged i legation of the United States to demand the island of Luzon Is regarded by Madrid foreign officers as an infringement on the peace protocol. If Spain is compelled to cede that island to the United States, great efforts will be made to retain the right to determine the disposal of all the other Philippine islands, with a view of actually abandoning them altogether. On this point it is asserted that an arrangement is under discussion with Germany, by which Germany will get, by way of a "broker’s commission," Palawan and Sulu. The Drift of Opinion. In reference to the Philippines, it is significant that the drift of opiniou among members of the cortes is that If Spain must cede to the United States anything more ..than a mere coaling station, it would then be preferable to withdraw Spanish sovereignity entirely. Among civilians outright abandonment is considered the wisest policy, especially now that military men, like Senor Polavieja, say that under the new situation- a permanent garrison of at least 50,000 men would be required to hold the islands, and that to maintain such a force would be too severe « tax on the national resources. The Caban. Debt Bag*boo. In diplomatic circles here great confidence is felt that the Spanish peace commissioners will succeed in saddling upon Cuba that portion of the Cuban debt incurred previous to the last insi'rrection, and w'hich is said to be guaranteed by the Cuban custom receipts. A Diurnal Sit nation. The international political situation is more dismal than the military leaders think. Although they presented: av solid front during the recent session of the cortes. they are in reality divided among themselves. The queen regent has already discounted Senor Sagasta’s eventual retirement, and pins her faith in Senor Polavieja, whose lack of political experience will be supplied by Seoor Si I vela or Senor Canalejes They are ready to join hands with Senor Leon y Castillo, who, during his present stay in Madrid, has been almost hourly consulted by the queen regent.

Military Leaders Prepared te Act as Soon ae Peace li Signed. It is impossible to longer conceal the fact that the military leaders are now preparing to act as soon as peace is signed. Gen. Weyler never misses an opportunity to discredit the dynasty, and is bitterly opposed to Senor Polavieja. Weyler is believed to be aiming nt an outright dictatorship in his own personal interest, and is known to have promised the highest and most lucrative places to his military follow* ers. The queen, however, is firmly convinced that Polavieja will, when the time comes, prove more than a match tor Weyler. Wbtn Um Great Danger Lias. The great danger in the situation is that the military element is considered as offering the only solution of the present difficulties, which party passion has so embittered that cool-head-ed men fear an era of pronunciamentos, dictatorship and civil war. Mora BaboUlaa la Formosa. Tacoma, Wash., Sept. 18.—Mail advices from Japan state that another formidable rebellion against Japanese rule has broken out in Formosa, this time in the southern part of the island. Two battles have been fought one near Talchu, the other near Taihoku. The tribes were defeated by the Japanese troops and the police. Many were killed and wonnded on each ride, but details are not obtainable. The rebellion is the outcome of an attempt by the Japanese administration. to extend its jurisdiction ores the semi-savage tribes.

ber of. Spanish soldiers, in the island is said to place the aggregate at 100,D00, and it is understood that it is proposed that the men shall carry with, them their arms, ammunition, material and equipments. It is estimated that the end of Feb- — ruary will hare come before the evacuation of the island is completed, as the soldiers must embark in Spanish vessels. It is suggested that this will be an advantage to both countries, the United States haring opportunitv to acclimatize its men during the winter months, as it is proposed that the American government shall land troops to occupy each post simultaneously with its evacuation, not leaving any post unguarded at any time. Flench Officer* Ejected from a Theater. At the Tacon theater last night there was produced a play based upon the Dreyfus trial, in which Dreyfus was protrayed throughput as an innocent victim of conspiracy in the French army.' From the start the sympathy- „ of the audience for Dreyfus was plainly manifested. Four Frenchmen, one of whom* is supposed to have been an officer of the French gunboat Fulton, now lying in. the harbor, occupied a box in the first. tier. Ail of them carried boatswains’ whistles, and at the first insinuation against the honesty of the trial they began to blow the whistles and to loudly hiss the players. A scene of indescribable tumult followed, the entire-, audience rising iu defense-of .Dreyfus. The Frenchmen were forcibly ejected, and the performance was continued, without further interruption. One of the Frenchmen, he whowas thought to be an officer of the Fulton, refused to give. his name at the statiouhouse to which the party was taken after being ejected from, the theater aud was locked up. Uen. lllauco has prohibited the future production of the play in Havana.. A Row In n Cafe Between Cabana and Spaniard a. A difference of opinion between Cubans and Spanish officers in a prominent cafe here yesterday morning resulted in an exchange of abusive language and a free fight. The disturbance was promptly quelled by the police and the ringleaders were arrested.. The disorder is said to hare been provoked by the Cubans.
