HER PEOPLE REVOLT

Spain’s Latest Action Causes Indignation at Home. ANGRY MOB FILLS MADRID’S STREETS The I prlslnu In Canned by the Cablnet'» Decision to Snipend Hostilities in Cuba—More Soldiers Sall for the Islaud. j Madrid, April 11.—Spain may have to decide very quickly between a war ibroad and a revolution at home. The labmet's decision of Saturday to suspend hostilities in Cuba has borne fruit in scenes of turbulence Sunday and Sunday night which indicate a perilous condition of affairs. The demonstrations began as the crowd was returning from the bull light. A boisterous party recognized Gen. Castelvi, bourbon pretender to the throne of France, Who was wearing a scarf of the national colors. The crowd immediately raised cries of: “Viva Espalia!” “Viva Cuba!” This outburst took place in front of the presidency, and Senor Aguilera, the civil governor of Madrid, rushed into the crowd and by personal persuasion succeeded in restoring a measure of . quiet. But the -incident seemed to be the signal’for a crystallization of the discontent that has been forming since Saturday, and Sunday night at ten o’clock the Puerto del Sol was tilled with a noisy, dangerous crowd that seemed ready for violence. At that, hour a large body of police was drawn up near the Hotel de Paris, where the* civil governor was dining. Occasionally the cry, “Viva Espana!” would be raised and reechoed by a thousand voices. Senor Aguilera rushed into the thickest of the mob, brandishing a stick hot hitting nobody. Senor Aguilera is a i..a:> of gigantic proportions and the p<.. d individual in Madrid; The police acted admirably and the military were kept in reserve at the barracks in case of an emergency.

At 10:30 a large crowd was stiM parading the Puerto del Sol, crying “Long live Spain” and “Long live the army-.” The'civil governor was among them, promenading up and down and begging them to disperse peacefully. The crowd, relying upon the kind-heartedness of the governor,,whom the population of Madrid adores, refused to disperse, and was bent on visiting the Military club to make a demonstration of sympathy. Long after midnight the demonstrations continued in favor Of the army ami against the government. The mob visited the Military club and the offices of the liberal newspapers. Many were injured. At a late hour it was reported that the crowd had dispersed ajid only small groups of stragglers remained in the streets. The vicinity of Gen. Woodford’s residence and the I’Uited States legation had been deserted. To pacify the clamorous factions all sorts of explanations and theories in justification of the government’s course are adroitly put in circulation. Minister of War’s View. El Imparcial (independent) says that Lieut. Gen. Correa, minister of war, in a conversation with several people expressed himself as follows: “It is an error to Say that the government has granted an armistice to the rebels. I would never give that before leaving the ministry, because it would be the same thing as recognizing the belligerency of the rebels. The government has granted the wishes of the powers that we should cease hostilities during the delay which Gen. Bhanco judges prudent for preparing peace. I acceded to a cessation of hostilities, because to refuse the wishes of the powers would be to divorce Spain from the world. If I left the cabinet I should be placing my successor in an awkward position. “Gen. Bianco will probably publish a proclamation of truce and_also another offering indulgent terms during the cessation of hostilities. If, during this period, there are Important submissions and the United States withdraws its ships from the neighborhood of Cuba and the Philippines, all will be well, and peace will aoon be reached. Otherwise th* Cuban war will be continued, and the powers will be obliged to demand that the United States maintain absolute neutrality, and l enforce a dissolution of the filibustering committee in New York. The armistice is not to prevent the Spanish government from continuing Its mill ary preparations and placing th* peninsula, the Canarie.r, the Itelearlc island* and I’orto Rico in a state of defense.” A'cvt npiiper Continent. El Imparcial severely slashes the government for, after boasting that it would not grant an unsolicited truce to rebels, “yielding to brute force what It refused to yield to the moral influence and fatherly COUr.s Is Of the pope.” it ..ays; With the deepest sadness, before the manifest incapacity of thf present government, and r«membcrlng also that Internal peace Is highly in danger, we to-day proclaim the following conditions as necessary for honor: A 2n days' truce for the rebe.s' submission and the concentration of our naval forces at Cuba. If the truce lapses without result, then ceaseless war against the rebels and against the United Staten ” The Epoca (conservative) says that it now lies with America to decide whether she will cooperate with Spain for peace. If a new demand be made or President McKinley’s message be not conciliatory, It will be clearly proved that America wishes to provoke a quarrel. The N'aclonal (conservative organ of Romero Robledo) Is bitterly hostile to the cabinet's concessions and says the government called In the European.powers to witness a scene of Spain's disgrace.' For tills language the Naclonal was confiscated. El Globo (liberal) stoutly defends the policy of the government In granting an armistice for the sake of peace and to avoid a rupture with the United States. The paper considers the measure In nowise disparaging to the military prestige of Spain. El Globo devotee Its leading editorial to telling the nation that the government has carried out Spain's wishes under the circumstances, yielding only to the voice *.f united Europe, and not to the United States. It says: "Europe will now support Spain should the United States continue to aid the Insurrection. S{*aln |« stronger than ever.” Spain Sends Troops. Ignition, April 11. —A diiqxitch to the Iktily Telegraph from Gibraltar says the Spanish cruisers Cristobal Union ami Infun tn Marla Teresa have left Uatlir. for a tlesfi r.ption undivulged, with six battalions, tach- 1.1)00 strong. Additional troops, the dispatch as-erts, will Jeaye Cadiz by the mall steamer* during the next few days for Cuba.'

MAY NUMBER ONE HUNDRED.

Slxty-NLne Bodies of Victims of Avalanche on the Talyn Trail So Far Recovered. K _ Seattle, Wash., April 11. —Later details received here Sunday from Alaska Increase the horror of the, avalanche in the Chilkat pass instead of lessening it. Sixty-nine dead bodies hav£ thus far been recovered and the names of 150 missing have been reported as unaccounted for. It is barely possible that some of these had succeeded in cross-

ing the pass before the avalanche occurred. A conservative estimate is that between 75 and 100 persons were killed. The work of rescue has continued night and day ever since Sunday week, being gradually more systematized, and consequently meeting with better results. Thus far work has been confined to the outskirts of the slide in the hope of rescuing those who are injured but not yet dead. The main body of the avajauche, which is estimated to be 50 feet deep* and 150 yards long, has not yet been touched. If there are any bodies underneath they cannot be rescued in time to save life. Four men were taken out alive after they had been buried for 19 hours. Eye-witnesses say that the great mountain of snow, ice, earth and rocks rolled down the dizzy Taiya heights with the speed and rumble of a mighty train, burying beneath its weight scores of human beings. To those who were in the path of thd destroyer escape was impossible. They were overwhelmed in an instant by the great weight of this mass of matter. In places the snow was stacked up from 30 to 50 feet in height. Tn nearly every ease death appears to have resulted from suffocation. The bodies of 14 were brought to this city on the returning vessels. There were two distinct avalanches, the main one about midway between Stone House and the Seales. The first, while resulting in three deaths, was a miniature affair as compared with the second.

Washington, April 11. —Representatives Lorimer and Mnnn, of Chicago, received a telegram from Gov.
