MADRID , Spain , May 3O.-New ( iork
World Cablegram-Special Telegram.-The
impression is gaining ground in political
and military circles that Geneal Weyler
and his principal lieutenants % ill shortly return -
turn to Spain. Senor Sagasta , the chief of
the liberals ; Senor Silveia , the chief of the
dissentient conservatives ; Marshal Campos ,
Gererais Pando , Canellas and Echque , re-
eetUy returned from Cuba , hawe &ll publicly
stated that they believe General Weyler
will resign in conscq ire of the restrictions
the government persiU. , in putting upon his
policy. It is thought that General Weyler
is only waiting to sciso upen two precxta
for retiring , the thwarting of his scheme of
piobibiting tobacco exportation and the revision -
vision of the schooner Competitor caae next
month by the supreme court ot naval ap-
peals.
The Madrid press Is attacking the govern-
meet severely , charging It with having
caused in one year the failure of Marshal
Campos , by not allowing him to carry out
the ptovislons oL the borne rule Ias , when
he landed in Cuba , and the failure of Cap-
fain General Weyler , by not backing him
up properly in the policy of severity , whIch
was most to favor with the majority of
Spaniards.
Premier Canoras and the miniser of
war , General Azearraga , persist in denying
that General Weyler has any reason for
complaining , and , therefor.e , for resigning.
Should General Weyler retire , his successor
will be Marshal Prime de Rivera. who never
line been in Cuba , and is chiefly conspicuous
for his reactIonary activity In Spanish
domastic politics in the last tuenty-tWO
years , He was governor of the Phiilipptne
islands for several years , and now is cap-
tam general of Madrid. He is high In
the favor of the court and of Premier Cairn-
was , and is said to be disposed to carry out
the views of the cabinet in regard to Cuba ,
and Spain's relations with the United States
by trimming between the extremes of severity -
ity and conciliation that cauied Weyler and
Campos to come to grief.

LONDON , t1ay 30.-The most Interesting
feature of the week has been an article In
the Nineteenth Century , purporting to give
the true motive or reason fo Dr. .Tameson's
raid into the Tranavani and seeming to be
Cecil Rhodes' plea In juatlflcatibn. It has , in
any case , revived the South African scan-
dxl and attracted a great deal of attention.
The author of the article is Seymour Fcrt ,
who was private secretary to Sir Bhnry
Brcugham Loch , when he was British cam-
missioner in South Africa. Mr. Fort de-
dares that Cecil Rhodes was determined -
termined to push the revolution , and ,
learning that President Kruger had entered
into t secret political entente. vith Germany ,
which presented such immediate and imminent -
minent danger to the Imperial and Afri-
kander interest in South Africa that Mr.
Rhodea resolved "at afl hasardo" to upset
the Hollander-German cabal , It. is claimed
that be had no intention of overthrowing the
South African republic.
Fart further asserts that the immediate -
diate object of the raid was to secure documentary -
mentary proofs of the alliance between the
Transvaal and Germany , the necesmry documents -
ments , it is believed , being in the possession -
sion of President Kruger at Pretoria.
Rhodes , It is said , had ale , abandoned
despairingly all attempts to persuade President -
dent Kruger to co-operate with the Imperial
Afrikander interest after an Interview between -
tween them , which took place in lSi'4 ' , which
it ii , alleged convinced him &t the Ti-anrvaal
presIdent's determined hortility.to Great Brit-
sin. The orglnal plan of the raid , Fort says ,
was to capture Pretoria. Had that been car-
rfed out , the fort's ammunition and even
the town itarif would have been in
the hands of the reformers in a single
night. Every detail was determined on in
advanne ; but at the laat moment , It seems ,
the nerve of the Johannesbugars Sailed.
Fort cantends that it was never Intended to
interfere with the liberty c5 President Kruger
and the officIaTe of the South African repub-
lie. He concludes by pointing to the attitude -
tude of Gcrniy subsequent to the raid and
to the utterances of the German press so en-
deuce of the close relations which existed
between Pretoria and Berlin.
RHODES GIVES TROUBLE.
The address of Colenel Cecil Rhodes ( he
was elected a colonel of volunteers ) to the
] 3ritih South African troops at Pongo on
Wednesday , has also served to revive the
bitter memories of the Transvaal raid. He
sketched his arrangements for ending the
rebe lion , building fots and raisIng the police -
lice force , etc. But It. 1 pointed out hare
that theec duties do net belong to Cecil
Rhodes , but to General Sir Frederick Car-
rington , .formerly British cotnmander of
Gibraltar , who was recently appointed to the
commana of the British forces operating
againe the Matabeles and to Sir Richard
Martin , the newly appointed adminis.trator
of the territory of the British Chartered
South African company. The English newspapers -
papers remind Rhodes that he returned to
Matat.eleland a private person , and that he
baa net power from the secretary for the
eclonies , as Mr. Joseph Chamberlain has an-
nciunced , to "move a single police. "
Consequently , the speech that Rhodes made
at Pongo is likely to increase the distruet
of the Boors , by conveyng to them the impression -
pression that he has military administrative
powers.

FRANCE GAINS A POINT ,
The dispatch to the Times from Cairo , regarding -
garding the decision of th mixed tribunal
upon the appeals of the French sydnicate
against the use of the Egyptian reserve fund
for the expenses of the campaign up the Nile ,
has caused a decidedly bad Impression bare.
The Times correspondent wired that It was
an open secret that the tribune had came to
the decision that the Egyptian government
cannot make war agaInst the kbsiifa , or
even rettet a Seudanese invasion. vithout the
content of each member of the debt cam-
miss.on , This decision , which , it is
said , will be announced on Monday , In
every way supports the French cantentlon
and evidently means that Great Britain wculd
have to advance Egypt the funds neeary
to 'ush the expedition forsard. It Is true
that the matter can be referred to the court
of appeals , but there very little hope that
the latter will reverse the decision of the
mixed tribunal , as it is more governed by
politlca than by judiclal coneideratlons and
France has more representatIves in the court
of appeals than the other potters ,
In the meantime the news from the front
is very ratisfactory to ttte military author-
iiios Troops and atore.s are advancing up
the Nile ivitbout a hitch anywhere and di-
setters from the DervIshes report that the as-
rival of flrittah Indian troops at Suakim has
created a strong impreision in the Soudan ,
as the dervishes. it is said , now anticipate
a combined advance from Suakim and
Akasheh. The khailfa is said to greatly fear
an attack iijou Ilerber , and Osman Digma
is reported to be greatly diacouraged by his
recent difeat and to have advieed the
kbaiifa and that unless reinforced he in.
tends to retire stiii further.
The news at Lhe..troublco in Crete creates
touch excitement here. The Cretan , It is
said. arc determined not to rest until griev.

MOSCO\V , May 30.-A terrible panic re-
suIting from the great crush of People at
the popu.ar feast here today , in honor of the
coronation of the czar , caused the trampling
to death of many peple.
In anticipation of the grand bo'iday and
popular banquet on the Khedyns'y plain tens
of thousands of people began trooping toward
the 1'etrov'ky palace , In front of which the
plain is situated , during the earliest hours
this morning. In fact , so much interest was
taken in the open air banquet that thousonds
reached the grounds last evcing and c.mpcd
there or in the immediate vicinity during the
night in order to make sure of obtaining
good positions today. The majority of the.a
people caine on foot , but caine caine in the
oddest kinds of vehicles , country carts and
turnouts of the most primitive descriptions ,
and others traveled on horseback.
On the Kbodynsky or Kbodijinekoje plain
long lines of rough tables flanked by rougher
benchc.s bad been erected. These lines of
tables looked like Immovab'e reginents of
soldiers. on the trenches of some extenrive
series of fortification. It was at first arranged -
ranged to accommodate 400,000 people , but in
view of the Immense crowds aesembled in
and about the city at the coronation fete
extra tables and benchen were hastily erected
and every effort was made to provide seating
room and a hearty meal fcr 400,00G people.
Twice that number was desirous of taking
part in the feast , but the authorities do-
clded that. there must be a limit to the nuns-
her , and the figure was fixed at 501,000.
To feed this multitude an army of cooks
and waiters was gathered together. the army
bake houses , were taxed to their utmost capacity -
pacity and 500,000 mugs , each bearing the
portrait of the czar and czarina , were ordered -
dered for presentation to the people taking
part in , the greet banquet. , Thousands of
cattle , trilnioada of provisions and wago.
Ioidsof liquid refres'hments"were sent to the
iii.Ina diHn ts 'weel 'atd.thia morning-al
was in readiness for the gigantic meal.
In anticipation of the assembling of an ins-
manse crowd and the possibility of disorder
strc'ng forces of police were detailed for duty
on the plain , 'mulch Is some three mties
outside bt this city , and on the road to St.
Petersburg. In addition several detachments
of infantry and 'ca'i'alry were stationed in
the vicinity in order to support the police
should such step be necesry.
DESPERATE SCRAMBLE FOR FOOD.
B3 dawn today the mass of peasants about
the tables was really encrmous and they were
all desperately hungry , some of them having
fasted , by choice of necessity , for nearly
twenty-four hours. The police did everything -
thing possdble to keep back the crowd , hut
suddenly the masses , controlled by acme inexplicable -
explicable Impulse or Impatient tes get at the
food , pressad forward , swept everything before -
fore them and overturned tables and benches
a it made of grass , trampling hundreds on-
derfoot ant ! crushing the Lfe out of a great
number of people , the oldest , weak naturally -
rally , suffering the mcot , and one poor woman
who gave birth to a child during the excitement
ment wa.s trampled to death. The fate of
the Infant is not definitely known , but it is
believed to have shared the fate of its
mother
Among the dead found on Khodynsky
plain were ladies evidently of high rank ,
dressed In the finest silk and adorned with
the richest jewels. 'The police barracks , to
which the bodies of the dead were taken by
the authorities , are besieged with persons
beseeching for news of friends and rein-
lives , The scenes at the barracks , where the
process of Identification Is going on , Is terrible -
rible in the extreme , The remains of the
iliad will a I be conveyed during the night
to a cemetery , where a large morgue is
located ,
The disaster , it is now explained , was due
mainly to the absence of the police , who had
not arrived at so early an hour in the morn-
lug at the scene where the festivities were
soheduied to take place. Hundreds of
thoueanda of persons of all grades of bo-
ciety had gathered together on this plain
at the time the dis'astcr occurred. Only
about 1,000 attendants were In charge , and
they seemed to be unable to control the snob.
Hoping to : esscn the pressure of the aeeeiu-
bled hundreds of thousinds. all snowing toward -
ward a ccmmon center , they tossed the
packages of presents into the midst of the
crowd. This seemingly precipitated the
panic , since a scramble to obtain the gifts
ensued , and the hollow piece of ground near
the canter formed a death trap for thousanda.
The bui'dingc on all sides of the plain ,
where , by the way , Napoleon once concentrated -
centrated his troops before moving upon the
city , are in many cases being used as tern-
porary hospitals , and the soldiers have been
rendering great servIces in removing the
dead. Further time must elapee before ac-
gurete figures as to the number actually
kiiled and the number of peri.ona who are
victims of the disaster , but who are only
suffering from inucies , is ascertained.
CROWDS COULD NOT WAIT.
This may be said to have put an end to
all coronation festivities , so far as tttc gen.
eral public is concerned. The disaster occurred -
curred between S and 6 o'clpak this morning.
It was intended the banquet should corn-
meLee before noon , but the Immense throng
which had gathered around the sheds where
the snugs were to be presented and the
food distributed became so dense that the
attendants stare overpowered and thrown io
the ground in the mad struggles which
c3n'lnenced for food and the gifts , many at
these attendants being numbered among the
cad. The police made desperate eorta to
central the people , but all theIr attempts
proved futile , and men , women and children
were trampled upon by hundreds , the
abreks and groans of the victims betug
beard from afar. For a time the cincials
in charge of the banquet lost their beads
entirely , The crowds seemed to have gone

FIGURES THAT ARE OFFICIAL.
It woo not until nearly Itt o'clock tonight
that the first emchstl statement of the uses-
ter was made public. some people claiming
this was dane in order to avoid putting a
sudden etols to the festivities on the plain.
which might have resulted in a panic and
still mere serious lot's cf life. The people In
this city 'refuse to bel'eve ' that the dicaster
is as great as published. A bulletin says that
upward of 113 bodies have been recovered
and that 470 pcrsono have been injured. But
very shortly afterward , at 11 o'clock exactly ,
an official notice was poi'ted saying that the
list of dead total up 1,135 persons , including
thune 'is'lio died from their injuries alter
having been removed from the plain.
The czar has givers orders that the sum
of 1,030 rouhles be given to each bereaved
family and that the victims be buried at hic.
expense.
The passages between various bootba 1.e-
caine the scene of the wildest strugglse.
here it was that the roost were killed. Dc-
pito the beet , efforts of the Cnssacks and of
the police , who unfortunately arrived too
late to be of great service , the crowd cost-
atantly increased. It was a bug time before
the plain could be cleared enough to alto's
the work of ruc' to proceed. Many of the
injured were conveyed to the various Loapi.
tahs , which were anon filled to overflowing
Hundreds of persons who were wounded sere
removed to their own homes or taken to
private reeldences. ' Most of the victims were
women and children.
The police and military eventually
eucceeding in reotorlug order , they took away
the dead and injured and jsreparationis were
made to proceed with the banquet as if nothing -
ing unusual had happened.
As this a the first serioua accident reported -
ported 5:0cc : the festivities ocmmenced , It
has attracted much attention ani has cast
quite a geom over the city. The French am-
bseador , Comte de Montebello , was ached-
uled to give a ball at the French em-
baasy tiit evening , but this feature
of the celebratiOns has been abandoned , although -
though 'i'ery large e.iip of money lied been
spent upon the preparations , France being
greatly desirous cf testifying to her friendship -
ship for Russia by making a disp'ay upon
this occasion which would pass into history.
The decorations for the embassy have coat
a fc'rtun ! . M'lt's of most vauable carpets
have been laid , fruits , flotters , flhea and
birds frcm all lands have been imported for
the supper , and nothing has been spared to
make the French embassy ball one of the
most striking features of the coronation fetes.
CONTINUING TIlE FESTIVITIES.

This was Decoration day , but the recent
griefs of the citizena of the town had for
the time being effaced from their minds the
memories of those who passed away in tb
war of the rebellion and there were no
servlccja of any kind , although elaborate arrangements -
rangoments had been mode during the early
portion of the week. Immense crowds of
pcoile vls'itod the ruins today and it is cx-
pocted that tomorrow there will be T5,000
visitora , as excursions will be run for 100
miles out of the twenty-three railroads enter-
tug the city ,
CHAOS AND CONFUSION.
By slow degrees St. Louis Is now
recovering from the business paraly.
sis ' caused by' the awfu. atoms. Some ot
the principal thoroughfares that were choked
tip with wreckage. have been opened and a
few eftho street' car lines 'have. been. started ,
but the telephone cystem of the town Ia
practicaily useless , The aide streets through
the storm-wrecked district are still in chaotic -
otic condition. Telegraph and telephone
roles with a tangled network of wires , roofs
and houses. uprooted trees , wagons and ye-
hicks of all kinds and the scattered remains -
mains of whole buildings are still strowa
through most of them so that tratflc is ta ,
marty instances impossible. It will require
weeks to restore some of the streets to their
normal condition.
The number of dead is hourly growing
greater as the work of clearing a'say the
ruins progresses. It was said by officIals at.
the cta- ! hospital the day after the storm
that no one was crushed in the ruins. They
are now beginning to change their minda
it has been ascertained that fifty to seventy-
five of the patients and four or five eta-
Ployes are inhering. Until this morning
practically nothing toward exploring tb
ruins had been done. But a large force of
men were put to work there at daylight
today. This was done only at the loud dc-
: nands of the people who had friends at Us.
hospital during the storm and 'isbo hare not
been heard of since. Fattier Kenrlck of
St. Vincent's church , ttho has been attend-
inc to the spirltuai wants of the patients
in the hospital for years , es's that fifty
bodies will be taken out if not more.
Thin demand for houses and flats by those
who were rendered homeless by Wednes.
day's tornado is great and real estate men
think there are not sufficient vacant hcuseo
in St. Louis to supply the needs of the pee-
pie. More than half of the available supply
has been exhausted and the real estate of-
flees arc constantly besieged by applicants
for quartdra. It is eetimated that 7,000
homes were so damaged as to render them
uninhabItable. Real estate agents say that
the number of vacant bocies and flats at.
the time of the storm uould not exceed
6,000 , and In any event seine families will
have to go temporarily without shelter or
depend upon their moore fortunate neighiborn.
Dr. St.arkioff fears to say how many are
dead upder the srcckage. Ir Sutter eati-
mates the number at tsienty.five , but would
not be surprised If It runs to ores that fig-
use.
RELIEVING THE VICTIMS.
As the fund grossa for the relief of the
victims of the tornado practical work is
being dope in giving the sufferers the help
of which they stand in such sore need. No
delay is being had in this most important
work. It Is realized the sufferers 'must have
relief at once. The Merchants' exchange re-
lid committee is doing its stork as iapidly
as possible and Ia sending wagons and provisions -
visions into all parts of the stricken districts.
An army of almost 300 men , with seventy-
five large wagons , started from the Cupplc
block early this morntrg to carry &sai.t&ace
to the suiferers , Their mission was to cc-
move the bmuehold goods of the unfoflungte ,
to places of safety from the eIemets. Jo
ninny cases the victims had no piece to mde
their goods , and the Simmons hardware cam-
pasty tendered the use of the sarebouse on
? inth street , between Clarke and Walnut
Etfeeti. Tue work which La being done as
a help to the regular relief committee , was
carried on systematically.
The suffering witheased by the gentlemen
who canvassed the district. Friday , they
state , was iodeeerlbable , They found entire
families almost starving. At one place thay'
found a woman who au about to become
confined without. a place to lay liar head.
The stork being carried on from the Cup.

Merchants' exchange relief committee , but
supplementary to it. Today the MerebantY
exchange committee supplied fifty families
with i5evi.Lons , ordering the geode of suer-
chants who , with their own wagon. , could
delIver chit-rn 'ivithiput delay , In addition the
wagons of the St. . Louis transfer company
had been phaged at the disposal of the coma-
