HAVANA , June 30. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) El Discus
sion , In an editorial , severely criticises
the statements made to the World reporter
by William Ryan on his return to the United
States , ono of which was that he had had
an interview hero in Havana with Antonlc
JIaceo , the commander of the Pinar de ]
lllo insurgents.Vc can assure our read
ers , " says El Discussion , "that Mr. Ryan
did not come to Cuba by Invitation of Gen
eral Lee , and that he was not authorized
by General Lee to make a statement. He
did not have a confidential talk with Gen
eral Lcc. and the consul general did not
escort him to the boat on leaving. He has
no official connection with the government
at Washington , nor with the consulate
here. "
The Army Journal says , speaking of the
United States : "While they attended to
their own business they were esteemed , but
each tlmo they tried to meddle with other
nations' affairs they have been discredited.
Spain Is too sensitive to suiter this Inter
ference , and will possibly stop It. "
A New York cable dispatch to El Discus
sion says that the rebel bazar there was a
failure. Pedro Albarran , brother of the
noted ParU specialist. Joaquln , has been In
vited to leave the Island.
Other noted persons will follow. A Mad
rid cable to El Discussion says that the re
cent evolutions of the American fleet were
Tory unsatisfactory , that there was a lack

WEST OF THE TROCHA. PIXAR DEL

crossed the trocha without being once the

the steps of the sentinels were plainly heart

west of the line are full of the victories o
Cascarajlcara , Somas del Rubl. Scchuza am

the closure rule. The liberal leader , Sir
William llarcourt , denounced the methods
which the conservative leader , Mr. Dalfour ,
was adopting In order to extricate the gov
ernment from the mess Into which It had
fallen through making too many election
promises and overweighting itself with Im
portant bills , which , like the education Mil
recently shelved for repairs. It has been un
able to carry In spite of Its overwhelming
majority , a fact for which the leadership of
Mr Italfour has trcn greatly blamed.
Sir Michael Hlrks-Beach , chancellor of the
exchequer , angrily retorted that the oppo
sition was the most factious ever seen and as
serted that Its tactics were rapidly reducing
parliamentary proceedings to little more
than a farce.
Mr. James H. Dalzlel , liberal , accused Ixird
Hugh Cecil , conservative ( fifth son of the
marquis of Salisbury ) , of deliberate and or
ganized Interference with the debate.
The speaker was appealed to. but ho de
clined to Interfere beyond exhorting the
members to bo more orderly during debate.
A little later Mr. Dalzlel characterized
Sir Michael Hicks-Reach's speech as being
"impertinent , " whereupon there were cries
of "withdraw. " The speaker suggested that
Mr. Dalzlel had not Intended to bo offensive
in his remark , and after some more
skirmishing , another clause of the bill was
closed.
This brought forth another storm of de
risive shouts from the opposition and Dr.
C. K. U. Tanner. Irish nationalist , was
heard to shout "gag. " For this the doctor
wan warned from the chair.
Mr. Chamberlain , colonial secretary , did
not remain throughout the night , but took
his departure after the first division , leaving
Mr. Dalfour to conduct the struggle on be
half of the ministry with such help as he
cculd gel from Mr. Chaplin , president of the
local government board , and other members
of the government. Sir William Harcourt
was one of the last to leave the chamber.
The bill was finally reported to the House
at about 8 o'clock and the third reading
