On August 12 last It was announced that Senor Sagasta had made a fresh declaration on the political situation. He said affairs were practically growing worse In Cuba , and continued terioim In the Philippine Islands. lie added that a liberal ministry would be ready to apply autonomy to Cuba. Later , referring to the Cuban insurrection , ho said the uprising Instead of dying out was spreading considerably. Ho added that the situation In the Philippine islands was serious. Ho said the troubles of Spain could not be viewed with indifference. In 'conclusion ho said : "In my opinion the CortfH will not meet , but If they do meet their existence Is ephemeral. " Regarding the United States and 'Spain the liberal min ister refused to express himself. SERN THROUGH ENGLISH EYES. LONDON , Sept. 29. A dispatch to the Dally Mall from Madrid says : "The solution of thu crisis depends up on the policy to be adopted toward the United States. Liberal politicians declare they will stoutly resist America's pretensions. "General Azcarraga , In a long Interview with the iiueun regent today , explained the situation. It Is believed that he asked her majesty If she was ready to confirm the gov ernment In necessary powers In view of the attitude of the United Stairs. In the In terview be b'ummoned the cabinet. The meet ing was attended by Senor Reverter , the excommunicated - communicated minister of finance , and Senor Cos-Cayon , minister of the Interior , both of whom tendered their rcblgmtlons. shortly after the premier tendered the resignation of the entire cabinet. " DISCI s.snu nv TIII ; DIPLOMATS. CaliiiK'l lli-NlKiiiitliiii CaiiNi's O.ullf H Flutter \Vnslillintim. . WASHINGTON , Sept. 2 ! ) . The news of the Spanish cabinet crisis was flist brought to the attention of the olllclals of the Statu de partment and diplomatic olllclals through the Associated Press bulletin from Madrid , and up to a Into hour dispatches from no other source on the subject arc forthcoming. It cunnot bo said that the event caused 1 surprise amoiiK the ofilcials of the State de partment or among the members of the diplomatic corps In Washington. A careful Inspection of the cable news for the last week had left the Impiesslon Unit the cabinet erected in hactn after the death of Canovas c'Mild not be expected to survive long. There wore several reasons for this explanation , hut perhaps the principal ono was the belief I that thu dissensions among the supporters of t the government caused by thu personal en counter by thu duke of Tetuan , the minister of foreign nffalrn , and ono of the leaders of [ the dissident conservatives , had not been healed , but had only been bridged over tern , porarlly. The dissident conservatives at that time Ins'stfd ' on the resignation of the duke ns a condition of tbctr further support of the government. The government depended on a union of all elements opposed to liberals for Ha exlstenro. This was a threatening rondl. lion and the crisis was only averted through Bti'ciiiHius efforts of strong leaders. As to what will follow tha resignation of the cabinet oltlclaU hero are in the dark. Secretary Sherman does not believe it will materially affect the relations of Spain to ward thi ) United States or Cuba , which seems to Indicate an expectation on hlu part that when ; ho rabluet Is reformed It will be still of , \ eoiut'rvatlve tendency. On the other hand high ofilcials In the administration ex pect that u liberal cabinet under Senor Sa- Kustu will bo erected on thu ruins of the Azcarrnga cabinet. If this should bo the cato tliti future Is held to bo full of promise for Cuba , for It U recalled that the liberals have not hesitated to expend human life and trcasuru in the effort to carry out thu re pressive conservative program for the conduct of thu wur. It Is not believed that tbu lib erals aru prepared to go to the length of promising Cuba freedom , but from the ex pressions of Iho leaders of the party It U hoped that they are willing to grant o lib eral a measure of homo rule and autonomy to the Ulaud that Spanish sovereignty would retain not a eh red In the way of a fuw prefer ential duties , and perhaps the appointment of some officials corresponding to the gov ernor general of Canada named by the Dill- lah crown. An Incident to the selection of a liberal cabinet , it U expected , would be the restora tion of Martinez Cumpos to a place where he would be In a position to carry out the program u ( the reformed government In Its Cuban policy. Among diplomatic ofHclale the resignation of the Spanish cabinet excited the keenest t interest and was the chief topic throughout thu evening. Thu Spanish minister left for Lenox an hour before the first word of ihu reilgnattonti bad been received. He had ( ell there was no indication of important development * at Madrid uud ho would un i- doubtedly have remained hero had he an ticipated the Impending crisis. All official advices are being forwarded direct to Lenox. The ministry , it wax explained by diplo matic officials entirely familiar with the facts , l conservative throughout. It wan chosen after the assassination of Canovas and was regarded as a continuance of the Canovas regime. At the time of UB selec tion It was considered temporary as Iho queen regent was then at San Sebastian , without that opportunity of full conference with thu leaders , Including the leader of the opposition , which takes place on the forma tion of a now cabinet. For this rcanon the resignations aru not entirely unexpected , al though they were not considered Imminent at this time. \ strong Impression prevails In diplomatic circles that Scnor Sagastii the eminent liberal leader , will be called to form a cab'net. The consi-rvatltes hive a majority In the Cortes at this time , so that the formation of a Sa- gasta cabinet would necessitate the dissolu tion of the Cortes and an appeal to the coun try. There Is s.id ! to be little doubt that this would result In the return of a heavy liberal majority , owing to the strong feeling said to exist against the oonscrvatlvo minis try which has Just laid down Its commis sion. sion.Hut Hut whether It be Sagasta or another , the changu is felt to entail Important consider ations on the Cuban policy. The present mlnlFtry has been an aggressive one , sup porting General Weyler and refusing to ac cept his resignation , although a strong cle ment at Madrid has urged a more lenient policy. The choice of Sagasta would un doubtedly , It Is said , leid to the recall of Weyler and a material modification of the aggressive policy In Cuba. In thu c\ent of the formation of a liberal ministry Minister Dupuy DeLome would un doubtedly submit his resignation at Wash ington , as Is usual tin a change of palltlca ) control of the ciblnut. and the minister is , moreover , a conservative In politics , sr.iici.TO : < : Antrim * iinnxiiAxn.

( Now York World Cablegram Special Telegram ) The sensa. tlonal story Is published here that the I'ulted States government Is In negotiation with Denn.ark with a view to acquiring Greenland. It Is alleged that thu hoisting of the British Hag over Balllnland is attributed to a de'blro of the Ottawa government to checkmate Washington's reported' designs upon Greenland. The United States is de clared to have been actuated by the knowl edge that the Hudson straits arc destined to become a part of tlio future great grain carrying routu between Winnipeg and Liver pool In rivalry with the American land routrs. * A Canadian ofilclal Interviewed by the Evening News today Is reported to have said : "In spite of the discredit thrown upon the lialllnland htory , I have every reason , to believe that it has lately come to the knowl edge of the Ottawa government that If the Yankees could succeed by force , technical conditions or bullying methods known to the Monroe doctrinaires In asserting a right tea a more northerly port than Bangor , Me. , It would mean endless trouble and arbitration between their government and ours. " Lieutenant Governor Mackintosh of the Northwest territory , comprising Klondike , referring to the Balllnland story , said : "It Is all British territory right up to the north pole and there Is no need to assert formal sovereignty. Any person who discovers the pole will have to reckon with me , for It Is all within my province. " Lord Salisbury's attention Is Invited to the possibility of America buying Greenland , as it bought Alaska , thereby injuring England' * transatlantic commerce nnd providing new sources of International friction. < ; iuiic : MI.MSTHV MAY mssinx.

NBW OHLBANS , Sept. 2 ! ) . Four deaths and twenty-six new cases Is the yellow fever record for today , exceeding In number tht cases of any day since the scourge first made Its appearance In the city. There arc various reasons given for the tptcad of the disease , but the principal ones are two that the weather turned warm again and owing to the much wider field to cover the Hoard of Health has had some dlfllcuUy In getting every house as closely guarded as was possible when the cases here were few In number and the trained officials of the board were stationed about the quarantined j | I houses. Imprisoned Inmates of houses have I been going over back fences and sneaking , i out of sldo doors In order not to be confined , ! and the result has been that more germs havij I been scattered and rapidly developed In these warm days. In no other season have the authorities been more strict In cuiaran. tlnlng houses and Isolating Inmates who might be around the sick , and the result has been that every possible effort Is being made by certain elements of the community to get the better of the board. The Increased num. her of cases here has caused ni general alarm , because the Increase of deaths has not been In proportion. The death rate Is a trifle under 12 per cent , whereas five or six days ago it was shown to be above lii. The conclusion , therefore , Is natural that there Is no Increase In the malignancy of the disease. The authorities here still believe that for B > nup time longer thu new cases will occa sionally exceed the number on the books to day , but they arc singularly one In the opin ion that the disease cannot obtain the pro portions of an epidemic.

Ex-Senator Carey wan Introduced and ac- epted the gavel In a short speech , oxpress- ng his thanks. He said his purpose was note o dictate what the convention should do , but simply aid It In arriving at Us varlotu lecialons. lie then spoke of the purposes i ml alms of the irrlgitlon Intercut. .Mi' , 'arey expressed his wonder at the productlve- ics-'s of Nebraska without irrigation and wou- Jcred If Nebraska would not now produce about all Hint was needed when Its fleldn ivcro fully Irrigated. He said that wuslcru liooplo had a right to be proud of what had Ijecn done In the west. The city of Lincoln last your came near rapturing the Unllcil States. The tepresentaiivcs of the University of Nebraska arc Been all over the west and ono knows them as HOOII as he sees them , for their knowledge ciops out In their con versation. The people do not know wliat : hu wealth of the western purl of the United Stales Is. Mr. Carey then spoke In brief of the resources of the west. So far as I bit country is concerned , the people arc always ahead of the prophets of the future. There Is room In the west for at least 75.000.000 people. The people an ; to be agrlculturlslK. Theio Is a need of srjentlflo and rartli-al men to aid In thu development of thlr ur- rltory. As to placis Mr. Carey said that the first ) hlng necessary to more perfect development was to take care of the water from the Rocky mountain streams , to prevent the hoods and conserve the cx.iefs water for the dry ca- sons. The people want that kind of legisla tion that will Insure protection to capital invested In irrigation. TMs will Insure rtirther Imvestment. In ten or fifteen years the people will not bi > moved by a recital of : helr Ills. They will be appealed to by men tion of their desire for advancement and their enthusiasm for new projects. 1'rof.
