ADARKOUTLOOK FOR SPA
The Most Serious Crisis Since the
Monarchy Was Restored.
A STATEMENT BY CANOVAS
The Queen Regent to nave a 'Jou
ference with Sngasta and Gen.
Cairipos A Possibility that Canc
vns "Will Undertake tlicForumtlun
of a New Cabinet.
Madrid, June 3. The Queen Regent prc
eided at the cabinet council today. I'riitie
Minister Cnnovas del Castillo made a
lengthy statement, in which lie dwelt
upon a'l the aspects of the home and
colonial situation, and Spain's relations
with the United States. He declared that
a mere modification of the cabinet would
not meet the needs ot the situation, but if
the crown still had confidence in the
Conservative party and in htm, he would
remain in office and cope with the prob
lems. The Queen Regent expressed herself
as satisfied with the statement made by
the premiei , and asked him to continue in
office until the crisis should be soled.
In a subsequent inteniew Senor Canovas
eald that he believed that a solution or
the crisis would be difficult. All de
pended upon the result of the Queen
Regent's interview ivitn Gen. Martinez
Campos and Senor Sagasta, the leader of
the Liberal party.
Many of the newspaper, pmnounce the
crisis to be the most serious since the
monarchy was restored, chiefly because the
nation attaches the greatest importance to
the consequences the outcome "will hae
upon the Spanish possession of Cuba and
the relations with the United States.
The decision of the Queen Rescue to
take time to consider the situation and
to consult the leaders of the opposition
and the President of the Senate and House
of Representatives is tantamount to an
admission that the colonial policy of the
last two years hab been a failure.

by the uncompromising Spaniards, who
favor Wfyler's policy. El Coniercio, the
organ in Havana of the board of grocens
and Spanish mei chants, has published a
sensational editorial, in which the Ameri
can nation is grossly Insulted.
"We ought to spit in the faces of these
barbarians," says El Coniercio, "to show
our scorn."
The situation Is extremely grave here

ebullition of Spanish feeling. Consul Gen

It is said in this city that the resig

MILLIONS OF COUNTiiHFKITS.
Vast Operations of a Gang in the
West.
St. Louis, June 3. United States secret
sprvice agents in St. Louis, Kansas City,
Omaha, Denver, Salt Luke City, and Sun
Francisco are "working on a problem which
has caused them much worry and anxiety.
Itls the flooding or the West with counter
felt half dollarb, made ot coin silver The
circulation of these counterfeits is on the
increase, and Chief Hazen lias taken the
in itter up.
The counterfeit closely resembles gen
uine co-cent pieces, and the result Is thut
they arc having a wide circulation Many
of them have readied the Eastern States.
A rough estimate puts the amount of
these spurious half-dollars in circulation
at SI, 500,000, and the profits of the coun
terfeiters must be tremendous.
These coins are spurious only in the
sense tliat they are not authorized or
manufactured by the United States Govern
ment. The countcrfeiteib' profit is in the
price ot bullion. For 2 cents they can
purchase enough in the open maiket to
make a half dollar.
Tiie countcifciter's profit is at least 100
per cent on every coin.

PROSPERITY'S SLOW PACE
Mr. Bryan Calls Attention to
Broken Promise.
Labor Finds Plenty of Leisure to
Study the Money Question Bat
tle for Bituetuilibui Goes On.
Buffalo, N. Y., June3.-William J.Bryan
received an enthusiastic reception on enter
ing New York Statetoday. Three thousand
persons heard him lecture on "Bimetallism"
at Music Hall tonight. The piomised pros
perity, he 6aid, had not come. It "was un
usual for people who had been defeated in
a great convention to so soon resume the
contest, but as for him, the battle would
never end until gold monometallism had
been driven out of the country.
"I have no criticism," he said, "for
those who rast their Influence for the
Republican candidate. I don't feel so
bad about it as some of them do now."
Labor, he said, now had plenty of
leisure to study the money question, and
was studying it with the earnestness of a
a man who finds that he is in a burning
house and is looking for the fire escape.
Going into the history of financial legis
lation, he said:
"Thecampaignof 1896 will hememorable
in the history of this country because,
for the first time In this generation, a
plaJrm was written on the money Ques
tion that was so clear, so distinct, that no
one could misconstrue it if he tried."
Mr. Bryan ridiculed the Eending of a
commission to Europe on the financial
question. "They say the silver agita
tion Is what brought us to our present con
dition. Is It fair, then, just when we have
had confidence restored to us, and when
prosperity has come to each one of us, that
we should send a commission to open this
agitation, and rob Europe of these bless
ings?" Expressing his confidence in the future,
Mr Bryan said: "No tomb was ever made
so strong tnatitcould imprison a righteous
cause.'' Describing the influence of the
creditor class on public affairs, he said:
"Jf any one doubts it, let him run for
President on a free coinage platform."
Mr. Bryan will speak at a gathering of
the Knights of Pythias, at Toronto, to
morrow. He said tonight that there was
no truth in the report that he was going
around the world with Mrs. Bryan this
summer.

TIE DOOM OF LEWIS NEAR
He Will Be Hanged at Fairfax
This Morning.
CONFESSES TO MANY CRIMES
In Addition to the Outrage Upon
llr. Heidel, Admits to Three
Others. A Prominent Young Lady
One of His Victims nis Last
Night In Jail.
Fairfax Courthouse, June 3. James Lew
is, the negro who assaulted Mrs. Ida
Reidcl about two months ago at her home,
u few miles below Alexandria, will be
hanged in the Jail yard here tomorrow.
Preparations for the execution haveben
going on for a number of days past, and
Sheriff Gordon lias everything in readi
ness Five o'clock has been set as the
hour when the hanging will take place.
While the erection of the scaffold na3 been
in progress Lewis has quietly 1'stened to
the sound of the hammer, and up to this
afternoon stoutly maintained his inno
cence Even after the motion made by W.
H. Saddler, one of his attorneys, in Rich
mond today, asking that the verdict ofthe
Jury bf set aside on the ground of techni
cal errors, had been denied, he rerued to
admit his guilt.
It was not until this afternoon, when
he was taken out into the jail yard, when
he viewed the rope hanging from the
beam rrom whkli he is to swing that he
broke down and made a full confession.
Upon being taken back to his cell he
faltered for a few moments, and then
said that he wished to make a statement
before lie died. In the presence of Sheiifr
Gordon, Rev. Robert Naurse and othess,
Lewis, trembling with excitement, went
into the details of the story' of the ciinie
for which he is to die tomorrow. He
admitted that the statements of Mrs.
Reldel, made at the tiial, weje cornet
in every detail, and furthermore acknowl
edged that lie went to her home with the
avowed purpose of committing the out
rage. Sometime after having made this state
ment. Editor Donohue, who is one of the
death watch, observed that Lewis wa
still in high state of excitement, and
evidently about to make still further reve
lations. Upon being questioned for a
short time, Lewis astonished the death
watch by confessing to three similar crimes
previously committed. Two of his vic
tims were colored, one of them being a
child twelve years of age.
The third offense to which Lewis con
fessed was committed upon a prominent
young lady in Charlottesville, whose name
he refuses to reveal, stating that though
he is guilty of the hornble crime and de
serves to be punished by death, he stiil
wishes to be remembered as being manly
enough not to reveal what his victim has
always kept secret. According to his
statement he met the lady alone one
night, In an isolated spot, and committed
the outrage.
During Lewis' confinement in the jail he
has spent the greater portion of his time
in writing letters, and has had but few
friends call on h:m. His wife and spiritual
ad iser have been his only guests. As tne
time for the execution has drawn near
Lewis has appeal ed more and more uneuy
until tonight After having made his con
fession he says he K prepared to meet a
deserved death.
Tonight he is in the test of spirits. Joking
and laughing with his keepers. He considers
that hiR confession has brought him for
giveness. He ate a hearty dinner of beet
steak, h.im and eggs, bread and butter,
cortee and seveial vegetables, and seemed
to relish his meal.
He snys that lie does not intend to sleep
much tonight, but will be ready for the
execution when the hour arrives, and as
serts that he will walk to the gallows with
outralterlng. Rev Mr. Brewer.thecolored
minister who has been attending him, will
not remain at the jail tonight, but will
walk beside the condemned man on tiie
march to the scaffold tomorrow morning.
A boaid fence twenty feet high has been
erected about the jail yard, and only
about fifty spectators will be admitted
to witness the execution.

THE iTENTW OF JAPAN
Many Hawaiians Declare She De
signs to Seize the Islands.
MUST HAVE REPARATION
Itls Snid that Another War Vessel
Is Being Fitted Out for Yoko
hamaThere Have Been No -Breaches
of Diplomatic Relation
Thus Far.
Honolulu, May 27, via San Francisco,
June 3.-While there Is'no change In the
situation over the Japanese immigration
quarrel, and while leading Hawaiian- and
Japanese officials declare no violence ij
now to be feared in the settlement ot the
question many here believe that the Japan
ese are only waiting for a pretext to carry
out a well-planned device for the seizing
of the Hawaiian Islands Those who take
this view call attention to the scattering
of the Japanese among the island.-) on var
ious sugar plantations, and to the face
that most or theselaborersare well trained
in arms, and would respond promptly to
any call ot their government for mobilizing
troops. Japan, while comparatively a small
nation, is very powerful. She will not read
ily brook interference from the United
States in a quarrel which she deems pecu
liarly her owiuanq&heis conscious' enough
of her own power to reseat interference
with force if occasion demands It.
Such is the opinion expressed by thoss
who take the demands of Japan seriously.
The Japanese residents all insist tliat thu
treaty has been violated and that thrS
Japanese as a people have been discrim-
iuatedagalnstaudinsulted by tiie Hawaiian
government. They demand reparation for
the alleged Injury, ur a recourse to force.
When the last steamer that arrived from
the Orient sailed from Yokohama, it waa
understood that another powerful war
vessel was being fitted out for this port.
A number or war vessels might be dis
patched here on short notice and might
have things tnnr own way before another
war ship could be dispatched fiom thu
American coast. In event of serious
trouble, the Islands would be practically
at the mercy of the' Japanese.
Thus far there have been no bieachel
of diplomatic relations-
On May 23, the day after Minister
Resident Shimamura had received Jus
answer from the government, the minister,
by previous appointment, accompanied
President Dole on a 'visit to the Phila
delphia and Naniwa. They were received
aboard with marked attention and a
salute of guns.
