La Discussion, an autonomist wurna).
(tives great prominence to *n e<tltorlal In
the Malrid Heraldo headed "One Way or

"It Is true," says the Hersldo. "that Spain
should abandon the middle road *nd half

Cuba, with an understanding with the
United States, or abandon diplomacy and
depend wholly on Spain's military pew.-rs
to eni the war." I.a Discussion e*prest«*
surprse. saying the right of a nat % to
control its domestic affairs ought not M
be challenged.
Speaking of the protest of ths United
States government agair.st Gen. Weyler's
decree relative to the oolleetlon of debts.
It maintains that the decree favors the
American creditors. whose principal
claims, it says, are not secured by Cuh.m
land, but against contractors. To *e!l
lands now would cripple those who owe
Americans anl depreciate the AsQerlcao
claim*. The largest claim of an Amert
4ti, it says, is »v.,i.0u0. held by Perkins, of
tit w Vork. and secured by a sugar planta
tion in the Cienfuegos district. The
Havana press demand* that Madrid shall
sustain Capt. Gen. Weyler's decree sus
pending the foreclosure of mortgages and
Hens upon property to avert widespread
failures in business circles.
A story Is current in Havana that tha
captain general has resigned and was to
be succeeded as governor general by
Primero-Veva, and as general in chief by
Polavleja. This was flatly denied at the
paiace by Marquis de Palrnero a. secretary
general of the governor general, who de
noun -• d the report as a car.ard maliciously
set afloat by personal enemies of the e*t»
tain general. "Capt. Gen. W-yler." the
marquis said, "has not resigned. Only to
day he receHed telegrams from the govern
ment expressing Its satisfaction and confi
dence In h s management of affairs and
congratulating him ui>on recent victories.
He has, as you will thus see. no reason to
resign"
Madrid. May 30.—Premier Canovas del
Castillo authorizes a categor cal denial of
the report that Capt. Gen. Weyler has re
signed. and says the latter has cabled thit
he conforms to the government Instruc
tions In all matters relating to the admin

campaign against the Insurgents.
A Kill line on th»> Treaty With Chfna.
Washington City. May 30.-The attor
ney general has rendered an opinion In
•hi'h he construes article s of the treaty
of IK4 between the United States and
China. Under the act of isst Chinese
subjects of the excepted cLu entering
the United Slates for the first time are
required to procure certificates of identi
fication. etc . from the Chinese govern
ment "or such other foreign governm* nt
■>f which nt the time such Chinese per
son shall tve subject." In his opinion the
attorney genera! holds In effect that un
der the treaty of the certificate re
ferred to may be obtained from the Chi
nes*. government of from the govcrnm» nt
where they last resM-d. regardless of
whether they are subjects of that gov
ernment or merely residents of it. The
particular question decided Is that Chi

they be subjects or the emperor of China,

of the loro.-atloa Fete*.
Moscow. May SO —A terrible pan!" result
ing from the gr- at crush of pee>p> at the
popular feast here tori-iy In honor of th«
coronation of the cxar, caused the trarop
i.ng to death of more than I.i "0 people, in
cluding a womia delivered of a chi»d dur
ing the excitement. In anticipation of a
grand ho) day and popular banquet on
Kohdir.skoje plain, ten* of thousands of
people began trooping toward the Petrov
akt palace, tn front of which the plain la
situsted, this morning. In fact, thousands
reached tne grounds last evening and
camped there or in the immediate vicinity,
la order to make sure of obtaining « good
position today. On the plain long lines of
tabies flanked by rougher ueuchea had
been erected. It was at first arranged to
accommodate 400.<Ju0 people, but. in view of
the immense crowds assembled in and
about the city at the coronat.on fe'es.extra
tables and benches were erected and every
effort made to provide ovals for Stti.iMO peo
ple. To feed the multitude an army of
cooks and ws(it- rs vu gathered together,
the army bakehouses were taxed to the ut
most. and 500,000 mugs, each bearing por
traits of the rsar and xar.na. were ordered
for presentation to the people taking part
In the banquet. Thousands of cattle, tram
loads of provisions and sh.ploads of Uquid
refreshments were sent to the plain, and
this morning all was in readiness for the
gigantic event. In anticipation of the as
semWing cf an immense crowd and the
poasioihty of disorder, a strong force of
police was detailed for duty on the plain,
three miles outside the city, on the road to
St. Petersburg. Several detachments of
infantry and cavalry were stationed In the
vicinity to support the police should such
a step become necessary.
When da> dawned today the masa of
peasants about the tallies was enormous,
and all were desperately hungry, some
having fasted nearly twenty-four hours.
The police did everything possible to keep
back the crowd, but suddenly the masses
pressed forward, swept everything before
them, overturned tables and benches,
trampling hundreds under foot and crush
ing the life out of a great number. The
police and military eventually succeeded in
restoring order and took away the dead
and injured.
Among the dead found on Kohdlnskole
plain were ladi>-s evidently of high rank,
iressud In the finest silk and adorned with
the richest jewels. The police barracks
to which the bodies of the dead were
taken were beaieged by persons besee, ti
ng for newj of friends and relatives. The
• nes at tire barracks are terrible in tha
extreme. The remains of the dead will be
conveyed to the cemetery, where a large
morgue is located.
The disaster, us now explained, was due
mainly to the absence of the police, who
h«.d not arrived at so «wr!y an hour.
Fully 300,000 persona of all grades of so
ciety had gathered on the plain at the
time the disaster ocourred. Onlv about
1.(00 attendants were In charge, and they
-cornel urqble to control the mob. Hop
ing to lessen the pressure of the assembled
hundreds of thousands, all moving toward
» common center, they tossed the pack
ages and presents Into the midst ot the
crowd. Tiils seemingly precipitated the
panic, since a scramble to obtain the gifts
ensued, and the hollow piece of ground tn
the center formed a death traD for thous
ands. The barracks where Napoleon once
concentrated bis troops before moving up
.« \ are tn -nany case* being u.»ed
as temporary hospitals, and the soldiers
have been rendering great aervlces in re
moving the dead.
Further time must elapse before ac
curate figures as to the number actually
killed and the numlrer of persons who are
victims of the disaster and those who are
only suffering from Injuries Is ascer
tained. But there is no doubt that the
oftlclal estimate of 1,000 victims cannot be
far from right.
This may be said to have put an end to
all the coronation festivities, certainly
so far as the general public Is concerned.
The disaster occurred betmeen 5 and «
o'clock this morning. It was Intended
that the banquet should not commence
before noon, but the Immense throng
which had gathered became so dense that
the attendants were overpowered by the
crow d, and the mad struggle commenced
for food and gifts, many of the attend
ants being among the dead.
The police made desperate efforts to
control the people, but all their attempts
proved futile, and men. women and chil-
Jr"n were trampled upon by hundreds, and
the groans of the victims could be heard
from afar. For a time the officials In
charge lost their heads entirely. The
crowds seemed to have gone mad with
nge and excitement, shouting, cursing
and yelling as they pressed onward over
a path strewn with dead and dying human
h-lnsr*. Eventually, however, some show
of order was restored hy the troops, and
Bremen were hastily summoned ar.d the

delegates who have been selected to go to
St. Louis naxt month and shout for Mc-
Kinley will wear badges of a d.stinct and
characteristic design. These badges have
been completed and delivered to the dele
gates and all pronounce them beauties.
As usual a big California bear surmounts
the metal bar bearing the name "Califor
nia." Thence swings a shield. u|%in which
is Inscribed all about the delegation. The
whole Is given a background of red, white
ar.d blue ribbon, and presents a very pret
ty appearance. As It Is quite a practice
among delegates at a convention to ex
change badges as mementoes, each mem
ber of the body representing California
will carry with him an extra supply of
badges. The delegates will wear un.form
straw hats and will carry orangewood
cams with white silk handkerchiefs at

delegation will be met and escorted to
their headquarters by the Tippecanoe club
of Cleveland. The trip will tie made In the
finest special train ever made up at the

The train will be vestlbuled, and In point
of comfort and convenience will be unex

St. Louis, May 3ft—The storm has at

walls and heaps of debris.
By slow degress St Louis is recovering
from the business paralysis caused by tha
awful storm. Some of the principal thor
oughfares that were chaked with Wreck
age have been opened and a few street car
lines started, but the telephone system Is
practically useless. The side streets
through the storm-srrccked district ara
still in a critical condition. Tr«mc Is In
many places impossible. It will requira
weeks to restore some streets to their nor

men was put at work there at daylight to
day. In deference to the loud demand* of
people who had friends at the hospital not
