MADRID. Sept. 7. There were uproarious scenes in the Cortes to-day. Senor Salmeron the Republican leader, moved that the chamber institute an Inquiry into the Governments responsibility for declaring war suing for peace and bus.

pending1 the constitutional guarantees. Senor Salmeron's resolution asked Congress to declare that the Government could have avoided war, but did not do so. It did not know how to organize a defense, and had signed the peace protocol in violation of the constitution. Prime Minister Sagasta Instantly arose and demanded that the discussion be secret. Marquis Vega dl Armejo, the President of the Chamber, acquiesced in the Premiers demand and ordered the strangers be cleared out of the galleries.

The Republicans and Conservatives noisily protested against this and there was a great hubbub during which the doorkeepers cleared the press and public galleries. As the reporters left they heard continued angry shouts from the protesting deputies. Senor Sagasta calmly watched the pandemonium with a sardonic smile. It was subsequently learned In the lobbies that all the minority parties favored a public debate, and that some of the Government supporters were wavering oq the question. It was rumored that the defeat of the Government was possible.

The session of the Senate was also a stormy -one. Gens Weyler, Azcarraga HE DIRECTS THAT CUBANS BE INFORMED THAT THE WISE THING FOR THEM TO DO IS TO DISBAND AND RETURN TO "THEIR HOMES PAY OF UNITED STATES GARRISONS AT FOREIGN STATIONS. WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. The President is said to have decided that the insurgent army in Cuba Is not to be fed so long as it remains organized and under arms.

The question came before the President a few days ago In a telegram from Gen. Lawton, who reported that he had received a request to furnish rations to two sections of the Cuban army. He said, in commenting upon, the request, that the only reason the soldiers needed food was their continuance in organized bodies. The President, after considering the circumstances, promptly decided that those Cubans ought to be informed that the wise and proper thing tor them to do was to disband and return to thetr homes, recognizing law and contributing, as far as possible, to the speedy return of prosperity on the island. The War Department has been Informed that 300 Cubans at Santiago have already surrendered their arms, and It is believed there will be little trouble with the remaining forces in that vicinity.

If this should prove to be the case the Cuban problem may be settled with less difficulty than expected, and a less number of United States soldiers may be required for the island. A question as lo the pay of the garrisons in Cuba. Porto Rico and the Philippines will be brought to the attention of Congress early In the session. An effort will be made to secure a higher rate of compensation for the men. If they have trouble with the natives their service SIX-INCH RIFLES TO TAKE THE PLACE 1 OF OLD OREGON WILL-COME OUT OF DRY DOCK NO.

8 ON SATURDAY TO MAKE ROOM FOR THE MASSACHUSETTS. The Texas came up to the Navy 4'ard at 1 o'clock this afternoon It la Intended to place a number of new 6-tneh rifles on board to take the place of the guns with which she has recently seen service. Where she will next be sent, however, has not as yet been determined upon. The Massachusetts Is expected to arrive from Boston to-morrow and proceed at once to the Yard to replace the Oregon in Dry Dock No. 3.

The latter is being painted below the water line to-day and Is having four 8-inch rapid Are guns mounted In place of her old She will leave the -dock on Saturday, and after coal and ammunition have been plaged on beard she will be painted the regulation lead color. Her torpedo tubes amidships will remain, nut the others will be taken out. On the Massachusetts considerable work will be the extent, however, being determined by Naval Constructor Bowles after the big ship Is docked. She will be the fourth battleship to be docked in No. 3 since the close of the war with Spain, and there Is now every reason to believe that the big dock Is no longer entitled to be called a hoo-doo, and that it Is capable of withstanding any strain to which it may hereafter be put In docking the big ships of the navy.

This afternoon the torpedo boat Foote will be placed in Dry Dock No. 1 for a general overhauling. 4 This morning 500 members of the Illinois Naval. Reserves, who have been quartered on the receiving ship Vermont since their arrival here, left the Yard for Chicago, where they will be mustered out. They went by way of the Pennsylvania Railroad.

i I a ft at kn a wit strt the the Mur othei Afl ray WARRAN i CHARGES HIM "WITH ABSCONDING FROM A BOARDING HOUSE "KEPT BY ONE BILUNGS-MR. PLATE STOPPED A CHECK WHICH HB HAD GIVEN HIS HOST. BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE CHARGES. HENCE HIS ARREST. Frederick Plate, well-known Eastern District manufacturer, who has a knitting mill at 408 Berry street and lives at 702 Chauncey street, was arrested today on a warrant issued by Justice of the Peace Slater, of Sullivan County charging him with absconding from a hoarding house at Fallsburg, Sullivan County, without paying his hoard bill.

Mr. Plate's side of the story Is an interesting one. He says that in the latter part of July he engaged hoard for self his wife and two children at the house of Frederick Billings a prominen4 resident of FallBburg. He paid regularly every week by qheck on the Peoples Bank, of Williamsburg, remained four weeks. He had intended to remain at the place for a couple of weeks longer, but something Mrs.

Plate told him about the actions of Mr. Billings decided him on leaving at the close of the week ending Aug. 27. He asked Mr. Billings for his bill, but the latter kept puttlqg off- making it out until an hour before the trafn started.

Then Mr. Billings said they could settle when they got to the depot. When they arrived at the depot Mr. Billings presented a bill for two weeks board and extras, amounting to $52.25. Mr.

Plate demurred at paying the bill, saying that he only owed for the last week, and when Mrs. Plate showed her receipt for the week preceding, Mr. Billings made out a second bill for $29.25." Mr. Plate refused to pay, saying that the charges for extras were excessive, one of the items charged being $2 for carrying a box of beer valued g.t $1.25 from tbe depot, a distance of arjmile to the house. On other occasions no charge was made for bringing articles from the depot in the wagon.

Another charge which Mf. Plate regarded as outrageous was $2 for extra milk and sugar, and another $2 for the services of a nurse girL Mr. Plate says that his wife left one of the children in charge of the servant one night when they wnt to a party and gave the girl 50 cents for her trouble. Mr. Billings pit ip a bill for this also.

As he wanted to get away in a hurry, and finding Billings would not change the amount the bill, he got his wife to make out a check for the amount and then Billings released his trunk, which he had locked up in the depot. Mr Platedme home in state of mind fan from pleasant, had after thinking the matter over he decidd to stop payment on. the check he had given Thisphe did next day and then sent another check fo the amount of the regular board bill by mail. As soon as Billings found that he could not get the money on the first check he applied for a warrant, and Sheriff Price, of Sullivan County, came to Brooklyn yesterday. Detective Cream, of Capt.

Reynolds staff, served the warrant on Mr. Plate this morning at his home, and he was brought before Magistrate Kramer in the Adams street court Lawyer F. X. McCaffery appeared for Mr. Plate, and insisted on seeing the original papers in the complaint and demanded an examination In this county.

Mr. Plate was released on furnishing a bond of $200 for his appearance when wanted. BROOKLYNITES HAVE ALREADY CONTRIBUTED 13,300 TO PROVIDE A PROPER HOMECOMING CELE-. ERATION FOR OUR GALLANT FIGHTERS TROOP A WILL ALSO GET A ROYAL WELCOME IN up to noon to-day Treasurer Julian D. Fairchild, of the committee in charge of the reception to returning Brooklyn soldiers, had received $3,300 In subscriptions from the people of Brooklyn.

Chairman Francis H. Wilson said that while this sum was encouraging, it would scarcely be enough to properly defray the cost of the entertainment with which It Is proposed to receive the boys in blue. Brig. -Gen. McLeer stated that upon the arrival of Troop which is expected I home on Saturday, from Porto Rico, on the transport Mississippi, they would be 1 met at the dock and taken by the short- est possible route direct to their armory, where they would be treated to an elab- orate collation by the ladles of the Aux- illary.

To others than the members of the troop and the committee in charge of their reception admission to the armory will only be secured by ticket," said the General, in view of the fact that if the general public were admitted there would be such la crowd that it would be impos-s'ble to secure the comfort of the tired troopers. Chairman Wilson believed that the Mississippi would be sighted on Friday, but It would be impossible to know where landing will made until after she passes Sandy HOftk. Dr. Brush, a member of the committee, communicated with Quarantine Commissioner Doty to-day and received (the latters promise that Just as soon as the transport Is sighted he will notify him by telegraph in order that. If arrangements can be made In time, friends of the troop and members of the committee may be able to go down, the bay to meet them on a tug or excursion steamef.

This matter will be considered by the sub-committee at a 1 meeting called for this afternoon at the of Borough President Grout. Further arrangements have beep made In Manhattan for the reception of Troop which will arrive on the Mississippi with the Brooklyn troop. The transport 'also has various Pennsylvania organizations on board and Col, Kimball, chief quartermaster at the Army Building, says that she will dock at or near the wharves of the Pennsylvania Railroad In Jersey City. Troop A will be conveyed by special ferry boat to the foot of Cortland street. The Lpe of maijch will he to the Battery, to adway, to City Hall Plaza, to Waverly to Fifth avenue, to Ninety-sixth street, and thence to the, armory.

When Troop A lands its mascot, Amigo, a Spanish Pinto" captured in Porto Rico, will make the acquaintance of the squadrons mascot, Rob Roy, a black Shetland pony by rubbing noses. This may be regarded as a little horse play. Major Avery D.

It Is said that the English soldiers on duty at fcffelgn stations receive double the amount of pay given them for service at home. The pay of English' soldiers Is over 25 per cent, lees than that of the Americans, but the argument In favor of an increase for duty abroad Is the same in both cases. led a hot assault on the generals for misconducting the military operations. Gen. Weyler declared that the mistakes that had been made in Cuba were ascrib-able to the politicians In the Government, who had completely abandoned the armies in Cuba and Porto Rico, and had sent no supplies to them.

Gen. Correa, Minister of War, and Capt, Aunon, Minister of A POLICEMAN DISCOVERED HER WRITHING IN AGONY SHE DIED JUST AFTER AMBULANCE SURGEON ARRIVED HAD A GOOD REPUTATION AND NO TROUBLES BO FAR AS KNOWN OTHER SUICIDES YESTERDAY. With the evident determination to put an end to her lifes troubles, a young woman, about 25 years of age, who Is supposed to be Agnes Wllhelmson, but whose address Is not knownr swallowed a quantity of carbolic acid early this morning, and then lay down In the vacant lot at Eighth avenue and Thirty-ninth street, to await the result. She was discovered at 5:40 A. M.

and an ambulance surgeon waa quickly summoned from the Hospital, but he arrived too late, as she was in the agony of the death struggle when he reached her and soon breathed her last. The remains were removed to the Fourth avenue police station, where an examination of the clothing made. This consisted of a brown polka dot skirt, striped shirt waist, button shoes and a dark hat of good and durable make, which gave her the appearance of a business woman. On the remains were found Several letters addressed to Agnes Wil-helmson, one signed Cfiara Driscoll, 334 Fourth avenue, supposed to be in Manhattan, which recomritends Agnes Wil-helmson as one she had known for years as an active, industrious, intelligent young woman. Another letter was from Emma F.

Hoe, of the Bureau of Charities, recommending Agnes Wllhelmson for work in the laun-, dry attached to the bureau and bearing good character. Mrs. Hoe, who is superintendent of the Bureau of Charities, when seen this morning said that the young woman came there four months ago to learn laundry work, and after remaining about two months, left to seek employment elsewhere. The dead woman was nearly 6 feet in height, well built and good looking. She was of Swedish birth, but had evidently been in this country some time.

She had a good education, speaking and writing the English language correctly. So far as is known she was unmarried and at the time she was at the bureau apparently had no care or trouble of any kind, and received but few letters. When at the laundry she gave her former address as 407 West Forty-fourth street. She never mentioned her relatives and had no young men or other visitors. Thomas Lewry, aged 24 and unmarried, who is employed as a conductor on a delivery wagon of one of the large Brooklyn dry goods houses, attempted suicide this morning at the home of his rfiother, Mrs.

Margaret Lewry, of 23 Fourth He entered a bedroom after eating breakfast, swallowed a small quantity of iodine, and then cut his throat with a pocketknife. At the Brooklyn Hospital it was stated this afternoon that he would be able to appear in court tomorrow. Magdallne Royal, a widow 2 years oHlr died at the Bushwick Hospital to-day. From a statement made to Coroner Delap by the womans son it appears to be a case of suicide. Mrs.

Royal frequently told her soh that she was tired of life and wanted to die. On Tuesday sri became quite ill with the symptoms of arsenical poison. She told her son she had taken parts green, and he had her removed to the hospital, where she continued to grow worse until to-day, when death ended her sufferings. Coroner Delap has ordered an 'autopsy and will hold an inquest. HARRISBURG, 111., Sept.

8. Senator Faulkner of West Virginia, who Is at present In the city, says It Is a noteworthy fact that there has been very little sickness among the troops commanded by Major-Gen. Fltzhugh Lee, and, according to the reports from his camp, very few of the men have complained of the life there. And that is one of the largest camps that was established, commented Sen ator Faulkner. Ha-has had 30,000 men under him at Cuba Libre, near Jacksonville.

The secret of it is that Gen. Lee, being an experienced officer, and having served In the-Confederacy when both money and supplies were short, knows how to make the best of the opportunities. He has had a most careful Inspection of his camp day from the time it was established, as it was understood that his troops were to take part in the attack upon Havana had It been necessary, and Lee bent all his energies to keep bis soldiers In the best of condition. He has worked diligently himself, and In spired a spirit of activity among the officers under him. Then, too, Gen.

Lee Is a showy man, fond of parade and excitement, and he has had his men doing sdibiethlng from the day his corps was stationed in Florida. The'weather has been very warm down there, but I venture to say that. In proportion to numbers, a smaller percentage of sick men has been reported from Camp Cuba Libre than that from any of the other large camp. PRESIDENTS OWN REACH HOME CLEVELAND. Sept.

8. The Eighth Ohio Regiment, known as the Presidents Own, reached here In three sections this morning. When the train arrived the regiment had 230 sick, all told; but none were In a serious condition, and the services of the twenty nurses who met the regiment at the station were not required. Col. Bard declared that the trouble in his regiment was largely due to the Indiscretion of two members of Company of Wooster, who broke through the lines at Santiago and there contracted fever which subsequently spread throughout the entire camp.

The regiment will leave here this 'morning far their homes throughout Northern Ohio. FIFTH MASSACHUSETTS MOVED. BOSTON, Sept. 8. Orders were received at Camp Dalton, South Framingham, last night to have the Fifth Massachusetts Regiment move at once to Camp Meade, Pennsylvania.

Stewart Woodford, Ambassador to Spain, was at the Hamilton Club laSt night. He said In talking to friends that he Is making preparations to go back to Madrid on Jan. 15 next, presumably in the capacity of United States Minister. In conversation with friends at the Hamilton Club last night, Gen. Woodford said that he was advised -by the State Department, while at his diplomatic post, that the United States navy would not be in condition to assume the offensive in a war with Spain until April 15.

and It was with that date in view that negotiations at MjCcfrid were prolonged. He said that his relations with the State Department at the time were of the closest and pleasantest character and that the Governments policy was carried out in its entirety and with promptness. He said that when the official history of the period ia fully made known the people would have even better reason than they have now for admiring the course of President McKinley and Secretaries Sherman and Day, LIST Stoci irregu The attack cession ness ste hah bor I I fh St IV Prioe by nun Amer (f Am 13V An Amt A me Ames Ateh; Bkly Bur 1 4 Canada Cbez A Den A General Illinois Illinois Int Par Int Pap Kansas Laclede Louisw Manhatti 86, Met Str 158.

The Government had not only made a cardinal error in sending Ad miral Cervera to Santiago, but took no measures to assist or protect him when he was there. The responsibility for the surrender of Santiago rested on the Government, and not on Gen.

Toral. Gen. Weyler concluded by denouncing secret sittings, i Count' Almenas made a reply in which he poured vitrol on the generals who he declared, had shown themselves incapable of leading or of setting an example of how to fall worthily in front of the foe. Gen. iPrimo di Rivera at this point shouted: That is untrue.

Gen. Weyler and others joined in the protests Count i Almenas, facing his opponents, cried; am not frightened by your shouts your epaulettes, or your decorations The latter wfljhave to be torn from the breasts of several officers- Some of the generals ought to have sashes arbund their necks instead of around their waists. Weyler hereupon began to make threats, whereupon Senors Romero, Robledo and Giron retorted: Take, what action you please, but cease playing tbe bully at the fair. You are more responsible than anybody for Spain's misfortunes. To this Weyler made no reply.

The remainder1 of the sitting was noisy. PARIS, Sept. 7. A dispatch to the Temps from Madrid says that troops of all arms are beginning to make organized marches through the Carlist centres in the northern and central provinces of Spain. 1 MADRID Sept.

8. Before the close of the sitting of the Cortes, yesterday the Republican and Carlist Deputies left the Chamber, protesting against Premier Sa-gastas demand supported by ther decision of the President that the sitting should be secret1 Senor Romero Robledo also threatened to withdraw. The Chamber then decided to discuss the proposal of the Republicans to institute an) inquiry into tbe Governments responsibility for declaring war, suing for pekee and suspending the constitutional guarantees with closed doors, but as the Republicans and Carllsts were absent from the Chamber, nothing could be, or at least nothing was done. To-day there is serious discussion of the question of dissolving Parliament, oaing to the disorders in the Chamber. When the doors of the chamber were closed, Senor Salmeron, the Republican leader, said: I solemnly promises the country that I will reveal all of the deliberations of the chamber.

We have decided to violate 'the secrecy the Government has imposed upon Gen. Correa, Minister of War, promised to show all the documents in relation to the Cuban campaign. Gen. Primo de Rivera supported the acts of the Generals, and discredited the reportB sent out In tbe telegrams of newspaper correspondents, chiefly to fasten the responsibility for the conduct of the campaign upon them. (Jen.

Lopez Dominguez declared the Generals were not responsible. The only responsibility, he said, rested upon the Government. 9enor Giro, Minister of the Colonies, protested against this statement, declaring that the Government was not responsible. He also warned the chamber against placing any belief in foreign dispatches. Count Almenas, despite the' request of several of his colleagues, refused to withdraw a single word of what he had said in denunciation of the Generals.

A SUB-CONTRACTOR DEFAULTS THEY ARE MEMBERS OF BROOKLYN UNIONS DISTRICT ASSEMBLY 220 APPLIED IN VAIN TO THE GENERAL CONTRACTORS AND BRIDGE COMMISSIONER SHEA-MATTER NOW BEFORE THE NEW BRIDGE COMMISSION. Failure to pay the wages of an engineer and laborer by a sub-contractor for portion of the work on the New East River Bridge has caused considerable trouble to quite a number of parties.

Both men are members of Brooklyn labor organizations affiliated with District Assembly 220, and had been employed to work on the new bridge by a sub-con. tractor to whom work has been sublet by Degnan and McNeil, the general contractors. District Assembly 220 took up the matter and made application for the mens wages to Degnan McNeil, who refused to pay, saying they were not responsible for debts of their sub-contractor. The refusal irritated the dlstrjct because a number of granite stone cutters employed by the sub-contractor, whose wages were also in arrears, had been paid by Degnan McNeil to avoid a strike threatened by the Granite Stone Cutters Union. Bridge Commissioner John L.

Shea was then written to by the district with a full statement, and he replied he was powerless to intervene and bad referred consideration of the mattef to the New East River Bridge Commissioners. Local Knights of Labor are excited over the occurrence, and District Assembly 220 is forcing the Issue with tbe Bridge Commission in order that protection may be found for workingmen against defaulting contractors.

When in the year 826 B. C. Alexander the 'Great stayed his eastward march In India, and turned his course down the Indus to seek a sea, the boundary line was set which proved to mean for the history of the human race more than any ever created by the act of man, says Benjamin Ide Wheeler in the Atlantic. The eastern boundary of Alexanders empire, running from the River southward along the Pamir ranges, the roof of the world, to the Indus, and then on to the Indian Ocean, divided the world and Its history into two utterly distinct parts. The part which lay to the East, with its two great centres, India and China, and Which to-day include a little over half the population of the globe, had no part nor spare in the life and history of the western part, which we call our Nearer World.

AU the elements within this Nearer World, stretching from Afghanistan and Persia to the shores of western Europe, have, in the long process of mixture and fermentation which history has suffered since Alexanders time, yielded their contribution, wnall or great, to the civilization upon which our modern life is based. The history which we whether of events, institutions, ideas or religions, has been all a history of this Nearer World. TAPS. Over the hills, ahere the sun weqt down In a dying glory of red and gold.
