sent Senor Montero Kioe, president
of the senate, in opening the proceed
ing, pionounccd a eulogy upon M.
Faure, and a resolution of condolence
with France was adopted.
Senor Sagasta, tbe premier, then pro
posed to refer the bill proivding for tlie
cession of tbe Philippine to the Unit
ed State to a special committee, but
the conservatives pioteated against this,
declaring tbat the bill ought to be con
scientiously discussed, and Senor Sj
gasta withdrew his proposal.
Count D'Almenas then brought up
the question of the conduct of the gen
erals engaged in the war in Cuba, de
claring that General Primo Rivera,
General Weyler, General Blanco, Ad
miral Cervera and Geneial Linares bad
proven failures.
This declaration elicited much ap
plause from tbe public galleries, in
eonjequence of which several of the
spectator were expelled from tbe cham
ber. Observing that he woold deal with
the "shameful capitulation of San
tiago," Count D'Almenas asked tlie
bout whether he should proceed, and
wai auswered with crie of "yes" and
"no" and a general uproar ensued. A
repetition of the query raising sVill
greater tumult, Senor Sagasta rose and :
defended the government and its peace
commission. The premier criticised
America' unjuitified conduct, and said
that everything might be discussed, ex
ceptjthe war, because the cases of the
general were atill subjudioiary.
County D'Almenas resumed his at
tack upon the generals and complained
that "five mouths had elapsed, and not
single general bad been shot."

Manila, Feb. 33. The nativea of
tbe village of Paco made a bold at
tempt last nigbt to burn the quarters ot
tbe First Washington volunteers by
setting fire to the huta adjoining their

was discovered, and, fanned by a stiff
breeze, the flames spread in the oppo
site direction, destroying fully 30
shacks and bouses opposite tbe luins of
tlie church. Tbe incendiaries escaped.
Mysterious signals were frequently
made along the enemy'a lines during
the night, and this -led to the belief
that an attack bad been arranged, but
nothing happened.
