Madrid, March G. A very troubled
condition of nfliura prevails in fcpain.
The moat nente distress is being experi
enced, the Carlists are showinR unmis
takable signs of activity, there is fur
ther alarming news from the PhiiippiueB
nnd the government is disgUBted with
the performances of General Weyler in
Cuba, but dares not recall him.
In this connection, a Btartling expla
nation of the inaction of the government
is hinted at. According to the rumors
circulating here, and reasons why Wey
ler is not recalled are, first, because he
is a pronounced Republican; second,
because it is intimated that, sooner than
return to Spain in disgrace, he would
proclaim a republic in Havana.
The distress is more severe in the Bis
cayan provinces. The people of Leon
are on the verge of storvation, the crops
having been practically destroyed by
the recent floods which followed the pre
vious severe drought, while on all sides
flocks and herdB are dying of famine and
disease.
In La Mancha the failure of the crops
has prevented the peasants from earn
ing anything throughout the whole win
ter, aud large numbers of them are
barely able to keep body and soul to
gether. Very many families have not
Been a loaf of bread for months, and
meats have been out of their reach since
last fall.
The distress is not confined to Isolated
places. All the towns and villages are
afflicted more or less, and, as a rule, the
inhabitants are famisbiug, many of
them being reduced to subsist on
acorns.
In this city, where it might be ex
pected the distress due to crop failures
would hardly be felt, over 25,000 persons
are daily being fed from charitable in
stitutions. Coupled with the distress, rumors of
strength iu the Carlist movement in the
northern and central parts of Spain
causes the greatest anxiety. The pre
tender is assuming a patriotic attitude,
however, in view of the colonial
troubles, which may win nim sympathy,
and may be of material use to him when
his advisers direct that tho moment has
arrived for him to make another at
tempt to reach the throne of Spain.
However, the newspapers are full of
curious dotails 0 the propositions and
plans ot tho Carlists to take the Held
when the Bigual is given.
Incidentally, there seems to have been
a bad blunder committed by eomebody
in the Puebla and San Miguel districts,
where a band of Carlists recently at
tempted a rising. The insurgent
Carlists, who were armed, were arrested
and imprisoned. On their persons were
found compromising documeuts. When
submitted to examination, the prisoners
confessed that they had expected a sim
ultaneous rising to take place in other
districts, showing that the instructions
they had received were the result of
eome mistake. The revelations thus
made have seriously alarmed the gov
ernment. THE KXT1IA SESSION.

Dangers of the Grip.
The greatest dangers from La Grippe
is of it resulting in pneumonia. If rea
sonable care is used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is taken,
all danger will be avoided. Among the
tens of thousands who have used this
remedy for la grippe, we have yet to
learn of a single case having reefilted
in pnenmonia, which shows conclusively
that this remedy is a certain preventive
of that dread disease. It will affect a
Dermanent cure in less time than any
other treatment. The 25 and 50 cent

Troops Landed at Melino.
Atuens, March 6. A dispatch from
Canea, filed at a late hour tonight,
states that a mixed detachment of
troops was landed at Selino from the
warships of the powers this morning.
They set out forthwith for Caudiamo, a
distance of seven miles. In regard to
the force, the Greek vice-consul inform
ed the admirals that the Greek govern
ment declined all responsibility.
Enthusiasm is unabated in Athene,
tho populace continuing to favor a
policy of boldness in the situation.
Preparations for eventualities are con
tinued. Today instructions were issued
that students of the Greek military
cqlleges be immediately drafted into the
army as officers. The retired officers
who are members of the executive cham
bers have requested the govornmeut to
reinstate them in the army.

The European Concert It an Imaginary
One.
New Yokk, March 6. A Herald dis
patch from Vienna Eays :
It is learned that the situation is
most critical and that the European
concert is imaginary. Count Glonch
owski's sensible proposal for coercion in
the summer of 1S96, which was declined
by Lord Salisbury, was honest, nnd off
ered a chance to save the situation.
Tho means since employed are revo
lutionary, forming precedents which
must bring about open antagonism be
tween England Russia in the struggle
for the world's hegemony which Russia
would fain defer.
Lord Salisbury's paramount arxiety
is to avoid the odium of breaking the
peace. Greece will relieve him of this
by refusing to evacuate Crete, rely
ing on the support of Italian and Brit
ish sympathy with Crete.
Commanding the Dardanelles and
covering Egypt, Crete must, according
to British policy, belong to Greece,
when with English aid Crete will be
come another Gibraltar. Russia cannot
possibly allow this. Hence, coming
eventualities will find Ruesia siding
with Turkey and also with Bulgaria,
which hates Greece, and whose sov
ereign yesterday received the aid-decamp
of the sultan, bringing proposals
of an alliance.
Turkish reforms have lost all interest.
Thejoutbreak of hostilities portends an-
other'Panama for France, which holds a
hundred million in Turkish securities.
Signor Crispi's letter to the Figaro has
produced a disagreeable sensation here,
Austria could not tolerate any sit
uation which would endanger Bosina.
England Distrusted.
Canea, March 6. The departure of
the British consul, Sir Alfred Killlotti,
alone for Selino, on the British battle
ship Rodeny, although that vessel was
accompanied by other foreign warshiDS,
is badly interpreted by the other consuls,
who, however, previously rejected a pro
posal to go there in order to make a
fresh attempt to save Moslem families
in danger by the investment of that
place by the insurgents.
The Greek fleet left here this morn
ing for an unknown destination.
Foreign warships have landed 500 men
at Selino. News of the proposal of the
powers to grant autonomy to Crete has
created a bad impression among the in
surgents, who desire annexation to
Greece. The Musculrnans are also irri
tated at the concession of autonomy.
There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all othe diseases put
together, and until the laBt few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science hae proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrah Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, Is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It iB taken internally in dnees from ten
drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of tue
svstem. Thev offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for

Athens, MarcU 0. The ultimatum of
the six powers to Greece insisting upon
the withdrawal of the Greek troops and
the fleet from Crete, which was presen
ted on Monday last, expires at 4 p. m.
Monday, March 8. At that hour If
Greece is still obdur.ito the ministers of
the six powers will leave the city. They
are already preparing their embassies
for departure.
No hostilities or coercive measures are
poesible until Wednesday, as the foreign
admirals must first be advised of tho
departure of the ministers. The admi
rals are engaged in drawing up a
scheme of blockades.
