Last July he placed a mine at the buoy where the Maine was 'anchored. Weyler supervised the work, and or dered him to assume the false name of Escadora. After the explosion, Crandall fled to Key West, where he hid. lie re ceived the Spanish gold and fled north. At Nashville he received a letter from Weylcr's adjutant, Diaz, telling him to "destroy all evidence and go to New York, where a ticket to- juondon awaited him."

Grave Danger. Special from Laffan News Bureau. London, April 15. Fullest con firmation comes from Madrid of the reports that the dynasty is imperiled. Civil war will surely come if war with the United States is not de clared. The queen has decided to lacrificc the ministry to. preserve the dynasty and lias renounced her peace policy by declaring she will abdicate If the ministry does aught to imperil the honor and dignity of Spain. Popular anger has assumed the form of idclotry of Weyler because he Is the object of the deepest American detestation. There is some danger be will seize the government within the next 24 hours.

IT WAR. command in Cuba Is likely to fall, as he will probably refuse to accept the command. BY JAMES CREELMAN. Madrid, April 15. (Special Cable gram.) Weyler Is hero, summoned by the government In Its hour of need. Weyler will bo commander-in-chief of the Spanish forces in the war against America. So runs the rumor. The people de mand it. Weyler Is the popular idol. Weyler will be sent to Cuba, it is said; sent at once to resume his campaign of murder and rapine and persona enrichment; to be on hand to con duct tho war against the United States on the lines laid down by him while captain.gcneral. The sending for Wcjlcrls a master play on Sagasta's part. The howl of the opposition press has raised and the in dignation of the people at what they call the betrayal of Spain In a mean Innless, cessation of hostilities in Cuba, which to them is anything but meaningless, has placed tho govern ment in a dilemna. The opposition Is ready to support the government in strong measures. Even theCarlists are anxious to aid it in war. But at the least sign of fal tering there Is a shriek of rage that Is echoed from the rock of Glbralter to the Bay of Biscay. The ministry feels its danger. It is only held together by dire necessity. The wave of popular anger that has has spread over Spain caused the cab inet to quake. The very throne of Alphonso trembled. Weyler was met at the railway station by General Pratt, in full uni form, and a dense crowd of citizens and soldiers. A popular demonstra tion was expected and nipped in the bud. Detachments of police guarded thestatloi. Police lined the streets, through which Weyler passed In his carriage. The police 6tood guard within the doors of Weyler's palace. "I have otfercl my service to the queen," he said to your correspond ent. "War with America Is Inevita ble, or Cuba Is lost to Spain. I prefer war to a prolongation of the present tension between the two countries." The general was discreetly silent when asked point-blank whothcr the government had sent for him. The opposition voices the senti ment of the people when It halls Wey ler as the savior of the nation's honor. Even El Pals, which has long been among the bitterest of his villi flers, says: "General Weyler Is not alone in appreciating the present dishonor. He Is backed by numerous Republi cans, patriotic Carllsts and robledo conservatives a party which is com posed of many senators and deputies and representatives from the provinces All loyal Spaniards in Cuba, with the volunteers, the leaders of the army, who blush under the stigma of armistice, and he will have the sup port of the masses, who are only awaiting a guide and leader, Weyler Is not alone. No general and no political personage has more followers today thanhe. May Weyler not dls appoint the hopes of so many patrl ots." The feeling in Madrid lsso bitter that any disturbance may be turned into a gigantic riot. "Tho Austrian" Is the nickname they hare given the queen regent Animosity to her personally finds ex pression on every hand. Her appeals to the pope and her uncle, Francis Jo seph, of Austria, have struck a note that Jara harshly In discord with the dlapaslon of belligerency in the popu lar breast.

PROLONGED DEBATE PROMISED Many Speeches Are Promised and . Time Will Be Consumed, Washington, April 15. The at tention of tho civilized world is focused on the senate of the United States. Upon its action probably de pends the momentous question be tween this ccuntry and Spain. The action of the house of representatives In adopting a resolution looking to armed intervention in the Cuban re bellion -transferred the center of In terest and action from one wing of the great marble capitol to the other. Upon the senate, therefore as was It erated and reiterated on the Hour to day, rests on the responsibility forde lay or action. For more than six hours the senate had the resolutions proposed by the committee on foreign relations under consideration. The speeches delivered upon the various phases of the sit uation, eloquent, spirited and vehe ment, as all of them wore, disclosed no Irreconcilable difference among those who spoke. All were in favor of action In some form by the gov ernment ot the United States. The most radical differences were as to whether the resolution finally adopted should recognize the Independence of the Cuban republic or simply declare for armed Intervention, with a view to the ultimate freedom and Inde pendence of the Cuban people. The speakers today were: Turner (Pop,, Wash,,) Hoar i(Rep. Mass.,) Turple. (Dem. Ind.,) Gray (Dem. Del..) and Fairbanks (Rep. Ind,) They wero accorded the most profound attention bath by senators on the floor and by the throngs In the galleries. Among those who listened to a part of the debate were Sir Julian Paunce fote and a considerable number of the diplomatic corps; Speaker Ueed, Jus tice Harlan, of the supreme court, and W. J. Bryan. The speeches were Interspersed with sharp and spirited colloquys, some of which caused in tense excitement in the galleries. Many times the applause, both on the floor and in tho galleries, was tumult uous and the ylce-pres'dent was obliged more than once to warn tho spectators that' no demonstrations unper the rules would .bo permitted. Within a few minutes of adjourn ment, a genuine sensation was created by the efforts of the vice-president to subdue tho applause Induced by tho effort made to prclong tho session un til a vote could be taken. Vice-President Hobart directly addressed the galleries and ordered that tho ap plause should cease. Nearly every senator was on his feet, and tho main aisle in front of the vice-president's desk was crowded wjth senators, "The chair Is himself out of order," shouted Gray. "Ho has no right di rectly toadrcss the people in tho gal leries." "Such a thing was neyerdone before In thesenate," declared Bate. "The applause was started by sena tors on the floor," some one shouted from tho crowd In front of the vice president's desk, "I started It myself," explained Mason, "and am prepared to assume tho responsibility for it." After vainly endeavoring on two oc casions to secure a time for a yote on tho resolutions, and after voting down a motion to adjourn, tho senate finally agreed to adjourn until 10 o'clock, to day. It is Impossible now to say when a vote will be taken, and at the utmost the friends of the resolution ,11000 for is to secure a vote by the end of the week. All day long, conferences of sena tors were held looklug to a possible agreement upon the form of resolu tion to be sent to the president. Great efforts were made for tho house resolution, which was known to bo satisfactory to the president, and which was supported by tho con servative senators. It is not believed that the house resolution can pass tho DUATORY senate, and the prospects aro that a committee will havo an amendment organizing tho republic of Cuba be fore It Is passed, the friends of recog nizing claiming a clear majority for it. Conservative senators believe the house proposition will win in confer ence, the Impression being that the house will refuse to yield, and pre vent delay, the friends of Cuba In tho senate will accept tho house proposi tion. When the scnalo adjourned last night, Senator Davis, in charge of the resolution, repeated Ills intention to ask the senate to sit continuously af ter the beginning of tho session to day unless an agreement to fix a time for a vote can be secured. "I see no other wny to bringing tho matter to an lssue,"he said. "I, of course, do not enjoy night session, any more than other senators, but I appreciate the Importance of getting the speeches off and of securing a vote at the earliest possible hour." Anxious as senator Davis and others of his mind are for a speedy vote, the Indications are for consider able delay. The vice president has already received requests from about 20 senators for recognition to speak, and o hers are expected to make simi lar application. All these Insist that hive no intention of speaking for the purpose of causing delay, but never theless they will consume many hours of time. It would seem now that even In case of a continuous session, a yoto would not be probable before Satur day. Tho list of those who have ex pressed a deslro to speak, Includes tho following senaters: Cullom, Daniel, Frye, Tillman, Wolcott, Spooner, Chilton, Piatt of Connecticut, Cannon. Pcttlgrew, Proc tor, Burrows, Bacon, Wellington, Stewart, Caffery, Hawley, White and Rawlins. Washington, April 15. Tho navy department purchased the Red Line steamer Venezuela. Negotiations for tho Paris and New York, the Amer ican Steamship Company's big liners, It is stated, are still in progress. Washington, April 15.

Ordered to Be Ready, Vancouver Barracks, April 15. There Is a rumor current hero that tho Sixteenth infantry, now stationed in the department of the Columbia, with headquarters at Fort Sherman, has been ordered to hold itself in read loess to movo at any time. It Is not possible to verify this re port hero, but it is very probable, as nearly all the Infantry regiments in tho service aro under orders, with tho exception of the Fourteenth, but it is thought by many hero that If war shall break out, tho portion of the Fourteenth now in Alaska will bo ordered back, and left in positions to defend this coast in connection with tho artillery. First Lleutenaut W. S. Graves, of the Seventh Infantry, has been or dered to take charge of the supplies of the families of tho Lapps wiio are now quartered at Fort Townsend, awaiting transportation to St. Mich aels, Alaska.

Spaniards Realize That War Is Inevita ble. Madrid, April 15. Tho newspapers here regard war as Inevitable. The latest dispatches from Washington have created profound excitement throughout Spain. The Spaniards protest against the "od'ous Imputa tion" that Spanish ofllccrsare respon sible for tho loss of tho Maine. It Is asserted that proof can be furnished to show that the torpedoes have never been laid In Huya.ia harbor. The of flcial Gazette will publish today a de cree organizing a national subscrip tions to increase the strength of the Spanish licet. The feature of the opposition press Is an endeavor to bring Weyler to tht front and make him champion of the cause ot revolution, un Icr the guise of tho savior of national honor. Weyler .undoubtedly has numerous followers, and even tho newspapeis which, ever slnco his return fioin Cuba, have violently denounced him, aro now lauding the former captain general ot Cuba as tho man who can save the nation. Weyler at Madrid.. MADKiu.April 15. Weyler arrlvrd here apparently having been called by the government, no considers war with the United States as Inevitable. Will Not Give Up Cuba. London, April 15. According to a special from Madrid, a Spanish minis ter has declared in an interview that should President McKInley notify Spain to evacuate Cuba this govern ment will Immediately and emphati cally refuse, and Is fu'ly prepared to take tho consequences. The govern ment does not regret according an armistice, as It thereby proves Its po sition from an International point of view and makes It moro dlffcult for tho United States to Intcrveno with out putting Itself completely In the wrong. Thero was a big revolutionary dem onstration at Valencia, capitol of tho Spanish province of that name, yesterday evening. A large crowd assembled, a red Hag was waved and tho "Marseillaise" sung. The police dispersed the people who took part in the demonstration and captured tho red flag. The Armistice. Nmv York, April 15.
