The Madrid; corre spondent of The, Daily Mail telegraph ing Tuesday says: xnere is no longer aiy doubt that the internal situation is causing the government .almost as much uneasiness as the external. Last nigbt's demonstration was one of j the most serious in some timei; since those openly participating showed their revo lutionary tendencies. Cries were rais ed of "Down with the Bourbons!" "Long live Don Carlos!" "Long live the and "'Long live Weyler!" Republic!" j.ne nrsi move oi tne , demonstrators, over 1.000 strong, was to the house of General Weyler, with the- object "of cheering him. He did not appear and the crowd i then, went to the residence of Senor Sagasta while the ministers were in conference and shouted in far vor of- his resignation. ; . The events of the last few days have undoubtedly increased the popularity of General Weyler, who favors an out and out war policy. . At the same time there is no real ground for. anticipating that he will 'come to the head of af fairs. General ? Weyler is notorious, but not a j prominent person in . Span ish politics. -Every one recognizes that Weyler"s' cruelty in Cuba and his poli- cv as to ( the recohcentrados largely contributed to-bringing about the pres ents sfate of affairs, while his alleged notorious laxity, with regard to the pub lic money has made him much disliked. Public opinion is always l$ely to mis trust him; and he is unpopular with the queehtregent. The country en masse is' opposed to the. Idea of a re public.

Paudb Abandons, Bay amo It t I Oeenpled by tbe Cubans Under Gen eral Garcia. (Copyright by "Associated Press.), Montego Bay, Jamaica, via Kings ton, Jamaica, May 3. General Pando, the commander; of the Spanish forces in the field, withdrew the Spanish gar rison from Bayatno, one of the import ant towns of the province of Santiago, de Cuba, on Aprii 25th, and refugees who have arrived here from Manzanil lo, the port of Bayamo, by the schooner Governor Blake say that General Ca lixto Garcia the insurgent commander, occupied the town the next day. Ba yamo, or San Salvador, is situated about sixty miles northwest of the city of Santiago de Cuba. It has a popula tion of abut 7,000 souls, in times of peace. There Is no knowing what its population is at present. , The Spanish merchants and resi dents of Bayamo, ' it appears, - were in great fear of plunder and massacre, but General i Garcia issued a proclamation, declaring that the property of - Span iards and their I civil rights ? would be -respected. The general also personally assured rthe: leading Spaniards of the place that -they were perfectly safe in remaining at Bayamo, with the result that business went on as usual and tranquility prevails there. The: people began bringing in vegetables and' meat from the country and the prices of, provisions fell. No cases of outrage have been reported. General Pando is understood to be at Manzanillo, near the river Cauto. with the main body of the troops whose op- erations he has been directing in eastr- ern Cuba. Up to! April 27th, about 6.000 men, or one-third of General Pando's forces, had been sent to Havana, and it is said more of them are to go to the Cuban' capital. They will be ac companied by General Pando himself. The population of Manzanillo, which was about 12,000 souls before the war, has now; shrunk to 5,000 and food is double and treble the ordinary prices. But few ; preparations have been made for the defense of Manzanillo. .

What, promised to : be ' an eventful and uninteresting session of the house was thrown sud denly, after threfe hours' consideration of private bills, into a 'session of spir ited speeth-making among democratic members'! that savored much at times of acrimony.' The storm was precipi tated byi Mr. teWis, democrat, of f Washington,' who referred, in "the course of a speech to the recent vote of Mr. Cummingsi of New Tork, in sup port, of the war revenue bill with its Incorporated bond features. He made reference ' to Mr. f Cummings' assertion that this I; period was a time for plac ing the country above party; intimat ing that the New York member 'had served the republican party and per haps contributed to the satisfaction of unpatriotic monopolists and capital ists.

Key West, Fla., May 3. The Spanish mail steamer Argonauta, Captain Lage, the news of whose capture was telegraphed yesterday, was conveyed into Key West jharbpr ,.by..tnf.ITBi'tfld States cruiser Marblehead this after noon. It appears that Colonel Vincete de Coreijo, of : the Third Spanish cav alry, who, with nineteen" other army officers, was taken on the prize, is a brother-in-law of Lieutenant General Valerino Weyler. Cotonel del Cortejo and the other officers were transferred to the Gftido and the privates to the Ambrosio Bolivar, two trophies of the first week of the war that are still ly ing in the ,harbor. The Argonauta iier self is no mean i prize, being 1,000 tons burden, but the value of the! capture lies mainly in the prisoners of war, and the mail matter going ; toj General piarico. Her cargo is general merchan dise, with a large quantity of arms and ammunition intended for .the Spanish, tropps in Cuba.

The day passed without a single word from the Amer ican fleet in thej Philippines and fin view of the j long continued interrup tion in cabl communication the offl cials are begtnnlg to resign themselves to the belief IthSt they must await for their official mews until a boat arrives at Hong: Kong-.l?his will not necessari ly be a naval ;vei Bel, for it is not believ ed that! Commt?.Jore DeWey, who will be admiral as si n as he can be reach ed by cable, cotld have spared any of his ships, even Jjhe McCulloch, to carry dispatches befoj-e- the bombardment. In ordinary times there is plenty of com munication by, steamers as well as by native vessels, . between the Philippine and 'thej mainland and the officials -will be rather surprised if some news is not coming pay this "means 'tomorrow. If Commodore ' Dewey , wants troops to hold! what 5 he may gain, in the Philippines he will be sent as many as he, ndeds directly frorhiSan Francis co, and at' is very likelv that state vol - unteers will mave up the quota. . The cabinet i talk: about this today and is only waiting to hear what Commodore D.ewey wants. f DEVELOPING ?PL,ANS OF CUBAN " . i CAMPAIGN. ; v- '. " Meanwhile, the' plans of the Cuban campaign are being steadily developed and there is no indication of a change of purpose on the: part of the military authorities, who are expected to land an expeditionary force in Cuba, in a very short time. Admiral Sampson, .so far as the navy department knows, is steadily j maintaining the blockade of the Cuban coast, and this is; not likely to be abandoned for the present, though jtwo or three of his ships may be sent jaway temporarily-td meet the Oregon, pn her way. to Cuba from-Rio Jahiero. j While the officials of the navy department naturally f eel a warm in terest in this race of the magnificent battleship reaching the continent; they profess to feel little anxiety as to the" outcome), notwithstanding the current talk of jan effort on the part of the Spanish flyingsquadron to cut off the OregonJ The vessel sailed from Rio oh a course known only to the cap tain and the chances? of being overtak en on the high seas , are very small. Even should the-Spanish Vessels fall in with her it is by no means certain, notwithstanding their (numbers, that she would be defeated by the combined Spanishi force, as her magnificent ar mor and! ordnance are superior ih every, respect, ! size .'an4'j quality, to those of the Spanish hipj3. " ; The proclamation directed against the Spanish Residents i of the United States by the, state, department has hot yet been issued nor' is jt certain ,that it will be issued; that probably de pending upon the " course pursued by the Spanish government in their, treat ment of American citizens' in Spain. CHINA'S NKUTRALITY DECREE. China! issued her neutrality procla mation today, so there is now no place left on the: Asiatic coast 'open to the free us of ; the war vessels of either Spain or the United States. This is rather reniarkable, in that it marks the first! action of, this kind on the part of Chink, which has never before is sued a neutrality proclamation, and the naval officers are duly grateful for the consideration shown by the Chinese government in withholding the issue of the decree until informed : that the Americans liadacquired a base in the Philippine islands. . ; The army bought a hospital ship to day for the benefit of the troops going to Cuba. Commissary General , Nash was retired, making the fourth com missary general' to be retired within as many months; ' Reports received at the navy department from the juiantono mah show that the monitor was rougb ly handled by the storm while making her way south -to . Key. West from League .Island, -.tiler decks were swept and frequent delays, were caused by the disarrangement kof -ome' of the ship's structure. Throughout it all, however, the propelling machinery -worked splen didly. ; - ' :t. ' Washington : will soon'; be gay with uniforms, as a result of an order to day reauifing all officers to wear the uniforms of their proper grades. LEfc AND WHEELER TO, BE MAJOR t ,.: GENERALS. ,: Adjutant General Corbin had a-con- ferehce with the president this after noon c6ncerning the nominia.tion of ma jor generals arid brigadier generals, which, accordinfg to present intentions, will -i)ei sent c"to the s'enafe tomorrow: General . Corbitt took with him to the White house a full list of those nomi- nations which had been agreed upon by the war ;department. officials. After a twenty minutes' conferencevr with the president, General Corbin returned to the department to make some altera tions in the list suggested by the presl dient. It is understood to have, been decided to name General Shatter, who has been designated to lead the army of invasion into Cuba; General Fitzhugh Lee, and General -Joe Wheeler, of the confederate cavalry fame as major generals. It is regarded as probable that the president may .also nominate General Woodford, former minister to Spain, to be afmajor, general. Concerning the appointment , of brig adier generalsj It Is said to be the purr pose. of the president, so far as possi ble, to take the candidates from, the rank of colonels inthe regular army.' This will disappoint some of the candi-; dates for important commands. The Freneh5embassy is the only for eign establishment - in - Washington which has received official dispatches on the battle of Manila These came from the French ambassador at Mad rid and were drawn from Spanish re ports. It was 'stated from Ber'lntnat-' the foreign office there had cabled, re ports t6 all theGermari embassies, but lv. ,K.oov' here had not re- celved a word on the subject up to. a late hour today. . . . ,-., Who has cut the 'ablf1aatanTIia J a source of much speculation It is thought; to -have beenimpossible - for Commodore Dewey to have cut the ca blemaW he was unacquainted with : its location fifty miles seaward, and more over there appears to If .ve been , no motive for an interruption of cable Communication dh his part. Repeated rumors were afloat during the day; to the effect that the British embassy had been advised of the fall pf Manila just before the cable communi cation ceased. At 5 o'clock this even ing Sir Julian Pauncefote declared that he had no such information. " r NEWS FROM GOMEZ EXPECTED. . The Cuban authorities here expect to receive early information direct from the camp of General Gomez, .-brought by Brigadier General Nunez, who left PRICE 5 CENTS. for th& War. here about "ten days ago and succeed ed in landing with a party and mak ing .his way to Gomez camp. The par ty was a small one and took along supplies, .but its main purpose was to open communications with Gomez and bring word as to his resources and readiness for an agressive movement. ... Qfficails , of .the Cuban delegation say General Nunez is likely to come out to one ot the American warships on his return trip, and thence to Key West -to make reports to the-authorities here; " COMMODORE DEWEY'S PROMO- ' 1 ' TION. Secretary Long anounced today that as soon 'as the department received ah official report from Commodore- Dewey, confirming the press accounts of his victory in the battle of Manila, a ca blegram would be sent to that officer, congratulating him upon the splendid -performance of the American fleet uri--der his . direction, - Moreover, said the secretary, ? as soon as the necessary confirmation is at hand, Commodore Dewey will be made an admiral in re cognition of his valor. This; will be accomplished immediately by - an exe- , cutive or4er designating him acting admiral, just as was done In the case off Captain Sampson. Later on he prob ably will .be nominated in the senate inj the usual course of promotion to the rank of admiral. -'- 4 Fv'ElNCII REPORT OF THE AT-. .;" '; TILE.

Pari$ stating that the French am-' ibassador'at 'Madrid, M, Patenotre, has forwarded official details of the Span- ish reverse at iManila. The report was based on 'the latest Spanish official advices. It states that the Spanish cruisers "Reina t?aria Christina and Castilla were totally burned up after being set on fi re by ibomibs from the enemy's-(American) ships. , Two of the , smaller Spanish ships, were sunK in or der to avoid, falling into the ih'ands of the enemy.

' : ' Secretary Gage told, the1 committee I, that the best estimates obtainable in- j dicate that for the, next two months j the war will -increase the governmental' i exipenditure aboutJlSO.OOO.OOO and that " toyj that time the entire amount in the treasury, witfli the exception of the gold ' reserve, would . 'be exhausted and $30. 000,000 of the reserve also'taken. Mr. :. kGage- also stated it; to "be this opinion tnat tne revenues woula decrease on account of the war.; In view. of these tfac-ts, . he considered some authoriza- tUn for the issue of 'bonds necessary; He said no estimate had -been made of the cost of the war for a year hence, ; -; as no one could say how long it would i continue. . - - - " Secretary Alger told the commltttee ' :' that he thought flZO, 000 000 would be " sufficient to meet , the extraordinary expenses of the war department for the next year, ocoassioned Iby the Spanish , war.

When the eonumttee adjourned to night, there was ho certainty when the work on the war revenue 'bill would be concluded. The democrats had not-offered any of their propositions and the bond question had ii&t been taken up it'h a view ot disposing of it. The democratic ro"-ers of the committee : not appear to have yet agreed upon a substitute-for the (bond provision, but the present indications are that if will be a tax on corporations- .
