Spain has a new Ministry, with S. Zorilla, able person

of Radical views, remarkable for not stealing, at its head, and the new Cabinet has put forward its programme. It promises to maintain order, to reconcile Church and State, to present an equalized budget at once to the Cortes, to keep up most friendly relations with Portugal and the 1Spanish-American Republics, and to put down the insurrection in Cuba at any cost. That is as good as Spanish programmes always are ; they never fail in any- thing except realization. Still the country is quiet, and there has been no successful pronuneiainento for two years end a half.
