Something or other is going on in Spain, not yet

quite in- telligible. General Martinez Campos, the "pacificator of Cuba," has come home with demands as to the policy to be pursued there, which apparently the King approves, but the Conservatives do not. A Ministerial crisis is, therefore going -on, of a most confusing kind, the result of which will, it is believed, be that a more Liberal Ministry will be formed, possibly 'under Sagasta, possibly under General Jovellar, in which General Martinez Campos will be Minister of War. It seems to be felt in Spain, and is certainly said, that Martinez Campos could have taken the Premiership, if he had pleased, and is completely master of the situation. In fact, he is for the present the array's man, and the army still rules Spain.
