OUTBREAK FEARED-A SPANISH NAVAL COM
MISSION TO VISIT THE UNITED STATES TO PUR-
CHASE MONITORS.
MADRID, April 8. The government is about
to send a naval commission to New York to buy
monitors for Cuba.
The proposition to establish triumvirate
has been abandoned. 1t met with many prac-
tical objections, the most formidable OF which
wAs that any change in the form of administra-
tion would tend to delay the settlement Of the
financial difficulties Of the country.
MADRID, April 9..-Evening. Much political
excitement exists in this city, and apprehen-
sions are entertained that the evaporation Of
party feeling will result in an outbreak. The
police and military authorities are taking every
precauticn to prevent disorder.
The appointment Of General Caballero do
Roda 10 the Captain Generalship Of Caba has
not been finally determined upon by the Provi-
sional Government; but should General de
Roda be retained in his command in this coun-
