He said that the nations of Europe In attaining
higher degree OF civilization threw or the ira
ditional bonds which fettered the public mind.
Spain delayed for long time following the example
OF her neighbors. She now calls on her representa-
tives to construct new edilce. The revolution has
achieved boodless victory The strength OF the
nation has not been impaired; but the extravaganza
OF former administrations has disorganlzed and
embarrassed its finances. The government relies
upon the Cortes to remedy this by econom-
ical reforms and changes in the admins
tration by wise legislation In regard TO

interest thereon and by economizing the expenses
OF the army and navy. The fundamental princi-
pies OF radical liberalism which had been
adopted In relation to religion, the press and
education by the provisional government must
now be consolidated by the action Of the

for the rising in Cuba. That due to the errors Of
past governments. He expressed the hope that the

isned without precipitation and without compro-
missing the prosperity OF the Antilles In conclusion

with foreign nations, now more intimate than ever
before.
