The Herald special from Madrid says
the cause of the fall of Sagostas
Ministry was the presentation to the
Spanish Parliament of the treasury
budget, when it was found that $40, 0O0,-
900 had been diverted from the use of
the colonial TO interior departments.
Sagosta's explanation was unsatisfac-
tory, and the particulars Of the ac-
count were demanded by the Cortes,
when it was found it had been expended
in the police spy department Accord
ing to the records produced in the police
department every prominent Spaniard is
represented as being involved in con-
spiracy against the government, and
Madrid appears to be vast nest Of po-
litical intrigue. Marshal Serrano and
other distinguished politicians are, ac-
cording to the records and letters of the
secret service department, implicated in
conspiracies against the government of
Amadeus, who is represented as asking
advice of his father, the King of Italy,
as to the propriety of employing Prus-
sian generals in the army This glimpse
of Spanish parties in intrigues has the
effect of political earthquake.
The Cortes re.assembled yesterday.
The resolution of censure against the
late ministry was rejected. The Cortes
will adjourn about the middle of June.

net appointed by Serrano: President Of
