ment shall accept his resignation unless he is
granted In full the extraordinary powers enjoyed
by his predecessors The government has con-
ccded increased powers. but they are restricted
by certain conditions.
The VOC de cuba says the only reason JovelIar

do so.
The Voz and the Dt0rio declare that the conser-
vatves favor the grant OF extraordinary powers.
for the only way to save Cuba to Spain Is to de-
clare martial law throughout the island, levy
forced contributions aud call out the militia to
suppress the rebellion. The execution OF the re.
form laws must be postponed to more fitting op-
portuntJy.
