WASHINGTON, November 25.-The first
intimation yesterday of probable change
of administration in Spain, with Serrano as
dictator, came through British official
sources. To-day the story is varied in
another quarter, namely, that Castelar's
government is to be overthrown by a combi-
nation of ruling Spaniards. The plan is

WASHINGTON, November %. There was
a Cabinet session of two hours duration to-
day. ALI were present except Secretary
Robson, who is in Philadelphia The Vir-
ginius affair, only, received consideration.
Nonew facts were presented by the Sec
rotary of State, nor was any new action
taken relative to the subject, Nothing has
occurred since the capture of the Virginius,
and tho executions which followed, to show,
that the Spanish government is influenced
by any but friendly desire to preserve peace
between the two nations, and, if possible,
cultivate stronger relations of friendship.
This government will act toward Spain as
al other countries, in cases of controversy
and await, with a proper respect, replies to
our complaints. There is, however, anxiety
expressed for intelligence from Spain of a
decisive character, In order that Congress
may, in the Presidents message, be made
acquainted with all the facts. Il
There are indications that dispatches were
received tonight by both Secretary Fish

from Madrid, of character which gives a
more peaceful solution of the present COM
llplieation, and it is known that these gen
tlemen were in private conference for sew
eral hours tonight, at the. residence of Mr..
Fish, comparing dispatches and discussing
generally the situation of affairs. 1t seems
to be the impression that instead of our
government having to wait for reports from
Minister Sickles concerning the Spanish
Cabinets views, the Spanish Cabinet has
conferred extraordinary powers on Admiral
Poll to communicate directly with our gov
eminent through the Secretary of State.
At all events, the Spanish Minister is now
brought into more intimate communication
with Secretary Fish than at any time since
the present troubles began. D.
It was remarked by gentleman promi-
nently connected with this government that
things looked far more hopeful now than
ever before. oss s. q noe
