the dog took another mouthful, but did not pur-

SERRANo's ACCESSION TO POWER might be
the end OF the Spanish Republic. Such is the
general belief. American sympathy with the
democratic effort on the Peninsula has been
strong since the fall of Amadeus, and, as
result, our government has admitted senti-
mentalism in dealing with Spain on the vir-
lginius question. Ii military dictator like
Serrano, should succeed CASTELAR, in the Span
ish government, we should have all trouble
about injuring a republic In pressing our
claims off our conscience-wherei it now weighs
most heavily.
