differing from the one previously semi:

ing the Government cause. The Presi.
dent appeals to- all, in the presence OF
war, to sink and efface party differences.
No policy is possible for the Govern.
ment,; except q continuance of war.
Spaniards should keep in mind that
while it continues, 1t imperils their
young republic, their ancient liberties,
their conquests,y ytheir civilization. We
strive to maintain the position OF mo-
dern European people; hence war,
though abnormal, requiring the sus.
pension OF certain social functions and
the temporary sacrifice, is necessary,
jast as in fever abstinences from COCA
sional food is necessary. Wemnst have
standing army-an army consolidating
the revival OF the military penal code and
the restoration OF discipline. The Go.
vernnlent has distributed military COM
mands among generals of all parties, in
order to give the army q national oharao-
ter We have not escaped the tyranny of
kings to submit to the tyranny of par
ties. The President speaks in terms OF
praise of tho Republican troops The
war expenses daring The recess, he says,
have amounted to 400. 100000 reals.
He recommends legislation for gratuit-
ous public instruction and for the uboii-
ton OF seryile labor and slavery within
the Spanish dominions on both sides of
the Atlantic. He saye the .Cortes may
establish stable government, and
European powers will soon recognize
the republic, to which none of them
have any invincible antipathy. All
countries desire primarily the mainte-
nance Of order and the protection OF the
vast interests of commerce.. He pro-
misses shortly to submit documents re-
lative to the Virginius affair, which will
demonstrate that war has been avsrted.
while the principles Of international law
have been upheld by the course of the
Government. In closing, tho Presi.
dent congrstulates the Oortas that the
condition OF affairs is greatly improved.
The army is recovering from the effects
OF insubordination. Riotous outbreaks
are ceasing. Municipal authorities no
longer seek to exercise Dictatorship.
Popular risings, barbados and pronun-
ciamentos have been annihilated by
universal suffrage. He appeals to the
Cortes to do their duty and receive the
verdict of history as the conservative
founders Of the Spanish republic.
In the Cortes. to-day. the deputies,
on two votes. gave majorities against
President CASTELAR,. Gen. Pavia, who ia
