According to the Paris correspondent
Of the London Times, Spain Is on the
brink Of another revolution. Not thai
the COrtes 10 hostile to the monarchy.
On the contrary, the ministry now In
office loyalty support the King, and
only offend the majority OF the Cortes
by their iusistance on universal suf-
frage, without educational or property
qualification for the exercise Of the
elective franchise.
Senior Segasta, whose followers con.
stitute majority of the Cortes, and
whose opposition to the program OF
Senior Posada Herrera, the prime min.
lister, threatens a dissolution of that
body, is also monarchist OF a decided
type. -.
1t Is the army that excites fear. II
Is considered doubtful whether King
Alfonso, in the event of the dissolution
of the Cortes on account Of the in
possibility of forming out OF its
present membership stable ministry,
could depend for support upon the
Spanish army. Zorilla's recent move
ment was not without effect, and the
Zorillaists and Carlists are again Al
work.
The Times correspondent is of opinion
that the alternative will soon be pre-
scented of ch ice between anarchy and
absclutism, with the probability that
independence and freedom will sue
cumb.
Senior Moret, minister Of the interior,
asserts, however, in the Chamber OF
Deputies, that there is 10 reason to APP
prehend renewal OF disturbances in
the provinces.
