Spanish Affairs.

MADRID, November 19th.-ln the Senate
last night the Opposition declared that Pre-
mier Sagastas policy was responsible for
the military meeting in September. Senior
Sagasta replied that any one who should
have predicted that a year would elapse
after the death Of King Alfonso without
any disturbance more serious than an up
rising of 200 unorganized men, which was
entirely suppressed within two hours,
would have been ridiculed. Continuing,
the Prime Minister said the suppression of
revolt was due more to the improved GUS
toms of the country and the virtues and
talents of the Queen than to the efforts of
the Government, which, however, had done
its best to preserve order.
General Salamanca attacked Premier Sa-
gasta personally, and, amid general MUIR
murs, declared that the only way to bring
about a fall of the Government was by re-
sorting to a military uprising. General
Castello Minister of War, condemned the
efforts to make the armya political engine.
He said the policy of the Government was
to make of the men composing the army
good soldiers who would ever be ready to
serve their country and follow its flag.
The general opinion is that the Govern
ment carried OFF the honors of the debate,
and that the opposition made nothing by
its attack.

choice of new Prince for Bulgaria, the
official organ, La 7ar9uie contains the fol-
lowing remarkable comments ut is gen
orally acknowledged that the Berlin treaty
is incomplete, in that it does not provide
for the election of Prince of Bulgaria. In
case of abdication the Government finds
itself in blind alley, and the Powers are
unable to solve the pending difficulties. 1t

of the Berlin treaty should come to an un-
derstanding as to what must be done, or
that they should leave the Porte the in
itiative of action in Bul garia'
