A QUEENS PIQUE.

Considerable speculation still prevails as to
the true motives which induced the Regent Of
Spain to dispense with the services OF SenOr
Capasta at a moment when his Parliamentary
majority was larger than at any time during
his five wears tenure OF the Premiership. lie
had only lust succeeded in recOnciling his
differences with General Lopez Dominique
and with other diSsident members Of the Lib
eral party his popularity among the masses
had reached its zenith in consequence OF his
restoration of the universal suffrage that cX-
listed twenty years ago; and CASTELAR,, the lead
or of the powerful Republican element III the
Peninsula. had publicly announced the lntcn-
ton of his followers to continue to maintain
their attitude of friendly neutrality toward the
monarchy so long as Sagasta pursued the ac-
cOmpliShmcnt of his extensive programme OF
reforms So far as can be ascerHlncd, the
great Liberal Minister to whose sagacty and
craftsmanship alone the Regency is indebted
for its survival of the critical times which
followed the death of the late King owes his
DOWNFALL not to any adverse vote nor TO any
question great or small Of policy, but to u
mere fit of feminine pique from which IT would
appcar that not even Queens are exempt.
Like Isabella II and old Queen Christina
before her, the widow of Alfonso XII has
surrounded herself with clique of generals
who have earned most of their grades not on
the field of battle, but in pronuncamentoS, and
! who resented the presence at the head Of
affairs of a mere civilian administrator who
| declined to submit to their influence. More
over Sagasta had on several occasions dis
played a wholesome severity toward certain OF
| their comrades who had been guilty of utilizing
their official rank and prestige to aSSail pub
! icy the policy of the Government to which
| they owed obedience. He was, therefore, an
object of their particular hatred, and for some
| time past all their efforts have been directed
! toward securing his downfall. Ii was only a
| few weeks ago that SagaSta was forced 10
protest against the pardon which the Queen
had been induced by her military advisers u
grant to a general who had been sentenced
10 arrest for grave breaches of discipline and
on the day when he left Office he is known to
have incurred the openly expressed resentment
of Dona Christina by complaining that some
of the bittereSt attacks to which his admins
tration was subjected had originated in court
circles.
Immediately on receiving Sagasta'S resigna-
ton the Queen, without realizing the danger OF
the step. intruStcd the formation of a new adj
ministration to the Conservative leader Senior
CanOvas The latter speedily realized that it
was hopeless to attempt to administer the Gov

The Frcsh-Air Fund is known as one OF the

VAR IN CENTRAL AMERICA.

Revolution in Salvador has been quickly 1ol-
lowed by rumors of the outbreak OF war WIN
Guatemala. If the news of the first engage
ment be fully cOrroborated, all hope OF the
consummation of the unfcatOn scheme so rlch
in promise for the future of Central America
will have to be abandoned. If the Guatemalan
forces have met with a decisive reverse, there
will probably be a revolution in that country,
for a Government responsible for defeat ny the
smaller rival State will be despised and quickly
overthrown With the two states which were
heading the movement for the unliicailon OF
the five Central American Powers not ohly at
war. but also reduced TO deplorable CONDITION
If political anarchy the constitutional scheme
which was to have gone into effect In Septem-
her will inevitably be abandoned. ms VIII
be a grave misfortune for uni'icalon would
have been progressive and enlightened pol
lev The five States if once brought INTO or
qanic union would have formed a powerful and
populous nation. and marked development OF
industrial resources and foreign trade would
nave followed.
The outbreak of new war in the peninsula
which has been constantly rent aSmder 10y
political fcuds and civil discord since the Span
ish conquest, enrorces the necessity for that
pacifc policy OF arbitration recommended by
the recent international Conference. Great a
woud be the gain to civilization from the
creation of a federal union in Central America.
il is inconside able IN comparison with the adj
vantagoS 10 be derived from the cessation OF
war The present campaign between salvador
and Guatemala will not only prevent the eStab-
lishment of the federal system, but II will also
exhaust the resources of both countries, plunge
them heavily into debt, and excite once more
that evil passion for hloodshed which Is the
worst defect of the Spanish American char
actcr. How benign would be the results Of
diplomacy which could succeed in establishing
arbitration tribunals and aycrting these iratr-
cidal wars, It is policy worthy OF the high
est aspirations of American craftsmanship. No
contribution which the United states can make

will be so valuable as the development by the
force OF its own example OF this principle oil
arbitration as a substitute for war.
