State elections were held last week
In Georgia and Florida. There was no
fusion between the Democrats and any
other party in either state, and the Re-
publicans had the temerity to lay claim
to both. Each gives an Overwhelming
Democratic victory.

the Democratic majority In the state

MADRID, Feb. 29.-The Impair
cial, referring to the action OF the
United States senate in regard to
Cuba, says the international situa-
ton is very grave, adding that the
recognition Of the Cubans as bel
ligerents by the United States in
wolves the danger of a daily con-
flict. The impartial also accuses
the Spanish premier, Senior Ca
novas Del Castillo, of "excess OF
patience before Yankee PRIDE"
"Spain, continues the paper, "must
prepare for every eventuality.
Our maritime sources are not
great; but we have not before us a
gigantic naval power. Our humil-
ity has been badly construed and
our enemy, instead Of being ap.
peased, thinks she could treat
Spain as she could Turkey. A
firm, resolute attitude would have
gained us more consideration, fol
we are not so weak as to render oul
hostility Indifferent to trading
people which have no warlike quail
tiles. Moreover, Spain is not desc
late in Europe"
