Con los rumores que circular acerca
de una pr6xima crisis en- ell seno del ga
binete canovista, las miradas de la OPT
nion estan fjas en- ell senior Sagasta.
Lo que hace, 10 que dice hasta 10
que piensa este connotado hombre pu-
blico es obieto de la curiosidad general
y de seriosidades por parte de la prem
sa.
Aparte la impOrtancia efectiva que
tiene, EN- tiempos anormales, cualquier
declaration de las personalidades que
dirigen la polftica espanola, EN- ell senior
Sagasta concurren circunstanclas espe-
cialfsimas.
Es EN- primer lugar ell jefe de un par
tido, que desde largos amos, viene
turnando pacfticamente con ell conserva-
dor ell cetro de gobierno, Sc lie consi-
dera como Immediate successor del Sc
nor Canovas.
Despu6s, sus patri0ticas y refexivas
palabras, EN- 10 que las cuestiones ul-
tramarinas concierne, difundidas de un
extreme 4 otro Gle la Madre patria por
los periodicos peninsulares han hecho
nacer EN- gran parte del pueblo la espe
rama de que ell solamente el es ell uni
co llamado resolver, de modo ter
minante, los dolorosOs males que afii-
gen Il La nacion.
'Existe, por ultimO, Otra circunstancia
mas: la que ofrecen los autonomistas
de Puerto-Rico, solicitando, por medic
de una comision, alianzas 8 pactos con
los partidos democraticos nacionales.
Entire dichas agrupaciones fgura la
que acaudilla ell senor Sagasta y este es
un nuevo motive de espectacion, pues
Sc aguarda, mas que con curiosidad, con
vivfsimo inter6s, la respuesta que dara
ell jefe de los liberales los represen-
tantes autonOmistas.
Sc explica perfectamente este afan,
toda vez que cuantO decida el senior
Sagasta en- este punto, bien sea adverse,
bien sea favorable las gestiones de los
comisionados, tendra decisivas conse-
cuencias para ell porvenir de esta an
tilla.
Ultimamente ha sido muy comentada
en- los cfrculos pOlfticos de Madrid la
vista hecha por ell senor Sagasta a ;. M.
la Reina Rcgente.
Algunos peri6dicos, no obstante, ~La
Iberia, >-si NAL no recordamos -califica
tai vista como un acto de pura cor
tesla.
Pero la prensa en- general asegura
que Sagasta exPuso a la Reina algunos
iuicios respecto los asuntos de Cuba.
Esto no reviste mayor importancia,
pues va son cOnocidas, en- esta materia,
las opiniones del prohombre fusionista.
Mas la prensa no Sc limita a este.
Anade que ell senior Sagasta no solo
expuso su juicio sin6, ademas, los me-
dios de resolver el probIema.
Esto 81 que es de notoria trancenden-
cia.
5Medios para resolver ell problema de
Cuba?
Pues la naci6n debe conocerlos al ms
tante no Sc explica c6mo-dado case
de que sea verdadera la version-no Sc
hayan expresado en- t6rmino tan con-
cretos aquellos peri6dicos que traducen
las inspiraciones del partido fusionista.
Precisamente, 81 de algo Sc lamentan
en- la actualidad los criterios que saben
yer claro en- ell fondo de las cosas, es
de la vaguedad indecisi6n, de la falta
de fjeza que Sc nota en- nuestros
polfticos, tan pronto como
traten de resolver, 8 siquiera de ate
nuar, los graves conhictos que nos
atiigen.

GOV. 0'FARaALl's REASONS
For Cutting Away from Mrs. Lease .AIigeld.
TiIIman. Bryan Combination.

Washington, Nov. Gov O'Ferrall
of Virginia. in published interview
expresses himself strongly on the re-
suit of the election which lie considers
has saved the country from disaster.
Il am Democrat he said, have
always been and shall always be in
principle but l want none of the
Messrs. Lease Altgeld- Tiliman- Bryan
combination in mine. l am sorry that
the good people of the South cut loose
from those who sent the most capital
into her midst for the development of
her industries and tied herself to the
little silver burroS Of the West.
when did any of those Western
silver states ever send dollar into
the South that would aid in the de-
velopment of its industries? Has not
nearly every dollar come from the
North? But they cut loose from the
North, spit in the teeth of New York,
Massachusetts and Connecticut and
the other states which have spent
money in developing her industries.
II have stood by the Democratic
party for "a years and worked hard
for its success. had to cut loose from
it when l refused to vote for Horace
Greedy. a Republican, and this time l
could not vote for Bryan, a Populist."

the sooner whatever tariff legislation pro-
posed is accomplished. the better. The

be pursued. | cannot believe. however
that a majority of the Senate. as it will

general thing, it is too costly to bring it

the matter is found in the rafting of it.
