Cannot Recognize INSURGENTS.

Madrid, May 12.-At a meeting of the
Lii u deputies and senator's last even
ing nor Sagasta admitted the difficult
ties attending the immediate application

the Spanish troops, burn property and
commit murders.
Continuing, Senior Sagasta expressed
the belief that President Cleveland will

fed position
Senior Sagasta also promised to sup
