Gullon, minister of foreign affairs;
GroiZard, minister of justice; General
Correa, minister of war; Admiral Ber-
mejo, miaister of marine; puigcerver,
minister of finance; Capdepon, minis

minister of public works; Morel, min
lister of colonies.
The cabinet is regarded as fairly
strong, although some disap-
looked upon as probable members
Maura, Arijo and others who had been
looked upon as probable members
are not included. 1t is understood
that Maura who was the author of
the first Cuban home rule bill felt
that he could not act satisfactorily
with Morel, while Gamazo, who is a
relative of Maura, feared that his
presence might imply a leaning to-
wards the Maura scheme of reforms.
Consequently Sagasta was compelled
to take less prominent men.

been irreproachable and after reiter-

States. he concludes: "Sagasta's re-
81 possibility is heavy and by no
means enyiabie. 1t is dangerous to
admit in negotiations with the
Cubans any interference of the United
States. IS the latter would thereby
acquire a kind of right to control the

impossible to mistake the aims Of
American diplomacy which are TO
gradually detach Cuba from Spain.
