Pacilcation Is a Comedy.
MADRID, May 29.-Extreme tension
continues between the political par
ties. The Heraldo in defending Sa-
gasto against the insmuations made

the deplorable military situation in

of the rebels, that there is only one
Spanish column operating over a dist
riot of 30. 900 square miles and that in
whole eastern regions in Cuba the
Spanish troops have yetset foot.

protesting against Sagastas, leader of
the Spanish liberals, speeches against
this conservative because the effect
produced in the United States were
written by conservatives in Madrid.
