ment in View of the parliamentary situa-
ton caused by the refusal OF liberals TO
take part in the elaboration OF the cortes.

after heated debate on the Morgan bel
llgorcucy resolution adopted by the United
States senate

council tomorrow in order to discuss the
situation.

the World says: The crisis is extremely
grave. Never since the death of King Al
fonso XII In 1885 has Queen Chrlstiana
found herself in so serious and difficult a

The queen eau only pursue the latter
course after duly considering all the Iros-

everything on the success OF liberal gov

The liberals seem confident; the conserv-
atiyes are downcast. In the military clubs
and IN politcnl circles the majority be-
lieye that the queen will decide to have d
liberal government.
The general impression throughout the
CITY tonight Is that Senior Sagasta is likel,

the latter could hardly reverse the colonial
policy or recall Weyler.
