CANOVAS KILLED.


has developed a powerful sentiment In
Spain. Why are the veterans kept at
home? Look at this powerful republican
element that has grown up. the effect Of
denuding the country Of Its young men
and the personal aatagonism thus engen-
dered. the proximity of Spain TO the
broad liberal influences of the French re-
public. where there are ties of mutual at
lection, and the government exeTts itself
10 help its citizens. The act does not
mean A personal prejudice against Cano-
vas, but against his political stand and
views. and the extreme element he repre-
scented. 1t was the well-deyeioped system
of the most deprecated anfagonism TO the
creed OF the Canoyas party. The BARGE
Iona Incident gave evidence OF the ire
mendous anu-administrauon operations
and the stricken preulier's Endorsement Of
Weyier, putting him In command Of Bar
celona. after that affair greatly added to
Canosas' unpopuiarity. The indications
point to the assassin as o victim of that
Barcelona incident.

iematical. / believe however. that the ad-

able and II Is quite likely. that Senior
PraNedes Mateo Ssgaeta the distinguished
liberal statesman. may succeed Canoya as
premier. sagasta IL 70 years old, was min

Il believe that the Cuban conflict will
be ended ST the end OF this present rainy

ton OF the affair would thus be brought
about in October.
