SPANISH ELECTIONS.
The SaEaSta Cove eminent Wins ONT
by a Big MINORITY The
Voting in Cuba.

Madrid, March 2S.-The elections for
the popular branch of the cortes have
passed Off, on the whole, quietly. The
indications are that the government
of Senior Sagasta will have an enormous
majority, estimated at 300 of the 432
seats in the congress.
Havana, March 2S-Election day in
Havana was more quiet than many
election days in New York, Chicago and
other large American cities. The gov
eminent took admirable precautions in
the nature of a police guard, which
proved effective. There was good
deal Of apprehension among some Of
the Americans, owing to the distribu-
ton of a threatening circular, but it
was recognized that this emanated
from irresponsible quarters, and its
threats were disregarded by all except
the very nervous. It's too soon to give
the result of the elections, but claims
are made that the government ticket,
including 20 autonomists and ten con-
servatives, has been elected. The vote
in the city was very light.
