minister of war, Lieutenant General
/ Correa; minister of marine, Senior Au-

nor Lopez Puigcerver; minister of the

ter of justice, Senior c. Groizeard; min
lister of public instruction, Senior Ga
mazo.
Senior Sagasta will submit the names
of the ministers TO the queen regent
during the day, and the cabinet officers
will be sworn in this evening. The
premier will act as foreign minister
pending the arrival here of Senior Cas-
tillo.
D. m.-Senor Sagasta has teIe-
graphed Senior Leon Castillo, now at
Paris, TO come to Madrid Immediately
to take up the foreign office portfolio
WILL EXPEL CORRESPONDENTS.
London, May 19.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Morning Post says:
''One of the first acts of the new cab
met Will be the expulsion from Span
the American newspapers and of such
British correspondents as are suspected
of sending Objectionable matter"
THE NEW CABINET.
London, May 19.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Daily News says: Cap
tain Aunon (the new Spanish minister
of marine) is still a young man, but he
is believed TO possess special ability for
his new post. Some think it would
have been well to place him in COM
mand of a Spanish squadron. The di-
rectiCn of the navy is now almost the
heaviest immediate task of the govern
ment. but the queen regent believes
that foreign affairs are of not less i'm
pOrtance.
Senior Gamazo is a Castilian protec-
zionist, and an eminent financial au-
thority, not at all unlikely TO succeed
Sagasta in progress of time Ut the head
of the cabinet. He is a sanguine man
in politics, and is what a bull is on
the stock exchange. Republicans and
Carlists are moderated by him. He
does not underrate the ability of the
Republican leaders, but he says Senior
Pi is too old for the queen regent to be
afraid of him.
Senior Gamazo is hated by the para
sites and piece hunters at Madrid,
where they swarm. They will form a
strong combination against him. When
the head of the eXchequer cut down the
pensions of the queens grandmother
and other members of the Royal family.
but left those of the queen regent and
her children intact, she, finding this un-
favorably noticed, gave a part of her
income up.
"Senor Romero Giron is a brilliant
advocate. He is said to be proficient
in international law, and this prof.
cheney is one of the reasons why he
has been brought into the cabinet
Senior Leon Y. Castillo exercises an
influence over the French press, and
knows exactly on what conditions
France can help Spain. 1 fancy the
new deal was undertaken to give him I
the foreign portfolio without attracting /
too much attention.
MANILA EXPEDITION.
ut is stated that Admiral Camara. !
the commander of the reserve squadron |
at Cadiz. has again been summoned to |
Madrid to consult with the new gov /
The Paris newspapers, COM |
menting on this visit, ask whether the 4
relief expedition to Ma
Mia has been proposed or whether /
here is any hesitation as to the ex- /
of weakening the reserve +
squadron for the purpose Of convoy
ng it."
The Impartial says: Our men-of-
var are not only necessary to expel
Dewey from Manila, but to re-estab-
ish Spanish prestige with the navies,
which would be irretrievably damaged
should our rule only be restored by dip
omatic mediation"
The other papers affect to believe in
N impending understanding between
Russia and Japan, supported by France
md Russia, to stop the United States
It once in the Philippines.
The Epoca says: After the Cavite
disaster, the Washington government
to foreign dispomacy the
mission of ascertaining on what cOndi-
ions Spain would make peace, but was
informed that it would be unadvisable
o make any official or unofficial sound
ngs, Spain being unwilling to accept
nything short of the status quo ante
ellum, viz: The withdrawal of the
.neriCan naval forces from Cuba'"
