Spanish censor, say the general opinion
in Madrid is that a military Dictator
ship is coming in order TO contend
against the spreading disturbances aris-
ing from hunger, the defeat Of the Span
ish fleet at Manila and the political
plots of various descriptions. 1t is
added that Marshal Martinez de Cam
pos. the former captain general of Cuba,
probably will be the head of the dicta-
torship, and that he will be supported
by cabinet composed in the main of
military men, as the last chance of saw

are also indignant at the story sent out
to the effect that they signalled a
Spanish fleet coming and caused a

the story was that Adjutant Phillip of
the local fort received a dispatch say

the Scorpion was scouting for the
