that the government of Spain has no in
tention of allowing Rear Admiral

ish army have been ordered TO rejoin
the colors, and it is added that for
midable expedition is being organized
for dispatch to the Philippine islands.
A special dispatch from Madrid says:
Admiral Bermejo, minister of marine,
denies Cape Verde squadron returned
to Cadiz. Bermejo says the fleet is now
where it ought to be under orders.
MADRID, May 12.-In the chamber
Senior Sagasta replied to Senior Sal
meron's ATTACK ON the present regime,
retorting that the state of anarcy which
existed in Spain during the short lived
Republican regime under Salmeron
made Spain the laughing stock of the
world.
The premier defended the policy of
the government in "doing it's utmost to
avoid war while the Yankees were
playing foul game" He repeated his
appeal for union, adding that whoever
sowed discord was not a patriot He
concluded his speech by declaring that
the government would prosecute the
war outrance.
