A SPANISH ELECTION
ENDANGERS SUPREMACY OF THE
LIBERALS
CUBAN POLICY OF SAGASTA
Offers Conservatives a Fair Chance
Of Securing Control Of the New
Ministry
Press Special Wire

Associated Press Special Wire
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The state de-
partment received the following dispatch
from Minister Woodford at Madrid:
"Deoree dissolving Spanish cortes Feb
ruary 26th. New cortes will meet April
26th."
The dissolution of the cortes has been
expected, and it may be attended with I'M
portant results. The two parties, Liberal
and Conservative, will now appeal to the
country, and on the result will depend the
next ministry. The Sagasta ministry, now
in power, is Liberal. The policy being
pursued by General Blanco in Cuba is an
entire reversal of that under the Con-
servative regime of Canovas and his sue
cessor, and 1t Is felt that the continuance
Of this policy is no less at stake than the
ministry itself in the outcome of the pres
cnt elections.
Senior du Bose, the Spanish charge DAFT
faires, himself Liberal and a warm sup
porter OF the Sagasta ministry, SAYS there
1s no doubt the result Of the elections will
be return of Liberal majority in the
cortes, and Will continue the present au-
thorities in power. He says there is no
significance in the dissolution at this time.
In other quarters 1t Is felt that the Con-
servatives may take this opportunity to
regain the reigns of government by maxi
ing campaign against the Cuban policy
Of the Sagasta regime. 1t Is expected that
the Weylerites either will cast their in
fluence with the Conservatives, who sent
General Weyler to Havana, or else make
their appearance as a distinct political
organisation, representative of the army
and navy and the martial spirit in gen
eral. To considerable extent the con-
test will be between the war element and
the peace element. and as the Liberal pro
gram thus far has been most pacific in
character, 1t is anticipated that the Lib
erals will gain the peace vote.
Hlections will not only be hold in Spain,
but also in Cuba and Porto Rico. This.
however, should not be confounded with
ne local elections Of Cuba under the plan
of autonomy.
The new cortes will meet Immediately
efter the elections, probably May lit.

Laght Vote Throughout the Dominion at
Thursdays Plebiscite.

Quebec. Sept. so.--Reports from all
parts of the dominion indicate that the
vote for and against prohibition has been
larger than was expected. The weather
in all the provinces was most favorable.
The heaviest vote against prohibition
was cast in the province OF Quebec. The
French clergy counselled their people 20
vote against the proposition on the
ground that prohibitory laws would only
make law breakers. and that smuggling
and violation OF the law would b. great
ly increased. Another argument ad-
sanced against prohibition here is that
with the liquor traffic destroyed. there
would be no way OF raising the $40, 600. 900
which annually come 10 the dominion
from the trade. The indications are
that prohibition has been carried by
large majority, but probably not more
than one-half the registered vote OF the
dominion has been cast.
