DISSOLUTION OF CoRTEs.
The New Election May Result in a
Change of Policy.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The State
Department received the following dis
patch from Minister Woodford at Mad,
rid:
Decree dissolving Spanish Cortes
February 2Gth New Cortes will meet
April 2Gth.'
The dissolution of the Cortes had
been expected. and it may be attended
with important results. The two par
ties Liberal and Conservative, will now
appeal to the country, and on the result
will depend the next Ministry. The Sa-
gasta Ministry now in power is Liber-
al The policy being pursued by Cen
eral Blanco in Cuba IS an entire reyer-
sal Of that under the Conservative reg
ime of CanoVas and his successor, and
it is felt that the continuance Of this
policy is no less at stake than the Min
istry itself in the outcome of the pres
ent elections.
Senior Duboise. the Spanish Charge
d Afaires, himself a Liberal and a
warm supporter of the Sagasta Minis
try, says there is no doubt the result
Of the election will be the return of a
Liberal majority in the Cortes, and will
continue the present authorities in
power He says there is no significance
in the dissolution at this time.
In other quarters it is felt that the
Conservatives may take this opportun-
ity tc regain the reins of the Govern
ment by making campaign against
the Cuban policy OF the Sagasta regime.
1t is expected that the Weylerites either

will gain the election not only TO be
held in Spain, but also in Cuba and
Puerto Rico This however. should
not be COMPOUNDED with the local cleo
tons Of Cuba under the plan of au-

The new Cortes will meet Immediately
after the election. probably May 1sr.
While 70 date has been fixed. it is
known in advance that the new body
must be completed by July lst. This
will give brief time for completing the

prescribed by Spanish law With a
Liberal majority. however. this can be
readily accomplished. The possibilities
Of delay lie in the fact that Conserv-
alive victory Will not only give that
parry control of the Cortes. but will
precipitate another Ministerial change,
with its consequent changes of policy.

somewhat each year. They began
with the study of civil government,

laws they glanced through the

study of literature, first aimlessly
and then particularly, taking up
American literature and sociology.

state, now known as the Black
Hills Federation of Woman's
Clubs. The last session of this
federation was held at Rapid City

four delegates were present, every
club in the Hills being repre-
sented.
Excellent papers on various SUBJ
jects of special interest to women
were read. The reading was in
terspersed with vocal and instru-
mental music of a high order and
all was heartily enjoyed. In the
evening a reception was held at
the Hotel Harvey and after an op-

refreshments were served in the
spacious dining room which had
been tastefully decorated for the
occasion with flowers of white and
