BLANCO's CABINET DIVIDED.
Trouble Among the New Autonomous
Council of Ministers.

OOunc1l mlnlSleFS.
HAVANA, via Key West, Fla, Feb. s.
A crisis is reported to have occurred in the
Council of Secretaries, and it is said that
Senior Gown, secretary of the Interior
awaits the return of Captain General Blan-
co to present his resignation. This is as
serted to be due to the refusal Of Senior
Moret, Spanish minister for the colonies,
to repeal the law relative to the removal of
judges and magistrates.
1t is the common belief that General
Blancos march into eastern Cuba has
proved a total failure, as have also Cen
eral Pandos plans, military operations in
the East being suspended during the dry
season, the only time available for fight
ing thu insurgents
Senior De LONE. the Spanish minister at
Washington, has consulted the Colonial
Council of Secretaries as to whether lie
should continue to pay to General Julio
Sanguilly the allowance which the latter
received before his recent trip to Havana,
and the secretaries have replied that the
allowance should be discontinued.
Dispatches received from Madrid late to-
say that the Sagasta Cabinet has become
dlsgusted with the autonomist Cuban Min
lstry for not following a military policy and
not attempting to attract the insurgents,
but simply attending to their own interests,
ignoring entirely the insurgents in the field.
1t is desired that Seniors Giberga, Bruzon,
Amblard, Gown and Font should form
Radical party intrusted with the task of
arranging terms with the insurgents, the
government offering to disarm the volun-
teers and form u militia with the Cubans,
and also offering to pay One-half of Cuba S
debt, amounting actually to $500 600 900, of
which amount $500 100000 was incurred dur
ing the last war, $24O 600, 900 during the pres
ent insurrection and the remaining $50, 600 900
of which is actual Indebtedness of the gov
eminent
Advices from Madrid confirm the reports
that Senior Congosto's removal from the
office of secretary of the government has
been asked for.
Great public anxiety exists, but is pre-
vented by the censor from being shown in
the newspapers. This anxiety is due to the
evoutions of the American fleet and the
presence of war vessels at Lisbon and in
the vicinity of the Azores, in the route Of
Spanish steamers to Cuba; while other war
ships will leave for ST. Thomas near Porto
Rico MatanZas and other Cuban ports
These movements are taken as clearly in
dicating to Spain that the American govern
ment is prepared for an emergency and is
eagerly watching the movements of the
Spanish fleet from strategic points.
