will be no opposition from any other ma

HENDAYE France). near the Spanish
Frontier, May 7.-Advices which have Just
reached here from Madrid by mail. IN order
to escape the Spanish censor, say the gen.
eral opinion in Madrid is that a military
dictatorship is coming, in order to contend
against the spreading disturbances arising
from hunger, the defeat of the Spanish fleet
az Manila and the political plots of various
descriptions. 1t is added that Marshal
MartinoS de Campos, the former captain
general of Cuba, will probably be the head
of the dictatorship and that he will he sup
ported by cabinet composed in the main
OF military men, as the last chance of saw
ing the dynasty.
AS fo- General Weyler, who has been
locked upon aiming to become military
dictator, il is said his ambitions will bs
quieted by the offer of an important COM
mand in the Peninsula. At the same time
it is pointed out that Weyler's acceptance
of subordinate position is doubtful in
which case he may have to be dealt with
in some other manner.
A decree has been gazetted allowing the
free entry of cereals. etc, into Spain.
