THE CORTES DISSOLVED.
DEGREES Dlsmissing the Spanish
Parliament-Cabine Holds
Meeting.

Madrid, Feb. GA decree has been
issued dissolving the Cortes.
The cabinet has considered the situa-
ton and no incident was reported as
altering the Cordially of the relations
between Spain and the United States"
though the ministers expressed ''regret
at the passion which has crept into pub
lie opinion during the present incident"
Deputy Mesa Mena an intimate friend
of Gen. Weyler, has received a message
from the former captain-general of Cuba
denying the report that Weyler took from
the war department at Havana papers
and plans connected with the fortifca-
tons. The deputy says it is doubly alb
surd to suppose that Gen. Weyler placed
mines and tOrpedoes in Havana bay. to
endanger navigation, without warning the
shipping. 1t is further said that all the
documents and plans relating to the cam
pdlgn IN Cuba are among the archives in
the war department at Havana. The I'M
parclal today warns Spain ito distrust the
pacific speeches of President Mckinley
and that Of Gen. Woodford at the recent
banquet here, adding, America is ac-
lively preparing for the war, which is
inevitable if the rebellion in Cuba is pro-
longed beyond May"
The Spanish government is actively
equipping its forces at the different ar
Senals ana IS organizing It's marine and
infantry.
Senior Moret, the minister for the col
onies, declares that the fac smile of the
letter of Senior Gown, the secretary of
the interior, published by the impartial
on Tuesday last. is dissimilar to the au-
tograph of Senior Gown existing in the
ministry for the colonies.
Ell Nacional insists upon the authentici-
ty of the fac simile and offers to prove it
before the courts. This paper also defies
the government to prosecute it, and says
that, if proved, it will publish more as
founding revelations.''
The Impartial on Tuesday last pub
lished fac simile of a letter from Senior
Gown, the Cuban secretary of the inte-
rior, to a friend, in which Gown is al
legged to have said: How could you think
that Sagasta, a man inferior to Canovas
and Liberal only in name, has inspired
my attitude and not my ideas and senti-
ments as a Cuban. Mckinley, as well
as Cuba, will determine whether l am
Spaniard. Long live our country and lib
erty."

Paris, Feb. 28.-The Paris Temps says
of the Maine disaster: Not only do the
facts which have leaked out so far point
to submarine mine as the cause of the
disaster, but there is also this argument
in support of this being due to design that

sition of accident had been confirmed If
