SPANISH ELECTIONS.
The SaEasta Government wins On
by Big Minority The.
Voting in Cuba.

Madrid, March 2S.-The elections for
the popular branch of the cortes have
passed off, on the whole, quietly. The
indications are that the government
of Senior Sagasta will have an enormous
majority, estimated at 300 of the 43s
seats in the congress.
Havana, March 2S-Election day in
Havana was more quiet than many
election days in New York, Chicago and
other large American cities. The GOV
eminent took admira BILE precautions in
the nature of police guard, which
proved effective. There was a good
deal of apprehension among some of
> the Americans, owing to the distribu-
ton of a threatening circular, but it
was recognized that this emanated
from irresponsible quarters, and it's
threats were disregarded by all except
the very nervous. 1t is too soon to give
the result of the elections, but claims
Gre made that the government ticket,
including 20 autonomists and ten con-
servatives, has been elected. The vote
in the city was very light.

. Key West, Fla, March 28.-Gen. LII

rible loss of life and compelling Gen.
Lugue to retreat. The field was COW

FROM WASHINGTON.

Secretary Long has promoted Capt.
Sampson, of the battleship Iowa, to
succeed Admiral Sicard, who has been
granted sick leave, and ''Fighting Bob
Evans will command the Iowa.
An order was given Commander
Schley to take command of the flying
squadron at Hampton Roads and there
is growing belief that he will be or
dered to intercept the Spanish torpedo
flotilla before it reaches Puerto Rico.
1t is shown by the report of the
board of inquiry that the Maine was
destroyed by the explosion of a mine
under the port side of the battleship.
This caused two magazines to explode
and add to the destruction. The court
found no evidence to fix the RESPONSE
bility, but says the explosion was due
to no fault of those on board.
John Simpkins, congressman from
the Thirteenth district of Massachu-
