Lord Anglesey, whose beautiful country

Of being the ha ndsomest peer in the gid

fact that he is also one Of the wealthest

Two Opposing Parties.

\ few days ago Gen. Gomez startled
the liberal leaders by addressing to them
a letter in which he stated that, so far
as he was officially concerned, he had
decided to consider the fusion as an &C
complished fact, and in view Of this he
would In the future make appointments
To his cabinet without any reference to
the particular faction Of the liberal party
to which the appointee might have be-
longed- The attitude of the President
was particularly Objectionable to the
Iayistas, because the important post OF
secretary OF state was recently made
vacant by the resignation Of Justo Garcia
Nelez, a prominent member Of the faction,
and 1t was feared that the President
would seize on the opportunity to fill it
with one of his own supporters. The In
cident has served to defer the accomplish
ment OF actual fusion, and should 1t result
i'll the breaking of Of existing negotia-
tons. 1t Is not improbable that the adj
rninistratfon will have two opposing par
ties, to deal with instead OF only one.
Another disquieting feature of the stu
alton Is the renewal Of agitation for the
formation OF a negro party. Steps pre-
fiminary to organization were taken at a
meeting of colored men In the province Of
Oriente. For some weeks past Havana
has been the mecca for local colored lead
ers from all sections of the island, who
have come to confer with Senator Morua
Delgado. president OF the senate, and
acknowledged leader Of his race in whose
honor a great demonstration was recent
~ held in Havana.

Negroes Want Offices.

The grievance of the negroes is that
they have not been accorded the number
of offices to which they feel that they
are entitled.
Morua is known to have presidential
aspirations, and as his term In the senate
will soon expire. it is more than likely
that he will demand a cabinet position,
either that of secretary Of state or sec
rotary of public works.
