MADRID , March 29.-Ncw ( York World
Cablegram-Special Tclegram.-Th ) a mm-
iter of war , General Azcarraga , has prepared -
pared the budget of hi dspartment for the
next fiscal year , with zt view to Increasing
the regular army in Spain from SOO0 to
100,000 to enable him to keel ) fO.0O0 troops
ready to embark for Cuba next autumn.
The mnlnist r of colonies , Senor Castol-
lanoc. still hopes to prevail upon the anton- .
omist haders in Cuba to accept seats in the
coming Cortes. But all advices from that
. - colony show extreme reluctance among the
autonomists to take Dart in the elections.
They declare that elections In time present
state of affairs on the island must be a
farce. Canovas hac publiciy asserted that
ma Cuban autononmists are In a peculiar
position. Theme who are of most consequence ,
both politically and sbclally , are mon of
reputatmon in tlmo Cortea and at the bar , but
cat no longer count on the. votes of the pee-
I pie who formerly elected them , because , jt
must be confessed , the greater number of
people are in the Insurgent ranks. The
autononilst leaderi- . rather than consent to
be elected to the Cortes by the other Cuban
parties , prefer to wIlidraw from the political
field , as their prestige would be Impaired by
eleetloil under such condlticns.
Premier Canovas has also declared that the
Cuban reformist party received its finishing
blow when iia chief , Count Mortera , ( liel.
Ito thinks , its radical mimombars will join time
autonomirts and the remnaipder re-enter the
' : union constitutional or iencttonary party ,
I ' which virtuaiiy now represent.s almost all
tim really loyal and Spansh elememits of the
Cuban popuIaiCn.
Much importance Is attached by politicians
? and military men anti by the press to tIfse'
declarations of time prme : mninister. Several
liberal and republican journals criticize them ,
lamenting that such a statement should be
made when it is an open secret that the
union constitutional party dne not represent
20 of the inhabitants of Cuba.
