It proclaims the govern I * ment to lie a constitutional mmig archv, the executive resting in the Kinjr, the p#ower to make laws "in the (Vrtes with the Kinp.''

In higher edt oration Spain is not behindhand, is She has 10 large universities, eara rying an enrollment of 10,00(1 ' d students.

In the early par! of the cente ury the country was owned by landed proprietors wlio had acquired great tracts of land, but 1 i in recent years these tracts have >' been divided and have passed in '* j to t lie hands of small farmers and (> fruit growers. The grapo is the 's most important culture, but large ^ quantities of oranges, raisins, (" nuts, nnd olives are exported every year. Spain is rich in minr' erals, the annual value of her ? mineral exports being about JL'd,"M 640,000. She also manufactures M | cotton goods. She has nearly 70,' 000 looms. Her imports for 1896,s 1)7 amounted to J?21),:hi0,900. Iler I J" exports brought her in 0:14,890,100. The most primitive condi1 | tions prevail in many parts of p,i Spain and iii some parts life is e almost as it was when Columbus ( I traveled the country roads on O i . ? ? ... ^ I loot leading his little son by the hand.

' If in our war with Spain our 1 navy and army arc compelled to 01 cross the *ea and", invade the mother country j, they will lind l* that it is well defended from inn vasion by a cordon of forts and fortified towns drawn completely '' around her fronti?>r ~! Spain maintains a permanent S-j army. She also has what is known " as an active reserve and a sedon' tary reserve, each of which could he relied upon for support in r" time of war. Any Spaniard above a the aof I!) is liable to he callr ed upon to serve in the perma11 nent army for three years. From " tins part of the army the soldiers r passes to the active reserve for three years' service, and from thence to the sedentary reserve ' for ?ix years'service. IJv paying lmWO pesetas any one may escape \ service. The colonial army rov q.uires "every able-bodied subject to'serve eight years in the various rosorves. Thus most of the ( king's subjects are militiamen, arid it i* {estimated that in time ?f need Spain could easily tnoboj lize an elficieiit army of 1,08'),505 |(] men. The standing army mini( bers about'70,000 men, although >t, recently levies make* thig'huraber m nearer 100,000. Spain's navy is V I i '9JliJNE 4, 1898. , 'likewise capable. Most of ho vessels have a normal speed < 20 knots. Spain also has a tu morons lleet of torpedo boats an torpedo boat destroyers. Us fighting navy is manned by 1,00 ollieors, 0,000 marine-;, and 1 1,00 , sailors, besides about 1,000 im chanics of various kinds. Mitrrhrt/f <>/" n r Yoitn < 'on/>lr.
