It is feared that Serrano's new government may eventually become in: cal to the repubiic, though care has been taken in the preparation of proclamations and official addresses, to preserve the word republic in their phraseology. Salmeron is not incladed in the ministry. Although he has been one of the lead- ing opponents of Castelar’s administration, Ser- rano is known rather as a reformer than « re~ publican.
