On 15 September, Ruiz Zorrilla's reform program passed only the Criminal Procedure Law.{{Sfn|Bahamonde|1996|p=86}} The [[abolition of slavery in Spain]] in Puerto Rico—immediate abolition, provincial regime, and split civil-military authority—split the cabinet. Overseas Minister Gasset y Artime and Finance Minister Ruiz Gómez resigned, replaced by Tomás María Mosquera, who presented himself on 24 December, backed by Republicans and the [[Sociedad Abolicionista Española]]. Cuba's abolition was deferred due to pressure from the Centro Hispano Ultramarino. Conservatives feared destabilising Puerto Rico and encouraging Cuban rebels, while Radicals saw it as a peace gesture. Opposition from the National League, including Serrano and Cánovas, sought a conservative government to halt reforms without toppling the regime.{{Sfn|Vilches|2001|pp=278-282; 318-321}}{{Sfn|Bahamonde|1996|p=86}}{{Sfn|Fontana|2007|p=371}} |
