TrY.
Liverpool, May 10.-The P0Sts London
CORRESPONDENT says When alr. Cross
boosted on Monday Of the entire unity OF the
Cabinet ne was indulging in flight Of ina
gination. The truth is, nominal unity was
only restored Saturday, and this result was
obtained after an angry discussion in the
Cabinet and by the threatened resignation
of four OF its members. Earl l}eaconstield
was in favor OF violent and sensational
policy" -g--.- -.
The four members to whom the country
owe the final decision Of the Government
in favor Of neutrality are Lord Salisbury.
Sir,Stafford Northcote, Lord Carnaraon, and
Mr.. Cross They declared they would not
support warlike policy, and as their re-
tirement would break up the Government
the Prime Minister and his warlike col
leagues were compelled to submit. Thus q
sort of unity has been patched up for the
present, and the Government meantime is
committed to policy OF neutrality. 1t
should not, however, be forgotten that this
policy is provisional, and that the whole
Cabinet recognize that intervention may
become necessary. ~. f.. -, 81 49,.
