LosDos, June 6.--No progress he's
been made during the week in she al
legged disBension IN the British Cabinet.
The Government remains on the verge
Of disruption. Chamberlain, ambitious
10 beslonse an English Premier, and
Dixie, innately radical, still stubbornIy
refuse to assent to Gladstoas.s an
ilounced policy Of renewing the Irish
crimes act. IL IL true the " grand old
man" yesterday retreated from his orig
inal position 50 this question far
enough to admit that she Government
now fnean 70 renew the bill modified,
bat Dixie, in the Cabinet, insists that
there exists in IFeisIid today no reason
and prospect for any reason for its re-
newal IN any form. While neither
Chamberlain nor Dixie has personally
stated In public that be EilI resign from
the Cabinet IL the Premier persists In
his renewal policy, u 10 very
generally understood that both have
actually threatened 20 do 90, and Il il
hot believed the modified policy an
nounced by the Prime Minister has in
any wise altered the threat. The quar-
rel in the Cabina has. in fact, extended
10 other matters. Radical Ministers

an electoral campaign formulated for
the coming election by Wing members.

tlemen agree the principal planks in
the Liberal platform should DO frst,
