GREECE's NEW CABINET.
RaIIi the Premier and Minister of
Marine.

Murlmes
Athens, April 29.-The king summoned
NJ Delyannis, the PREMIER this morning
and called upon him to tender his resigna-
tion. His majesty subsequently entrusted
the opposition lealers with the task of
forming a new cabinet.
Following is the official list of the new
cabinet ministers, as corrected this even
ing:
Premier and Minister of Marine-M.
Ralli.
Minister of Wax NJ. Tsamavos.
Minister of Finasce-M. Simopoulo.
Minister of Education-M. Carapanos.
Minister of the Interior-M. Leotaoki.
M. Delyannis made the following state
ment this afternoon: Yesterday King
George summoned me to the palace and
declared that exceptional circumstances
compelled him to replace the cabinet and
to form a new ministry, from the ranks
of the opposition. He begged me to second
his efforts. I refused to tender my resig-
nation, not because of my love of power,
but in order that such a step might not
be mlsnterpreted l urged the king to
use the privilege of the crown, declaring
that was ready to sign the royal decree,
providing the latter cast no blame upon
us. l added that there was no reason to
fear that such a measure would be con-
sidered by Europe as a censure upon the
governments policy. Judgment would be
formed as to that after the new cabinet
had been tried.
"I cannot divulge the policy which con-
sidered necessary. l can only say that
the country would have emerged from its
trial without loss of territory and could
have obtained a rectification of the north
ern frontier by abandoning Crete accord
ing to the demands of the powers. The
latter measure would have facilitated the
task, inasmuch as the principle of Ottoman
integrity would not have been impaired,
while the peace of Europe would have been
assured because of the rectifcation of the
frontier line adjudged in the treaty of Ber-
lin"
The evening session Of the legislative as
sembly was attended by only forty depu-
ties. In the absence of a quorum the
president again adjourned the chamber,
after which crowds paraded the streets,
shouting: Long live Admiral Kanaris."
There was no other incident of special
Importance.
During the negotiations for the recon-
struction of the ministry from the oppo-
sftion. NJ. Rall opposed the proposal to
make M. souropoulo premier, and said:
Setting aside all false modesty. I must
be recognized. am the premier desig-
mated by events"
The opposition leaders acquiesced In this
view, but NJ. Deligeorgis refused to join
the ministry unless the premier were
chosen outside >the regular constituted
parties in the boue. To this NJ. Rail- re-
piled that he could not and would not at
tempt to form a ministry without the sup
port Of the other opposition section in the
assembly, and he tried to induce M. Deli
georg!s to join.
The public tension Is much relieved by
the change Of ministers. and It is now be-
lieved that all serious danger of Internal
disorders is removed.
Owing to the absence Of NJ. Leotaok, the
new cabinet will not take the oath until
tomorrow.
NJ. Trlantafyllako and NJ. Eftaxlas are
mentioned for the ministry Of education
and the ministry OF justice respectively.
In the place OF NJ. Carapanos and IA.

bic that he will support the cabinet.
