Lenox, about an hour before the first
word of the reslgnations had been re-
ceived. He had felt up TO the time Of
his departure that there was no indi-
cation Of important developments at Ma
drid and he would undoubtedly have re-
main here had he anticipated the i'm
pending crisis All official advices are
being forwarded direct to Lenox.
The ministry, 1t was explained by
diplomatic officials entirely familiar
with the facts. is Conservative through
out II was chosen after the assassina-
ton Of Canovas, and was regarded as a
continuance Of the CanovaS regime. At
the time of its selection it was consid-
cred temporary, as the queen regent
was then al San Sebastian, without that
opportunity of full conference with
leaders, including the leaders Of the op-
position, which takes place on the for
nation of a new cabinet. For this rea-
son the designations are not entirely
unexpected, although they were not con-
Sidered imminent at this time.
A strong impression prevails in diplo-
matte circles that Senior Sagasta, the
eminent Liberal leader, will be called to
form cabinet.
The Conservatives have a majority in
the cortes at this time, so that the for
nation of a Sagasta cabinet would ne
cessitate a dissolution Of the eortes, and
an appeal the country. There is eaid
to be little doubt that this would re-
suit in .he return OF heavy Liberal
majori;y, owing TO the strong feelings
said 10 exist throughout the country
against the Conservative ministry,
which has just laid down its commits
sion.
But whether It be Sagasta or another,
the change is felt to entail important
considera tons on the Cuban policy. The
present ministry has been an aggressive
one, supporting General Weyler and re-
fusing to accept his resignation, al
though a strong element at Madrid has
urged a more lenient policy. The choice
Of Sagasta would UNDOUBTEDLY, it is
said, lead to the recall Of General Wey-
Ter. and a material modification Of the
aggressive policy in Cuba.
In the event OF the formation Of a
Liberal ministry. Minister Dupuy De
LONE would undoubtedly submit his
resignation as the Spanish representa-
tive at Washington. as is usual on such
a political control OF me cabinet. and
the minister is, moreover, a Conserva-
tive in politics.
