A Republicans Views.

To the Editor of The Times:
In view of the derehctiOn OF the present
administration in falling to fully advise
the Senate, or at least its Committee on
Foreign Affairs, of the deplorable condition
of American citizens resident in Cuba, q
negligence far more culpable than even
that oeits ignoble predecessor, is it not
about time for the American people, ire
spective OF party affiliation, to demand
an immediate change OF policy, or else
institute impeachment proceedings?
The interests and protection of Anleri-
can citizens in Cuba, or anywhere else, are
far more important than either Cuban in
dependence or the recognition OF Cuban
belligerency, and any Administration
failing TO promptly and efficiently watch
and duly report any infringement of the
rights of our citizens in foreign lands Is
plainly amenabIe to constitutional cor
rection.
1t seems row to be the opinion of some
in authority that they are vested with
absolute control, according 10 their Pri-
vate opinions, irrespective Of the laws
requirements, so that no accounting Is ia
order. Such assumptions, however, are
plainly in violation of the Constitution,
and the representatives CT the people, II

Athens. April %. p. M.-The King
summoned NJ. Delaynnis. the premier,
this morning, and called upon him to
tender his resignation. His majesty
subsequently entrusted the opposition
leaders with the task of forming a new
cabinet.
The following is the official list of the

well as NJ. Sotiropouio, having declined
portfolios, the new ministry will take on
Il composite character and rely for its
support upon coalition of the followers
of NJ. Ralh and Tricoupists.
NJ 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 sec
ond his efforts | refused To tender my
resignation, not because of my love of
power but in order that such a step
might not be misinterpreted. l urged
the King to use the privilege of the
crown, declaring that | was ready To
sign the royal decree, provided the latter
cast no blame upon us. l added that
there was no reason to fear that such
measure would be declared by Europe
as censure upon the governments
policy. Judgment would be formed as to
that after the new cabinet had been
tried.
NJ Delyannis added: 81 cannot divulEe
the policy which | considered necessary.
! can only say with that the country
would have emerged from its trial with
out loss of territory ana would nave OBJ
tanned a rectification of the northern
frontier by abandoning Crete according
to the demands of the Powers. The lat
ter measure would have facilitated the
task. inasmuch as the principle of Otto
man integrity would not have been i'm
paired while the peace of Europe would
have been assured because of the recti-
lication of the frontier line adjudged in
the treaty of Berlin.

Mr. D. II. Buxton, Abbot Village, Me.
Dear Sir: For many years l have
been a great sufferer from rheumatism.
| had tried all kinds of medicine but
without finding any which gave me re-
lief. My joints were attended with a
great deal of soreness. My stomach
was badly affected; l had strong symp-
toms of sciatica. The rheumatic pain
combined with neuralgia made life a
burden. My muscles contracted and L
became alarmed about my condition.
Last spring l saw your medicine ad-
vertised and concluded to try it. After
taking three bottles all pain left me
and my joints and muscles began to
straighten. My stomach grew rapidly
better and as | continued taking the
medicine the neuralgia in my head en-
tirely left me. l am 6S years old and
pains for 40 years as / am at present.
| have taken 10 bottles and feel that it
has done wonders for me. / would
recommend it to all suffering from
rheumatism. Respectfully,
