Situation.
Madrid, June 6.-The queen regent has

will remain in office, with personnel and
policy unchanged.
All the leading members of the Senate
and Chamber of Deputies who were con-
suited by her majesty have advised the
recall of Capt. Gen. Weyler from Cuba
At cabinet council held this afternoon
at his residence, Senior Canovas, the pre-
mier, announced that the queen regent
had renewed his powers and those of the
cabinet in terms most fiattering to him
and to all his colleagues.
1t is understood that the government
does not contemplate any immediate
change In the supreme command in Cuba
The surprise and displeasure of the va
rious sections of the opposition are not
easy to describe.
Washington, June 6.-spanish Minister
Dupuy de LONE to-day received a cable
gram announcing the result of the queens
decision in the matter of the Spanish pre-
mier and the cabinet ministers who re-
Gently rendered their designations. The
minister's dispatch is in line with the As
ISOLATED Press advices and says the queen
reached her decision after consulting with
the former premier and the marshals. In
cluded in the former were Senior Sagasta,
the present leader of the liberal party and
Martinez Campos, the captain general of
Cuba who gave way to Gen. Weyler.
Senior de LONE declined to discuss the
possibilities of the retention in office of
the present ministry in relation to the poll
icy to be pursued with regard to Cuba af-
fairs and the incumbency of Captain Cen
| eral Weyler
Secretary Sherman also received a long
| cable dispatch from United States Minis
| ter Taylor at Madrid, presumably in con-
necuon with the happenings of the day
| in that city, but as 1t was in cipher the
| secretary was unable to disclose its con-
| tents. The secretary declined to make any
statement in regard to the matter further
| than to suggest that it indicated the con-
| fldence of the queen in the ministry.
London, June Z, , a. m.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Times says: 1.-The solu-
ton of the crisis is a general surprise, as
much perhaps in ministerial ranks as in
the world at large. 1t was thought, not
without reason, that the councils Of the
| higher military authorities as represented
| by Marshals Campos, Blarco and Domin-
| guez, would have inclined the crown to-
ward a radical and distinct change of poll
| cy in the Cuban campaign.
| This idea was especially prevalent as
! Senor Canovas has himself admitted that
! both as regards reforms and the conduct
| Of the war by Capt. Gen. Weyler, his own
! hopes and aspirations have scarcely been
! fulfilled.
! The only explanation is that the first
| thought of the premier IS to vindcate his
| amour propre so far as the liberals are
| concerned, and when this Is established to
| find occasion at an early date to so modify
| the cabinet as to satisfy the liberals and
! to terminate the deadlock before the cortes
| reassembles, which will probably not be
| for several months. 1t can hardly be doubt
| ed that the notifications would include
| the replacing of Capt. Gen. Weyler by
| some other commander"
Havana, June 6-In political circles and
among the Spanish general public where
feeling of acute anxiety has existed as
to the outcome of the cabinet crisis in
Madrid, keen satisfaction IS expressed as
! the news that Senior CanOvas has received
| fresh proof of confidence from the crown.
