RESIGNATION IS ACCEPTED
Queen Regent Formally Relieves Oanovas ot
His 0fiJe.
CRISIS is PRONOUNCED MOST SERIOUS
Spanish Newspapers Expect Dimcui-
ties In organizing New Min
istry-Martinez Cnmpos
tc He Consulted.

MADRID. June 3.-At a council Of the
Cabinet this evening Senior Canovas del
Castillo, after explaining the various as
poets Of the situation at home and in the
colonies. concluded by declaring that, hav-
ing obtained the sanction of Parliament 70
bid for the financial needs of the next year,
he deemed that the time had arrived to
ask the crown either to ratify the powers
of the ministry or to confde the govern
ment to other hands. He said he had de-
cided upon this course because he could
not low to the impositions of the opposition
and because he felt that matters had
reached a stage where a slight reconstruc-
ton Of the Cabinet would fail to meet the
demands of the situation.
He added, however, that If the crown
still has confidence in him and in the con-
servative party he would not hesitate tc
remain in office and TO endeavor to cope
with the difficulties at home and in the
colonies.
The queen regent formally accepted the
resignation of the cabinet and consulted with
the president of the Chamber but as yet
she has not summoned any political leader.
Probably she will not do SO until she has
seen General Martinez Campos, who will ar
rive here tomorrow morning.
Senor Canovas is much disappointed at the
response to his advances and at the way
the resignation of the cabinet has been re-
ceived in Cuba. He has been very loath to
recall General Weyler. although aware that
Weyler's presence in the island and his sd
vere policy obstruct the relations of Spain
with the United States and with the ma
jority Of the Cubans.
Many of the Spanish newspapers pronounce
this the most serious national crisis since
the restoration Of the monarchy and cer-
tainly since the regency commenced.

Raises Cretrn Question.

LONDON, June s.-Sir Charles Dixie, lib
eral, raised the Cretan question in the
House of Commons by questioning the gov
ernment today. Mr. Balfour, the govern
ment leader, in reply, said the recent Mug
sulman outbursts were the inevitable out
come of the state Of anarchy lately prevail
ing in the island of Crete. and considering
the provocaiions and attacks to which the
Mohammedans had been subjected, there was
reason for congratulation that things were
no worse. The House need not be pessimis-
tic as to Crete; a more difficult problem
than this is the settlement OF the basis of
peace between Turkey and Greece.

SILVER AND BIMETALLIsM.

The american: Senator Chandler

of the western hemisphere and unite
them in one great irresistible demand
for the money of the ages" Now to
bring such nations together, and to
make their demand felt and irresistible

United States to open her mints to free
silver coinage. II gold then went to a

using countries to the south OF US.
This for the reas N that there would
remain no premium on our currencs
and acting as a tariff On imports of the
United States into silver using Mexico,
Ecuadar and Bolivia. But there would
still remain a pr mium on British gold,
practically o taft against British goods,
though, of course, not SO much as now,
for silver would surely rise as CON-
pared with gold on the opening Of our
mints, and the premium on our cur
rency would be reduced 10 p%aper-using
Brazil, Argentine and Chill below tn. |
premium OF British gold, and hence it
would be cheaper for those people to
buy from us than britain, cheaper be-
cause they would not have to pay as
high a premium for remittances to thu
United States as to England. So
Britain would rapidly lose her trade I,
South America, IL merchants would
be on the high road to capture it, anc
Britain would have to hasten to help
us restore bimetallism in order to save
her commercial supremacy. Senate
Chandler may be ready for such, blu
