breaking, Confess Their Guilt.
Joseph w. Geyer and Lawrence Ball, two
young white men, recently indicted for
breaking into the dwelling of Myer s..
Cohen. the 14th of last February. today
withdrew their plea of not guilty and
pleaded guilty in Criminal Court No. /.
Chief Justice Bingham remanded them to
Jail until Monday to await sentence.
These are the parties who robbed sew
eral houses in the northeast section of
the city last February, ard the 26th OF
March they pleaded guilty of the charge
as to two of the houses being sentenced
by Chief Justice Bingham to sixty days in
jail. The lightness of the sentence which
occasional not a little surprise in police cir
cles, was due to the representations of
the defendants counsel that they were
intoxicated at the time, and that their
character had been good up to that time.
While serving their sentence the men
were indicted for robbing another of the
trial today Messrs. Campbell Darlington
and Chas. h Turner, counsel for the men,
stated that their clients being guilty they
would not put the government to the ex-
pense Of a trial. Chief Justice Bingham
at the suggestion of Assistant District At
torney Baker, deferred sentence until next
Monday, Mr.. Baker explaining that Dis
trict Attorney Davis desires to acquaint
lhc COuit Will CcTldlil ldSCS not yet de-
veloped in the case.
In postponing sentence the chief Jus
tice remarked that so far as the court was
informed by the representative of the dis
trict attorneys Office. when the men
pleaded guilty in the first case 1t knew
nothing as to other depredations by them.
Ball is the man who several days ago
complained to the Court in General Term
that Warden Leonard of the District JaiI
had unjustly Disseminated between him
and Sugar Trust Prisoner Elverton X.

sovereignty nothing would remain save
shred in the way of few preferential du-
ties and perhaps the power of appointing
sorne officials corresponding to the govern
or general of Canada, named by the British
crown. An incident to the selection Of
Liberal Cabinet, it is expected, would be
the restoration of Martinez Campos to
position where he would be in position TO
carry out the programme of the reformed
government in its Cuban policy
Among diplomatic officials the resignation
of the Spanish Cabinet excited the keenest
interest and was the chief topic throughout
the evening. The Spanish minister left at
4 O'Clock for Lenox, about hour before
the first word of the designations had been
received. He had felt up to the time OF
departure that there was no indication of
important developments at Madrid, and he
would undoubtedly have remained here had
he anticipated the impending crisis. All OFF,
cial advic s are being forwarded to Lencx.
The Ministry. it was explained by diplo-
matte officials entirely familiar with the
facts, is Conservative throughout 1t was
chosen after the assassination of Canovas,
and was regarded as continuance of the
Canovas regime. At the time of its seec-
ton it was considered temporary as the
Queen Regent was then at San Sebastian,
without that opportunity of full conference
with leaders, including the leader of the
opposition, which takes place on formation
of a new Cabinet. For this reason the res
ignations We're not entirely unexpected, al
though they were not considered imminent
at this time.
A strong impression prevails in diplomatic
circles that Senior Sagasta, the eminent Lib
eral leader, will be called to form Cabi-
net. The Conservatives have a majority in
the Cortes at this time, Sc that the forma-
ton of a Sagasta Cabinet would necessitate
a dissolution of the Cortes, and an appeal
to the country. There is said to be little
doubt that this would result in the return
Of a heavy Liberal majority. owing to the
strong feeling said to exist throughout the
country against the Conservative Ministry
which has just laid down its commission.
But whether it be Sagasta or another, the
change is felt to entail important considera-
tions on The Cuban policy. The present
Ministry has been an aggressive one, sup
porting General Weyler and refusing to ac-
cept his resignation, although a strong ele-
ment at Madrid has urged a more lenient
policy. The choice of Sagasta would un-
doubtedly, it is said, lead to the recall of
General Weyler, and material modification
of the aggressive policy in Cuba.
In the event of the formation of a Liberal
Ministry, Minister Depuy de LONE would
undoubtedly submit his resignation as the
Spanish representative at Washington, as is
usual on change of political control of
the Cabinet, and the minister is moreover,
a Conservative in DOlitics
