A PLAUSIBLE EXPLANATION.
Reason Given for the Action Taken
by the Queen Regent.

London, June 6.-The Madrid corre-
spondent OF the Times explains that the
surprising solution of the cabinet crisis
was due to the desire of Senor Canoyas TO

recent action Of the opposition. Later he
will find occasion TO SO modify the cabinet
as to satisfy the opposition and remove the
deadlock before the Cortes assemblies,
which win probably not be for some months

The modification will doubtless include
the appointment of a successor to Capt Gen.
