alton Of Canovas, and was regarded
as a continuance of the CanoVaS re-
gime. At the time of it's selection it
was considered temporary, as the queen
regent was then at San Sebastian, with
out that opportunity Of full conference
with leaders, including the leader of
the opposition, which takes place on
the formation of a new cabinet. For
this reason the designations are not
entirely unexpected, although they
were not considered imminent at this
time. A strong impression prevails in
diplomatic circles that Senor Sagasta,
the eminent Liberal leader, will be
called upon to form a cabinet.
The Conservatives have a majority
in the cortes at this time, SO that the
formation 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 heavy
Liberal majority, owing to the strong
feeling said to exist throughout the
country against the Conservative min
istry which has just laid down it's
commission. But whether it be Sa-
gaSta or another, the change is felt to
entail important considerations on the
Cuban policy. The present ministry
has been an aggressive one, support
ing Gen. Weyler and refusing to accept
his resignation, although a strong ele-
mcnt at Madrid has urged a more len
lent policy. The choice of Sagasta
would undoubtedly, 1t is said, lead to
the recall of Gen. Weyler and a ma
terial modification of the aggressive
policy in Cuba.
In the event Of the formation Of a
Liberal ministry, Minister Dupuy de
Lone would undoubtedly submit his
resignation as the Spanish representa-

LONDON, Sept. 30.-The correspond

is generally believed that the govern

at the sitting of the boule. In any case
several Of the ministers are unwilling
to remain in power. On the other
hand it is believed that Delyannis'
ministry will not be accepted by
King George and the nation at the
present moment. Hence, M. Ralli, the
premier hopes to retain power, in
which case the cabinet will have to be
almost entirely renewed. 1t is expect
ed that the chamber will accept the
peace treaty unanimously, public eX-
