Madrid, June "a cabinet council was
held today, the queen regent presiding.
The retiring premier, Senior Canovas del
Castillo, made long statement regard
ing Cuba, the Philippine Islands, the
internal situation and the relations be-
tween Spain and the United States,
which led to his resignation.
Her majesty declared herself satisfied
with the explanation Of Senior Canovas
and begged him TO continue the govern
nent until the crisis was solved.
Senior Canovas, after the council, said
that the queen had asked him 10 tele-
graph to Marshal Martinez de Campos,
asking him to come TO Madrid, and that
the latter had replied that he would ar
rive here tomorrow.
Senior Canovas added that solution of
the crisis viii be difficult and will de-
pend upon the conference between the
queen regent, General Campos and Sc
nor Sagasta, the Liberal leader. It is
said that the latter is prepared to ap-
ply extensive reforms TO Cuba through

General Weyler as captain general OF
Cuba
Madrid, June 3.-The resignation of
the cabinet and the general state of po-
sitical uneasiness absorb public atten-
ton.
The retiring premier, Senior Canovas
del Castillo. is quoted as saying that not
even the members of the cabinet knew
Of mis- intention to resign until his resig-
nation had been effected.
The published statement that the Span
ish government has received a note from
the government of the United States dis
approving of the rertention of General
Weyler, as captain general, is semi-offi-
cially denied.
LATER CABINET COUNCIL.
Madrid, June 3.-At a courcil 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,
having Obtained the sanction of parlia-
ment to bills for the financial needs Of
the next year, ne deemed that the tine
had arrived to ask the crown to either
radfy the powers OF the ministry or. to
confide the government to other hands.
He said he had decided upon this course
because he could not bow to the imposi-
tions Of the opposition and because he
fe.t that matters had reached a stage
where a slight reconstruction of the cab /
met would fail to meet the demands of
the situation. He added, however. that |
Il the crown still had confidence in him. |
and in the Conservative party, he would !
endeavor to cope with the difficulties al |
home and in the colonies.
The queen regent has formally accept |
ed the resignation Of the cabinet and |
consulted with tie president of the cham I
Der, but as yet she has not summoned /
any political leader.
Proba bly, she will not do SO until she
has seen General Martinez Campos, who
VIII arrive here tomorrow morning.
Senior Canovas is very much disap-
pointed at the responses which his adj
vances il the way Of reform and anan-
cial plans have met in Cuba He is also
very ioath to recall Captain General
Weyler. although aware that Weyler's
presence in the island and his severe pol
Icy obstruct the relations Of Spain with
the United States and with a majority
Of the Cubans.
Mary of the Spanish newspapers pro-
nounce this the most serious national cri-
sis since the restoration Of the monarchy
and certainly since the regency COM
menced.
SPANISH SECURITIES.
London, June Spanish securities
were nearly one point higher on the |
STOCK exchange today. The rise was bas- I
Ed upon the hope that the resignation I
Of the Canovas ministry means a speedy /
of the Cuban troubles.
