SPAIN SIMPLY. DRIFTING.
senor 'Moret Declares That the Pres
ent Cabinet Has No Definite

= = a . b Policy
LONDON, June. L!The Madrid CORE
spondent Of the Morning Post has had an.
interview with Senior Moret. formerly sec
retary of the colonies. In the course OF
which he said:
.'The government does not know where
It is going. Moreover. there Is not per-
son in Spain who can tell the outcome OF
the present situation, which Is far more
grave than is generally confessed. The
government has no fixed plan. It allows
matters to follow their own course, heed
less of the ultimate consequences.
1.-The ship Of state is drifting. Besides. II
is useless to conceal the fact that the
cabinet is no longer solid, despite its re-
construction. To-day the confusion Is COM
plete. This is concealed as well as pos
sfbIe, but II the truth Of the situation ever
becomes known, the most serious complt-
cations may result. The present ministers
lack energy won't say that they are
voiceless, because they talk too much; but
they never act. They are absolutely impo-
tent. and are simply trusting to chance to
get out Of their troubles.
"a campaign in favor Of peace has begun
in the press and In progressing among the
populace. I am convinced that II plebis-
cite were held peace would be unanimously
voted, even by the soldiers. The queen
regent has been unjustly attacked by Senior
CASTELAR,. who Is already posing as presi-
dent Of the republic: but much doubt his
ability to stir up q movement against the
regency .~-'-r'n ''7--' -"
THE regency was menaced; but for some
time past a change has been taking place
and the adversaries Of the queen have dis
covered the injustice of their attacks. 1t Is
dif,icult to say whether the regency will be
overturned. None can say what will hap
pen in a country without guidance. with
foreign war on its hands and daily fearing
fresh Internal complications. II the over
turning Of the regency does happen. it Will
be an immense misfortune to Spain. Par
Lament is divided as well as the ministry,
who know not whether to turn to the right
or left. The affairs Of Spain are In COM
plete disorder"
