HAVE RESIGNED.

Madrid, May I'll p. MT is said
that Senior Moret, secretary for the COL
onies, and Senior Gullon, foreign min
lister, have resigned.
Admiral Bermejo, minister Of marine,
and Count Xiquena, minister of public
works, are also said to have resigned.
It turns out that Admiral Bermeio,
on learning of the Cavite disaster, told
Senior Sagasta that he must resign,
owing to the delicacy Of his position,
though he felt that he was not respon-
sible for the state of hhe defences OF
Manila.
Senior Moret pleaded WEAKNESS and
Count Xiquena illness.
According to. the latest forecast the
new ministry will consist of Senior Sa-
gasta as president; Senior c. Groissard,
minister of justice of the dissolving
cabinet, as minister of foreign affairs;
Senior Aunon as minister of marine;
Senior Romero Giron, as minister Of JUS
cite. and the Duke of Veragua. the des-
cendant of Columbus, as minister of
public works, agriculture and COM
merce.
The new cabinet will probably be
constituted Saturday.
The general opinion is that it will en-
dure until the budget is passed and col-
lapse at the first opportunity after
wards.

One italian Slabs Another With stiletto
at Monongah.
Special to the Register
FairmOnt, W. Va, May 12.-Mike Ce-
lano and Lewis Depomnei, two Monon-
gah Italians, were drinking in a speak
easy last Friday night and at late
hour went to Depomnei's home, where
they quarreled. Cclano stabbed De-
pompei three inches from the navel
with a stiletto and ripped his intens-
tines badly. There apparently was no
reason for the quarrel. Celano left
that night and his countrymen say he
is out of the bounds of the United
States, and that he is going to Cuba.
Depomnei fingered until this morning,
when he died. Coroner Fleming held
the inquect this afternoon and the Jury
reported that "Depompei met death at
the hands of Mike Celano" Celano
came to Monogah three months ago
from Cincinnati.

GEN ERAL MERRITT
Ordered to Proceed to Manila and
Establish a Military Government.
Gen. Otis to Accompany Him.

Washington, May 12.-The United
States will establish temporary gov
eminent over the Philippine Islands.
Orders have been issued for Major Gen.
eral Wesley Merritt, now commanding
the Department Of the East, at New
York, to proceed to Manila with the
least possible delay for the purpose Of
assuming the Office of military governor
of the Philippines. Similar orders to
proceed to the Philippines were sent to
Major General E. S. Otis, commanding
the Department of Colorado, at Den
yer. The orders of Gen. Otis direct him
to report to Gen. Merritt for duty under
his direction in the Philippine Islands.
Gen. Otis will be second in command
and will act as military governor of the
island in case of the absence or disabil-
ity of Gen. Merritt.
Orders were also issued for the or
ganiZation of an army corps of about
$4,000 men for immediate duty in the
Philippine Islands. This corps will be
made up of regular and volunteer or
CARNATIONS stationed on the Pacific
coast and in the far western States. Gen.
Merritt will sail from San Francisco as
soon as possible. The troops for the
expedition probably will depart before
Gen Merritt reaches the Golden Gate,
and the probability is that Gen. Otis
will command them at the Philippines
plete arrangements have been made for
the equipment, transportation and sub
sistence OF the troops and they will be
able to start for Manila shortly after
their arrival at San Francisco.

QUEER CHARTER BUSINESS.
Conducted by E. L. Squire, at Charles
ton-Stock Given Away as a Money
Making Scheme.

Special to the Register.
Charleston, w. Va, May 12.-The
charter industry which has been car
ried on here for the last six months by
E. L. Squire has had a back set. Squires
appears to have operated with a two
fold purpose in view, first, to rob the
State of $40 initial tax and $40 annual
tax on each foreign charter secured by
him, and, second, to practice a decep-
ton on suckers whenever he could find
them in the United States.
1t appears that large blocks of stock
in corporations capitalized at from one
to five million dollars have been offered
to people all over the country for moth
ing Only the fee of so cents for trans
ferring the stock on the books of the
company is asked OF course the al
legged stock is worthless, but fifty cents
secured on every ten shares of stock
given away in a five million dollar COM
pany amounts to a good deal.
E. L. Squires has been opei atng here
under the name of the Virginia Sure
ty Company. He has been sending
out printed circulars showing people
how to beat the State out of $40 in the
charter fee and $40 each year in char
ter tax, by furnishing the names of
residents in West Virginia who will
sign the application for the charter,
and who will lend their names for the
purpose Of organizing the alleged ccr-
poration. All Squires asks from his
customers is $40. He does all the
rest
The Attorney General is after him,
and he has been given to understand
that he can get no more charters for
foreign corporations under the pre-
tense that they are domestic corpora
tions
Squire has written letter to the
Attorney General declaring that he will
hereafter handle none but foreign
charters.
