We learn that the long cabinet coun-

timatiOn from the Marquis of Salisbury
Of his desire. acting under medical ad-
vice to resign both the premiership and
the foreign secretaryship.
Our news is obtained from a source
usually trustworthy but the crisis may
take a few weeks to develop, the queen
being abroad. Lord SaIisbury's sue
cessors are almost certain to be the
Duke of Devonshire as premier and
Arthur J. Balfour as secretary of state

London, March 24.-The foreign Office
has issued a statement to the effect
that there is no truth whatever in the
statement made by the Daily Chronicle
today that the long cabinet council on
Monday was called to consider an init

They are Not Contributing Their
Share to Cuba.

New York. March 24-The steamer
Oriseabel which sailed for Havana to-
day, carried $50 tons of Cuban relief
supplies, consigned by the Central Gu
ban Relief committee to Consul General
Lee
Consul General Lee has just inform
ed this committee Stephen A. Barton,
president of the committee said today,
that he ascertains by careful investi-
cation that no less than 225, 900 recon
centrados are in absolute want and
helplessly destitute. These are scatter
ed through about 400 towns which can
be reached by the distributing methods
now being employed. We have been
sending what seemed to be immense
quantities of food; but We need. in or
der to relieve this distress effectively,
the equivalent of 800 tons of cOrnmeaI
and so tons of bacon and lard each
week Twice that quantity would be
much more satisfactory. In order to
guarantee this, Mr.. Schieren and myself
estimate that We need at least So 600 a
week Our receipts at the present time
are about $1,000, about half in money
and the other part in provisions. Up to
the present time New York city has
contributed far less than many cities
of one-sixth her population, and much
less in ratio than almost any city Of
100 900 inhabitants"

Signor Crispi after a sentence from the

Another resolution declaring that the

that the accusations should be referred
to the judicial authorities was also re-
jected by a vote of 1S4 against 106-
The report Of the committee was then
adopted
Signor Crispi is greatly incensed at King
Humbert and higher authorities for not
interfering to protect him.
1t is reported that he resigned his seat
in the chamber of deputies last night with
the intention of appealing to his constit-
uents to decide whether he is still worthy
to remain in parliament.
