CABINET CHANGE.
A New Spanish Ministry, With Sagasta
Again at the Head, Will Likely Be
Formed on Saturday

8 MS,4p. May lat turns out that
ADM slsarmejo on learning of the Ca
vite disaster, told Senior Sagasta that
he must resign owing to the delIcacy
of his position, though he felt that he
was not responsible for the state of
the 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;
Romero Giron as minister of justice,
and the duke of Veraguay, the descend
ent of Columbus, as minister of public
works, agriculture and commerce.
The new cabinet will probably be
constituted Saturday.
The general opinion is that it will
endure until the budget is passed and
collapse at the first opportunity after
ward.
The changes, however, are pacific in
tendency, senior Gullon having been
the most warlike element in the dis
solving cabinet.

The Lord & Bushnell Lumber Co.
was the first concern whose property
was set on fire from the elevator The
lumber yard of D. S. Tate & Co. was
next destroyed, and 40 freight cars on
their side tracks were consumed with
the contents of finished lumber. The
yard of Arthur Gousley & Co. caught
fire, but quick work on the part of the
firemen headed off the flames in this
direction. Francis Beidler & Co. IS
yards adjoining the Gourley property
caught next, and before the fire de-
partment steamers on the river could
reach the Beidler plant it was entirely
destroyed. The fire was a most ex-
citing one. Railroad employees with
bravery approaching reclllessness,
took switch engines in on the side
tracks leading between the blazing
lumber piles, and coupling to standing
freight cars, dragged them. blazing,
from the heart of the confagration.
The flaming trains. as soon as they
were outside of the lumber yards, were
deluged by fire engines stationed for
that purpose. The work was prose-
cuted by the railroad men until the
heat from the lumber piles caused
the rails to curl, pulling the spikes
from the ties and rendering the
tracks useless. The gravest appre-
tensions as the fire spread were
entertained for the great gas tanks of
the Peoples Gas Light and Coke Co.
The firemen realized that these were
about as dangerous as powder maya
zines, and that single spark might
cause an explosion, frightful in it's
consequences. A strong patrol of fire.

of other apparatus were detailed for

PARIS, Oct. 81.-The American peace
commissioners are drawing up a memo
randam on the subject of the Philippine

papers acquainted with and bearing
upon the Philippines.
Whether or not there be divergent
views among the American commits

the Spaniards. Whether differences Of
view may have existed or shall in fu-
ture exist the entire commission will
array itself firmly behind and in sup
port Of the preponderating opinion
therein. This statement may, at this
hour, be accepted as quelling any ru-
NOR that resignation might follow any
members variance of opinion from that
of his American colleagues.
