SPAIN'S CRISIS AT HAND

Madrid, May e.-10:30 a. m.-The news
pa pers and political circles this morning
openly discuss the Spanish cabinet crisis
and 1T is expected that some definite de-
cision will be arrived at during the cab
inet council which IS TO be held today.
Opinions are divided respecting the solu-
ton. but the friends of Senior Damazo
and others think the time has arrived for
the formation of strong military cabinet
This may turn out to be correct. On
the other hand the most able Of the Lib
eral and Conservative statesmen consider
such action to be premature.
The real reasons for the supposed desire
Of the present cabinet to resign are, It
Is understood, that Senior Moret, the min
lister for the colonies. in his dispatch
asked the cortes TO aid and sanction the
executives solution of the present prob
lem. But Senior Silvela's speech of yester-
day destroyed the hope of the Sagasta
ministry that the cortes might be con-
verted itno convention. 10 screen them
selves from responsibility. Besides, Senior
Silvela affirmed that the granting of au-
tonomy TO Cuba had virtually lost Cuba
to Spain.
sidered Senior Moret's solonial and foreign
policy to be fatal TO Spain.
This attitude of the leading authorities
of the chamber has so discouraged the
ministry, still srnarting under recent dis
asters and struggling with the appalling
provincial problems, that II IS considered
impossible to stave of the crisis. even
by the most earnest appeals to the leaders
of all parties for support.
4 p. m.-The upshot Of the cabinet coun-
Gil held today is understood to be that
there will be no change in the ministry
for the present and that the cabinet had
resolved to "energetically push the cam
paign. especially in the Philippine is
lands
Premier Sagasta is now comforting with,
the queen regent, who Summoned him to
her presence.
In the cortes al 1.-The measures. pending
the resolution, Will, it is said. be rapidly
