The German Cabinet will Offer TO
Give up Office Marks an Epoch in
German History.

BERLIN, August 21.-During the
afternoon a cabinet meeting was held
at the residence of Prince Hohenlohe,
the imperial chancellor, and the whole
cabinet agreed to resign.
The acceptance Of the ministers res
ignations is uncertain.
BERLIN, August 21.-The newspa-
pers OF this city recognize the fact that
the recognition by the Diet OF the canal
bill marks an epoch in the political his
tory of the country and point out that
the Conservatives for the first time
since the formation of the empire have
openly defied a mandate of their sover-
eign.
The question of the dissolution OF
the Diet as a result of the defeat OF the
canal bill is much talked about. but
such a step is not likely until the upper
house has approved the new civil code.
Opinion is much divided as to what
Emperor William may do in the matter
Many persons believing that the min
istry will resign and that their res
ignation will be accepted.

Jones arrived in the city this morning.
and at once began work on letter an
nouncing that he would be an indie
pendent candidate for Governor. This
letter he will probably hand TO the
press tomorrow. Concerning his cam
didacy, Mayor Jones says:
Il shall announce myself as candidate
tomorrow. | do not intend to wait for
the nomination by the Democratic con-
vention or any other political party.
| shall be strictly a non-partisan can
didate rather than an independent. and
so l want it understood that my candi-
dacy will be non partisan shall run
on a platform of principles, and as
have been advocating for several years,
and | want TO be the candidate for all
the people rather than for any political
party. 1t is for this reason that | have
declined advances from the Union Re-
form party. and / intend to follow out
my own lines 1t is not likely that
there will be any other candidates on
the ticket with me. A change in meth
DDS Of politics and governments is
needed. and that is what l am working
for, regardless OF what the conse-
quences may be to me personally"

PONCE, Island of Porto Rico. Au-
gust 21.-lt is now estimated that the
bodies of $500 victims of the recent
hurricane have been buried, that l,00l
persons were injured during the storm
and that 1000 people are still missing
There are opportunities here now for
investors. There is the greatest lack
of money for repairing damages, re-
planting and replenishing stocks The
Alcaldes appointed committees for the
distribution of relief stores, ETC.. but
the military authorities objected to it.
Ponce is healthy, though bodies con-
tinue to be found in the fields. The
authorities have decided to burn the
