Their quoted as declaring that the gov

of disorder and the armed revolt of
that year to the INDIGESTION and lack of
confidence in the administration then

VATICAN EXPECTS
MODERATE CABINET

Rome. Nov 29-Although the Vatican
believes that Senior Moret Y. Prendergast,
who will be charged with the formation
of a new cabinet at Madrid will be
Obliged to insert in his platform a clause
for the revision Of the concOrdat with
the Holy See, it being necessary TO form
a block for the Spanish liberals and some
republicans, it is of the opinion that most
of the members of the cabinet will be
more moderate than their predecessors.
The concordat doubtless will be discussed
by the contracting parties; indeed, nego-
tiaJions were already under way when
Moret Y Prendergast was last in power.

Anticipate a Ma jority.

The constitutional democrats. who an
ticipate a retention of their preponder-
ance in parliament, have already ont
lined their tactics and have determined
TO devote the first part of the session
exclusively to parliamentary work and
endeavor to carry through reform of
the system of local administration. the
enactment of universal suffrage and
other indispensable legislation before
licking horns with the government in
the great struggle for a responsible
ministry and full parliamentary gov
eminent. They wish to avoid provok-
ing a rupture with the government I'M
til the reforms which they appeal TO
the country are enacted, and are CD
posed to a food of fruitless interpelIa-
tons, to which much of the time and
energy of the first parliament were de-
voted.
