SPANISH CABINET RESIGNS.
Execution of Ferrer Brought on the
Climax.

Madrid.-The Spanish cabinet,
headed by Premier Maura, resigned
Thursday afternoon. The cabinet
was formed January rs, 1907.
Preceding the formation of this
cabinet there had been five Liberal
ministers in eighteen months. The
religious issues had been the rock on
which these ministries were wrecked
and the accession to power of Senior
Maura, who had before held the pre-
miership, was regarded as a sweep
ing victory for the clericals and one
likely to arouse a revolutionary spirit.
This proved to be the case, the
opposition finally uniting against the
government, conduct and further
anee of the war in Morocco.
The stern measures taken to put
down the recent anti-war demonstra
lions in Spain tended to infiame the
opposition and the execution OF Fer
rer followed by popular demonstra
tons of disapproval brought matters
to a crisis.

PRINCE ITO AssAssINATED
News Reaches Toxic OF Murder Of
Famous Japanese Statesman
by Korean.

Tokio-News has been received
here that Prince Ito, the famous
Japanese statesman, has been assas
mated by Korean at Hardin.
The fateful news was received at
Toxic Monday afternoon. The dis
patch contained only the brief an
nouncement that Prince Ito had been
assassinated. 1t has caused great
grief and CONSERVATION.
Prince Hirobumi Ito was perhaps
the greatest statesman of new Japan.
The achievement with which his name
has been chiefly associated in the
minds of occidentals was the framing
Of the imperial constitution. by virtue
OF which Japan took ner place for the
first time in the ranks of modern
civilized states.
AS the emperor's trusted adviser
and the medium through which the
state was placed on a constitutional
basis, he must be regarded as one Of
the positive factors which have
helped to win for Japan her present
standing among the nations. Prince
ito was GA years of age.

RASMUSSEN BELIEVES IN COOK
Danish-Eskimo Explorer Has Seen
Enough Evidence Of Americans
Success to Believe in Him.

Toledo, Ohio-That the statement
of Knud Rasmussen is a valuable aid
to the establishment of proof of lis
discovery of the North pole was DIR.
Frederick A. Cooks comment here on
Thursday.
Rasmussen's statement, which has
just been made public, was that DR..
Cooks claim is fully borne out by
the information which the Danish ex-
plorer secured among the Eskimos.
Rasmussen has seen and talked with
Eskimos who were with DIR. Cook on
his North pole journey, and declares
that he is convinced that DIR. Cook
succeeded in reaching the North pole.
That he regards the explorer as one
of the most daring explorers OF all
the ages, and that there can be no
question as to the truthfulness of his
report of his journey to the frozen
| north.
| DR.. Cook read the statement when
he stopped in Toledo between trains
on his way from Ann Arbor to Can
ton.
He said Rasmussen's statement Is
valuable, because he is half Eskimo
himself and speaks Eskimo and un
derstands the people.

had no occasion to defend me-" sale

IN FIERCE FIGHT.
Victory of Little Band Will Have the
Effect of Bringing Additional
Reinforcements to Their
Standard.

Bluefields, Nicaragua.-The tug

ton brings news of the first important
battle of the revolution.
General Chamorro's forces fought an
engagement on Friday with 1000 OF
President Zelaya's troops at point
below Boca San Carlos on the San
Juan river.
The revolutionists won a decisive
victory, 100 of the government troops
being killed and 300 wounded. Cen
eral Chamorros losses were slight.
The insurgents captured two Krupp
siege guns and 400 rifles.
The defeat doubtless will have a
deterrent effect on recruiting for the
government service at Managua, and
is likely also to bring addltlonal # n
forcements to the standard of the in
surgents.
The steamer Yulu. belonging to the
Emery company, also has reached
here with the details of the capture o.
the revolutionists at Cape GracioS
Adios. This port was easily taken
not more than five or six men being
killed and a small number wounded
