.SPAIN'S CABINET
RESIGNS TO-DAY

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
MADRID, Oct. 21-After a determined
struggle against opposition not only
in Spain but in all of Europe, aroused
by Spanish conditions and the execu-
ton Of Ferrer, the cabinet, headed by
Premier Maura, resigned to-day on the
express demand of King Alfonso. The
Moroccan war, the anti-clerical situ-
alton and the worldwide protest fol-
lowing the execution Of Francisco Fer
rer, were the primary causes Of the
fall of the cabinet.
The resignation Of the cabinet throws
Spain into a condition bordering on
chaos. To-day King Alfonso and his
advisors are in close conference trying
to select a man. who, at the head Of
the new government will be able 10
gather the scattered remnants OF
Spanish authority together and save
Spain. A competent statesman, will
I ing to accept the difficulties Of the
situation. will be hard to find.
King Alfonso faces the crisis Of his
/ life. for upon his choice of a president
of the Council-the Spanish Prime
/ Minister-depends the fate of his
/ throne. A member Of the conserva-
( tive party, loyal 20 the interests OF the
crown. and accepting the royal pro-
church views in the anti-Catholic con-
troversy. would be the natural choice.
/ The continuation Of the Moroccan war
would also be forced by a Conserva-
tive. But no Conservative could Sc.
cure the support Of the Liberaf>Cortee
the Socialist element of which has
been opposing the Maura admini3ra-
tion amid scenes of tho widest Ills
order since tho Cortcs met a Week
ago.
Alfonso is most unwilling to frust
the nation and incidentally his throne
to a Liberal minister.
He is still more unwilling 10 take
any chance in the consummation Of
the Moroccan war.
With this situation confronting him,
it is considered extremely likely that
when the new cabinet is formed he Will
be forced to reinstate Maura and let
him pursue his policy to the end. Mean
time the fate Of Spain hangs in the
balance.

INCREASES RATE

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
LONDON, oct 21.-The Bank Of Eng
land announced to-day that the discount
rate has bee increased from four to five
per cent. This is the third increase since
October with the result that the rate
charged at that date has been doubled in
exactly a single fortnight. Tho banks Of
Germany and Belgium have also increas-
ed their rates and 1t is intimated that
there is a distinct understanding among
the foreign bankers whereby the rate
shall be kept up in order to check the
wave Of speculation which is sweeping
all over the world.
Demands for money for speculative pur-
poses alarmed the bankers and it was de-
cided to raise the rates for money in or
der to control the situation and prevent
undue imitation Of values.

NEW YORK. oct. 2L-rhe announce
ment that the Bank Of England would in
crease its rate Of discount was forecasted
by the United Press yesterday. The fact,
however that the rate was increased n
full point, instead Of one half point, came
as a great surprise to the operators on
the street and It is generally admitted
that tho real reason Is the desire of the
British banking authorities to retain gold
I'm England. There has been feeling for
some time among the leading financial
institutions here that speculation was
running wild and that values were be-
ing unduly inflated. The general public
has not been in the market as strongly
as before the last financial panic. bat
speculation has been to a great extent
professional in character. Values, how
ever, have increased TO a phenomenal exc
tent until they are to-day considered to
be at top notch figures. There is a strong
bear element forming and st has been
plain for the last ten days that the lls'
Is to be subjected to real pressure.
