net, which was formed Jan. 25, 1907,
under the premiership of Antonio
Maura, resigned as result of the
bitter attacks made against the gov
eminent by the former premier, Moret
Prendergast, representing a powerful
opposition.
At conference with King Alfonso,
Premier Maura told the king that in
the face of Senior Moret's statement
that the opposition would refuse to
discuss even the most urgent meas
ures, he had no option but to resign.
He asked, however, the members of
the majority to support the new min.

Vatican Surprised.
Rome, Oct. 23.-The vatican did not
expect the fall of Premier Maura, be-
lieving that the energy he displayed in
re-establishing order at Barcelona and
other affected points would bring to
him sufficient strength to retain the
premiership and complete the work
which he had undertaken. The vati'
can, however, is most reserved with
regard to the change In the Spanish
government and says simply that the
making or unmaking of cabinets in
Spain is none of it's affair.
Hiding from Assassins.
London, Oct. 23.-King Alfonso has
abandoned his daily outings, and is
almost prisoner in the royal palace.
Notwithstanding statements to the
contrary and the apparent tranquility
that reign over Madrid and the prov.
inces to the careful observer it is but
a sham. No one acquainted with the
situation will deny that the anarchist
element is actively preparing to avenga
Prof. Ferrer's death. Threatening let.

and the official residence of the min.
listers. The latter are escorted by
large bodies of detectives.
