CAUSED NO SURPRISE.
Washington Officials Apprsed That a
Change Was Coming.

retary Norton was informed by the As
sociatcd Press OF the resignation Of the
cabinet of President Diaz of Mexico. he
hurried To the White House 10 tell Presi- =
dent Taft The president was attending
musicale when he heard the news.
Senior De La Barra. the Mexican en-
bassador. also informed unofflcially. said
he expected kilograms from his govern =
ment concerning the designations.
The resignation was not unexpected in
Washington. The state department has
been receiving private adviCes that a
change was being contemplated by Presi-
dent DiaZ.
TIE Mexican ambassador has admitted
that such contingency existed in MeXi-
co City, but has declined to comment on
the situation as being an international
affair
!, is believed here. however. in the
circles of both the insurrectos and fed
eral sympathlzers. that the resignation
was formal courtesy TO those members
who are 10 retire permanently. but that
when the rev cabinet is decided upon
IL will contain some of its former mem
berS.
I, was explained here that the resig

the republic, probably would be accept
ed. for his falling health would prob
ably prevent him from accepting n port

Private advices here indicate that the
designations OF Senor Corral from the
post of secret tary Of the interior; Senior
Molina. as secretary OF fomeuto (promo-
ton of colonization and Industry. and
Senior Creel from the portfolio of minis
ter Of foreign relations Will be accepted
II has been believed that Senor Ii
mantour might he relieved OF the post oi
minister of finance and he made minis

probably is an open question with Presi
dent DiaZ. 1t is not considered prob
able that senor Creell will leave the cabl-
net as II was said on good authority
that he would be offered the position OF

Senor Molina.
Opposition i'm Yucatan to Scnor Molina
