Became Overwhelming
-.Oiaz is Down

MeAIco City, Marcn Z4.-Ine Dial
cabinet resigned today. Following a
meeting of that body at O'Clock this
afternoon. every minister rendered his
resignation to General Diaz. AS vet
none of the designations have been
accepted. but on excellent authority
it Is said that two Of the ministers
and possibly three will be asked to re-
tain their places.
In diplomatic circles and among
high government officials, it is as
sumed that General Diaz will insist
on Senior imantour remaining in
charge OF the department of finance,
but it said semi-oficially. that the
initiative was taken not by them but
by the president. who is believed here,
proposed 10 surround himself with
younger men in the hope that such
element will unite all element of the
nation.
1t is probable that the acceptance
OF the designations viii be coincident
of the announcement OF the names Of
the new ministers. This announcement
may not be made for some days
Who viii compose the new cabinet
is not politically known. but it may
be said that they win be men who
have not taken q leading part in the
government Affairs. Neither will il
include any who have been. identified
with the revolt instituted BY Madero.
Included IN the resignation was
that of Raymon Corral as minister of
gobernacion. a department correspon-
ding TO department of interior but not
as vice president. It is reported that
the vice president viii sail on April
L for Europe.
The announcement Of the cabinet
changes has revived the rumor that I
General has recalled General Raves +

eption Of Enrique Creel. minister of
oreign affairs. all have been members
or many years and this alone has
zen one OF the grievances of the reh-
'iufionists. who have insisted that
he chief should surround himself with
representatives of the generation. and
nen more closely in touch with the
general feelings Of the pople.
Without exception the men who
ave resigned have contributed valu-
bile service to their country and to
heir president. but the popular feel
ng against them has been growing
teadily since long before the begin
ng of the revolution.
The three men against whom the
masses have cried, odd age are
.eandro Fernandez, Justine Fernandez,
nd General Cosio. In former years
he men have accomplished much in
heir respective offices. but it is an
pen secret that for the last three
IT four years their duties have been
ightened by subordinates.
The news that the cabinet had res
Zned spread rapidly through the city.
