CONSERVATIVES
QUIT THEIR SEATS
Serious Situation In Spain
On Account of the
Action

Madrid. January Practically all
the conservative senators and. deputies
today resigned their seats, after such
action by Senior Maura. their leader,
who announced he purposed to retire
from public life. The designations are
attributed to vexation at the solution of
the cabinet crisis in favor of the lib
erals.
1t is believed that all the eonserva-
tive members of provincial and muni-
cipal councils throughout the country
also will resign. The Epoca, the con-
servative organ, declares the resigna-
tions were handed in because the men
were convinced it was impossible for
the conservative party either to col
laborate with the present government
or to assume power until the liberal
party radically modified its political
methods.
Premier Romanones today said he
greatly regretted Senior Maura's resig-
nation and would do his utmost to in
duce him to reconsider his decision.
In a letter printed in the Epoca ex-
planning his action. Senior Maura com :
plains that the crown prince did not
consult him before settling the recent
cabinet crisis and says the financial
disorder brought about by the disas-
trous management of the liberals and
the Indulgence of the government to-
ward the republicans, constitute a grave
danger for the monarchy. The letter
generally is having a deplorab1e effect,
amounting as it does to "a direct censure
of the crown whose action in the re-
cent crisis is considered constitutional.

that Turkey, desiring to give tangible

M. Daneff said it would be impossible
for Bulgaria to renounee her claim to

Turkey must declare explicitly that the
