London, Oct 21. A dispatch received
here today by the Exchange Telegraph
from Madrid says the Spanish cabinet
hss resigned, 'and that King Alfonso
has accepted their resignations.
The resignation of the cabinet came
about today on the express demand of
King Alfonso. Immediately following
the acceptance of their -resignations
Alfonso entered Into a -conference with
his advisers with the view of select
ing a new premier who would be - able
to assemble another cabinet.
Upon the choice to be made depends
the. future of the Spanish throne. The
appointment of a conservative would
be a signal for the liberals andrad-.
Icals to continue the antl-clerlcaL and
anti-military .demonstrations which
have nearly caused an open revolu
tion already.
If Is known that Alfonso does not
want to appoint a liberal to the pre
miership. . If he should , decide to do
so, however. rButcaer" , Weyler. who
has been extremely active in the liberal
ranks, will probably be the" man.
The country is - 1ft a state bordering
on chaos and the sudden resignations
of the' cabinet members, . notwithstand
ing they were expected, has Intensified
the situation, ..-. .... -
It ts openly acknowledged that Spain
now faces , a crisis as acuta as that
brought on by the -execution of Pro
fessor Francisco Ferrer at Barcelona.
