Affects .'Mexican l'rohlcm Officials here have no complete in dication of the meaning of the cab inet crisis, but it is said it may have an important effect on the Mexican problem as n whole. latest advices were that four of the cabinet of eight had resigned and that Obrcgon had insisted in a tele gram to Carranza Unit they be re tained and that a fifth member, the minister of public instruction, be dis missed. A newspaper article by the latter, attacking some of his col leagues in tho cabinet, led to the break. Raphael Zubamn, minister of the interior; Kscudero Verdugo, min ister of justice; Luis Cabrera, minis ter of finance, and Jesus Uerta, min ister of foreign affairs, decided to stand together and submitted their resignations. It is now reported that in the re organization Carranza planned to re tain Cabrera. If he dismisses the other three, it is said, he faces a pos sible break with Obrcgon and other commanders who arc sympathetic with them. Differences Personal Officials hero aro concluded to know whother iiostions of policy arc involved, but nil information so far indicates personal differences.
