NEW CABINET IN SPAIN HAS TASK
Will Have to Stop Rumblings ot Home and Elsewhere. WEYIER MAY 60 TO MOROCCO Belief That Maura Was Removed From Premiership In the Hope That the Aotlon Would Pour Oil on Troubled Waters Within the Kingdom and Lessen the Number of Ferrerite Demonstrations Throughout Europe. Moret Has Old Colleagues With Him, Madrid, Oct. 22. —Senor Moret, the Liberal leader, has achieved the result at which he aimed in attacking the Maura government, and he appears today Tat the head of a completed cabinet of moderate Liberals. In addition to the premiership, Senor Moret will take the post of minister of the interior, thus personally assuming the control of domestic order and the task of pacifying Barcelona and Gerona. i Perez Caballero returns to the ministry of foreign affairs, where he presided in Senor Moret’s cabinet in 1906. Two other members of Senor Moret’s former cabinet will enter the new ministry. Although Senor Maura says publicly that his retirement was forced by the Democrats and Liberals breaking relations with the government and refusing to discuss bills, it is stated by well informed persons that his resignation was partly arranged with the Liberals for the purpose of placating foreign opinion, stopping tne Ferrerite demonstrations abroad, and also with the idea of giving a new turn to the Riff campaign, which is arousing serious discontent in Spain. It will not be surprising if General Marina, the Spanish commander in Morocco, is soon replaced by deneral Weyler.
