MAY MAKE UP A CABINET.

■pala’* Q»** Will Ask SUvela to tow Ministry. The queen regent of Spain, Marla Christina, Is sadly perplexed as to the selection of a new premier. She desires above everything to avoid, a renewal of the anti-clerical disturbances and demonstrations. For this reason she fears to call on Senor Sagasta, the liberal minister, to form a cabinet, as his anti-clerical ideas are well known. A cablegram from Madrid says the regent will not hear of anything being done that might displease the pope and play into the hands of the pretender, Don Carlos, by giving offense to the religious orders, especially the Jesuits. She has therefore determined to

ask Senor Silvela to form a ministry. Whatever government may assume power the queen regent will insist on the re-establishment of the old relations with the church and the religious orders. General Weyler will be continued in his command as well as all the generals recently appointed through his influence. t
