THE JAPANESE CABINET DIFFICULTIES.
A conference of the elder statesmen was held at the residence of Marquis 'Saiga on Saturday, and Marquises Saigo and Yamagata, Counts Inouye and Matsugata were present, says the Kobe Herald of the 27th ult. Marquis Yamagata and Count Maungata were received in auditace by His Majesty the Emperor. It is believed in some quirters that the Afarquis and the Count have together, decirted to under- take the formation of the new Cabinet, but it is also stated that they recommend Marquis Po to resume the premiership.
The Mainich supposes that no decision was arrived at by the conference of the elder states- men and the two statesmen who were received ir audience by His Majesty only laid the result of the meeting before him. The paper states that neither Marquia Yamagata nor Count Matsugata will undertake the formation of a new Cabinet and it is possible that the issue of affairs may be the resumption of the pro- miership by Marquis Ito.
Marquis Saionji, Premier al interim, who was in Diso, was suddenly recalled to Tokin and was received in audience by His Majesty yesterday, morning. It is understood that he will again proceed to Oiso, as Marquis te's views on various affairs are sought for by others among the elder statesmen.

PIRAOY AND MURDER NEAR SINGAPORE,
FIVE MEN URDERED ON
A JUNK..
For the first time in fifteen years a really bloodly set of wanton piracy and murder has occurred practically within the waters of Singa pore says the Straits Times of the 28th ült. The crime occurred on a Chinese junk that left this port for Siak on Wednesday last, the aand uit, with a general cargo and a crew of six Chinese. It appears that when off Karimon Istand the junk was becalmed, and anchored ip, full view of a Malay village or kampong, from which four Malays presently put off in u kotch and asking for some tobacco, they boarded the dougkang. Then, so far as can be learned the ruffians suddenly Brew their Frisses and attacked the unfortunate Chinamen, cutting them down right and left. They then ransacked the vessel and, after cutting her anchor rope, made off with all they could lay their hands on. Information of the horrible crime was first Brought to Singapore by the master of the s.s. Glanggi, who reported at the Master Attendant's office at o'clock on Sunday night that he had towed a tongkang from Sultan Shinal to Singapore harbour with only one nian in it out of a crew of six. The other five, the master alleged, had been killed and thrown overboard..
The police were informed and Inspector Branagan, of the Marine Police, boarded a Chinese longfeng No. 300tying af Beach Road, There he found a Hokien named Ne Chin Sing. the only survives out of the crew ofsix who sailed from Singapore for Siak on the 22nd inst. witir a general cargo. On inquiry, Insp. Branagan gathered the following horrible account of mur
It is understoor, says the fafon Daily Mail of the 26th ult, that His Britannic Majesty's Government has instructed the British Repre sentative in Tokyn to take steps for the pro tection of British interests in connexion with the failure of the Karibu hesurance Company of Osaka, and that Sir Claude MacDonald has placed the matter in the hands of the Crown Advocate, Mr. Litchfield, and his partner, fr, Sawada. The Japanese press refers with apder and piracy plause to the promptitude shown by the British Government in this' nyitter. "It appears from statements made by Mr. Vano, Chief of the Insurance Iurean in the Department of Agri- culture and Commerce, that the Autlimities.

QUEEN OF PORTUGAL RESOLVED TO BECOME A NUN.
· CHICAGO, April 14tht According to a special cablegram to the Chronicle from Lisbon:-
"The startling announcement is made in Amalie, wife of Don Carlos, King of Portugal, court circles here to-day that Queen Marie
has resolved to become a nun. This is a difec! result of the protracted quarrel between the royal couple over the King's attitude toward the religious orders of the country.
The agitation against the clergy in Spain spread in Portugal where trouble between the liberals and the clerical element had been brewing for a long time. Queen Amalie is a devout Catholic, while Don Carlos sides with the Liberals, and during the recent disturbances he openly espoused their cause against the church..
"Violent scenes between husband and wife in the Lisbon Palace followed, in which, it is said, the Queen threatened to leave Portugal. King, which have steeled queen, malie's hear. The King has proved unfaithful to his marriage vows, which recently led to a public scandal.
