Despite the fact that he was most exhausted and that his voice was barely audible, he remained breezy and jocular to the lust. Standing at the Palace door, he told the photographers:-"This is probably the last picture you, will take of me at the Royal Pa- Inée."

In reply to a question as to whether the Government would be of a civil or military character, he said: "It will be a Govern ment pure and simple. I can tell you nothing more."

Cause of Resignation.

Madrid, later.

The immediate cause of the resignation of General Primo do Rivera was the expulsion of four oflcera from Seville, followed by the resignation of the Captain General of Seville, the Infante Carlos (a cousin of the King), who stated that he did not wish to continue, to command the Garri- son with a revolt pending.

This obliged General de Rivera to take action, and explains his note asking the Army chiefs if they

General Berenguer, has always been garded as hostile to Primo de Rivera. He was imprisoned for conspiring against the Dictator with Generals Aguilera and Way- Jer.

General Berenguer states that he will not act ne a military chief, but as a civilian.'

A meeting is being held in the Palace to-morrow; when the appointments to the new Cabinet will probably be made.

Rioting in Capital.

There has been a certain amount of rioting in the capital, though apparently only students; were involved. It is notable, however, that people in the streets have been crying out:-"We won't have Berenguer and declaring that they do not want any more] Generals.

The police were forced to draw their swords on the crowd, and a number of arresta were made.

The disturbances, however, should not be taken as symptoms 'of serious trouble. Possibly they are connected with the recent unrest among the students.-

In order that my status as an In- dependent inquirer may be fully recognized, I should be glad if it could be understood from the first that the report which I am to pre- pare for the Council, is to be a re- plan or scheme which, while giving port not only for the information full consideration to the aspira- of the Council itself but also for tions of the Chinese people, will the information of the general ably adequate protection to the at the same time afford reason-public.
