Ordinance,

Madrid, Oct. 1. The Spanish Cabinet has resigned, following an attack by the youthful leader, Senor Jose Maria Gil Robles, leader of the Popular Action Party, Right Wing allies of the Republicans.

Senor Gil Robles set about the Government on the ineffectual agrarian policy it had promulgated. He declared it had not fulfilled its promises.

He had harsh words, too, for the Catalonian autonomists, declaring that the parts and parties of Spain must, of necessity, work out a common salvation, or else they would never attain to the greatness they desired among nations.

Senor Cil Robica has been recognised, during the session of

SHOCK TO-ROYALISTS.

It was confidently expected that Senor Gil Robles would support the plans of the Royalists, who are still one of the strongest

political factions in Spain. But the young Rightist leader,-known to be close. to Senor Angel Herrera, and consequently to the Vatican, surprised everyone by declaring himself a collaborator with the Republican regins. He had previously fought side by side with the Royalists at the Novem- ber elections.
