Serenely confident that sooner or later the re- gency will be compelled to bow before the rising tide of dissatisfaction among the rural population who constitute | three-fourths of Rumania, Maniu al- | ready has formulated a cabinet, a copy of which the Associated Press obtained today. Under this cabinet the principal port- Maniu, premier; Vaida Voevod, minister of for- eign aftairs; M. Popovitch, minister of | the Interior: M. Madgearu, minister of commerce and trade; M. Mihilachi, minister of agriculture, and M. Ionan, minister of justice. To prevent the peasant unrest from spreading, the government has stationed | troops at all vital centers throughout | the country and every large town of Transylvania is under strict military control, with soldiers guarding the pub- lic_buildings. Bucharest is outwardly calm, but be- neath the surface is much apprehension that if the regency rejects the peas- ants’ demands the country districts may become disaffected and attempt open resistance to the government. | Strict censorship is maintained. Al | telephone lines leading out of Ru-| mania are carefully supervised, and all forelgn newspapers containing Prince Carol's recent threatening gesture to return to Rumania have been confis- cated. Largely on account of a cold rain. fatigue and long distance to Bucharest, most of the peasant columns ;{rnm Alba Julia have disbanded However much Prince Carol may de- sire to become a member of the re- gency or to replace his son upon the | throne, there appears little or no sen- timent for him even among the peas- antry and the army, where it might be_looked for. It is generally felt that when Ionel Bratianu. Rumania’s late dictator, died Carol, figuratively speaking, died with him. because Maniu used the Carol question only as a lever to undermine the Bratianu regime. “We want neither Carol nor revolu- {tion,” sald M. Maniu to the Associated Press. “Neither are we monarchy. We are only the a against against | ent CAROL CARSON. feudalistic regime and the present gov- ernment. We want a government which shall truly represent the will of the people as in the United States.” Declaring that Maniu's per-emptory demand for the overthrow of the Bra- tianu ministry placed the regency in a most awkward position, Patriarch Christea’s secretary told the correspond- today that the patriarch would gladly resign as a member of the regency to escape the present dilgmma but that his sense of duty and patriot- ism held him to his post “The regency desires sincerely to give the people the government best suited to their needs and aspirations. but to intrust power to the inexperienced and untutored hand of the peasants would only throw the country into further confusion, hurting our prestige at home and abroad,” he said. “At this mo ment. when our dynastic situation is delicate, when Carol looms constantly on the horizon as a menace and when | the country is faced with almost in- superable economic and financial prob- lems, it would be a grave mistake for the regency to change hors the middle of the stream.” STRIFE IS REPORTED.

May 8 (#).—With a strict censorship existing in Rumania as to the political situation, all sorts of un- confirmed advices, some of them telling of fighting . there, have been received in Vienna from various Balkan capitals Dispatches received bv a Vienna newspaper state that Bucharest expe- rienced a sanguinary night Sunday. A battle was repgrted to have raged all night between the peasants and govern- ment troops. resulting in many casu ties, Rumanian government denials not withstanding. Somewhat similar advices come from Budapest. also without confirmation These say that there was a fight in which railwaymen, aided by gendarmes, beat off a party of peasants storming a Bucharest train. The struggle lasted i ., three hours and ended in a victory for the government. The advices said that the last wires less message received from 1a, which was abruptly interrupted, said that a troop of 20,000 peasants had been surrounded by gendarmes and made to halt, “but not until . ., .” Here the message was brokent and no further communications from Rumania were said to have been received in Bu- dapest. Belgrade. advices said that the Ru- manian government was making super- human efforts to stop the advance of the peasants, and to this end a bridge leading to ihe Royal Palace was blown up. The Belgrade report sald that the frontier and all means of communica- tion with Rumania were closed. It was known. however, Belgrade reports said, that the first peasant group reached Bucharest by train last night. These advices, also unconfirmed, reported that Queen Marie and the regency had abandoned the Bratianu government and are now identifying themselves with Maniu. DENIES CAROL SUPPORT. anfu Says Peasants Do Not Intend to Recall Former Crown Prince. SIBIU, Rumania, May 8 (#).—Before leaving for Bucharest, Julio Maniu, leader of the National Peasants' party, said that the peasants had no connec tion with former Crown Prince Carol and did not intend to recall him. He asserted that Carol's name was not mentioned once during the congress at Alba Julia While the peasants’ march to Bucha- rest did not have his sanction, M. Manju said he was powerless to pre- vent it in face of the bitter indignation of the peasants toward the present gov- ernment, which Maniu expected would fall at any minute. VISA QUALIFICATIONS.
