Rumours of Cabinet Changes Contradicted

From Rodney Gilbert

Peking, May 9.

All present reports of impending Cabinet changes are unreliable, since no decision has yet been reached by the Tuchuns, and since their original ideas of the advantages to be gained through any Cabinet changes were much modified after their arrival in Peking.

The militarists are now inclined to retain the old Cabinet intact because no financial benefits will be obtainable through the suggested changes, but at to-day's session of the conference a policy will be determined.

All reports in the Press regarding the personnel of the Caninet are reflexions of loca] political intrigues which the militarists are ignoring in reaching a decision.
