Berenguer to be Spanish PM

After Rivera's departure, Spanish King Alfonso XIII demanded Cuban-born Aristocrat Dámaso Berenguer, 1st Count of Xauen, to create government. This was done very quickly after Rivera tended his resignation.

Berenguer is a General and has served as the Minister of War. In 1923, he faced court martial but after Rivera's
coup d'état, he was released from any criminality.
