THE CABINET MEETING-sTREE~ Rr-
MORs AT wAsHINGTC,N.
WASHINGTON, November 1s.-It was
generally believed that the cabinet ses-
sion to-day Would have additional in
f0rmauor, OF an official character, from
efthe- Minister Sickles or Consul Gen
er6l Hall, relative TO the recent outrages
st Santiago de Cuba, but there was
nothing to engage the attention of the
meeting further than has already been
made public. Key West is to be made |
q grand depot Of supplies for the north /
Atlantic fleet. Information received |
from Madrid shows that the Spanish |
government is in earnest in its pr0testa- /
tions of friendship for the United States, I
and expresses anxiety TO do every thing |
in its power, not only to preserve, but to /
strengthen, the relations now ex- 1
listing between the two countries. Apart /
from commercial relations, Spain de- |
sires the moral support of the United |
States in its efforts to permanently es-
tablish republican government in that /
country, and hence the report received |
here gains credit that orders have been |
issued by the Spanish admiralty to
the Spanish naval officers in the /
West Indies to observe the /
utmost caution in their move |
ments toward vessels carrying the |
United States flag, and to do no act that !
would have the effect of adding to the
present excitement in the United States |
growing out of the late unhappy
at Santiago de Cuba.

various departments at the navy-yard,

given for the employment of one thou
sand more.

vy-yard at one o'clock, accompanied by
Mr.. HanscOmb, chief of the bureau of
at Washington. The sec
retary came from Washington for the
express purpose of inspecting the pro-
gress OF the work of fitting out vessels
Of war. Hanscomb, in conversation,
said that within three weeks, we shall
have from fifteen TO eighteen vessels of
war ready for Cuban waters. Secretary
Robson stated that he was determined
to remove all distractions, and place the
navy on a secure footing, ready at all
for
