The proeenco Of President Cleve-
land and Ill tho members Of hia
cabinet in Washington caused : 70
nswal Of tho talk, which has been
more OF less prevalent for month";
past, about the Inauguration Of I
vigorous foreign policy BY the ad-
ministration, but there has been
no official announcement made
which would indicate either the
truth or falsity Of tho talk. The
first cabinet meeting since May was
held this week. One Of the mem
bsrs stated that the trip to the Al
lanta exposition, upon which the
President and Mrs. Cleveland and
the entire cabinet and the ladies Of
their families will start next Mon
day, was discussed and plans COM
pleted. He did not say what else
was discussed, but it is known that
the Cuban situation and other for
eign complications took up great
deal more time at the meeting than
did the Atlanta trip.
President Cleveland is understood
not to be overpleased with the pro-
posed big public meeting in Wash
ington for the purpose of passing
resolutions of sympathy with the
Cuban reyolutionists; he thinks its
promoters have been too percipi-
tate. What he thinks has. however,
had no effect upon the signers of
the call for that meeting, who are
among the most prominent business
and professional men of the Ma
tional Capital, as they held a meet
ing tonight to select date for the
big demonstration. The labor or
CARNATIONS are arranging to take a
prominent part in the meeting, a
number of them having already
adopted resolutions of sympathy
for the Cubans and applied for seats
at the mass meeting. Two promi-
nent members of the Cuban revo-'
iutionary organization which is
maintained in New York have been
here all the week bolstering up the
local enthusiasm by talking about
revolutionary victories.
There is rumor that the Spanish
minister will ask President Cleve-
land to prevent this meeting, but
it is hardly probable that he will
make such a useless request.
According to Henry ]. Brennan, of
Indian Territory, who is
now in Washington, the Dawes
commission will not succeed in its
mission of trying to treat with the
Indians. Speaking of that matter
that gentleman said: The Indians
simply won't treat: The commits
sion is further away now from &C
complishing any practical results
than when it started out. 1t doesn't
matter what time may be given it,
there is no reason to believe that
any understanding will be reached.
Meanwhile the $50, 1000 white people
in Indian Territory are suffering
great hardship. None of the towns
have any municipal governments,
and the children are growing up in
ignorance from lack Of school ia
cilities. There is only one thing
TO be done. Congress must inter.
vene and allot the lands in fair
and equitable manner. so that the
smart Indians shall not cheat the
gnorant ones. Some method of
arbitration will have to be invoked
n regard to the town sites, but after
he land question is settled, the rest
will be easy sailing"
Next week Secretary Olney and
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
Ambassador, will begin on behalf
If their respective governments, the
negotiation of treaty for the set
:lement of the claims of the owners
If Canadian sealers captured pre-
'ious to the arbitration. A mem
Der of the Canadian government
will be present in an advisory ca
oacity. They hope to get the treaty
n shape by the time Congress meets.
