meeting today lasted but two hours,
everybody being present but Secretary
Carlisle, who was in New York The
session is said to have been uneventful
and there is said to have been an entire
absence of friction between the mem
bers, although the principal subjects
under discussion relating to the vari-
Gus complications into which We have
become involved with certain foreign
countries, were we'll calculated to ex-
hibit diversified individual views. 1t
Is presumed that the attitude of Great
Britain toward Venezuela and Nicara-
ga was canvassed, but as far as can
De gathered, the secretary of state had
no new matter touching this to impart
and 1t was not believed to be necessary
to take any positive action on the mat
ter at this juncture in the proceedings.
In view of the more weighty mat
tiers now engaging the attention of the
administration IT is stated that for
elgn ministers in Washington are like
ly to be, at least for the present, left
undisturbed in their relations with our
government. No answer beyond a
purely perfunctory one acknowledging
the receipt Of our communication and
promising to make investigation have
peen returned by Spain to our demand
IN the Alliance affair and while under
ordinary conditions this might be re-
sented by our government, a DISPOSE
uon was shown by the cabinet to make
all due allowance for the fact that as
result of the oVerturning of the Span
ish cabinet, the subordinates dare not
do anything to compromise the incom-
ing cabinet.

Writing under date of San Jose Costa
Rfca, March 10, United States Minister

minister says that GarZa for some time
past has been residing at Costa Rica
but recently left Port Limon for San
Juan Del Norte, Nicaragua. At that
place he gathered around him some
thirty men chiefly Colombian exiles
and secured money and a quantity of
arms. A small sailing craft was char
tered and the party embarked on the
I'd instant, landing the following day
at Cahuita, Costa Rica thirty-five
miles south of Port Limon. Here Gar
"a took quarters with an American
named Reynolds and awaited the ex-
pected arrival of the Colombian eXiles
from the interior. In this, however;
he was disappointed, as this govern
ment Immediately stopped communica-
ton with Port Cohuila and dispatched
a body of soldiers by land to capture
the reVolutionists. GarZa received
warning OF the approach of troops, and
with sixty followers embarked IL two
small boats for BocaS Del Torro Col
ombla. Upon arrival at that point, the
party at once attacked the barracks,
put were defeated; Garza and eleven
followers, including DR.. Pereira Castro,
second in command to General Morei-

NEW BERING SEA TREATY.
Preliminaries are being arranged for
the framing of a new treaty between
the United States and Great Britain
concerning Bering sea seizures. The
negotiations will be carried on in Wash
ington. Sir Charles Tupper, minister
or marine and fisheries for Canada,
and other leading statesmen of the Do
mlnlon Will come here to cooperate
with Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
ambassador, concerning the terms of
the treaty. The meeting will probably
De held this fall. The projected treaty
Is rendered necessary by the inaction
of congress on Bering sea seizure claims
Its purposes will be to create commits
sion to hear all the evidence and to de-
termine the amount of indemnity to be
paid the seized sealers. After being
signed, the treaty will have to be sub
m1tted to the senate for ratification
and unless there is an extra session,
this cannot be accomplished before
next December. Another phase of the
seal question which may come up sim
ultaneously with the adjustment of
the claim. is the framing of a new
modus vivendi, or other means of pro-
tecting the seals in Bering sea.
