 Secretary Herbert next received visit from tho secretary of stato, and tho pair walked over to the state department and were cloSctcd in tho office of Secretary Ol- ncy. Here they were joined in the course of half an hour by Secretary Carlisle and Attorney General Harmon, who had been called by telephone into the conferenco.

Minister De Lome Silent.

If this view was taken of the matter by the cabinet meeting, i3 is likely that it will bc manifested through the issue of another presidential proclamation much moro sweeping in its terms than that al ready put forth, warning tho residents of this country against any infraction of the neutrality laws, and this in turn may be followed by instructions to tho judicial officers of the government that will sum- marily check any hostile movements against the Spaniaris in Cuba from this country.
 Minister dc Lome was seen, but refused absolutely to be interviewed as to the req sons for his presence here at this time.
 The impression is very strong that tho cabinet meeting was for tho purpose of discussing the neutrality feature of the Gu ban question, and it is believed that some public statement will bo made theroto in n fow days

who has been acting as secretary of state
 during the abscncr of Secretary Olncy, was
 called into the room to advise the cabinet
 us to some point under discussion.
 Whatever was tho subject or subjects
 considered cannot be learned, and appar-
 Cntly it was resolved to keep the proceed
 ingS secret, for each of the persons present
 as they emerged declined courtcously but
 positively to answer a single question
 touching their deliberations.
 All that could be gathered was to the
 effect that nothing had happened at Gray
 Gables tn give rise to any apprehension. still there was an air of gravity in the dCmCanur of tho cabinet officers AS they
 emerged from the conference that would
 indicate that some wCighty and important
 questions had been under discussion.
 What these may have been can only be
 Surmisod without any tangible evidence
 of probability.
 Ono theory is that tho Mora claim was
 before the cabinet in tho shape of somo proposition from the spanish government for its settlement that perhaps involved
 the element nf long time, and consequent ly justified some hesitation before it could be disposed of.
 Another idea hruachcd was that there was an ugly question as to the fultlllmCnt
 of our neutrality obligations toward Spain
 that had caused the sudden asscmblage of the cabinet officers.
 Perhaps 1t Concerns Neutrality. This had some color from tho fact that | tho particular officers gathered at the state | department wore just thoSo who would be | charged with the execution of tho ncu. | trality laws, The secretary of state would | be clothed with general supervision, tho attorney general would look after tho GIL | forccmcnt of tho law ashore, tho secretary | of the treasury, through the collectors of | customs and revenue cutters, would care | for tho ports and CoaStS and the secretary
 of the navy would maintain the patrol in | blue water
 In further confirmation uf this theory it
 was said that the spanish minister, ScnOr | Dupuy de Inlnr, had suddenly arrived in Washington from Massachusetts, hut Sec
 rotary Olncy would not admit that he had | seen him. There are those who believe | that it was thiS subject of neutrality which engaged the most serious attention l of the cabinet officers. It is known that they have been watching narrowly the | procrcdings of tho Cuban sympathizers | who have been operating in the United | States. and it is believed that the open and questionable operations at the New 1 York meeting lately, when a convention went through the forms of electing preSi
 dents for Cuba, have given rise to some doubt on the part of our government as to l whether this was a proceeding that did | not in itself constitute at least ill spirit an | infraction of that principle of the neutral l ity laws which forbid the use of tho United 1 States as baSo of operations against a | nation with which the United States is on | terms of peace.
 Minister De I.Ome silent.
