Yesterdays CABINET MEETING
Foreign ATaIrs-Thurston Matter
Nicaragua-Venezue


Nicaragua-Eenezu
WASHINGTON, u. C.. March 22.-The
Cabinet meeting to-day was devoted
me silly to consideration Of foreign affairs.
Secretary Gresham went over to the
Willie House armed with sundry official
documents relating, ii is understood, to
The Nicaraguan and Venezuelan situa-
tions and the Allianca incident. The
Thurston matter. IL is understood, Will
remain in allegiance until March 9th,
when a steamer due from Honolulu will
probably bring official advices bearing on
the subject OF Mr.. Thurston's recall.
1t appears 10 be the belief in State
Department circles that Spain Is not dis
posed TO make any decided stand against
the demands of this government in the
Aiianca matter. The situation in Cuba
and the Cabinet crisis at Madrid are
pointed TO as reasons why the Spanish
Government Is anxious at this time 10 re-
main on good terms with the United
States. and IL is predicted that Spain
wiz waive part of what she believes TO
be her rights in the question at issue and
meet this government half way. On the
other hand II is said that the Washing
ton administration IS willing TO pass by,
for the present at least, any alleged ut
terances of Senor Muruaga. the Spanish
Minister. that may be construed as un-
complimentary to Secretary Gresham.
The meeting is said TO have been de-
void of any definite results with refer
ence TO the Nicaragua and Venezuela
matters, The impression Is given out
that there is little danger that Great
Britain will resort TO harsh measures
towards Nicaragua The term ultima
tum" IS regarded as being altogether too
hieh-flown a word to be applied to the
British request for reparation for alleged
wrongful expulsion Of a consular officer.
The alleged attitude Of Great Britain
and Germany towards Venezuela is sub
iect upon which further information, Is
desired before action is taken. In the
event of Germanys sending warship
TO collect money due German subjects
by Venezuela, there can be no doubt the
Berlln Government will be informed, as
was done In the recent case OF France
and San Domingo. that the United states
views with disfevor any attempt to col
loo, ,,rjyaf ia loans by force of arms.

ELEVEN MORE INDICTMENTS.
II Is Said Inspector Williams IL
on the List This Time.

on the List This Time.
NEW YORK. March 2.-The extraor-
dinary grand jury of the oyer and Ter
miner Court came into court at 1:l5 T. Nj.
and handed to Judge Ingraham bunch
of indictments, numbering. it is said.
eleven. Nothing as to the nature of the
7 indictments can be ascertaned az this
iuncturc There Is a rumor that one OF
the indictments is against Inspector
Williams. but this is based upon the
fact that witnesses presumed to have
evidence against him have been before
the grand jury during the past week.
II Is said the same method OF pro-
cedure adopted In the former indictments
will again be permitted with the present
ones-that Is. no arrests will be made Of
those indicted, but they will sim
ply be informed OF the indictments
against them and they Will then
surrender themselves in court. This will
probably be done Monday morning. 10
which time the Court of oyer and Ter
miner has adjourned.
The grand jury informed the judge that
they had not yet finished their work
and asked to be allowed 10 retire. which
request the Judge granted. At 80 p. NJ.
the grand jury adjourned until to-mor-
row
