WASHINGTON, Oct. Is, 1895.

Washington caused u renewal of the
talk, which has been more or less
prevalent for months past, about the
inauguration OF a vigorous foreign
policy by the administration, but there
has been lIo official announcement
made which would indicate either The
truth or falSlty OF the talk. The first
cabinet meeting since May was held
this week. One of the members stated
that the trip to the Atlanta exposition
upon which the President and Mrs
Cleveland and the entire cabinet and
the ladies of their families will start
next Monday, was discussed and
plans completed. He did not say
what else was discussed, but it is
known that the Cuban situation aud
other foreign complications took up Il
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 Washing
ton for the purpose of passing resolu-
tlons of sympathy with the Cuban
revolutlonists; lie thinks it's promoters
have been too precipitate. What he
thinks has, however, had no effect
upon the sleners of the call for that
meeting, who are among the most
prominent business and professional
men of the national. capital, as they
held Il sneetiEg tonight to select date
for the big demonstration. The labor
organizations are arranging to take Il
prominent part in the meeting, num-
Der of them having already adopted
resolutions of sympathy for the
Cubans and applied for seats at the
mass meeting. Two pIoRli,l&nt mem
bers of the Cuban re. olutionary or
ganiZatiOn which is maintained in
New York have been l.ere all the
week boIstering up the local unthus-
iasm by talking about expected revo-
lutiOnary victories. There is rumor
that the Spanish minister will ask
President Cleveland to prevent this
meeting, but it is hardly probable
that he will make such a useless re-
quest.
According to Mr.. Henry J. Brennan,
of Ardmore. Indian Territory, who is
now in Washington. the Dawes COM
mission will not succeed in its mission
of trying to treat with the Indians.
Speaking Of the matter that gentle
man said: 1.-The Indians SIMPLY wont
treat. The commission is further
away now from accomplishing any
prac, ical 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 vi
be reached. Meanwhile the 250, ,0t Q
white people i'll Indian Territory are
suffering great hardship. None If Ii e
towns have any municipal govern
ments, and the children are growing
up in ignorance from lack Of schoo
facilities. There is only one thing t.
be done. Congress must inlerve. e
and allot the lands in Il fair and equi-
table manner, SO that the smart In
dians shall not cheat the ignoran,
ones. Some sHetkod of arbitration
will have to be invoked in regard I"
the townsites, but after the land gues
ton is settled, The rest will he eas.
sailing"
Next week Secretary Olney and Sir
Julian PauncefOot, the British Anl,as-
sador, will begin, on behalf of their
respective guvernmentes, the negotia
ton of Il treaty fur the settlement of
the claims of the owners of Canadian
sealers captured previous to the arbi-
tratiOn. A member of the Canadian
government will lie present in all ad
visory capacity. They hope to get the
treaty in shape hy the time Congress
meets,
