cabinet council has been fixed for to-day,
this being the first meeting of the cabinet
since Presidents Olevelaud's message was
transmitted to congress on account of the
illness of Senior Canoyas, the premier.
According to some of the Spanish news
papers the quess siou Will be raised at
this council of the expediency of conf
Dental note to the ambassadors of the
powers here in Madrid in regard to Pres
ident Cleveland's message. The cabinet
ministers themselves, however, maintain
an absolute reserve on this subject, and
therefore any newspaper statements on
the subject are premature.
Reports are current here that the ques-
ton has been raised Of calling attention
to the prejudice caused to the interests OF
Spain by defects in American legislation
in that, despite the good faith of the
Washington government. sixty.four fiji
clustering expeditions organized in the
United States have landed in Cuba, with
out whose aid the Cnbans could not have
continued the war.
Notwithstanding the currency of these
reports it can be authoritatively stated
that nothing has yet been decided, and it
is believed in some quarters that the
cabinet ministers will postpone making
any resolutions on the bject of Pres
ident Cleveland's message.

COLORADO VOLUNTEERS,
Denver, Celo.-It is claimed by the
leaders in the movement to send troops
from Colorado to fight for Cuban inde-
pendence that more than 1000 names
have already been enrolled. John Mo-

In reference to their plans Mr.. Moan
drew said yesterday: "The volunteers
will n ot leave Denver in small bodies and
by stealth as was originally proposed
Neither are they likely to 60 to the guilt
coast on railroad trains. Instead they
will move overland, either on foot or or
horse back, picking up tributary armies
along the line of march, until reaching
Florida they will have swelled to such
mighty host that the United States an
thorities will not care or dare to inter
fere with their embarkment for Cuba"
