MEETING OF 7Hg CABINET
Progress Of the Cuban Debate in
Congress Eagerly Followed.
President and His Advisers Are En-
barrassed by the Possibility
Of Favorable Action.

A regular meeting OF the Cabinet was held
today. 1t Is Understood in Official circles
that the resolutions with regard to Cuban
recognition before the senate and the
House were considered with much serious
Dess.
1t is also the understanding among the
higher officials that the Administration is
not In favor Of the recognition OF Cuban bel
iigerency at this time. 1t may be said that
this ID an open secret.
The conservative feeling OF the President
and his advisors is said to be the result. not
OF any lack OF sympathy with the insurgents.
but OF the knowledge OF the embarrassments
that would confront the United States Gov
eminent il recognition were accorded.
1t is also stated that the President and
the members OF his Cabinet are embarrassed
over the possibility OF the adoption by
Congress of resolutions on the Cuban qucs-
tion In a form requiring executive ap-
proyal.
Some prominent officials. while known
to have the greatest personal sympathy
with the insurgent cause in Cuba, have
shown that they believe that their formal
recognition by Congress and the President
at this time would result i'll consequences
too serious 10 be lightly encountered.

cars run less frequently than required by

All these defects the proposed legislation
is intended to cure. It cannot possibly
work any hardship to the corporations.

TWO COMETS IN TIE SKY
Observations Made Last Night by
Naval Observatory Astronomers.
The Latest Fiery Traveller Came Near
the Earth, But Is Now speed
Ing Far Away.

The astronomers at the Naval Observa-
atory were enabled to take observations
last night, and the fact WAS established
beyond doubt that there are two comets,
instead OF one, dashing about through
space.
The comet observed last night Is hardly
80, 600, 600 miles from the earth. and Is
moving very rapidly. Its direction now is
away from the earth. and all danger OF a
collision between these two bodies is past.
This comet was discovered by PerriDe
on the 18th instant. Its discovery was
an accident, Perrine, at the time be saw
it, being on the lookout for the comet he
discovered in November. This was not OBJ
served by the local astronomers last night.
The new comet has been much nearer the
earth than was supposed, at one time being
within 30.O0O.000 miles of this planet
very short distance. according TO the way
comets travel.
The movements Of this comet have been
rather peculiar TO one yerscd In such mat
tiers. When discovered it was nearing the
earth. although not coming directly toward
1t. Then IL changed its course and re-
ceded from this particular spot. Again the
course was changed and once more the
comet ana earth were getting tngether ~hen
the fiery mass wheeled about and Is now
going away from us. never TO return. At
least not for several hundred years.
The comet passed its nearest point to the
sun on January 81. 1t is now moving rap
idly away, losing its light, and is about
half as bright as it was last week.
Prof. Hardness and his associates viii
make further observations at the first op-
portunity, and the old comet will un-
douttedly be located.

Sympathy for the Cuban Cause Rilcs
the Spaniard at Tampa.
New York, Feb. 2S.-A Herald special
from Tampa, Fla, says: senor Pedro So
lis. the Spanish vice consul, is greatly in
censed because of an incident that occurred
during the recent visit of Thomas Estrada
Palma. the Cuban leader, to this city.
While Palma was here he was called on
by Major Douglass Conoly and Capt. Fred
krause. OF the Florida National Guard. who
was accompanied by Col. T. C. Taaafero
of the governors staff. The three gentle
men were in uniform. and Senior Soils con-
tends that their visit was an official recog-
milton OF Palma and the insurgent cause
and a violation of the neutrality laws.
Soils has reported the matter to the
Spanish minister at Washington, and says
the latter has asked Secretary of State
Oiney for an explanation.
II feel this matter very keenly.'' Seror
Soils said. mo such recognition has been
accorded me since have been here, and 1t
is u great indignity that Spanish official
should be ignored and a man like Palma,
who represents only bands of robbers, be
honored. The action OF these military Off
GERS was not only a slight to me, but an in
suit to Spain.''

Weyler Feared A ctiOnat Madrid W ould
Prejudice His Campaign.
Madrid, Feb. 2S.-The Havana CORE
spondent of the Impartial ca baes report
OF an interview with Capt. Gen. Weyler. in
which he says that the dissolution of the
Spanish Cortes and the consequent holding
OF new elections will greatly embarrass
him. inasrnuch as he has procured the
suspension of political activity in the island
OF Cuba.
Moreover, the United States, he says, could
revive hope in the minds OF the insurgents
of their being recognized as belligerents.
which would greatly disturb the nation and
excite an inopportune crisis in Spain.
Nevertheless, he says, nothing could be
placed above the needs of the mother cOun-
try, though he wished to remark that the
situation In the island was being improved
daily.
In Madrid the official version of the
foregoing is that the ministry cabled to
Gen. Wcyler offering to resign and re-
frain from dissolving the Cortes il thereby
the pacification of Cuba would be hastened.
Gen Weyler sent a reply. personally offer
ing to support the ministry, who there
upon Immediately decided to dissolve the

I'VE Caa Go to War with Spain To-

Even ut the expense of war With
SPAIN" said Senator Chandler to The
Times last night, ''I am in favor Of voting
for the most drastic resolution looking
to the independence of Cuba. IT Is time
that this country should assert itself in
this matter. We have been protesting
against the Armenian butcheries in the
name of civilization. and why not protest
against the butcheries, tue bloody butcheries
which are being pcrpetrated on the island

THE argument is made that any interven-
tion on the part of the United States in the
trouble that is now existing between the
patriotic men in Cuba, who are seeking
their independence, is that 1t might look
like a declaration OF war against Spain.

war with Spain tomorrow and whip her.
THE plain duty OF this country is to
throw out n strong arm in favor of any
people who are oppressed. Our neighbors
to the south of US, only a hundred miles
south, are sadly oppressed at this time.
and it is our manifest duty to go to their
defence, and at once. ANY other course
will mean a declaration to European

To Enforce Charter Requirements.

1t is quite important that the bill, in
troduced in both Senate and House, which
provides penalties for Noncompliance, on
the part of any corporation operating in
the District under q charter from Con-
gress, with any OF the charter requirements
should become Q law. Every charter
granted imposes certain obligations upon
the respective corporation, but In the
majority of instances the granting act
failed to contain a penalty clause for nom
fuifillnnent. This has already worked Sc
rious Inconvenience, IL not hardship, and
as the responsibility for seeing to the per-
formance Of such obligations rests upon
the Commissioners, they should also be
enabled TO compel their discharge. The
bin already referred to confers that power.
The proposed law is Intended chiefly to
apply to the street railway companies.
Its object is to hold them to the schedules
laid down In their charters, to compel
them TO keep the paveInents iyetween and
