MEETING OF THE CABINET.
Pacific Railroad Case-spanish Cri-
sis-Cuba-Hawaii.

WASHINGTON, October 1.-The first
meeting of the Cabinet since the return
of the President from Massachusetts was
held to-day, and was attended by every
member save Secretary Gage, who is not
i'm Washington. The meeting lasted
longer than usual, in explanation of which
fact il was said that several of the Cabl-
net members were present Tor the, nrst
time in many weeks, and naturally they
sought the opportunity 10 inform them
selves fully upon the condition or analrs.
Foreign affairs occupied the greater por-
tion of the time given up TO discussion
though the prosecution OF the govern
ment's case against the Union Pacinc
railroad also came in for a great deal OF
consideration. Indeed IL Is stated that
the only action of the Cabinet to-day was
in the direction of closing up this issue
and il can be stated that the details OF
the plans of the government have been
arranged at last.
The Spanish Cabinet crisis attracted
much attention. and was discussed at
some length. FT some reason Minister
Woodford has still left his government
officially unadvised of the recent hap
penings in Madrid and nothing has been
heard from him since his interview with
the Duke of Tetuan, the Spanish Minis
ter for Foreign Affairs in the last Cabl-
net This fact compelled a reliance upon
the newspaper reports of the recent i'm
portant events in Spain.
1t may be said that there seems to be
a general belief among the members or
the Presidents official family that the
Madrid crisis. If not making for our good.
cannot be expected to injure our relations
with Spain. This belief is based upon the
idea that If a Conservative Cabinet sue
ceeds the Azcarraga ministry the worst
that can happen will be continuation or
the present line of policy. for Spain is
too near the end of her financial resources
TO put forth more strenuous efforts 10
subdue the Cubans. On the other hand.
IL is believed that a Liberal ministry
would almost certainly offer good oppor
tunities for bringing the present war TO
an end.
The conditions in Hawaii as revealed
by Admiral Beardsee. were talked over.
and with evident satisfaction the Cabinet
received the Admirals statement that in
all of his stay in Hawaiian ports his rela-
tions with the japanese officials on shore
and on the cruiser Naniwa, were of the
most pleasant nature. In no case had
there been the slightest exhibition OF a
purpose on the part Of the Japanese COM
mander to attempt any coup" and there
were constant exchanges of visits be-
tween the officers of the Naniwa and OF
the United States warships while the
Admiral remained in port.

ACOsTA SAFE IN vERi CRUZ.
He Is Seriously Wounded-Cubans
Never Stronger Than Now.

NEW YORK, October la New York
merchant, who has extensive business in
terests in Cuba, and is kept Informed OF
the progress of the insurrection by trust
worthy correspondents in different parts
of the island. received word to-day that
Colonel Baldamero Acosta. of the insur-
gent army, has safely landed in Vera
Cruz. He is seriously wounded. His wife
is with him. According to the merchants
correspondent, the insurgent Colonel was
enabled TO escape by means OF the con-
nivance OF Spanish officers.
The correspondent also states that the
recently reported capture of Hotchkiss
gun, "A lot of war material. and twenty
three Americans was founded on these
facts: Spanish gunner. who had been
with the insurgents in Tampa, Fla. turn
ed out to be spy. He informed the
military OF the location of the place
where the Cubans had buried a l2-pound
Hotchkiss gun. which had been landed
in Pinar del Rio about ten months. IL
had never been dug up because in being
landed II had been so injured as TO be
rendered useless. On the finding OF this
abandoned gun was based the official re-
port of the capture of the valuable war
munitions and the American volunteers.
The correspondent concludes by saying
that the insurgents were never stronger
than they are to-day.
