hat Nothing Of Interest tTransplrss-niin-
lister woodford's Strange Silence on the
Spanish Crisis.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 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 except Secretary Gage,
who is not In Washington. The meeting
lasted longer than usual, in explana-
ton of which fact It was said that sew
aIal alnflk0eablnet membeTs were present
for the first time In BIaHy weeks, and
HatiIrsliy they sought the opportunity
to inform themselves upon the condl-
ton OF affairs upon their return.
Foreign affairs occupied the greater
portion of the time glvon up to discus
sion, though the prosecution OF the gov-
ernment's case against the Union Pa
cifio railroad also came in for good
deal of consideration Indeed, 1t is said
that the only action OF the cabinet to-
day was in the direction OF closing up
Of this issue, and 1t can be. stated that
the details OF the plans OF the govern
ment hnve been arranged Mt last
The Spanish cabinet crisis attracted
much attention, and was discussed at
some length. For 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
minister for foreign affairs in the last
cabinet. This fact compelled q reliance
upon newspaper reports OF the recent
important events in Spain.
it'may be said that there seems to be
q general belief among the members of
the Presidents official family that the
Madrid crisis, II not making for our own
good, cannot be expected tn injure our
relations with Spain. This belief is
based upuon the idea that II a cons
servative cabinet succeeds the AZcarrag
ministry, the worst that can happen Will
be continuation OF the present line of
policy, for Spain IL too near an end OF
her financial resources to put forth
more strenuous Efforts 10 subdue the
CubanS on the other hand,it is be-
lieyed that n Liberal ministry will al
most certainly offer good opportunities
for bringing the present war TO q close.
The conditions in Hawaii. as revealed
TO Admiral Beardslee, were talked of
and with evident satisfaction. The
cabinet received the admiral's state
ment that in all OF his stay in Ha-
waiian waters his relations with the
Japanese officials, on shore and on the
cruiser Nanlwa, were OF the most pleas
ant nature.
