Cabinet Discussed FiIibustering.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE illibus-
tering operations between this country
and cuba occupied the attention OF me
Cabinet to-day. Attorney-General Nc
Kenna gave his views on the subject Of
permitting alleged filbustering steamers
10 clear for Cuban ports with cargoes Of
arms and munitions of war. A general
discussion followed his remarks. The
Acknowledgement has decided not to rem
der an opinion in the case of the steamer
Dauntless until he can obtain additional
facts relative to the application OF her
owners TO clear from Jacksonville with
arms and ammunition.
Under ordinary commercial conditions
the application would be granted without
question. but the fact that the Dauntless
or any other vessel would be obliged 10
clear for some Cuban port held by the
Spanish puts a new phase on the matter.
The cargo could not be landed there, and
the vessel would be seized. This would
make it necessary for d vessel TO attempt
to land the cargo at some point along
the coast, and in order to deliver the
arms and ammunition to the insurgents
an armed force would be necessary. The
knowledge of this raises the question
whether the men necessary to carry out
the plans made for flibustering vessel
would not constitute an armed expedition,
a clear violation of law. The Attorney
General will have to decide whether the
force likely to be taken on the Dauntless
is an armed expedition within the mean
ing Of the law. Permission was given the
steamer Commodore to clear for a Cuban
port with arms and munitions Of war, but
the vessel was wrecked before reaching
the Cuban coast.
