CABINET MEETING.
The Cuban Resolution Passed BY The

WASHINGTON May 21.-The cabinet
meeting today was interesting because
the principal subject OF discussion WAS
our rslations toward Cubs. The action

another forward step, and while up to
this time he has, ss he promised In
the beginning Of his administration,
confined his efforts largely to securing
absolute protection for American citi-
zans In Cuba, he now has come to the
termination TO use bis powsrs to stop
the bIoodehed in the leland as far as
this can be done without Involving the
United States In war.
There was some tulk respecting the
application Of the relief measures in
favor OF American citizens in Cuba.
It was decided that the delay OF the
formal signature OF the resolution
would not necessarily prevent i'm medi-
ate application Of some money to feed
