CABINET CONSIDERS CUBA.
CaIIoun's Report Awaited-Thc Re-
lief Fund-Gcn. Lees Advice.

WASHINGTON, -. c., May 2.-Ihe
Cabinet again to-day gave most of It's
time TO the discussion Of Cuba, including
not only the methods OF distribution Of
relief to the distressed Americans in the
island, but also the general subject OF
the insurrection. As 10 the latter, the
proceedings were confined entirely TO dis
cussion, and it was not attempted 10 out
line any definite plan Of procedure at this
juncture. Everything appears 10 depend
upon the conclusions that are reached by
Mr.. Calhoun. That this does not neces-
sarily imply any great delay In treating
the question with more purpose TO ac-
complish something than has yet been the
case is made probable by the fact that
the President expects that Mr. Calhoun
will have completed his mission in Cuba
and be on his way back TO Washington
in the course of a week or ten days.
misunderstanding Day, who is charged
with the execution of the Presidents
wishes respecting the relief measures,
had long interview with President Nc
Kinley this afternoon just after the Cabi-
net meeting. The conclusion was reach
ed that having advanced Consul-General
Lee funds to meet all probable immediate
necessities, there was no opportunity FOR
the adoption Of further steps
until he had been heard from.
The Consul-General in turn IS ad-
vising with his subordinates in Cuba
preparatory to recommending to the
State Department a definite plan OF action
I'm the distribution of relief. He has
called a meeting in Habana tomorrow
of all American consuls who can yeach
that capital conveniently. for the pui-
pose of consultation. These officials are
expected TO come with all the facts and
figures as to the extent of relief needed
in their respective localities. and upon
that basis pro rata distribution Of sup
plies and money can be made.
The question Of sending food supplies
being again under consideration here,
General Sullivan, the commissary-gene-
raj Of the army, has been called Ipon TO
give the benefit of his experience to the
State Department officials IN that line.
Realizing that owing to different eli
matte conditions, the same ration that
is desirable in the United States would
not do at all in Cuba. it was found pru-
dent TO call upon General Lee for "A
statement of the kind of food supplies
that would be most acceptable and pro-
per for the distressed Americans on the
island When his answer is received. the
State Department will ask General Sulli-
van to make the necessary purchases
through the well-equipped depots of the
cOmmssary department. 1t is felt that
all the supplies necessary can be procured
in New York at short notice. If the
money at hand-about s4O,OO0-does not
suffice. as 1t is feared it may not. then
Congress will be called upon once more.
