CABINET DISCUSSES CUBA.

President Mckinley ConteD,plates some
Decisive Forward Step.
WASHINGTON, May 22.-The cabinet
meeting was not of long duration, but
it was interesting because the principal
subject of discussion was that Of our re-
lations towards Cuba. The action of
the senate in passing the Morgan joint
resolution declaring state of war in
Cuba was regarded as q movement that
threatened, il Carried out to the end, to
interfere seriously with the efforts of
the executive branch Of the govern
ment to accomplish something sub
stuntial for the Uubans. The details
Of the plan which President Mckinley
has in mind have not yet been dis
closed, in fact it may We said that
they are subject to arrangements upon
the basis of the latest official informc-
ton that is received from Cuba, prob
ably from Mr.. Calhoun. But it was
clearly manifested in the cabinet meet
ing that the president has made up his
mind to another forward step, and that
while, up to this time he has, Us he
promised in the beginning Of his admin
istrntion, confined his efforts largely to
securing absolute protection for Ameri-
can citizens in Cuba, he has now come
to determination to use his powers to
stop the bloodshed ON the island
90 far as he can without involving this
country in a war with Spain. It
was decided that the delay in
the formal signature Of the Cuban
relief resolution would not neces-
sarily prevent the immediate applica-
ton of some Of the money to feeding
the people who are represented US in
great distress, as the drafts cannot be
received before the formalities are com.
pleted, and the resolution becomes law.
