ALLISON NOT COMMUNICATIVE.
Very Guarded in His Discussion of
Cabinet Possibilities Beyond
His Own CnSc

Washington, Jan. 7.-Senator Allison ar
rived in Washington to-day from Canton,
where he had a two hours conference
with President-elect Mckinley. In answer
- inquiries by the Associated Press, he
said in substance that his conference with
Mr. Mckinley was of confidential char

Cornelius N. Bliss, of New York, had been
or would be offered portfolios he did not
know Neither he added, had he much
definite information in regard TO Mr.. Ding
ley. of Maine. The name of the chairman
of the ways and means committee had
been prominently mentioned in connection
and undoubtedly he would fill that posi-
tion with marked ability, hut the senator
did not know whether he had been ten

fitness for the place, and the senator was
of the opinion that Mr.. Dingley'S name
was now under consideration in this con-
ncction. He (Allison) could not, however,
speak with authority or with any posi-
tivcnesS on the subject.
As to the pending Cuban resolutions,
Senator Allison said he had not discussed
them with Mr.. Mckinley. For his own
Dart. however, he thought that it would
any precipitate action in the matter. We
could well afford to proceed with defiber-
alton, and he thought II would be the part
of wisdom to do so. The senator said he
found Mr.. Mckinley in the best OF heallh

SHERMAN OR ALLISON?
Ohio Senator Wants No Cabinet Posi-
tion-AIIison Has Not Finally
Refused,

Washington. Jan. 7.-(Special) A new in
terest is impaired to the rumors that Sem
ator Sherman will be rendered the premier
ship of the Mckinley cabinet by state
ment made by the senator to an Ohio men,
ber of the house to-day. He said that he is
too old to administer the duties of the Of
fee and would endeaVor to close his ca
reer in the senate by securing a reelection.
Cleveland, O., Jan. THE statement by
Senator Allison in his interview with the
ington to the effect that he would not be
in the cabinet of President Mckinley is
not accepted as final here. 1t is stated on
the highest authority tonight that Mr.
Allison did not refuse yesterday to accept
the portfolio of the state department. In
fact, it is pretty certain that Mr.. Mckin-
ley did not offer him the place in so many
words OF course, he doubtless suggested
to Mr.. Alisqn that he would like to have
him in the cabinet, and ii is probable Mr.
Allison said he preferred TO remain in the
senate, without refusing point blank to ac-
cept place.
Mr. McKinley's friends believe that if the
position of secretary of state is offered to
Senator Allison in a formal way he will
not refuse to accept 1t, and ii is further
more believed that such an offer will yet
be made, in spite of what has already
transpired.
1t was stated at Mr.. Hanna's office to-
day that the exact date when Mr.. Sherman
fixed. although it was admitted that the
meeting had been arranged. 1t is quite
probable that no further important step
will be taken toward the formation of the
cabinet until the president-eleCt has con-
ferred with the senior Ohio senator.

military commander of Guanabacoa, just
across the bay from Havana.
Fully 300 families have left the town and

Nearly all the members of the Democratic
state central committee were present this
morning when Chairman Sam B. Cook call
ed the meeting 10 order In the Darlor of
the Madison house. The session was eX-
ecutive, and lasted over two hours. The
main subject of discussion was as to the
best means of keeping the activities of the
party organization stirred up during the
interims between campaigns To this end,
a subcommittee was appointed TO carry
the work on all the time, just as if a hard
night were raging The members of this sub
committee are Chairman S. b. Cook, of
Mexico: Secretary Thomas b. Love, OF
Springfield; Thomas T.. Barrett. of St.

DOUBTFUL SPANISH TALE.
Positive Assertion Made That Gomez
Has Submitted n Proposition
for Peace.

Chicago, Jan. "A dispatch to the Trib-
une from Washington says: Positive state
ments were made tonight from Spanish
legation sources that Gomez the Cuban
commander-in-chief had actually sub
mitted n proposition for peace to Senor
Sagasta in Madrid. and that the facts
have already been communicated to the
iunta here. All that stands in the way. it
is said. is the proposed recall of Captain
General Weyler. which the insurgents in
sist shall be preliminary to all negotia-
tions.
The statements come to the Tribune cor
respondent with great distinctness, but as
the source is Spanish. there is an open
suspicion that the news may be given out
for the express purpose of injuring the in
surgent cause.
Secretary Qucsada and other Cuban rep
resentatives here have all along denied
that the insurgents would accept anything
short of independence, and they profess 10
be shocked and disappointed at the story
of weakening on the part of Gomez. They
will not admit that he has communicated
with them. hut the legation story is to the
effect that a letter from the Cuban general
was received by the junta on December %
in which he says that if Weyler is recalled
and Martinez CampoS. CalteJa or General
Pando sent in his place the insurgents will
be ready to talk OF laying down their arms.

law had closed half of their mills and had
proved destructive TO the country's busi-
