THE SESSION SHORT LIVED
Mckinley and His Cabinet As-
 sembIe to Consult.
CUBA AND SEAL QUESTION
Touched Upon. But no Definite Action Taken Will Wait Little Longer on Spain
 Gage Was Not Present.

Washington, Oct. S.-The cabinet was In session for an hour and a half today, all the members being present except Secretary Gage. Foreign affairs did not occupy mulch of the time, and the dis cussion was devoted mainly to the fortfh- coming annual reports of the several heads of the departments. These reports or an abstract of them are desired by the president so that they may be dis cussed in his annual message to congress Postmaster -GeTeral Gary remained with the president for some time after the other members of the cabint went away making the postoffice appointments.
 There was some discussion of the Cu- ban question and the seal conference but owing to the fact that both these matters are fin uransitory condition no definite action was decided upon
 The president had hoped ito secure a reply to his representations to Spain during the present month, but it was stated at the meeting that the Spanish cabinet crisis probably would cause de- lay in his matser. There was more or less speculation on the pant of members as to what would be the temper and character of the reply when it should be received, and the opinoin was general t(hah the new ministry would manifest a desire to culdvate fniendly relations with this country. The desire of the ndrnnis- tratiom is to meet these advances if they are aceompa nded by policy by Spain towards Cuba if they will end the war in accordance with American ideas. It is recognized that some time will be nec- essary to demonstrate the policy of the Sag agasta cabinet, and the presidents ad- vlsors are understood generally to favor the policy of allowing a reasonable time before following up the first note deliy- cred by Minister woodforj by another of more pressing character as originally had been i1Huended in case the first note should not bring a satisfactory reply.
 There was more or less discussion also of the fur sealing conference. Ut was stated after lfle meeting adjourned that it was noa yet considered as absolutely certain that Great Britain would not participate in tlfe conference. The meet ing also developed confirmation of the report that the Union Pacific syndicate had agreed ito increase it's bid to the gov eminent to $5O0OO0O0, and the attorney general, in view of this fact, had de. caded not to appeal to the courts, but to allow the sale to proceed.

neys was rigid. Various letters written after the death of Judge Camden, her former husband, were read this morn- ing to the jury. In these letters Mrs. Atkinson asserts that Owens had not paid for his land. These letters show dates subsequent to that of the report.
 William Wertman testified that Mrs. Atkinson about two years ago proposed to sell him hand belonging to the Cam den estate and wrote and delivered to him receipts for the purchase money. dating the receipts back to the time prior to Judge Camden's death. This witness received severe cross-exami- nation. The defense endeavored to show that he was and is in the employ of the prosecution for the purpose of giving and hunting up evidence.
 S. M. Peters, one of the best known farmers in the country, gave evidence for the state, tending to establish the alleged system of orgery. He stated that Mrs. Atkinson in the presence and after the dsath of her former husband, wrote and delivered to him in writing which she signed in Peters presence, Judge Camden's name, in this writing acknowledging receipts of money which Peters stated had at no time been paid.
 The evidence for the prosecution closed at noon today. The defense opened with D.. D. Westfall on the stand. Witness produced receipts given to him some years ago by Mrs. Atkinson, which are similar ito those alleged to have been forged, and stated the same are genu- inc and authorized by Judge Camden.
 Samuel Person, cashier of the Mer- chants National bank, of Clarksburg, and N. B. Newton, ex-cashier of the Weston National bank, were examined as to the banking business of Judge Camden during his lifetime The line of defense is not yet fully apparent.

Madrid, Oct. S.-Midmght.lTh cabi. | net has decided upon the immediate re- call of Gen. Weyler from Cuba. A de- cree will be issued appointing Capt.- Gen. Blanco Y Arenas, Marquis of Plena Plata, governor general of the island. 1.-The queen regent will sign the decree to- morrow.
 According to Fl Heraldo, 10000 rein- forcements will accompany Gen. Blanca Ito Cuba.
 In the course eff the cable message sent by Capt. .-Gen weyler to Premier Sa- galstA, placing his post in Cuba at the disposal of tIhe government. he said: If the functions with which the govern menlt had entrusted me had been merely those of governor-general of Cuba I two-fold character of my mission and my duty as commander -in-chief in the faloe of the enemy prevent my rendering a resignation.
 Nevertheless. although cam rely upon the aBso1We, unconditional support or t1a aulOIlOnLSlt5 0Mu cOnSLDtutlOnaH parties, as we'll as upon public opinofn, this would be insufficient without The confidenne of 'the government, now more than ever necessary to me, after the cel1- sure of which have been made the ob- ject by the members and journals of the liberal party and by public in the United States, which latter is largely influenced by the former. This confidence would be most necessary to enable me to pun aTb end to the war, which has already been virtually concluded from our lines a,f Juaraco to Cape Antonio."
 Senor SagaHta replied: "I thank you for your explanation ann value your frank mess. wish to assure you that the gov- ernmerft recognizes your services and values them as 'they deserve, but it thinks @ change of policy, in order to succeed requires that the authorities should be as one with the ministry.
 '"Thds has nothing to do with the con- fidence felt in you by the government, for the liberals have always said that the responsibility for a given policy does not always fall upon those who carry it out, but upon the government inspiring 1t. I shall communicate your decision to the government shortly.'

 Government.

Havana, lot S.--Gen. Weyler gave to- day an emphatic and absolute denial to the reports that he would rssist re- moval from his command in Cuba and in certain contingencies might espouse the Carlist cause.
 He said, according to the official ac- count: My principles and my mili- tary record are firm guarantee that will never oppose the constituted gov ernmsmt, whatever it may be-. I never ernment and I never shall. have al- ways obeyed orders and I always shall. So far as popular demonstrations go I accept them only as expressions of ap- proval of my military policy and as tokens of personal sympathy"
