CUBA md HLUAII,
T,cO Highly Important Subjects Before

Ttco Highly Important Subjects Before
the Cabinet.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 15.-The
Cabinet to-day engaged in discussion of
two highly important matters-Cuba and
Hawaii. The session of the Cabinet was
not longer than usual. On both subjects
the me m bers of the Cabinet were reticent
to suspicious degree, leading to belief
that each subject has reached a stage
where it is regarded as of the highest i'm
portance not to let too much reach the
public.
AS to Hawaii, one member of the
Cabinet said to THE CALL correspondent:
Something will be done soon which will
be satisfactory" That was all he would
say His remark was backed up bv
similar statements of others, but there
were no details and no representations
as to how soon this something" will be
done.
That the Presidents mind is more fully
made up on the subject of Hawaii than on
that of the Madrid mission is shown by
the fact that new names were suggested
at the Cabinet meeting for the Spanish
mission. These suggestions were made
by individual members of the Cab
met, ana they were received for
consideration by the President. That
Ex-Governor Cox will not accept the
mission is now evident, and that the man
to fill the positian has not been picked is
also evident. The President is undecided
and is holding back for the man he wants.

Those Who Negotiate With the
Dawes mmission Are Now
Threatened With Death.

WICHITA, kANs June 15.-The pend
ing negotiations between the Dawes Com
mission and the Cherokees of Indian Ter
ritory, in which the Government is seek
ing to bring about an agreement whereby
the Cherokee National Government shall
be wiped out and the lands be allotted,
have developed strong feelings of resent
ment among the fullbIoods and the Khe-
Too Wah, secret political organization
of the Cherokees. which will, it is feared,
precipitate actual hostllities unless there
is a speedy change of sentiment.
The Cherokee Nation is in the midst of
a political campaign, this being the year
for the election OF national officers and
the nominating conventions now being
held afford an opportunity for the dlssem-
ination of the seeds of discontent.
Besides these mass-nieetings are being
held throughout the Nation, at which
fiery speeches are made against continu-
ing the negotiations. Several numbers of
the Cherokee Commission have been
threatened with death it they treat with
the Dawes Comm mis- sion, and the blood
thirsty Khe-Too- Wahs have done enough
cold blooded murders 10 give assurance
that the threats will be executed.
The greatest anxiety ard unrest prevail
throughout the Cherokee Nation, and it is
believed a crisis is near at hand The
Cherokees have no faith in their leaders,
and the fullblood contingent has Tepudi-
ated the old parties and organized one of
their own. The delegation which they
sent to Washington was for the purpose
of old tribal leaders stopping further ne
gotiations with the Cherokee Commission,
and, if their government is overthrown,
placing the entire responsibility for the
change upon the United States Govern
ment.
There is no hope for anything APPROACH
ing an agreement between the two COM
missions which are now in session at Fort
Gibson until the delegation returns from
Washington. 1t is believed that even if
the Dawes Commission withdraws the
Cherokee election in August it will bring
on clash between the rival factions, and
further develo opments are awaited with a
feeling more of dread than hopefulness.
Should treaty be patched up by the
Dawes Commission it is the prevailing be-
lief that the fullbloods would wreak dire
vengeance npon their leaders. who in.
sisted on bringing it about. The Chero-
KEGS have more pride in their tribal
govern ment than any other tribe in the
Territory, and some OF The most radical
eadeIS declare that Lhey would prefer
death to tribal disbandmenI.

CHICAGO, Ill, June Is ALI is not

wealth concern. At a secrect session OF the

Was Attempted.
For Some Time Before Starting for
England He Had Been Under
Constant Supervision.

LONDON, ENG, June 4-Barnato's s
suicide was confirmed by dispatches this
afternoon. He was walking the deck of
the steamship after luncheon leaning on
the arm Of ieIow-passe niger, Of whom
he asked the time. Almost at the same
moment he wrenched his arm away and
Ieaped into the sea. The fourth officer of
the vessel plunged after him, but could
not reach him, as the Scot was steaming
l. knots and the sea was very heavy. A
boat was lowered as soon as possible and
the officer was saved, but Barnato was
dead when picked up. The body is being
EN- balmed and will be brought to Eng
land.
The critical situation of affairs in the
Iransvaal and the failure of certain ne
gotiatlons with the Transvaal Govern
ment greatly perturbed Bernato, who left
Johannes burg in April for a holiday at
Cape Town. The change did no good,
however, and his complete breakdown oc-
Cured May %, when he had an alarming
delirium, compelling friends to keep him
under constant supervision to prevent his
committing suicide. S. B. Joel, his
nephew and business manager, was sum-
moned and arrived May %.
Bsrnato was then little better, but it
was considered necessary to vest all busi-
ness responsibilities in Joel. Barnato was
in a serious condition when news was re-
ceived Of him May 25. He was suffering
from a severe nervous shock, and it is
also re ported that he was suffering from
deIirIum and under private restraint, and
for three months had been mentally un-
balanced.
The news of the suicide caused a slump
at the stock exchange. Consolid ated stock
fell from 11-16 last evening to IL. De

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 15.-In
accordance with advices recently received
by the Brazilian legation in this CITY the
time within which proposals will be re-
celved for the leasing of the railways
heretofore controlled by the Brazilian
Government has been extended from this
date, which was originally set, to Sep
tember9.
Government control of railways has
proven failure in Brazil, and hence the
decision to lease them to private parties.
There are about dozen of these railways,
including the principal trunk lines OF
Brazil, making up al aggregate of about
IA 600 miles.
A nun ber of foreign syndicates have
been figuring for some time, and it is
thought that several propositions will be
submitted by English and Belgian capi-
talists.
There has also been something OF an
effort in New York City TO organize an
American companv for the purpose OF
operating the Brazilian property, but so
far as can be learned at the present time
the movement has not met with very
hearty support.
