THE CABINET MEETING.
shows Hearty Endorsement OF
the Administrations.

Washington. Nov. 1O.-The elections
formed the theme that almost exclu-
sively occupied the attention of the
cabinet at special session held
Wednesday. The session was called to
take the place of the regular Tuesday
meeting, which had to be deferred ow-
ing to the absence of the president and
several of his official household. The
meeting was in the nature of All cX-
change of congratulations on the gen
cral results and the dispatches sent
over the special white house wires were
quickly communicated to the cabinet
room and discussed by the members.
Every one OF the cabinet present took
part in the discussion and individual
explanations anG comments on the
votes i'll their respective sections of the
country were made. The feeling on
pressed at the meeting. summed up,
WAS that the election results showed Il
Icarty endorsement OF the admnis-
1lation and that in the main he repub-
lean losses in some OF the cities were
attributablr to the deveIopmt Ut of local
fc, ling following the tidal wave OF
1896 in districts which then elected re-
pnblicnns on very large ma .oritirs.
There was great qualification at the
outlook for The senate makeup. the
opinion as expressed being hat there
would be republican naiori,y of
doubtless cigh, and possibly more in
that body. AS to the homsr there WAS
some apprehension. though the belief
was expressed, based on the advires at
hand that there might be a republican
majority of perhaps not over three.
The democratic gains in the south
created no surprise, as the race issues
had prepared the administration for
the result 1t was contcndcd ut the
meeting, however, that in Il general
way the districts throughout the conn
Try, normally republican, had remained
so, and it was asserted throughout the
vote failed to show any sign of ccnsure
OF the administration in its war con-
duct.
The situation in Clbu was discussed
and as Il result it is believed that the

ing with the dispattA, that the United
States have right to expect. On the
other hand il is said thai yellow fever
exists in Havana and that il would not
be prudent TO send troops to occupy the
city AT this time even il the Spaninrds
we're ready to cvacuate It. There is no
doubt. however, that the United States
will take formal possession of the Gu
ban government on january /, if not
earlier. II is represented on good a,l-
tEority that the Spnniar,is are making
the very most of their opportunities in
Che matter of customs and that the
common people are made to suffer in
consequence. After the cabinet meet
ing it was stated that nothing has been
received recently from the Paris COM
