Solemn silence Afteryynrd.

The Cabinet meeting continued until /
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and at its
conclusion Secretaries Long and Hay and
the Attorney General stated that no Off
ciaI message had been received from the

learned through reliable press dlspatche,;

refusal and by making a counter prol osal
to the United States.
The exact nature OF the counter prop
osition was not stated, but it was the
general opinion that if the American Gov

be ready to negotiate the matter upon a
friendly footing.

Santiago de Cuba. Nov. 4.-Capt. g.. 8.
Woodson, the medical officerewho accom-
panied Col. Hood to Gibara, returned TO
Santiago today and made a verbal re-
port to Gen. Wood IN regard to the small
pox epidemic in the Holguin district. He
said 1t was impossible to exaggefate the
situation There are more than 500 cases
in the district, and half the town OF Gi-
bara is infected.
The epidemic has been in progress for
more than three years. and the Spanish
and Cuban authorities have made no at
tempt to check it. The type Of the dis
ease Is singularly virulent. In view OF
this state of affairs. Capt. Woodson
thought 1t would not be advisable to send
any more troops to the Hoiguin district
until the condition was improved.
Cant. Woodson established hospital
with $50 beds at Gibara and isloated 11
! cases of the disease. He told Gen WOOD
| that the Messrs. Warren and aConkiing,
| the Red Cross representatives. had done
little toward distributing the 800 tons Of
| provisions and medicines carried to Hoi-
gum by the schooner Mary j.. Mores a
month ago. The Cubans charged them
| with demanding money for the supplies.
Col. Hood, on the grounds OF punhs
necessity, expelled Warren and Conkhhs
! from the Red Cross office at the point OF
the bayonet and placed Capt. Woodson In
! charge. Woodson will leave Gibara TO-
| morrow. =,

ChicaGo's Grand Jury Investigates Charges
- of Bribery in City Affairs.
CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-Allegations Of
bribery in city affairs are under investi-
cation by the grand jury and the entire
city council has been ordered to appear
before that body. The investigation
will not be confined especially to charges
made in connection with the 5O-year
street car franchise ordinance. Alleged
bribery in other matters of public i'm
portance will receive attention. The
clerk of the grand jury was instructed
to send out subpoenaes for nine alder
men and two ex-aldermen. All of these
save one appeared. All who appeared
were heard. Enough evidence of inter-
est was brought out to determine the
grand jury to proceed along the line
adopted and the clerk was instructed to
send out su,nmonses for every member
of the Chicago city council.

address Of the president, Rose G. Swart
Of Oshkosh. Miss Swart introduced her
remarks by pointing out the difficulty Of
designating exact educational reforms.
She said that ut the bottom, the way to
get at this designation is to question
facts, and not to summon facts in the
support Of theories. She said that It
now seems clear that the idea Of educa-
ton in the past has been too much the
mere getting Of knowledge and too little
action. Youth should be trained to do,
not simply to know. She suggested
that lesson might be taken from Min.
nesota in the appointment here in this
state Of an inspector of graded schools
who shall be q specialist in that field.

PAYMENT OF CUBAN TROOPS
United States Will Advance
\ the Money.
CHARGE IT AGAINST REVENUES
Unless the Country Does So Cuha's Sol
diers Will Have . Very Long
Time to Wait. %&

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Negotiations
are pending for the payment Of Cuban
troops 80 that on laying down their
arms they may be prepared to enter on
civil duties and earn their livelihood.
There will be no appropriation if the
plan is decided upon, as it will probably
be of advancing money and charging it
against the revenues of Cuba to pay the
soldiers for their services in the Cuban
army. This debt is not one resting on
the United States but is one for which
the Cuban. government will be obi
gated on the establishment Of an inde-
pendent Cuban government. Until the
establishment of . permanent govern
ment there is no authority for the pay
ment of these soldiers and unless this
government advances the money they
will have to go an indefinite time with
out pay for services rendered in the
war for independence. The special de-
ficiency appropriation bill carried an
item Of g, OO0, 900 as an emergency fund,
which the government may use for any
purpose, and the idea is to advance the
money for the payment of the Cuban
soldiers out Of this fund. It is under
stood, however, that the president has
not yet consented to this arrangement.

said:
"The chaplains are q sort Of sop to

substance to them. They just take a
minister and put uniform on him,
with silver cross on the shoulder, pay
him $500 month and turn him loose on
1900 men without any Of the imple-
ments of the spiritual warfare to fight
with. have been disappointed.
"When I get out am going to sug-
gest that they do away with the chap
lains. I suppose there may be howl,
but it is better to raise the issue and
have the whole system raised. o..
when We get down to Cuba III
wager most of the men would rather go
to cock fight or bull ring than to at
tend services. To tell the truth, I am
inclined to think there is lot of balder-
dash about what chaplains do accom-
plish outside of meeting the sentiment
that calls for their presence with every
body of troops"
