A Letter to Miss Helen Gould.
President Mckinley today wrote a letter
to Miss Helen Gould of New York, express
ing deep regret that he was unable to ac-
cept her generous offer to donate 100000
to the government for use in the war with
Srain. The President told Miss Gould that
the donation could not be accepted with
out an act of Congress. After speaking Of
the patriotism of Miss Gould, the Presi-
dent intimated that she could put the
amount in a vessel for the navy. There
are ways of making a donation to the navy
which will not require special legislation.
1t is understood that Miss Gould offered
to give 100000 If it would be of service.

Today's Cabinet Meeting.
The cabinet held "a short session today
without doing anything Of great public in
terest. Reports of the workings of the de-
partments were made by the different Sec
retaries. Secretary Gage talked on the
question of the coming bond issues and the
way to get them before the people for pop
ular subscription. Secretary AIger and Sec
retary Long talked Of what they will need
In the way of supplies, etc.
AS to news, there was none. Up to the
time Secretary Long went to the cabinet
meeting he had not received word from
Rear Admiral Sampson confirming the news
OF the bombardment of Matanzas. The
cabinet wondered at this. Secretary Long
was in doubt about the whole matter when
he left the White House. No news was re-
ceived from Manila, although the cabinet
expects to hear Of action some time tomor-
row.
1t was said by four or five members OF
the cabinet that no news of the movements
OF the Key West feet had been received to-
day, despite the fact that a daily report
Is made to Secretary Long and President
Mckinley.
The positive statement can be made that
the subject of the annexation of Hawaii
was not mentioned by the President or
member of the cabinet It was generally
supposed that some decision as to the
seizure of the island or as to legislation
would be discussed, but no mention was
made Yesterday afternoon President Nc
kinley had ia conference with Senators
Davis and Morgan and John w. Foster.
