CABINET MEETING.
Devoted to a General Discussion OF
Cuban Question.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The Cabi-
net meeting to-day was devoted to a
general discussion of the Cuban ques-
ton, but without anything of import
ance resulting therefrom. The Govern
ment has received no intimation of the
preparations of any note on the part OF
the powers, and the members of the
Cabinet do not think the effect OBJ
Viously making by Spain to concentrate
the powers in her favor will result III
their agreeing on any particular line
of action.
The present position of the Admins
tration is that of waiting Congressional
action without attempting to influence
it or postpone it's decision. The Pres
ident, it can be stated, is not at all
likely to veto any resolution that Con-
gress may adopt on the Cuban ques-
ton. The Administration does not be-.
leve Congress will pass a resolution
for the recognition of the Cuban insur-
gents, but if it should, a veto of it
would be very improbable. 1t is said,
however, that the President might re-
gard it as an encroachment on his pre-
rogative, the Constitution clearly MAX
ing it the duty of the Executive to rec
ognize the independence of a nation.
At the same time the Cabinet has not
discussed the course to be pursued in
the event of Congressional declaration
for independence.

NOTE TO THE POWERS.
Said That It Will Blame Sugar
Manufacturers,

LONDON, April 15.-A special dis
patch from Madrid, published this af-
ternoon. says the note to the Powers
will reveal the whole Cuban question,
pointing out that all the trouble with
the United States arises from the clam
or of the sugar manufacturers, who, it
is claimed. fomented and organized the
entire revolt
Attention will be recalled 10 the al
legged unmolested American filibusters,
and it will be asserted that the chief
insurgent leaders are not Cubans, but
Adventures of all nationalities, whose
sole purpose is plumber and robbery.
The concessions made by Spain will
be enumerated, and the note will say
that while Spain has done everything
possible to pacify the island, the Con-
suls of the United States have consti-
tuted themselves insurgent leaders, and
the further statement will be made that
as autonomy promised desired results
an American squadron was sent to
Cuba to encourage the insurgents to
hold out.
These contentious, it is added, will
be supported by documentary evidence,
which. it is alleged, will provs the bad
faith displayed throughout by the
United States toward Spain
The note to the Powers Will conclude
with declaring that SPAIN having ex-
hausted every means of peace, is reluc-
family compelled to prepare for war,
and to fight for the maintenance of its
rights and honor.

WILL NOT SURRENDER CUBA.
Spain Has Never Entertained the
Thought of Evacuating.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-In view
of the conflicting reports as to the at
titude of Spain, high foreign author
ity authorized the following semi Off
cial statement of the Spanish position
as to the surrender of Cuba:
"Once and for all let it be understood
that the erroneous impressions as tic
SPANS REIMBURSEMENT Of the island of
Cuba are false, and are calculated to
inspire false hopes and embarraSs in
telligent action. The Government OF
Spain has never entertained the
thought, and never will entertain it, OF
evacuating Cuba. At no time has there
been a consideration of any step with
drawing the sovereignty of Spain over
her West Indian colonies.
THE honor and dignity of Spain re-
volt at the suggestion of independence
of Cuba, which would alike reduce that
island to the misery of irresponsible
rule, and at the same time terminate a
Spanish authority irreparably bound up
with the prosperity of the island
For this and other reasons the re-
port that Spain is slowly yielding to q
retirement from Cuba are both mis-
chievous and groundless. No rulers
no statesmen no Cortes of Spain would
ever consider such a humiliation. But
in the face of it, Spain, always desir-
Gus of peace and ready by every hon
Orable means to secure peace, will
stand resOlutely in defense of her in
alienable right, her sovereignty and her
honor. And she feels confident she has
with her the moral support of the en-
tire civilized world
INSURGENTS HAVE NOT ACCEPT
ED ARMISTICE.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-Mr. Que
sada, the representative here of the
Cuban insurgents, said to-day in regard
to the London Stock Exchange rumors
of an armistice having been agreed to
by the Cuban insurgents, that there
had been no such agreement, and that
these reports were circulated only for
the purpose of delaying action by the
United States.

each of the five divisions that have
been mapped out for the mosquito feet,
under command of Commander Horace
Elmer. These vessels vii be the flag
ships of their divisions and will be I'M
der the command of a naval officer.
These assignments actually have been
made. The only other officer of the
regular navy board will be one en-
gineer. The rest Of the officers and
crews are to be made UP of the naval
reserves, with the possible addition of
volunteers. If volunteers are assigned
to them, they most probably will be
the regular officers and crews of the
ships, it being the desire Of the de-
partment to retain as many of these
men as possible

NAVAL DEMONSTRATION.
Report That the Powers Will In
tervene in Favor of Spain.

ROME, April 1.-THE "Popolo Ro-
mona" understands that the powers will
intervene in favor of Spain with a ma
val demonstration.
AUSTRIA TAKING THE LEAD.
LONDON, April IA special dis
| patch from Rome, referring to the ru-
mors of a proposition to make an in
ternational navy demonstration off the
Island of Cuba, says Austria is taking
the lead in the matter but it is under
stood that Great Britain and Germany
| are not favorable to the suggestion.
| The Spanish ambassador made a long
visit to the Foreign Office, and later
| the Austrian ambassador called.
ENGLAND WOULD NOT JOIN.
LONDON, April 15.-The officials of
the British Foreign Office to-day, when
questioned on the subject, refused to
make a statement as to whether Great
Britain would join a demonstration in
behalf of Spain, but they added that
! they did not believe such a demonstra-
ton would be made. A representative
of the Associated Press, however,
! learns from the ambassadors here of a
| continental power that no such dem
onstration is contemplated, though it
might be m,ooted by some despairing
| friend of SPAIN He added: such a
demonstration would not succeed even
| if attempted, in view Of Great Britain's
refusal to join in any movement what,
ever that would put pressure upon the
| United States. If the continental pow
ers attempted it, Great Britain would
probably openly indorse the United
| States The Austrian ambassador
openly says he has given up any hope
| of Europe preventing war;
A WARMING TO THE POWERS.
PARIS, April 15.-The Temps this
afternoon warns the powers against
hasty action, and adds. Europe must
not forget she has a great interest in
America. 1t would be simply disas-
trous to provoke war between the two
continents, and above all, it is neces-
sary for the powers to come to an
understanding and act in concert Any
nation which alone assumed the re-
sponsibility of supporting Spain and
becoming an enemy of the United
States would do the greatest injury to
its most essential interests"

Daniel of Virginia was next recog-

UNDER NINE DAYS
Quick Passage Of u. S. S.
Mohican From Coast.
Has 100 Men and 1875 Boys-Rough
Weather-Ammunition for Balti-
more-On Cruise.

The United States training ship Mo-
hican, Book commander, arrived in
port and anchored in naval row at
about $50 p. m. Saturday, after an ex-
cellent run of less than nine days from
San Francisco, which port she sailed
from on the 10th inst. The usual sal
utes We're given and answered. Be
sides her regular crew of 100, she has
125 boys who are being disciplined in
the duty of serving on the high seas
for Uncle Sans navy.
The trip from San Fransico to this
port is well worthy Of special mention.
The Mohican is an old ship and in rank
among the vessels of the United States
navy, is only a third-class cruiser.
Notwithstanding this fact, she came
from San Francisco in the very fast
time mentioned above. This has very
seldom been equaled by ships of the
first-class. The record is still better
too, considering the fact that rough
weather was met with all the way
down.
The crew Of the training ship is as
follows: Commander, S. NJ. Book;
Lieutenants, T. Porter, NJ. L. Wood H.

The hen is the best help on the farm,
and yet few farmers seem TO realize
that fact. The old rule was to keep lot
of hens, all sizes, ages and conditions,
running together. The nests were here,
there and everywhere, and it took an
hour TO thoroughly scouF about for the
eggs, which seldom amounted to more
than dozen. The eggs, scarce aa they
were, were taken to the country store
and traded off for goods. The eggs were

and no wonder the "pesky hen never

the poultry culture thought and study,
and has built comfortable houses and
big runs, and divided up his flock into
small families, he has had a revelation.
The hens not only soon proved that they
were profitable, but demonstrated the
fact that when given a chance they
were veritable mortgage lifters. " More

A Handsome Breed Peculiarly Do

Embden, or Bremen, geese are said
by Samuel Cushman in The Country
Gentleman to be one Of the most hand
some and profitable varieties. Of all the
pure breeds--if it be bred pure--they
are the most desirable for market pur-
poses. II the best crosses are to be pro-
duoed for either the early or late mar
kets, this breed is indispensable. Their
white skin and compact shape give them
first place with high class trade. They
also mature early, and are as easily
pluoked when mature as any breed, and
their feathers, being white, are sold
most readily. They are also more quiet
and gentle than other varieties, and
make the best mothers.
On the other hand, although their
eggs are large, few are laid compared
