NO GREAT CONSEQUENCE.
The Inability to Get Strong Island or Carr
cline Group is No, Vital.

Washington, Dec. AFTER the cab
met meeting today, it was stated that
nothing had been heard from Paris
respecting the failure Of the peace
commission to negotiate the purchase
of Strong island or OF the Caroline
group, nor is the matter regarded as
of great consequence. In any event,
it is not vital to the treaty Of peace,
and If the Spaniards show an lnclina-
ton not to part with it, the matter
will be allowed to drop.
Secretary Gage renamed an hour af-
ter the other members of the cabinet
had left the White House, considering
the presidents message to congress-
The secretary regards the message as
one Of the most important sent to con-
gress in many years.
The cabinet discussed at some length
the administration of the government
Of the island of Cuba, going into de-
tails as to revenues, sanitation, the
personnel of the government and other
matters. A military government, Of
course, will exist for some time. The
cabinet decided that unusual care
should be taken to secure persons Of
tact, ability and discretion to admin
lister the affairs of the island tempo
rartly. Immediately upon occupation
Of the various cities, prompt steps are
to be taken to put them in the best
possible sanitary condition. and plans
We're discussed today IS to how best

NATIONAL SENTIMENT.
Sir Edward Grey Would Have Free PLAY
Rather Than Written Alliance.

London, Dec. 2.-Sir Edward Grey,
liberal member of parliament for Ber-
wick-on-Tweed, who was under secre-
tary of state for foreign affairs in Lord
Rosebery's cabinet, and who was the
spokesman of Lord Rosebery's govern
ment in the memorable declaration as
to Great Britair's Egyptian policy.
made in the house of commons in 1895.
spoke tonight on foreign affairs at
Blackburn, in Lancashire Referring
TO the magnificent effect of the rela-
tions between the United States and
Great Britain, accomplished by the free
press Of a free people on each side Of
the Atlantic, expressing the generous
impulses Of each nation he said: Il
would rather have the free play of this
national sentiment, which is enriching
the public life of both countries, than
a written alliance. We have finally
come to realize a double patriotism
the patriotism of country and the pa
triotism Of race. There Is a common
bond between the two peoples, and we
should look in times of peace to see
the sentiment growing, and in times of
disturbances to find in it something up
on which we could lean for mutual
support"
Sir Edward Grey condemned the TAT
tempts of some conservative speakers
to make party capital out Of this I'M
derstanding," and expressed a hope
that both Germany and the United
States may incline more and more
to our policy Of the open door, which
will lead to a great improvement in
trade throughout the world"

PERPLEXlNG QUESTIONS
What the Government is Called Upon to
Face as Result of Expansion Policy.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The United
States government is being called upon
to face some questions of interest re-
sulting from the expansion policy. The
British government some time before
the annexation of Hawaii to the United
States filed with Hawaii number of
claims for redress for ill treatment and
illegal confinement of British subjects
involved in the revolutionary movement
which overthrow the queen.
These amount to several hundred
thousand dollars in the aggregate, and
the question is the Hawaiian govern
ment having failed to settle them.
whether the United States government
does not inherit liability. The claims are
just such as were filed by the late Sec
rotary Gresham against the Hawaiian
government in behalf of a number of
alleged American citizens, most Of
whom afterWard turned out to be
aliens. None of our claims was pressed,
but they formed the foundation for the
British claims.
Another question of more Importance
is the determination Of the status of
some Of our newly acquired citizens or
subjects Already a Chinaman by birth.
but Philippine by citizenship. has ap-
piled for recognition as an American
citizen Another Ohinaman in Hawaii
wants a passport showing that he is a
citizen of the United States. The an
nexation law prohibits the coming into
the limits of the United States of
Chinese persons from Hawaii, bit tine
constitutionality of any act that pro-
poses to discriminate among American
citizens had been raised and this China
man is citizen by adoption. These are
few of the questions that have al
ready arisen, and others are expected
to follow in the near future

The First Session Opened With an Inn
pressVe Ceremony.

pfeSSVe Ceremony
Santiago de Cuba, Dec. 1.-The OPEN
ing Of the recently organized supreme
court this morning was an impressive
ceremony. Chief Justice Echeverria
and the associate justices, prior to the

trimmed with white lace-and accom-
panied by the attorneys practicing in
the court, who were similarly dressed,
formed in procession and passed into
the court room. the chief Justices es-
cnrting General Wood
The procession having divided into
semi-circles, General Wood, in a. few
tactfui and forceful words, opened the
proceedings, delivering the court in the
name Of the United States government,
TO the chief justice and his associates,
and demanding from the public implicit
obedience to the courts decisions and
DEGREES. His pronouncement was trans
lated by Captain Mendoza into Span
lsh. Chief Justice Echeverria, replying,
accepted the judicial Offices in the
name of the justices, formally recog-
nizing the United States as the supreme
power, and declaring that the bench
would render justice to rich and poor
alike. The proceedings terminated with
handshaking, after which General
Woods party was escorted to the en-
trance by the entire legal body.
The first session of the first purely
Cuban court was then opened. Among
Cubans the event is a matter for gem
eral congratulation.

AN AMBIGUOUS LAW.
Springfield Officials Also Have Trouble
With the Care of Streets.

Springfield, Dec. 2-The new law IN
der which street railway companies
are required to pay to cities and
towns a certain proportion of their re-
ceipts and are relieved of the care of
the streets, will be tested in this city.
Today the town of West Springfield

snow piled up by its plows.
The town authorities and railway Of
ficials refuse to remove the snow. The
same situation exists in nearly every

hearing in this city, may determine the
settlement of the trouble in all other
cities and towns. An effort will be
made to have the ambiguous law re-
pealed at the next session Of the leg

Miles replied, that after comforting
with Sampson, Cape San Juan was
considered the best place to land. He
suggested a combined naval movement
on Porto Rico, and asked to take with
him 500 marines. He was then at Pla-
"a. This last request was refused by
the secretary.
Miles succeeded in getting Sampson
to increase his naval convoy, and then
telegra phed. under date of St Thomas,
July 26, that circumstances We're such
that he had changed his plans and ia
ken the harbor OF Guanica. Secretary
Alger, however, asked on July &c, why
he plans had been changed Miles re-
olied, under date of the 30th, from
Ponce, that at first it had been intended
to select only a rendezvous at Port
Fajardo but that that intention had
become known, and the Spaniards had
been able to concentrate in the Vicin-
ity. Then Port F'ajardo was not a safe
harbor, and he was without the lighters
which he had expected to meet. August
., in a telegram relative TO supplies
General Miles recommended that the
manufacture Of Springfield rifles, As
calibre ammunition, all white canvas
tentage and black leather equipment
of every description be discontinued, as
they are obsolete, and should not be
part of the army equipment.
August 8 General Miles telegraphed
that he had been informed that naval
vessels at Ponce had been ordered
around to San Juan. In order that
there might be no conflict of authority,
he requested that no aggressive action
be taken against that place; that no
landings be made or communication
held with the Spanish officials or forces
on the island of Porto Rico by the navy.
That portion devoted to the tele-
graphic correspondence of the war
closed with few dispatches, indicat-
ing the finish of the Santiago cam
paign.
The rest of the document consists of
reports from various officers and Off
Gals of the secretary Of war some of
which are endorsed by the secretary.
