SPECIAL CABINET MEETING.
Informal Counter-Proposals From tn
Spaniards Rejected.

Washington, Nov. pa special meet
ing of the Cabinet was held at 10 o'clock
tonight. All the members were with
the President, except Secretary Long,
who is out of the city.
The meeting was called by the Presi-
dent in order that his advisers might
consider with him advices received this
evening from the American peace com
missioners at Paris. 1t is understood
that the adviccs related to counter pro
posaIs informally made to the American
commissioners by the representatives on
the commission of the Madrid Govern
ment.
At the conclusion of the meeting,
which lasted only forty minutes, and
was held in the parlors of the White
House, Secretary of State Hay, said
to a representative of the Associated
Press that the President had received
some advices from Paris that he desired
to lay before the Cabinet, and that he
had called the members together to con-
slider them, The nature of the advices,
Mr.. Hay declined to discuss, as, he
said that was a matter which could not
be gone into for publication at this
time. He added, however, that after
considering the contents of the dis
patches, the President had cabled the
American commissioners reiteratfng his
former instructions.
1t is understood that one point, new in
the negotiations thus far, was raised in
the dispatches received by the President.
1t related to Il modification of the terms
of the proposition submitted to the
Spanish commissioners few days ago
by the American commissioners, but III
just what particulars the proposed
modification was to be made could not
be ascertained. That the proposition
was not accepted was made clear by the
President III cabling to the American
commissioners reiteration OF his
former instructions. The American
commissioners will insist that the de-
mands of the United States as presented
to Spain few days ago be considered
without further modification. That they
will be acceded to by the Spanish COM
missioners is the earnest belief of the
members of the Cabinet and the Presi-
dent

sANTIOAGO'S NEW MAYOR.
He is Cuban Appointed by General
Wood.

Santiago dc Cuba. November %
Some time ago Major McLeary, whom
General Leonard Wood had been APP
pointed mayor Of Santiago, requested to
be relieved of his mayOralty duties and
to return to his military post. This re-
quest was granted to-day.
In the opinion of General Wood it is
preferable to apopint to the mayOralty a
civilian acceptable to the Cubans, and
he has appointed as mayor Major Nc
Leary'S successor Senor Bacardi. an old
resident. He is anxious to give the may
o ras much authority as is compatible
with military jurisdiction. The new
mayor will conform to General Woods
ideas, which are to give the Cubans
every opportunity to show themselves ca
pable of self-government.
Major McLeary, as a military mayor
gave entire satisfaction to all classes He
has now been aSsinged to the duties or
inspector general of the Province and
will shortly take a tour, including Hol-
guin, Libara, BaracOa, Sagua de Tanamo
and other points, making reports to Gen
eral Wood.
The first official act of Mayor Bacardi
was to discharge the entire clerical force
in q mayors office and to employ Gu
bans who had served in the war. He
will shortly issue a manifesto to the ef-
feet that he intends encouraging the
city's development and giving employ
ment as far as conditions will permit to
worthy persons. General Wood has high
hopes of this first attempt at civil govern
ment under Cuban control
General Wood has given his approval
to n scheme for a school for the higher
education of women similar to the Amer
ican normal school.
To-day he issued notice imposing
a fine of $1,000 upon any person promor-
| ing a bull fight and a fine of $50 upon
any promoter of cock fight In the
case of a cock fight the fine will fall
upon witnesses as well as promoters.
The rural police have been instructed
to keep a special lookout along the tele-
graph line between Santiago and San
Luis, as the peasant farmers are still
cutting the wire and using It to bale hay
and cope stone.
The civil administration of the Pro
vince is now virtually complete. The ap-
pointment of Supreme court judges will
be made tomorrow and as the local bar
association has put forward several
names. General Wood will probably Sc
lect from among these men.

FOOD FOR THE CUBANS.
General Wood Helps Them 10 Return
10 Their Farms.

Washington, Noy. 25.--General Leon
ard Wood, commander of the Depart
ment of Santiago, has sent an official
report to the War Department of which
the following is an extract:
Il have sent rations all along the sea
coast and by pack trains over into the
interior, using every effort TO scatter the
rations about in such manner as TO en-
able the people desiring to return to their
farms i'll the Iintcrior to do SO, with rea-
sonable assurance that they can obtain
food, while waiting the development of
their first crop. Santiago to-day is as
clean and healthy as any town of its size

Fortress Monroe. Excellent order pre-

ITALY MOVING ON COLOMBIA.
The Cerruti Award-Uncle Sam Try
Ing 10 Avoid Crisis

WASHINGTON. July i3.-Hhe State De-

Italian Government has determined TO
adopt force in securing the payment bv
the Republic Of Colombia OF the arbitra-
ton award made by President Cleveland
in favor of Ernesto Cerruti. an Italian
citizen. amounting 10 $4,000. To this end
the Italian Government has summarily
closed diplomatic negotiations with the
Colombian Minister at Rome and has no.
titled Admiral Candani to proceed with
the Italian squadron to Cartagena, Colom-
bia, and there adopt forcible means TO
collect the amount.
A dispatch from Caracas, Venezuela.
announces that the Italian squadron un-
der Admiral Candiani left Ia Guayra on
Monday for Cartagena, in order to seize
the custom-house there
In view Of the serious possibilities in
volved In the case, the United States Gov
eminent has sought to avert an imme-
date crisis. On the request OF the Co.
lombian authorities that the good offices
of the United States be exercised word
was sent TO our charge d'aaaires at Rome
to make enquiry into the status or the
case. There appears TO be no disposition
on the part OF our government TO inter-
fere in such steps as Italy may take for
the execution Of the award, as the United
States are precuded from protesting
against an award made by this govern
ment. At the same time, IL is hoped that
sufficient time will be given the South
American republic to pay the award with
out suffering the indignity or the seizure
of her chief source Of revenue.

Il arrived here on July 18th. Admiral
Dewey and General Anderson received

fine-looking body of men, but the discip-
line IS easy, and not at all comparable

from heat should field operations be ne
cessary for the capture Of Manila.
There are about l60 cases In the hos

eating fruit or drinking unfiltered wate-.

the American forces.
MANIIAA'S CONDITION TERRIBLE.
THE condition Of Manila is said 70 be
terrible. 1t Is hoped the town Will sur
render without necesJtating a lombard
ment. but the Spanish authorities are OBJ
stinate. and a capituation is not likely.

pected here by July Goth.

been particularly humane and lenient.
has now declared a complete blockade.

steamer Esmeralda, which wished to take
