MEETING AL w ASdl-N01O~>'
Washington, August 5.-The cabinet
convened in regular session promptly
at II O'Clock to-day. Some special Sig
nificance was attached to the presence
at the session of the naval board OF
strategy. Rear Admiral Slcard, COM
mander Crowninshield and Capt. Ma
han, who came over together, closely
following Secretary Long, who was the
first to join the President. Commander
Crowninshield later returned to the
navy department. evidently to secure
additional papers for the consideration
of the cabinet. The definite and long
expected answer of Spain to this gov
ernment's terms had not been commu-
nicated, though it had been expected
that this session of the cabinet might
have the opportunity of considering the
formal Spanish note of acceptance.
Secretary of State Day in entering the
cabinet room put at rest all reports

by saving that the answer of Spain had
not reached this government. Cues

Madrid that the reply would not lie
transmitted until early next week, Sec
retarv Day said he knew nothing Of the
plans for communicating the reply and
had had no understanding as to when 1t
would be made known to this govern

m, having approved it.
The Government will wire NJ. Camhon
tonight empowering him to sign the

1870 D. m.-The day has been diplo-
maticalIy one of the busiest since the out
break of the war. There have been nc
fewer than three Cabinet councils, IN
addition to various diplomatic confer
ences.
Though the text of the protocol was
not received until the evening was well
advanced, the Government had been
fully acquainted with its contents
through Paris.
The matter was practically settled
as already cabIed, at the Cabinet meet
inc this afternoon, and the receipt OF
the actual document, therefore, only
required a meeting of the Cabinet fol
formal acceptance.
Ministers adhere to the statement tha
the protocol contains no mobilization o

THE Spanish CABINET
APPROVES PROTOCOL
And the Government Will Wire NJ Cabon, its Pknipoentay
at Washington Empowering Him to Sign Premnars OF Peace

the French Ambassador would receive
instructions to sign it was very gratify-
ing to the Administration, but it was
expected that such would be the course
of the Spanish Government. 1t is CON
fidcntly expected that the signatures will
be affixed to this document tomorrow
and Immediately thereafter both Coy
crnments will begin carrying out its pro-
visions. The first will be the cessation
of hostilities followed Immediately by the
occupation of Manila by General Mcr-
rift and the United States troops under
his command. the occupation of San
Juan in Porto Rico by General Miles
and the evacuation of that island by the
Spanish forces. 1t is believed that there
will be delay in the evacuation of Ha-
vana, Matanzas and other Spanish
strongholds in Cuba as some difficulties
are anticipated in arranging for a proper
form of government of Cuba and because
there is no desire to hurry American
troops into the island at the present
time. the preference being to wait for
cooler weather.
The near approach to the signing of
the protocol has required the discus
sion of the personnel of the peace com
mission There is good authority for the
statement that Secretary Day will be
at the head of the commission and that
two United States Senators will be
members of it, Senator Allen,so of Iowa.
and Senator German, of Maryland, have
been prominently mentioned for places
on the commission and it is known that
they have been under consideration by
the President.
1t is not believed by members of the
Administration that the commission can
complete its work in time 70 cause an
extra session of Congress TO consider
legislation which the treaty viii neccssi-
tate. although there is II prospect that
an extra session of the Senate might
be called in November to consider the
treaty of peace.
Up TO the hour of midnight the Pres
ident had received no official communi-
cation as to the action of the Spanish
Government, but it was stated by those
who saw him tv-night that he was
very expectant that this was the last
day of the war.
The French Embassy has as yet re-
ceived no communication from Madrid
authorizing NJ. Cambon to sign the
protocol. but the Secretaries of the En-
bassy left orders on retiring to be
called if any message was received,

WAITING ON MADRID.
Naval Board Desire the Surrender of
Important Strategic Points.


Washington, ID. c., August 1.-THE
interest in Government circles centered
to-day in the press dispatches from Mad
rid as the first news of the decision
of the Spanish Government would he
made pubic there and there was no
likelihood Of anything being known ofh-
cially in Washington during the day rs
to Spain's decision respecting signatures
to the peace protocol. After the close
of office hours Secretary Day drove over
to the White House and had half an
hours conference with the President. lie
stated that no further word had been
received from Ambassador Cambon, bhl
admitted that he expected Il call from
that gentleman tomorrow.
Certain members Of the CaDlhet eA-
pressed the opinion that the President
would have some news tor that bod!
when it meets tomorrow. when was
construed into an intimation that tne
Ambassadors call probably would be
made in the morning. Officials show no
loss of confidence in their original opin-
ion that the Spanish Government will
authorize Nj. Cambon to sign the pro
tocol Just as it was transmitted from
Washington to Madrid last evening. The
Naval War Board led by Acting Secre-
tary Allen, called on Judge Day mt about
noon. 1t is believed their purpose was
to impress upon the Secretary the impor
tance of making the surrender of impor
tant strategic points at the entrance OF
harbors, such as Moro Castle at Hava

LOWELL OPPOSED.

Lowell. Mass, Feb. 15.-From present
Indications the recommendation Of the
conference committee which met at Bos-
ton Sunday advocating a general strike
in the cotton mills OF New England
promises to fall fiat in this city, as the
sentiment here is uncompromisingly
against a strike at the present time.
1t seems TO be the sentiment among the
operatives that the fight should be con-
tinued at New Bedford and concentrated
there.

However, the feeling is such that a very

union, the recommendation OF the con-
ference committee was entirely ignored,

they would welcome general shut

AN INDEPENDENT PROPOSAL

New Bedford, Mass, Feb. 1.-THE
proposition >as been under consideration
by the local labor leaders for several
days 10 call out on strike the employees
OF all the yarn mills in the city, which
would bring into idleness 6000 additional
operatives, or total of l6. 900. This idea
Is independent of that for a general
strike all through New England, and the
Meet OF the movement, il is claimed,
Tould be such a serious menace To local
anks that IL would result in osertures
or a settlement OF the difficulties by the
manufacturers. whose interests are al
lied with those OF the city's financial in
stitutions. II is argued that IL the OPP
eratives lose the present strike through
the weavers inability To hold out, the
spinners in the yarn mills, who have not
thus far been out. would receive notice
OF a reduction in pay, and the proposition
.-under consideration is intended TO pre-
vent that. The Spinners' union will
probably act upon this matter at its
meeting this evening.
1t Is realized by some OF the operatives
that the support to the New Bedford
strikers from outside has not been st all
commensurate with their needs, and
there is no likelihood under present con-
ditions of a change for the better in this
direction. With these, the idea of such
a stroke as "A general strike carries con-
siderable weight. and they are inclined
TO favor 1t. The mill managers are non

their course since the beginning of the

there is no trouble. There are two reas-

Bedford. In several cities last night
