Open Hostilities Are Expected In the Next
Few Days.
Washington, April s.-The cabinet
meeting to-day was uneventful. No
kilograms Of any importance had been
received since yesterday from Minister
Woodford or Consul General Lee and
there was said to be no reason to ex-
pect any in the near future. The ses-
sion was devoted entirely to a general
discussion of affairs, but no conclusion
was reached on any point. The situa-
ton can be stated. on the authority OF
a number of the cabinet officers TO be
unchanged since yesterday. There are
no new developments and as evidence
that none are looked for before Mon
day at least. II is stated that Attorney
General Grigg will leave for his home
In New Jersey at o'clock this after
noon to remain until Sunday evening
During the cabinet meeting an asso-
ciated press telegram was handed to
the president stating in effect that all
cipher kilograms hereafter sent out Of
Havana must first be translated in the
presence of the press censor. IL was
interpreted as applying to government
as well as other messages. This infor-
nation was received with expressions
Of Indignation. but as General Lee
leaves Havana tomorrow the order
seems to have come too late to be OF
much service to the Spaniards or much
annoyance to this government.
There is now no difference of opinion
among members Of the cabinet on the
question OF the final issue Of the pres
ent complications. All agree that war
apparently is unavoidable. At to-day's
cabinet meeting the question Of what
course this government would pursue
in case OF a surrender on the part Of
Spain was not discussed. Events have
moved forward rapidly within the last
few days and other questions than
those involving war have been passed
over. The issue has been made up and
present indications. IL was stated, point
only to open hostilities within the next
few days

ONE MAN KILLED.

Coast.

KEY WEST, August 11.-Emanuel
Kourlouris. coal passer on the gun
boat Bancroft, was killed during
sharp engagement with the Spanish
riflemen at point of land jutting in
Curtis Bay. on the south coast of Pinar
del Rio, August 2. The Spanish loss
was undoubtedly severe. The Bancroft
was cruising about Cortis Bay, on
blockade duty, when q sail was seen
close to land about ten miles to
the nerthward. The gunboat's steam
launch, armed with q one-pounder, and
Lieut.. Henry B. Wilson, with fourteen
men, all carrying rifles, were sent to
intercept the stranger. She turned out
to be Spanish schooner.
BY tho time the steam launch reached
that point, the schooner had worked
into the port and a party of Spaniards,
including body of soldiers, was at
tempting to haul her ashore. The
launch stood boldly in and a brisk FIRE
from her one-pounder speedily scattered
the crowd. The Spaniards took refuge
in the high grass, but in spite of the
fact that the party In the launch was
ignerant of the enemy's strength. the
Americans went ahead with the work
with admirable GOODNESS. James Nun
roe, firstclass apprentice, swan to the
schooner and made the line fast to her
in order to pull her ont. At the same
time Valdemar Hohengreen, an ordi-
nary seaman. dropped over the side OF
the launch and made for the pier, where
a small sloop-rigged boat was moored
The launch then commenced to haul
off the schooner, but the line parted
and while another was being run tt
her, the Spaniards, who had sought
shelter in the woods, poured in muir
derous rifle fire, i,

and the one pounder was opened on th'

that the Spaniards were routed withou
