women are peculiarly in need Of q

families now use it, and many wives
give 1t to their husbands when they

A Special Messenger Conveyed Some Important News From Secretary
 Hay---ActiOD Demanded.
BELIEVED TO BEAR
 ON PEACE NEGOTIATIONS,
Nothing Definite Could Be Obtained, but as the Messenger Used q Spe. cial Train, Ii Is Considered
 Important.

Philadelphia, Oct 27--Immediately after the reception to the president at the Union league last night a meeting of the chief executive and cabinet off eers, who are in attendance with him at the peace jubilee, was held at the Hotel Bellevue. Those present besides the president were Postmaster General Smith, Secretary of War Alger, Score. tary Wilson and Solicitor General Rich ards, in place of Attorney General Griggs. The utmost secrecy attended the proceedings and 1t was impossible to learn for what purpose the meeting was called or what subjects were discussed. From an unofficial, though ordinarily reliable source, it was gIeaned that J. c. Kellogg, private secretary to Secretary Hay, reached here at 10 o'clock last night bearing important dispatches from the state department. Neither .Secret2- " Porter nor any of the cabinet ofiees5 could be seen after the meeting nad ended and no information from otter sources could be obtained. The meeting lasted nearly an hour and was held in the presidents room in the hotel. Local detectives prevented any one from ap- preaching the vicinity After the presi- dent and the cabinet had concluded their deliberations Mir. Kellogg left immedi- ately for Washington in a special ear.
 While it Is impossible to find out on just what grounds this extra session of the cabinet was held, 1t is believed 1t has connection with the negotiations of peace at Paris and that the American peace commi- i-sion has sent some import- ant Information as to yesterdays s pro ceedHgs.

 General Butler has written Secretary Alger indorsing the modified form of military plan of policing the island re- gently advanced by Colonel Waring. General Butler said 1t would give em- ployment to 10, GOO or I5,0O0 insurgents. He would follow the General Way sys- tenn which was originated in Mexico by President Diaz. General Butler in giy- ing his plan, warns Secretary Alger that unless some show of strength is made the United States will surely have to fight the insurgents, who will become bandits

IUgeeRIp Grapbtc,
CUBANS ANXIOUS
 FOR POSSESSION,
They Want the United States to Turn the Island Over to Them at
 an Early Date.

Santiago, Oct. 27.-Major Petit, in command of the United States troops at Manzanillo, and military governor of the city, telegraphed that the Cuban general Rios, offers armed men to assist the Americans in preserving order, merely asking rations in return. Gen. Wood sent the following reply: l Certainly not. The only conditions on which rations are to be issued are the complete disarmament and disbandi- ment of the troops"
 Some of the Gubans here consider that the United States is treating it's allies badly in not allowing the Cuban forces to remain armed. They contend that the Cuban soldiers who have been fight ing three years and who speak the Ian guage of the country, are better fitted for garrison duty than 'funtrained vol unteers
 The Cuban general, Macia Rodriguez, virtually voices the sentiment of the Cuban army when he saysi 'We thank the United States for the assistance 1t has given us. But the time has now arrived when the Cubans should be placed in the highest office and should prepare to take over the island on the departure of the Spanish. 9
 Cuban extremists here are jubiIant at the reported attitude of the Cuban as- sembly at Santa Cruz de Sur where the delegates. while expressing their grati- tude to the Americans, practically de- mand 6 distinctive Cuban government. The Cuban moderates, on the other hand, regret this stand, thinking it best that the United States authorities should have charge of affairs for a year at least, so as to set things generally and to prevent any complications with for eign governments.
 Those who advocate annexation to the United States are extremely anxious as to the outcome. 4 prominent Cuban now employed under our government who is q moderate and well able to judge of the feeling in Santiago says tAese three paftl6S tEe we'll 0enheu anu would poll about equally but that in the event ot the extremists endeavoring 10 force an issue a majority Of moderates would join the anuezationists.
 The foreign consuIs are considering the advisability of appealing to the powers to prevent a too nasty recogni- tion of the Cuban government
 General Wood is fully resolved to al- low no more paupers= to land here, es- peeially no more from the West Iudies, a class entirely unwilling to do hard work. One schooner from Jamaica and one from Hayti loaded with negro emil grants have been ordered to return with their passengers to ports of embarka- tion.

SPAIN BECOMING
 MORE DESPERATE E.
Peace Commissions still Hung Up Oyer the Disposition of the Cuban
 Debt Question,

Paris, Oct. 25.-zNotAing was accom- plisaed e tAe j 1int session of the peace commission here yesterday.
 The discussion was over the disposi. ton of the Cuban debt and when the American commissi on positively affirm cd for the third time thatnone of the debt would be assumed or guarauted by the United States, 1t is said a rupture almost occurred, however, the Spanish finally agreed to give final answer on this point today.
 Under the existing state of affairs it would surprise no one here if peace ne- gotiations would come to an abrupt end before the Philippine question is ever reached.
 The Spanish are becoming more ob- durate and are disposed to delay pro- ceedings, the principal play is to excite the sympathy of the powers and possibly get some European country to beg leni- ency for Spain rather than have Spain to dc it.
