Remarks of a Cabinet Member.


Washington, March 12.-Most of the
time of yesterdays cabinet meeting was
taken up in the discussion Of measures
which have been put into operation for
the acquisition of naval vessels by the
government. A cabinet member said
that the government could probably get
five or six vessels. Most of the $780,
100000, however, would be spent in this
country. In reply to a question he said:
"Yes, think the sympathy of the Brit
ish government in this controversy is
with the United States. At any rate
she does not side with Spain. do not
mean by this statement to have you
infer that the Englishmen will openly
advocate our cause and extend us sub
stantial help, but will give US their
moral support"
