WASHINGTON. Aug. 10, 1Sss.-The
members of the Cabinet, except Secre-
taries Day and Long, who are out of
the city, were prompt in reaching the
White House today for the regular ses-
sion. Up to the tifne they met, at II
O'Clock, there was very little to disturb
the quiet routine there.
Archbishop ireland was one of the no
table visitors. He arrived about ten
o'clock and had conference with Presi-
dent Mckinley. He preserved his usual
reticence as to his mission It is under
stood, however. that the Archbishop is
empowered to make representations to
the administration looking to the protec-
tion of the interests of the Roman Catho-
lie Church in our new territorial access
sions, particularly in Porto Rico. Though
he did not affirm this when questioned,
it is significant that he attempted no
denial of it.
Senator Cannon, of Utah. also saw the
President today and had a talk regarding
the military plans. The President told
him. of his purpose to disband a portion
of the volunteer army He explained that
the troops to be mustered out would be
determined on the basis largely Of the
inclinations of the organization and the
condition of their equipments, Senator
Cannon has been comforting with the War
Department officials with a view of bring
ing together the two batteries of Utah
troops now at Manila. and the one battery
left at San Francisco.
The latter willsbe despatched to join the
others if ther is an opportunity. The
President was told that the. only colony
of native Hawaiians in the country was
located in Utah, and that proportionately
ther were more people in Utah who were
familiar with Hawaii than in any other
State a fact which was pressed as
basis for recognizing the State when
Hawaii comes in for more definite ad-
ministrative attention.
Final orders were sent today to Admiral
Sampson relative to the naval parade at
New York City tomorrow. The ships will
proceed to the anchorage at TompSinsville
and there await the arrival Of Mayor Van
Wyck and delegation of citizens who
are to go aboard the flagship and deliver
an address to Admiral Sampson and tho
men of his command.
This ceremony will occur before ten
o'clock Saturday morning, as the orders
contemplate start up the North River at
ten O'Clock Anticipating a pressure to
gain admission to the flagship during the
review. the orders are that no sone is to
be allowed aboard except on the express
direction of the President. The salute at
the tomb of General Grant will be the ma
tional salute of q guns.
Admiral sampson probably will come to
washington the early part of next week,
but no orders have been issued thus far
concerning his IiiOftliiSb - 1 = - eNt'N'e-
stood that he will continue in command
Of the North Atlantic fleet while serving
as a member of the military commission
at Havana. Being thus in command Of
the fleet, he viii be enabled to select
flagship and proceed thereon to Havana,
although it is more likely that the Com
migsioners will proceed together on a
warship. probably the Dolphin. In that
event the Dolphin would be the Admiral's
flagship temporarily
A high naval official said today that
Admiral Luce at one time made a steam
launch his flagship and in this way came
from New York to Washington. # the
Commissioners do not proceed in body,
Admirals Sampson and schley may take
their respective flagships TO Havana and
