The Day in Washington.

Washington, March 21.-Pres: dent
Mckinley did not attend church Sun
day morning, Is is his custom, bt't in
stead spent two hours and more in con-
ference with several members of the
cabinet. Assistent Secretary Day called
about 1880 o'clock, and remained I'M
til nearly one. Secretary Long and Sec
rotary Bliss were the other mem uers
present. They remained less than an
hour. Commander Glover, in company
with Mr.. Flint. who has been acting for
the government in the negotia tons for
the purchase of ships, also called and
were shown into the presidents private
office. The members of the cabinet
on leaving the white house SAID there
was no special significance in the meet
ing. The report of the Maine court of
inquiry had not been received, nor was
II definitely known when it would reach
here. 1t was expected, however, early
in the present week, and as soon as re-
ce.ved it would be handed at once to
The presidents; and when it had been
real and considered by the president il
would be made public. Secretary Long

1t is not the desire of the president 20
precipitate action by congress pending
diplomatic negotiations, and his mes
sage will show that he is dealing with
the matter in Il vigorous diplomatic
way, and will promptly communicate
further rs soon as SPANS reply is re-
ceived. If the reply is not satisfactory,
congress will be in position to share
the responsibility for any further ac-
ton necessary. 1t is the expectation of
the administration that Spain, in reply
to the presidents representation, will
forward the report of the Spanish court
of inquiry, which will find that the YES
sci was destroyed by an internal cause,
due to the negligence of one of the Off
GERS or members of the crew. Then will
come diplomatic clash.
Much Depends on Congress-.
1t is surmised that Spain will suggest
arbitration, and the authorities are al
ready discussing how they will meet the
proposition. The conservative MEM
bers of the cabinet will be inclined to
recommend its adoption. but much de-
ponds upon the temper Of congress. The
Maine disaster will at first be treated
independently of the general Cuban
question, but it will be considered as
kindred subject in connection with the
future action looking to the ending of
the war in Cuba.
Just at present the authorities are
feeling the pulse of foreign countries
as to what would follow the action of
the United States in recognizing the in
dependence Of Cuba in case that step
should be taken. 1t is believed that if
the president can receive the assurances
of Great Britain and the South Aneri-
can countries that they would join in
such recognition he will act in this di-
rection Immediately.

necessary, for it's consideration. The
indications seem to be that the report
will be made public by the middle of the

ter has filed his decision in the Stark
County case which was submitted to him

ment by Attorney Simpson for the
| county The law is held by the Judge to
be constitutional, the decision being In
favor of the county. The case will be

originated in Texas, where Samuel
Maverick owned an extensive range.
