CABINET MET
Special Session Called by the Cab.
met to Discuss Various
Matters.
Among the More Important Was
the Prospective Civil serv-
ice Order.
Disposition on the Part of the
Cabinet to Criticize Its Pres
ent Administration.
Consolidation of Administrative
Departments in Cuba De-
cided Upon.

WASHINGTON, March 80. AT the spe-
cial cabinet meeting variety of SUBJ
jects were considered, including num-
ber of questions which have arisen dur
ing the two weeks of the presidents
absence in the South. The administra-
tion of affairs in Cuba came up and it
was practically decided to simplify mat
ters by consolidating some Of the ad-
ministrative departments. The ques-
tion of amending the civil service rules
and regulations in certain particulars
was under consideration, and the presi-
dent stated that he desired to dispose of
the matter at an early day. Almost the
last thing the president did before leav-
ing for the South was to return to the
members of the cabinet their several
recommendations on the subject with a
request that they again go over them
with view to making any changes
which might suggest themselves dur
ing his absence. The president
has asked that he be furnished
with their conclusions in the matter
as soon as possible, and it is supposed
that it is his purpose to issue his orders
within few days. It was again DEM
onstrated at this meeting of the cabinet
that while strongly upholding the prin-
ciples of the civil service law, there is a
disposition on the part of several men,
bers to criticize its present administra-
ton. The subject Of the appointment
Of commissioners to represent the
United States at the forthcoming con-
vention called by the czar of Russia,
with view to promoting peace among
the nations was advanced by the presi-
dent. It is understood that three am
bassadors of the United States at Euro
pean courts will be named, together
with two or three citizens Of the United
States not in the diplomatic service. The
personnel Of the commission has not yet
been definitely decided. The new
Nicaraguan canal commission which
was provided for in the last river and
harbor bill also was discussed, and it ie
not unlikely that the members will be
named very soon. The question Of rails
ing an additional force of volunteers tc
go to the Philippines was not mentioned
at the meeting, and it is not thought
that the president has any such purpose
in view at this time. Postmaster Gen
eral Emory Smith, who has just re-
turned from Cuba, told of his observa-
tiohs there and it was upon his sugges-
tion that several Of the Cuban admins.
trative departments will be consol-
idated.

Filipino Insurgent Capital Now ut San
Fernando.
NEW YORK, March 30. "A dispatch to
The Herald from Manila says the insur-
gent capital has been moved from Malo-
los to San Fernando.
When General MacArthur's force en-
camped for the night the Third artillery
was across the railroad bridge in Mar
ilao and the Nebraska regiment was in
the woods on the extreme right. The
other troops had not gone across the
river. At $3.50 the insurgents appeared
on the edge of the woods mile and a
half off. They deployed in skirmish
line mile long and advanced quickly,
swinging to the left to drive the Third
artillery from the bridge. This was the
FIRST time in the present war that the
insurgents had advanced in military
order against our troops. The Kansas
volunteers promptly crossed the bridge
in columns of fours to give support to
the Third artillery. They lost two men
killed and some wounded in their ad-
vance.
Montana Boys Take Hand.
At the same time the First Montana
regiment crossed the river on a pontoon
bridge and took position on the extreme
left, so as to be able to cut in back of
the insurgents if the latter came far
enough. They lost six men wounded in
this movement, while the Third artil-
lery had two sergeants and one man
killed and two wounded.
Masked by the woods the Nebraska
volunteers were not seen by the enemy.
They suddenly opened a flank fire on
the insurgent line and left their trenches
with great shout.
At the sight of, them, the whole in
surgent force-offcers and men-aed
pellmell. The eager Nebraska mer
chased them mile and a half, but were
finally drawn back by General Mac
Arthur to preserve the line intact.
The insurgents burned Bulacan Tues
day afternoon.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-The stock market
participated In sharp advance in prices
at the opening Of business, with the trad
Ing In exceptionally large volume. The
movement was clearly a continuation OF
the general rise that set in after the pub
lication Of the bank statement on Satur-
day. The showing made by the banks was
assumed to indicate much easier conditions
in the monetary situation, and hence was
accorded the first position in general dis
cussion. Another encouraging feature at
the opening was the very pronounced
strength of the London market, which was
shown at advances in which American
stocks were conspicuous. Foreign houses
had buying orders in this market, but the
rapidity Of the early advances prevented
the execution Of many Of them.
In view OF the fairly uniform market
movements. the early trading was some
what featureless. All OF the middle grade
stocks continued conspicuous. Brooklyn
Rapid Transit opened at an advance of
about one point and after a reaction de-
veloped fresh strength. The granger stocks,
with st. Paul and Burlington among the
main features, were also notably strong.
New York Central was comparatively neg
lected, but Pennsylvania was strong.
The dealings in the Industrial quarter
was also active and a somewhat firmer
tone was noted there than has existed for
sometime. The Leather stocks were again
the leaders In respect OF advance and ac-
tivity.

The Steamer In Lorraine Launched
mt st. Naznire.

The largest French steamship afloat is
expected to appear in New York harbor
early next spring. She is La Lorraine, re-
Gently launched at St. Nazaire, having been
built for the General Trans Atlantic Line

Mr.. Sankey, the United States consular
agent at st. Nazaire, thus describes the
vessel: La Lorraine is the largest French
merchant steamer afioat: total length 5is.s
feet; breadth, 59.7 feet; depth to keel, 39.4
feet. The ship was built under the direc-
tion of the bureau veritas and is of
steel with the upper parts Of especially
hard steel to secure rigidity.
There are FIVE decks and a promenade
deck 32S feet long for the first and second
class passengers. There are fifteen water
tight bulkheads, a longitudinal bulkhead
between the two engines, and double bot
tom ballast tank of a capacity Of 1,100 Gu
bic metres (3s,S42 cubic feet). The force
OF her engines will be $4,000 horsepower.
The ship is expected to steam twenty-five
knots. In the event of war il will be
used by the French Government as an aux
iliary cruiser and would be armed with
nine guns (six quick-firing) of 5.4 inches
and eight cannon revolvers. The keel OF
the boat was laid in July, 1898, and the
cost is estimated at s2316, 600. The ship
is expected to be ready for service April /,

To Prevent Collisions.

An invention by Frenchman to proven.
Tsurgee, of Bordeaux, in a communication
to the State Department. 1T is, in effect,
he says, "a simple and natural application
of the block SYSTEM but, instead of merely
displaying signal at each end of sec
tion of track showing that the same is occu-
pied, NJ. Guibert's system acts also on the
engines of the approaching locomotives and
by cutting off steam automatically, brings
the train to standstill. AS preventive
of head-on collisions this invention would
seem positive improvement on the bloch
system though it is quite possible thai
the increased cost of installation may pre-.
vent its general adoption"

two hours the fremont Street cars were DETECTED
from the subway on account of the parade, that
underground channel was kept filed all day
