MEETING OF THE CABINET.
The Proclamation to the Filipinos
the Chief Subject Considered

the Chief Subject Considercd.
At the Cabinet meeting yesterday Secre-
taries Gage. Alger. and Long were absent,
and as consequence the Treasury. War.
and Navy Departments were not represent
ed. The session lasted for near.y two
hours. most of which time was consumed
IN discussing the proclamation promul-
gated by the Philippine Commission.
This proclamation. printed elsewhere in
The Times, was drafted by Chairman
Schurman and signed by his Colleagues
after careful study of the situation. B.
fore the Commission left the Unit Ssatcs
the different members were acGua nted in
n confidential manner by the President rs
to what would be the Administrations roll
icy toward the islands. The findings as to
the conditions in the islands. included in
the proclamation. are said to be the re ults
OF the individual observance of the differ
ent members. But wherein it outlines the
policy to be pursued. it Is authoritatiyely
stated, the Commission is but bsarirg out
the private instructions given it by he
President
1t is the general expression OF the Cabi-
net that in the light Of the information re-
ceived from the Commission, the acticr of
the American Government in the Philip
pine Islands has been perfeet'y iustiliab.e e.
and the war should be pushed to a hurried
conclusion in order that the Amer can SUI
premacy may be fully established through
out the various islands.
II is the intention OF the Philippine Com
mission to transmit the proclamation to the
different capitals OF the various islands in
order that 1t may be circulated among the
natives. 1t is hoped that by this means il
will eventually reach the Filipinos living
in the rural districts and perhaps invade
the forces OF Aguinaldo. The prevailing
opinion of the Cabinet officers Is that the
rebels under Aguinaldo are about ready to
give up. 1t is regarded as an established
fact that the insurgents have lost conf
dence in their leader by the revealment OF
his Misrepresentation regarding the nature
Of the American people and his reported
victories over them. While 1t cannot be ex-
pected that the proclamation just issued
will Immediately serve TO convince the Fill
ipinos of the Intention OF the United States
in reference to its government Of the ISL
ands, it is believed that it will ultimately
bear fruit.

THE COLON HOPELESS.
She Lies on the Surf Line and Cam
not He Approached.

The Neptune Wrecking Company, a
Swedish corporation which attempted 10
raise the vessels of Cervera's fleet, sunk
near Santiago, has reported that its
divers find the Colon is lying on the surf
line and cannot be approached except on
exceptionally calm days. The Vizcaya
may be iloated, the company says, but it
would not be sufficiently valuable to war
rant the expenditure of the money which
would be required. She is not a modern
cruiser.
The Neptune Company has withdrawn
its proposition to raise the Spanish ships,
but another company is considering what
may be done, and were an appropriation
at hand to pay for the work it would give
a guarantee OF S1O00.OO0 for the sue
cessful floating of all of Ceryera's vessels
now under water.

Reported Case Of Smallpox.

During the past ten days many
people have been much agitated be-
cause Of the existence of a reported
ase Of smallpox at the county hos
pital. After an interview with
County Physician Stone we r glad
to be able to state that no fears OF
contagion need be entertained, for
not only Is the patient convalescing,
but he is kept in rigid quarantine, as
well as two Others who had been
thrown in contact with him.
1t appears that about three weeks
ago the man, whose name Is James
Worden, came from Great Falls with
the younger son of X. w. Noble.
Even before leaving Great Falls he
had not felt well, but shortly after
reaching Lewistown he took a job
driving team for Alderman Corcoran
and continued at this work nine
days. Last week Monday, sores
having broken out ON his face and
hands. he was taken To the hospital
and placed in IA tent away from
other patients and NJ one allowed
To zee him save the county physician
consulting ply stefan Atchison and
Mr.. Medigar, the latter of whom
handed the man his meals under
careful restrictions. DIR. Stone never
had a case Of smallpox in his prac,
tice, but DR.. Atchison il quite famil
lar with the disease and agreed with
DR.. Stone in pronouncing 1t vario
loid, which Is smallpox Of a milo
tyre. The patient has steadily i'm
proved and Is now i'm a fair way to
recovery. DR.. Stone says that, ex
cepting Mr.. Noble and another man
both Of whom are under strict quar-
antine, he does not think that an.
one has been at all exposed anS
trusts that there will be no unneces
sary anxiety about the matter.
The Great Falls Tribune Of Thurs
day last contained an article to TIL
effect that the supposed eases o
smallpox which existed in Grea.
Falls, had been pronounced by 1
consultation Of ten prominent physi
clans To be very malignant forms o
