Washington, March eat the cabinet
meeting to-day. which lasted until
o'clock a variety of subjects, including
a number of questions which have arisen
a 'e the two weeks of the Presidents
absence in the South.
The administration of affairs in Cuba
came up and it was practically decided
to simplify matters by consolidating some
of the administrative departments, but
just what changes will be made is as yet
undetermined.
The question of amending the civil SER
vice rules and regulations In certain lines
of particulars was under consideration,
and the President stated that he desired to
dispose of The matter at an early day.
Almost the last thing the President did
before leaving for the South was TO re-
turn TO the members of the cabinet their
several recommendations ON the subject
them with a view TO making any changes
which suggest themselves during his alb
sence. To-day the President asked that
he be furnished with their conclusions in
the matter as soon as possible, and it Is
expected that 1t is his purpose to issue
his order within a few days.
Il was again demonstrated at to-day's
meeting of the cabinet that while strong
ly upholding the principles of the civil SER
de-
of several members to criticse its present
administration.
Cars Peace Conference.
The subject of the appointment Of COM
missioners to represent the United States
at the forthcoming convention called by
the Czar of Russia with a view to pro-
noting peace among the nations was ad-
vanced by the President. 1t is understood
that three ambassadors of the United
States at European courts will be named
together with two or three citizens of the
United States not in the diplomatic SER
vice. The personnel of the commission has
not been definitely decided.
The new Ncaraguan canal commission,
which was provided for in the last river
and haTbor bill, also was discussed and
it is not likely that the members will be
named very soon.
The question of raising an additional
force of volunteers to go to the Philip
pines was not mentioned at the meeting.
and ID is not thought that the President
has any such purpose In view at this
time.
Some attention was paid to the campaign
of the troops In the Philippines and the ad-
ministration is confident Of the capture of
Malolos, the insurgent capital in a few
days.
The arrival here of delegates from the
Cuban assembly was touched upon and
the discussion brought out reiteration of
the conclusion to pay no attention to their
demands. it is felt that the assembly dele
gates represent disturbing element and
under no circumstances would they be
formally received by this government.

DR.. Won Holleben. TO present a note en-

naval commander had no right TO act save
in executing the will of the three con-

a majority. But aside from this argument.
the German note intimated quite plainly
that Germany would hold the other gov
ernments responsible if serious trouble re-
suited from the action of the
naval authorities in Samoa. The strained
conditions caused by this note were some
what allayed by the answer of the state
department, which was friendly and reas-
surlng, although it made plain that the
American naval commander would act in
an emergency, even though the consuls
We're not unanimous in requesting action.
1t is just such an emergency that has
now occurred in Samoa.
There is no apprehension here that an
actual clash will occur with the German
civil or naval forces in Samoa This is
due mainly to the official understanding
that Germany has given positive orders
TO the commander of the German warship
Fake to refrain from any active move.

A Bank Which Will Control Venezue-
Ian Finances.

New York, Nov. 17.-American capital
to the amount of 1000 has become
interested in Venezuelan banking, a
concession having been granted to
George W. Upton of Ohio, for the or
ganizatiOn of a national banking sys-
tenn, which will practically control the
finances of the country
Mr.. Upton with his wife, reached New
York city on the Red D line steamship,
the Philadelphia. Sonora Andrade, who
was met at San Juan Porto Rico, by
her husband, the deposed president Of
Venezulea, who intends to make his
home in that island. was also on the
Philadelphia.
Mr.. Upton is enthusiastic over Vene-
zuela. He predicts a long peace for
the country and declares that there
is no likelihood of war with Colombia.
Castro, who may be called a dicta-
tor" said Mr.. Upton, has made
splendid impressiOn and will, L be-
lieve, give the country an administra-
tiOn which will be all that could be de-
sired. He has started well by refusing
to punish any of his opponents. He has
declared in favor of a free press and
free speech, has released all political
prisoners and refused to permit a con-
tinuatfon of conscription. He is young,
full of VigOr and ambition and inn
mensely popular.
''Andrade, forsaken by his friends as
well as by his troops, was forced to
flee the country. He had been in office
about 80 months, and in Caracas it is
said that he had several million dollars
when he sailed for the Barbados.
When Castro entered Carcas the
Andrade soldiers welcomed him, and
he simply took command without
changing the aspect of affairs. The
only effect of the revolution is a delay
OF business.
Castro was unknown when, with 100
followers, he crossed the frontier from
Colombia. After marching 600 miles he
had a rabble following him of perhaps
5000. Opposed to him We're 900 troops
belonging to the government. These
troops, however. were not loyal, hence

He Is Investigating the Quality of
United States Beer.

United States Senator Harris is a
member of the senate committee which
is Investigating the aduIteration of

The committee is now in session in
New York. The New York Journal

The United States senate committee
on manufactures, investigating the
adulteratiOn of beer, ales and porter,
resumed its session at the Imperial
hotel yesterday. The only member of
the committee present was Senator
Mason of Illinois, but his co-adjutors,

brewery; John Brown, president of the
Long Island Brewing company; John
Bauer, brewmaster of the F. & NJ.
Schaeffer company. and Joseph Lfeb-
man. of Liebman's Sons brewery. They
declared that nothing deleteriOus was
used in their respective brands of beer
and all were in favor of a United States
law regulating the manufacture of beer
to the extent of prohibiting the use of
any ingredients detrimental to the pub
lie health.
Mr.. Lehman, who has had ffty-twO
years experience as a brewer, declared
that the beer brewed in the United
States was quite as pure and health
full as any other beer in the world.
