DISCUSSED BY THE CABINET
Civil Service, Disarmament Confer
ence, and Other Matters.

Washington, D. c., March 29.-At the
cabinet meeting today a variety of SUBJ
jects were discussed, including a number
of questions which have arisen during 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 consolidat-
ing some of the administrative depart
ments. N1
The question of amending the civil ser
vice rules and regulations in certain par
ticulars was under consideration and the
president stated that he desired to dis
pose of the matter at an early day. AL
most the last thing the president did be-
fore leaving for the south was to return
to the members of the cabinet their sew
eral recommendations on the subject, with
request that they again go over them,
with view to making any changes which
might suggest themselves during his alb
sence. Today the president asked that he
be furnished with their conclusions in the
matter as soon as possible, and it is sold
it is his purpose to issue his orders within
a few days. It was again demonstrated
at today's meeting of the cabinet that
while strongly upholding the principles of
the civil service law there is disposition
on the part of several members TO criti-
else its present administration.
The subject of the appointment of COM
missioners to represent the United States
at the forthcoming convention called by
the car of Russia, with view to promot-
ing peace among the nations. was adj
vanced by the president. 1t is understood
States at European courts will lbe named,
together with two or three citizens of the
United States not in the diplomatic SER
vice. 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
is not unlikely that the members will be
named verg soon.
Postmaster General Emory Smith, who
has just returned from Cuba, told of his
observations there. and it was upon his
suggestion that esveral of the Cuban ad-
ministrative departments viii lbe consoli-

While he was in charge of the camp
no thefts or outrages were committed by
his men. With the stolen money they isit-
ed the various stores. At the mining store
they bought something like 1885 worth of
goods AT the store of Joara Figueroa the
bandits bought $3.50 worth of merchandise.
Bernal later heard that this merchant
had furnished information to the Govern
ment of the hiding place of the bandits.
He called on Figueroa, forced him to give
back all of the money that had received
and would have ordered him killed had 1
not reminded him OF the promise of the
morning that no one would be killed.

months member of the Bernal band He

ordered the fellow to be shot. 1t was

three weeks he sent for the $500 which he
had kindly allowed me to retain out of the
stolen money. At first the messenger did

to pay. Soon another messenger came
with a letter bearing the secret mark
In this Bernal demanded the money and
also approved of my action in refusing to
pay on the previous occasion. This time
the messenger was his cousin, Leonardo

OF course 1 gave him the money. Ber-

not know this and would not hove stoop-

captured what few guns and pistols
had before he returned from the town.
there was nothing further to be done in
that matter.
After that he came to the point. He
said he needed $4,000 Immediately and at

I told him I didn't have that much

NO answered; "because I had plenty

our dear ones suffer while awaiting the
arrival of the doctor. An Albany On. W
dairyman called at drug store there for
doctor to come and see his child, then very
sick with Group. Not finding the doctor in,
he left word for him to come at once on
his return. He also bought a bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which he
hoped would give some relief until the doc
tor should arrive. In a few hours he re-
turned, saying the doctor need not come,
as the child was much better. The drug
