WANT MORE CASH.,

Representatives of the Cuban Assembly
Have Arrived in Washington.
WASHINGTON, March 30.-Senors Jose
r. Villalon and A. Hevia, who were APP
pointed by the Cuban assembly to pre-
sent to the Washington authorities the
resolutions of that body, have arrived
in this city. Their mission, in addi-
ton to the presentation of the resolu-
tions, is to explain in detail the situa-
ton with reference to the insurgent
army. While the assembly did not re.
ject the $3,0O0,0 900 which General Go
mez arranged with Mr.. Robert P. Por-
ter to receive and pay off the Cuban
troops, they believed it to be entirely
inadequate to meet the situation. They
desire at least SIC, 100000 and as much
more as can be obtained.
Senior Villalon and and his colleague
will probably seek an audience with
the president himself, and if this is de-
MED them will see the secretary of war.
If the president receives these gentle
men it will be as visiting citizens, not
in their representative capacity. Nc
such recognition will be accorded them.
Il they desire to present a petition OF
request to this government it will have
to go through the ordinary channels
and in this instance it will be through
the military arm Of the government.

Decision Relating to Dover Rights in
If Partnership Transactions.
Sioux CITY, Ia., March PA decis-
lon affecting several million dollars
worth of real estate has been rendered
by District Judge Wakefield. The eight
original owners of the townsite of Sioux
City sold their land without providing
purchasers with releases of their wives
dover interest. The tract disposed Of
embraces 90 to 100 blocks in the present
heart of the city. About year ago,
heirs of the original owners sued to es-
tablish their alleged one-third interest
in the title to the land. The most i'm
portant Of the cases, the action brought
by Henrietta jackson against Julius
and Sigimund Schulen, was made a
test. In deciding the case Judge Wake
field decided that the first owners were
partners and had right to give legal
titles without releasing dover interest,
as they would have been compelled to
do had they acted individually. Mrs.
jackson accordingly asked to dismiss
her case. This would have left her free
to commence another, however, 80 the
Schulens insisted upon decree quiet
ing title, which was entered.

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 3d. AT the spe.
cial cabinet meeting a variety of sub.
jects were considered, including mum.
Der of questions which have arisen dur
ing the two weeks of the presidents
absence in the South. The administra.
ton of affairs in Cuba came up and il
was practically decided to simplify mat.
tiers by consolidating some of the ad.
ministrative departments. The ques-
ton 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. 1t 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 mem
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 car of Russia,
with view to promoting peace among
the nations was advanced by the presi-
dent. 1t 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 is
not unlikely that the members will be
named very soon. The question Of rails
ing an additional force of volunteers to
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-
tions there and it was upon his sugges-
ton that several of the Cuban admins
trative departments will be consol-
idated,

WASHINGTON LETTER.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, JUNE 9TH, 1899.
Secretary Alger left Washington to
be absent the greater part of this month,
Just after the Cabinet decided not to
call for volunteers for the Philippines.
There were two reasons for this decs-
ion. The first, and most important,
was that it would be exceedingly dan
gerous to the health of the men to send
raw volunteers to the islands until the
rainy season is over, which will not be
until about September lst., and Gen.
Otis could make no good use of them
during that season, if they were there.
The other reason was report received
from President Schurman, Of the Phil
ippine Commission, expressing the
opinion that the Filipinos would sur
render before the close of the rainy sea.
son, making another military campaign
unnecessary. Military men are almost
unanimous in the belief that more vol
unteers will have to be called for, before
the revolt is put down. Meanwhile,
regulars are to be sent to take the place
of the returning volunteers, and Gen.
Otis has been given authority to enlist
as many natives as he may see fit.
Gen. Wood, the Commander of the
Santiago district, seems to have found
the Cuban problem easy to solve. In
a report to the War Department, after
telling of the quiet and orderliness of
the entire district, over which he had
just travelled, he said: "The whole prob.
lem today in Cuba is work. Put the
idle people who are now reading the
incendiary press to work. relegate to a
back seat the politicians whose present
Importance rests solely on the attention
they are receiving from our people, and
they will not have followers enough
left to give them the slightest impor-
lance Or weight in the community. Ag.
itators have tried to stir up the people
of this province, but they cannot do it,
simply because we have given the peo-
pie something to do and put them in a
condition so good that they will not
leave it for lawless life, unless abso-
lutely forced to. The people who are
creating the disturbances today in Cuba
do not represent two per cent. OF the
population" 1t seems pity that Gen.
Wood could not be put in charge of the
whole of Cuba, and be allowed to gov
ern it in his own way, he has been so
successful in his district.
