tion Taken on Any.


The Cabinet meeting yesterday lasted
for only an hour. and was as devoid Of in
Ierest as it was barren of results. Secre-
tary Alger was the only member absent.
He is still cruising in the waters of the
West Indies. and was to arrive at San Juan
oe Porto Rico last night.
-he manner of paying to Spain the
s2o.e0e eco provided for in the Treaty OF
-seaee WAS talked over in an informal way,
but IS II viii be some time before this is
10 be done the proposition was not consid-
cred with a view of making a definite de-
cision.
\ letter received by Postmaster General
Smith from Porto Rico was read by him at
the meeting. The natives of the island ez-
press great satisfaction and contentment
over the treatment accorded them by the
American Government. They are Particu-
larry well pleased that the money collected
from the revenues OF the island should be
expended in improving the roads and ad-
ding TO the comfort of the people.
The Samoan tripartite Commission has
practically been agreed upon by the three
countries in interest, and has passed out
OF the hands of the Cabinet officers. Ac-
cording 10 the statement OF ems of the
Presidents advisers there has been no per-
son seriously considered as the American
Commissioner.
The general condition Of affairs in the
Philippines is thought to be very encour-
aging and an early termination of the in
surrection is looked for by the President
and his associates.

was not broached at the meeting, but II is
understood that il will be promulgated in
the near future The great mass of docu-
meuts. including the suggestions made by
