No. she replied. You have failed
in honor, not to mention honesty; how

He was silent for some little time,

sitions in Puerto Rico Is
Taken I'm.


sitions In Puerto Rico Is
Taken Up.
WASHINGTON, April GA meeting OF
the cabinet was held today. the president
having returned from New York. for
that and other business
The Puerto Rican civil government oc-
cupied most of the two hours of the meet
ing. The president. with the Aid OF his
cabinet officers, is trying to secure men
of prominence for the positions In the
island. If the bill pending in congress
to allow army officers to continue their
positions is passed the president viii
be in no haste about appointments. but
II this bill threatens to hang fire he will
have to make the appointments by May
1. At least two of the appointments are
to be made now. These are treasurer
and auditor. Secretaries Gage and Root
have. It is said, decided on men for these
positions.
The president has had a careful can
vass made of the Americans living in the
island with view of considering the
wisdom of appointing a number of them
to places.
Attorney General Griggs is trying to
find for the president some prominent
judicial places under the new bill. The
salaries are SO small that few lawyers
of note can be found to consider the posi-
tions.
The effort to collect from Turkey the
claims of the United States was brought
up by Secretary Hay, who told of the
negotiations to this time~ isis statement
made the cabinet hopef,t that settle
nent can be secured at an carly date, all
though the members realize II is a hard
problem TO solve.
Another matter briefly discussed was
that of additional pay allowance to a
few army officers in Cuba. Attorney
General Griggs has been asked n any law
had been violated. He reported 10 the
cabinet that there was no violation OF
law and that the action was warranted
Secretary Root then told the cabinet
the facts in the case. He said that soon
after Gen. Brooke was made governor
general of the island he wrote 10 the
war department asking TO be relieved,
saying that he could not maintain fam
fly in the United States and run an ex-
pensive establishment in Havana on the
salary and allowance he received from
the government, lie declared he would
become bankrupt He referred TO the
great amount OF entertaining he was
forced to do. and 20 the fact that the
people OF the island expected this. The
war department officials. after serious
consideration. decided TO allow Gen,
Brooke an additional allowance from the
Cuban funds. The same decision was
arrived at IN the case Of Gen. Ludlow.
Col. Bliss and one or two others.
The cabinet members say that the ex-
plsnation Of Secretary Root was salts

JAPAN INTENDS TO STOP IT.
VIII Take Prompt Measures 20 Cheek
the Present Flood of Immigra-
ttOn 10 This Country.

WASHINGTON, April 23.--Information
has reached Washington TO the effect
that the Japanese government itself. and
without waiting a request from the
United States. is about 10 take steps to
restrict the immigration OF Japanese
coolies to the United States.
1t is asserted that the figures relative
to this immigration have been masnifed
and that, as matter of fact. there are
now not more than about i5,ooo or 1890
Japanese within the limits OF the United
States, outside OF Hawaii II is said
that such emigration as has lately oc-
Cured has resulted entirely from the
competition OF the two great Japanese
immigration societies; that the laborers
have been practically brought here un-
der the delusion that there were untold
opportunities for work at great wages.
The Japanese government is interested
in protecting its people from the hard
ships resulting from such impositions,
and that Is the reason It intends TO es-
tablish restrictions upon the outward
flow.
