TODAY'S CABINET MEETING.
China and the Philippines Were
Chiefly Discussed.


Chiefly Discussed.
The cabinet remained In session today
from II o'clock to 30 O'clock giving most
of the time, it is stated, to going over the
events of recent date In connection with
affairs in China The cabinet had not met
in some time, and there was considerable
correspondence to be reviewed and passed
upon. 1t is officially stated that the Chinese
government has given renewed notice OF
its intention 10 punish the leading offenders
is satisfactory to the administration.
There was some speculation in the cab
met to the probable speedy ending of the
insurrection in the Philippines in view of
the result of Tuesdays election. The belief
prevails with the President and his ad-
vsers that the rebellion will soon begin to
peter out, with chances that there may be
almost a sudden collapse Of the opposition
to the American forces and government.
No advices have been received from the
Philippines as to what is expected there.
The matter of establishing more school
houses in Porto Rico was talked about. No
action was taken pending the meeting of
the Porto Rican legislature which was
elected on Tuesday. The legislative council
is expected to give consideration to this
subject early in its first session. 1t is said
that some the $2.O00,0O0 appropriated to
public works in the island has not been ex-
pended and coul be used in the conStruc-
ton of school houses
There was some political gossip, but as
there was much business to be looked after
This was soon stopped.

PHILIPPINE POSTAL SERVICE.
Censorship of the Mails Exercised
Only in Extreme Cases.

Recent developments in the postal service
in the Philippines are reported by Director
General of Posts Vaille in communication
just received by the Post Office Depart
ment. Regarding the censorship of the
mails, the director general says Gen. Mac
Arthur is fully in accord with him on his
contention that postal censorship shall be
resorted to only in case of absolute neces-
sity. He says there has been and will be
no friction between the postal and military
authorities on this question. He recognizes,
however. that occasions may arise where
censorship is absolutely necessary and he
postal service shall in every way assist the
military.
The first instance of theft since the in
ception of the postal service in the Phil
ippines occurred al the Manila post office
September &c, when Francisco Villovante,
a native janitor. was arrested and subse-
quentiy tried and sentenced to one year in
the penitentiary for taking from the mail
ing table a small package. F. l.. Stocking,
assistant director general of posts and
postmaster of Manila, went to Nagasaki,
Japan, October 2, after being i'll in hospital
for two months with fever and rheumatism
Surgeons advised him he would recover In
a few weeks in the colder climate of Japan.
The report also announces the departure of
Special Agent J. w. Erwin on the trans
port Meade. after thoroughly investigating
the accounts of the department on the
Island.

WILL CRUISE IN CUBAN WATERS.
Secretary Root Going Away for a Two
Weeks Vacation.

Secretary Root Going Away 1Or n TWO
Weeks Vacation.
Secretary Root left here this afternoon
for New York, where he will embark tomor-
row on the Ward Line steamer for Cuba.
There is some mystery about the plans and
purposes of the Secretary's visit to Cuba at
this time. 1t is known, however, in a gen.
eral way that he will land at Havana and
cross the islin to Batabano, where. ac-
companied by his son. he will board a steam
yacht and go a cruise. After short
stay in the vicinity of the Isle of Pines he
will cruise around the eastern end of Cuba,
visiting Cienf!egos, Santiago and other
ports that he failed to visit on his previous
trip to the island last spring.
1t is said that Secretary Root will COM
bine business with pleasure on his trip. and
will devote as much time as possible to the
preparation of his annual report. He eX
poets to be gone about two weeks. There
will naturally be considerable speculation
over the Secretary's visit to Cuba during
the present political excitement on the ISL
and. due to the sessions of the constitu-
tional convention. This is the unhealthy
season in Cuoa. and consequently there is
some surprise that Secretary Root should
go there in his present impaired state of
health. He has never fully recovered from
the effects of the blood poisoning which
caused him Sc much suffering during the
summer. and Is hardly in shape for the
onerous and important duties which will
devolve upon him from now until the set
tlement of the vexed Philippine question.

BRITISH SAILOR MURDERED.
Shfpmate Kills Him While Asleep in
His Bunk.

NEW YORK, November 9.-John Collins,
a sailor on the British steamer Dunstan,
was murdered early this morning by Ber-
nard Corrigan, shipmate. The two men
had been drinking during the night in sa-
Icons in Brooklyn near the ships dock, and
they quarreled several times. On their re-
turn to the ship Corrigan cut Collins cheek
open with sheath knife. Collins shrieks
of pain aroused all the men in the forecas-
tie. Its occupants rushed on deck and after
dsarming the assailant beat him black and
blue. He was ordered to remain on deck
under threats Of being hustled ashore and
licked up.
Corrigan evaded the guard placed on him,
and about 4 o'clock this morning he crept
into the forecastle armed with machine
wrench two feet long and weighing about
ten pounds. He turned up the light of a
burning lantern, which stood on a table, to
cradle him to correctly pick out his man.
Then, proceeding to Collins bunk, with a
loudly uttered oath he brought the instru-
ment down twice upon the mans forehead,
killing him almost instantly. Corrigan was
arrested and three of the Dunstans crew
were held witnesses.

began last night all over New York state
and continued today. with the wind rising
to a gale. 1t Is also much colder than yes

more than an inch of snow on the ground
at noon today.
On the coast the wind became so high
that the marine observer In the Sandy
Hook tower was forced to leave his post
because the building swayed 50 much that
he feared it would collapse. Just before he
left he reported that it was blowing a hur-
ricane and that there were tremendously
high waves at sea. Some time earlier in
the day an unknown sloop lying In the
Horseshoe. inside Sandy Hook, dragged her
anchor and was driven high on the beach
All telegraph service out of New York
was badly crippled by the storm and tele-
grams and press dispatches moved very

Displaying the same stoical courage and

The condemned man protested his innocence

The Brazilian squadron. composed Of
the cruisers Riachuelo and BarrOso and
the torpedo boat TamayOs entered port
early in the afternoon.
President Rocca, accompanied by
members of his cabinet, army officers

Der of deputies went on board the

ng of the two presidents was very cor
dial. They embraced each other. When
DR. CampOs Sales stepped upon Argen-
tine soil a band of 300 musicians played
the Brazilian anthem.
All persons took off their hats during
the playing Of the anthem and stood
in solemn silence. When the playing
ended the crowd heartily greeted Presi-
dent Campos Sales and the other Bra
lillian guests.
The presidential procession advanced
amid the roar of the artillery at the bat

reference to the plans of former Presi-

Most of the stories published on the
subject are imaginative. Mr. Kruger
will land 1T NIarseilIes and I shall go out
to meet him. But it is not true that
have seen M. Delcasse, the French
minister of foreign affairs, or that I am
in any way arranging a reception, which
will be entirely in the hands of the
French themselves. Nothing has yet
been definitely decided upon as to the
details of Mr.. Kruger's stay in Europe
But Mr.. Kruger is an old man, and not
accustomed to cold climate, so it is
likely he will sojourn in the neighbor-
hood of Nice for the winter. I have no
reason to believe there is any ground
for the statement that Mr.. Kruger in
tends to visit President Mckinley
