The chinese Situation Among the
Matters Under Discussion.
At the Cabinet meeting today TIE Chi
nese situation was discussed. Secretary
Hay had no light 10 throw upon the sub
ject, no Official communication having
been received beyond the brief despatch
from Minister Conger, made public yester-
day.
The general fact, however that a new
Emperor had been appointed was accept
ed as true. and the discussion turned upon
the probable influence the change might
have upon trade in the Orient and upop
American interests in the East.
il Is understood that the appointment in
dleates the ascendency Of that faction in
the Chinese Empire that is hostile 10 an
foreign influence. its coming 10 the front
at this time may serve as a Temporary
check upon the progress everywhere visi-
Bile in China
The Cabinet was also engaged for some
ume, 10 was intimated, in considering the
war situation in South Africa
The Postmaster General brought before
the Cabinet the difficulty arising from the
use Of the Spanish and French coins in
Cuba. The people of the island place a
higher value on these coins than is al
lowed az the United States mints. and this
results in loss to the postal revenues.
NO remedy has been suggested for this
monetary condition, but IL is expected that
a value for the various coins vii. be de-
clared and that the people will be required
TO accept this valuation.
