No Matter of Importance Brought
Before the Cabinet Today.
PLEASED With CUBA'S ACTION
No More Bulletins in Regard to
Mrs. Mckinley
TOD AVS SAPPOINTM ENTS

The cabinet held meeting of about an
hour today, doing no business of public in
terest. The members stated that no mat
ter of Importance was brought before the
meeting and that the talk was informal
and on minor topics.
President McKinley's third-term an
nouncement, in view of newspaper and
other comment was the source of remarks
of felicitouS nature. The President
ferred to the many letters and kilograms
he has received from democrats and re-
publicans and the pleasure it gave him that
his action approved throughout the
country.
The action of Cuba's constitutional con-
vention in accepting the Platt amendment
in full excited no long comment. The cab
met members were pleased that all danger
of trouble with Cuba had been averted by
this action. There was no discussion of
what will be necessary for Cuba to attain
her full independence, but the cabinet men,
bers suppose that the next step of the
Cuban convention will be to provide for
election, the details of which Gen. Wood
will see are carried out according to the
wishes of the people. After the election
will come the installation of the officers of
the republic and the formal establishment
OF the new government. When all this
has been satisfactorily carried out the
pectation is that President Mckinley will
order the withdrawal of every vestge of
the military authority of the United States
that now exists on the island. Among some
of the cabinet officers the impression pre-
walls that all of the military force of this
country may be withdrawn from Cuba by
October, but there is likewise a feeling
among others that Cuba's government cam
not be placed on running basis before
December or January, by which time Con-
gress will be in session to act upon any
question that may arise between now and
then.
No More Bulletins.
The steady improvement in Mrs. McKtn-
ley's condition has induced the physicians
to withhold the daily bulletin that has been
given out each morning at the White
House since the return of the President
and his sick wife from the Pacific coast.
The physicians do not announce that Mrs.
Mckinley is beyond danger but they are
extremely hopeful that she is permanent
ly on the upgrade, and that she will be
restored to her usual health.
New Mexico Governorship.
The appointment of q governor for New
Mexico will shortly be announced. The
men who are fighting Governor Otero have
lodged their protest against the appoint
ment with Secretary Hitchcock, who is
investigating the charges that have been
made. The belief is general that Governor
Otero will be reappointed, and will serve
for another four years.
Senator Allison is in the city and called
at the White House this morning with
Representative Smith of Iowa. They talk
ed with the President for a short time.
They were the only callers who saw the
President before the meeting of the cabi-
net.

Nothing has been done at the White
House about a place for Col. William
Youngblood, who retires tomorrow as au-
ditor of the treasury for the Interior De-
partment, and it Is understood that he
will at once accept business offer from a

bama politics.
