DISCUSS CASE AT VENICE
of Cabinet Take Up Matter
of imprisonment of Naval
Officers In Italian City.

WASHINGTON, June 20.-The case Of the
American naval officers imprisoned at Ven
ice was discussed at the cabinet meeting to-
day, but the officials decline to make any
statement in regard to it.
II is known, however, that Secretary
Moody, for the navy, has assured the ItaI-
ian ambassador that the publication of the
findings of the court Of inquiry was entirely
unauthorized and that the department
would not have consented to 1t had it been
advised.
As the ambassador is particularly an
noyed by the severe criticism upon the
Italian jails in the Endorsement in the find
ings, 1t is probable that the affair will be
smoothed over by an explanation to the
effect that the Navy department does not
share IN the same criticism. which is sim
ply shat Of one OF its officers expressed as
a matter Of internal administration. Prob
ably this will end the matter for the pres
ent at least.
There, was a very genuine feeling ex-
pressed as to the success Of the canal
proposition. Secretary Hay had a long con-
ference before the meeting with Senator
Morgan and other senators and all the ad-
vices that had come TO the White House
before the cabinet meeting went to assure
the president that some canal legislation at
the pending session is a certainty and al
most as strong was the evidence that the
legislation would be in favor Of the Panama
subject.
So well assured is the administration Of
the outcome that discussion already has
take place OF the steps 20 be taken to
carry out the purposes of the act, and 1t Is
understood hat the State department will
deal with the diplomatic features Of the
canal project involving. Of course, the con-
summation Of the Colombian treaty, while
the attorney general will pass upon the
question Of suficiency OF title to the Pan
anna canal.
signor Mayer Des Planiches, the Italian
ambassador, was again at the state and
navy departments today to consult the ON
cials in regard to the publication OF the
findings Of the court Of inquiry which in
vestigated the affair in which officers from
the cruiser Chicago were involved at Ven
Ice. None Of the principals in the confer
ence cared to make any statement as to
the nature OF them. Secretary Moody ex-
pressed his earnest regret to the ambassa-
dor that the findings has been made public
and assured him that the ~oficisls at Wash
ington were in nc way responsible for and
did not approve of IT. The ambassador
inclines to the view that both governments
should make public the records OF pro-
ceedings in the case. Secretary Moody.
however, has already expressed his desire
not to make the American courts record
public, and here the matter hangs in the
balance. The ambassador will call at the
state department tomorrow to confer with
Secretary Hay, who was absent when he
called today. Until then Signor Mayer does
not care to make any formal statement
as to h course he INTENDS 10 pursue.

WOOD REPLIES TO HILL

former military governor of Cuba, today
authorized the following statement in re-
gard to the criticism o; his administra-

THE statement made by Mr.. Hill shows
either a most profound ignorance OF the

disregard for the truth. II he had ascer-
tanned the facts and desired to state the
truth, he would not have made the state
ment which he is credited with having
