ANSWER TO SCHLEY APPEAI.
President Discusses It With Cabinet-.A
 Long Document.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The cabinet appeal. The president has given good deal of attention to the matter and it is understood that in the course of q few days, probably by the middle of next week, he will be ready to announce his conclusions. Members of the cab met are extremely reticent as to what the presidents views are beyond the statement that his decision undoubtedly will clear the atmosphere somewhat upon many of the involved questions. The cabinet also talked over the com- ing of Prince Henry and Secretary Hay referred incidentally to the Japanese English alliance.
 The president outlined his views on the Schley case by reading the first draft of his decision. Some modihca- tions were made in 1t to-day, and in further and possibly important changes in the text, members of the cabinet back their indisposition to discuss it by the assertion that at this time 1t is unsafe to predict what it's exact effect will be- It is a long document and one of it's features is the clear and concise presentation of the events of the battle off Santiago as described to the presi-- dent by the captains engaged in that fight who were recently summoned to the white house to confer with him. The decision is couched in the presidents vigorous tone.

ROSEBERY SCORES IRELAND
4DMITS COMPLETE CHANGE OF
 HEART OYER IRISH QUESTION.
Strongly Emphasizes His Hostility to the NatiOnaIist Party and His Desire to Utterly AIienate 1t from the Liberal Camp-Ireland's Antngonism to the Empire PrecIudes Giving Her un Inde- pendent Parliament.
pendent Parliam ment.

1 Liverpool, Feb 14-Lord RoseberS
 received tremendous ovation at the
 great liberal demonstration here this
 evening. His lengthy speech, the prin- 1 cipal one of the evening, was attentive l ly received and heartily applauded. He failed to throw any startling, fresh light on the war situation but he strongly emphasized his hostility to the Irish
 party and his desire to utterly alienate l if from the liberal camp.
 l During the course of his remarks | Lord Rosebery said that the greatest change in heart and head he had un- dergone during his five years absence
 from public life was relative to the Irish problem. MT. Gladstone's bills were dead and buried, though that statement cast no reflection on the
 great statesman who originated them
 The Irish party had now indignantly
 eral party and he believed they had
 acted wisely. It was both to their in-
 terests and to those of the liberal party.
 The Irish leaders had played their full
 hand. They had demanded an inde-
 pendent parliament in Dublin and
 thereupon he had cried Halt" This remark was greeted with applause
 Continuing Lord Rosebery said 'I am not prepared at any time or under any circumstances to grant them an in- dependent parliament. No sane per son would ever consent to hand over the destinies of Ireland, situated in the very heart of the empire, to a parlia- ment controlled by those who have ex- pressed the earnest wish that we might be overthrown in battle. The Irish ques- tion is too large for any one party. It will need the energy and the patriot ism of both great parties to deal there with. These are my personal sentiments, but wish to make them perfectly clear on returning to public life"
 Regarding the war Lord Rosebery said he had been ignorantly ridiculed for the suggestion of casual peace ne- gotiations in some waySde inn but that he thought that the recent mis- sion of Dr. Kuyper the Dutch premier, bore fairly close analogy to such course. The speaker said that he thought the reply of Lord Lansdowne, the under-secretary for foreign affairs to pr. Kuyper, was fitting and dignified but he thought the government had acted wrongly in declining to reckon with the Boer delegates in Europe and allow them to send deputations to South Africa"
 '"The trouble with the government" said Lord RoseberS, lis that they are always thinking of the present. I try to think of the future when Boer and l El iton will have to live together in South Africa"

HOWE & STETSON.
PADEREWSKIS OPERA.
s.MaMru" Received i'm New York With
 Great En nthusiasm.

New York, Feb. 14.-Ignace Paderew- skis 'Manru," an opera in three acts, was produced by the Grau Opera con- pany at the Metropolitan Opera house tonight and was received with remark able enthusiasm. After the first and seconds acts the audience rose to it's feet and called for the author again and again.
 "Manru'' is Paderewski's maiden eff fort at dramatic writing. and in the main is decidedly Wagnerian in it's strength though at times it is beauti- fully light and melodic. It is a com- bination of the Wagnerian and Italian schools, with good deal of originality which now will probably be classed as belonging to the Paderewski school of operatic writing. The opera was first performed in Dresden in 1901 and was there received with a great deal of success. The libretto is by M. Nossig, a litterateur, artist and sculptor. The theme is an allegorical study of the struggles of the Slavic race.
 Mime. Sembrich sang Ulana, a role of exceedingly dramatic quality and quail ity much better fitted for Calve. Manru, the title role, was sunk by Von Wander owski, whom Paderewski brought over especially for that purpose. He has a full round voice of good quality and wide range, and made a deep impress sion.
 David Bispham sang the role of Uloll magnificently and it can truthfuly be said he never sang or acted better.

PERSONAL TO PAUNCEFOTE
HIS OPINIONS IMPRESSED AT
 MEETING 4PRIL 14. 1S9S

Official Statement in the Commons British Am ba ssador Did Not Take In- itiative in Calling the session-Tho Identical Telegram Agreed Upon Quickly Objected to by the British
 Government. London, Feb. 1.-The parliamentary
 secretary for the foreign office, Lord
 Cranborne, replying in the house of commons to-day, to question of Henry Norman QiberaD on the subject of the action of the British ambassador at Washington, Lord Pauncefote, April IA, 1S9S said:
 "The meeting which occurred April IA, 1898, was convened by Lord Paun- cefote, as dean of the ambassadors, at the verbal suggestion of some of his colleagues. Whatever opinions were ex- pressed by Lord Pauncefote during the discussion, which was of an informal character, were personal to himself, and not pursuant to instructions from her majesty's government. The discussion resulted in an agreement to forward an identical telegram to their respective governments, suggesting further com munication to the United States gov ernment. On receipt of this message her majesty's government immediately replied by objecting to the terms of the communication as injudicious. Two days later Lord Pauncefote was inform ed that her majesty's government had decided to take no action. We, at that time, had no inrformation of the atti- tude of the German government"
 It will be seen by Lord Cranborne's statement, said government official, that the British ambassador at Wash ington acted merely as dean of the dip- lomatic corps in summoning the meet ing of April IA, 1898, that he did so at the instigation of other diplomats; that he acted in those proceedings en- tirely on his own initiative, forwarded the note as a matter of routine, and was instructed in return to take abso- lutely no notice of the matter.
