Cuban Presidents Cabinet Appointments

HAVANA. March 4.-The composition OF
the new Cuban Cabinet as outlined yester
day was confirmed to-day. It is generally
considered that President Palma, in form
ing his new Cabinet has not allowed the
Moderate Liberals to have their way to the
extent they are supposed to have desired
to further their own aims. though they hold
that the new body has been formed to
certain extent with electoral ends in view
The Luchd says the competition of the
Cabinet shows that President Palma rea
LIED the dangerous direction in which the
Moderates were leading him, He has not
satisfied the Moderates entirely. He gave
them something, but holds tho key to the
situation in his own hands.
The Discussion expresses its satisfaction
at the membership Of the Cabinet II says
that all the members were revolutionary
supporters and all have great love for the
republic.
Il is thought that several men will not
remain in the Cabinet for any length Of
time. as their training Ia in the direction of
work which will be required in the general
political situation.

The season of opera at the Metropolitan

"Tosca' was given. In this brief and
picturesque tragedy Nine. Emma Eames,
Mr. Scott and Mr.. DIPPED sang their adieus,
and Conductor Yigna gave his baton its
final waves. The audience was large, hut
the house was not quite sold out.
The representations Of the principals in
Mr.. Puccinis musical setting of Sardou's
torture chamber drama have been dis
cussed often and there is nothing to be sud

seemed bent yesterday on giving his best

Nine Eames was most beautiful pict-

Special Cable Despatch 10 THE Sun.
LONDON March 4.-Italian railway men
incur severe legal penalties II they strike,
so they have been driven during the last
few days to devise other means OF COM
pelling concessions. They have adopted
n policy Of obstruction which is based on
a minute observance OF the regulations.
AS some OF these are very trivial and OF the
red tape order the result is often ludlorous
The clerks at the ticket offices have in
sisted on the passengers rendering the eS-
act amount of their fares, as under the regu-
lations they are not allowed to give change.
The ticket Offices and app reaches to the
platforms are closed five minutes before
the advertised time of the departure OF
train. Every article Of baggage il care
fully measured. If one is a trife over the
size permitted by the original regulations
the passengers are not allowed to take il
along on that train except on payment by
weight. The signal men have constantly
held up trains TO comply with some foolish
forgotten rule. Tho cars are swept and
busted and the windows polished assidu-
ousy while the passengers are waiting
and are not allowed to board them until
these things have been completed.
These and many similar acts Of the en-
ployees have exasperated the public, who
havo suffered extreme inconvenience and
on several occasions have attacked the rail
way men. The freight business has been
seriously hampered and in some parts OF
the country completely tied up by the men
adding to a scrupulous obedience to the
rules deliberation OF movement which
has thrown everything out Of gear
These tactics, however, have recoled on
the men themselves in compelling them
to work long hours. They are getting tired
Of the plan and will probably abandon it
and await the adoption of legislation for
the redress Of their grievances 1t was the
delay in enacting such legislation that led
TO the adoption Of the present tactics
