Recess Appointments Considered at
ne Cabinet Meeting: Other
Rational Kews.
WASHINGTON, Nov. L The Cabinet
afeetinsr today -was devoted largely to the
consideration of the recess appointments
which the President must send to Corn
sress -when it convenes next month. The
President Is going carefully over these ap
pointments with the members of tho Cabi
net Secretary Gage reported his action In
resuming: the purchase of bonds, -with an
offer of $000,OC& No announcement -was-made
as to the length of time the -purchase
Is to continue.
The Cabinet also discussed the abroga
tion of the so-called Browning Indian
School ruling, but no further, action was
taken. Secretary Hitchcock explained
the situation, and said that if the abroga
tion proves to be a disadvantage to the
Indian children, or detrimental to their
best Interests, he would rocall it and re
establish the Browning ruling, which
was made September 30. 1896, and directed
that Indian agents first should build up
and maintain the Government day schools
and declared that Indian parents have no
right to designate which schools their
children shall attend. The abrogation of
the ruling already has caused numerous
Inquiries of the Interior Department. The
Bureau of Catholic Missions has been
fighting for the abrogation ever blnce the
ruling was made, and last July called at
tention, of the department to Its non
action and to tho fact that Secretary
Hitchcock, when on the Pacific Coast trip
of the President and Cabinet last Summer,
had telegraphed Assistant Secretary
Ryan to give Archbishop Ireland assur
ances that the ruling would be rescinded,
and that Mr. Ryan wired the archbishop
acordlngly. Commissioner of Indian 'Af
fairs Jones has strenuously opposed the
abrogation, but, flnilly after a full dis
cussion with Secretary Hitchcock, agreed
to abrogate It with the distinct under
standing that It could be re-establlahed
If found to be In the Indians best inter
ests and the action was In accordance
with the wishes and directions of the
Secretary.

THE SUBSISTENCE DEPARTMENT.
Annual Report of Commissary-General
W,eston.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. The report of
General John F. Weston, Commissary
General of Subsistence, shows that the
total expenditures for the subsistence of
the Army during the fiscal year were $15,
622,228. The receipts from the sales of
subsistence stores during the same period
were $3,290,234. An Interesting feature of
the report is a statement from Colonel
Woodruff, Chief Commissary of the Army
In the Philippines, in which he says:
"During the first three months of the
period covered by this report stores here
had, for various causes, become greatly
reduced, but owing to the grand response
made by the Commissary-General to ev
ery call from this office and the energetic
action of the purchasing commissaries
in San Francisco and New York, this was
spefcdlly corrected, and this division was
soon supplied as no other Army of Its size
has ever been supplied in the world's his
tory, "During the period covered by this re
port the command to be supplied extended
from the Great Wall of China on the
north to the Island of Borneo south and
the Island of Guam on the east. There
were 480 stations in this archipelago, be
sides the troops in China and the prisoners
in Guam.
"In addition to the C8,000 troops and 3C03
officers in this division, the subsistence
department supplied the delicacies lor the
sick, rations for 4000 prisoners of war IS
marines, many of the stores for the Navy,
rations for 1000 civilian employes, and
sales stores for the Army, Navy .and. Ma
rine officers, Philippine Commission at
laches, arid Americans employed by the
Army and "by the-Government In its treas
ury, postofflce, interior arid educational
departments, metropolitan and native po
lice, scouts, transports, etc r"
. "In other words, nearly 100,000 persons,
occupying a country almost destitute of
meat and vegetables and other food sup
plies suitable for Americans, were sup
plied largely from a single base, 7000 miles
distant. After the stores reached Manila
they had to be landed In cascocs and were
then distributed by 6hort railroads, and
then poled up narrow rivers by wagon
and carts, along almost bottomless roads,
by pack mules and coolies over mountain
trails, often through a hostile country,
and some of the posts supplied were
more distant. In point of time, from Ma
nila, than is the capital of our country."
Colonel Woodruff 6ays that during the
period covered by the report 35,000 men
have been returned tothe United States
and about 18.000 have arrived in the Phil-
f lpplnes, ana that not a serious complaint
has been received concerning the food
supply. There have been received at the
Manila depot 116,554.830 pounds of ration
articles and 62,444,996 pounds of sales
stores. There hava bepn shipped from
this depot 11,771,509 pounds of ration
articles and 57,022,671 pounds of sale storte.
There has been some deterioration of
stores due to poor storage and climatic
conditions.
Colonel Woodruff refers to the charges J
against the subsistence department, and
takes occasion to say that such charges
were greatly exaggerated, and he reviews
what has already been published con
cerning the losses by dishonest officers
and Commissary Sergeants, together with
the trials and convictions of those Im
plicated. He denies any Illegal purchases
of champagne, and says that the pur
chases that were made were necessary
for sick troops, who purchased It at 82
cents a pint.
General Weston's report deals quite ex
tensively with tho Chinese campaign, and
quotes from officers who were in that ex
pedition to show that the troops were well
supplied.
SEW MINISTER FROM PORTUGAL.
Santo-Thyrso Sent a Premature No
tice of MeKlnley's Death.
NEW YORK, Nov. L Th8 Visconde
Thyrso, Portuguese Minister at Washing
ton, has been recalled and placed "en
dlsponslbllite," in consequence of his
premature announcement of President
McKlnley's death, whereby he caused Iho
government great annoyance, says the
Lisbon correspondent of the Herald. His
successor is Scnor Horta Mlchado.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. The State De
partment officials expressed.. Incredulity
and surprise when told of the appoint
ment of a new Minister from Portugal,
especially of tho allegation that the
change was made because of a prema
ture announcement of President McKln
ley's death by Santo-Thyrso. This was
the firts news that had reached them that
such an error had been made. They
were quite sure, so far as the United
States Government was concerned, It had
not been embarrassed by any act of the
ex-Mlnlster, for the records of condol
ences received at the department disclose
the fact that Portugal conformed closely
to the rules observed by the other na
tions of the world.
SAN JUAN PIER SEIZED.
Franchise Case to Be Tried In the
Courts.
SAN JUAN, P. R., Nov. l.-Tho pier
property of the New York df. Porto Rico
Steamship Company was seized yesterday
by the police in the name of the people
of, Porto Rico under orders from Gover
nor Hunt. The plor, which was erected
under a license of the War Department,
was burned some months ago, and tht
company has been engaged In rebuilding,
using the old pile foundation, contending
that It still has rights under the license
of the Secretary of War, and it was sim
ply repairing damage done by the ele
ments. The Council ruled that the com
pany had no right -to do so without a
new Insular franchise. The action taken
places the matter In- a position .where
the Governor can pass upon the rights
of the parties concerned. The company
has made an application for an Injunc
tion, will sue to recover damages and
will test the validity of Secretary Root's
license under the civil regime.

WASmNGTON. Nov. L Professor Wil
lis L. Moore, chief of the Weather Bu
reau, and his assistant, combat the theory
of the efficacy of shooting as a means
of destroying hailstorms and say none
of the reports of experiments in Europe
has shaken their opinion. Professor
Moore will Issue a report shortly on the
subject, elaborating his views of the In
vestigations and experiments that have
been conducted along these lines. He
vigorously denies that shooting has any
effectiveness In destroying hailstorms or
In bringing about rain, despite a rathor
nrevalent belief, and says that It is not
1 worth while for the vineyard districts of
this country to adopt such measures as
are proposed in France for the protection
of vltlculturlsts.

MASSO'S MANIFESTO.
His Candidacy Likely to Disturb the
Peace of the Island.
HAVANA, Nov. 1. The manifesto of
General Bartolome Masso, in declaring
himself a candidate for the Presidency
or Cuba, has caused a stir in political
circles. It Is generally admitted that he
will prove a strong candidate If he re
ceives the support of the autonomist pir
ty. El Dlaro de la Marina, the organ of
the autonomists, commends the manifes
to. "It Is not the redhot bombshell pre
dicted," says the paper, "but a conserva
tive and well ordered pronouncement.
The Idea of evolving gradually Into Inde
pendence under the Piatt amendment Is
the view the autonomists take, General
Masso'a plea that the payment of the
army should be the first obligation of
the republic Is a political move, and has
no alarming significance, especially when
we take Into consideration tho conversa
tlsm that Is evident throughout the man
ifesto." La Discussion ridicules General Mas
ses candidacy and criticizes his bid for
the autonomist and negro vote. La
Lucha, sounding a note of warning for
the men surrounding Senor Palma,
says:
"Unless something Is done Immediately
to unite the Cubans, the fierce political
struggle that Is inevitable with Generil
Masso in the field will result In a dis
turbance of tho moral peace of the Island.
Tho official element back of Senor Palma
lacks tact, prudence, and has no other
object thin jo liold on to the political
offices."
A board of Inscription was elected to
day, whose, duties will be to register
voters for the coming election.

Anxiety Prevails at the American Le
gation in Constantinople Brit
ish Ambassador Assisting;.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov, L Late to
day tho pase of Miss Stone agailn became
serious. " The "brigands are still holding
out for the 23,000 ransom, and It Is
feared that should they persist In helr
demand Miss Stone will have to be sac
rificed. Nevertheless, the negotiations
are still proceeding.
Anxiety prevails this evening at the
United States Legation, whence there
has been an active exchange of tele
grams between Secretary Spencer Eddy
and various points. Mr. Eddy today
had a long conference with Sir Nicholas
R. O'Connor, the British Ambassador
here, who la Actively assisting In the ef
forts to bring about Miss Stone's release.
So far from there being any confirma
tion of the rumors of her death circulat
ing In the Bulgarian border districts, lt
is said here that another letter, written
two days ago, has been received from
her.
Unusual Precautions Necessary.
SOFIA, Nov. 1. The best method of
transmitting the-ranscm demanded by the
brigands for the release of Miss Ellen
M. Stone, the abducted American mis
sionary, for securing tho safety of the
captives, Is, engaging the attention of the
Samakov missionaries who are conduct
ing negotiations xith tho kidnapers. It is
felt that unusual precautions arc neces-
there undoubtedly is danger that the cap
tives will be murdered after the ransom
is paid.

strain of the past 10 months harf brought
his nervous aybtem almost to a point of
collapse.
Young Cudahy continued his narratlv
of the kidnaping today. The defense, on
cross-examination, tried to show that thp
boy was addicted to excessive cigarette
smoking and was, therefore, unable to
give a clear version of the kidnaping.

and the statement that he could prove
an alibi. Court then adjourned until 3
o'clock to await the result of Callahan's
lllnesa When court reopened, Callahan
was- still In a nervous state and few wit
nesses wero examined. Their testimony
was a repetition of that given at the first
trial. P. J. McGrath, who accompanied
