6 T H E EVEN r s 'G G AZ E TAT-E. TROUBLE Ill M’IIIN’LEY’ The Cabinet Said to Be Divided on His Cuban Programme. FOUR MEMBERS OPPOSE HIM. Secretary Gage Fe‘gs , That Intervention and \Var With Spain W'ould Force Us to a. Silver Basis—Democrat- ic Senators and the Tariff. Washington, May 24.—A serious split in President McKinley’s cabinet may be the outcome of his policy regarding Cuba. The president contemplates tak- ing very decided action to settle, the war on that island. Opposed to such a policy are Secre— taries Long, Bliss, Gage and Alger. Mr. Gage is the nest vehement in ad- vising the president to avoid all possi— bility of a rupture with Spain. Hi- reason is ‘in order to'carry on a war the government would have to sell bonds at the very start. Consent to do this must be obtained from congress, and while that consent would be promptly given the kind of bonds desired sky the administration might not be authorized. In other words, Mr. Gage, while he will not say so, fears if a war breaks out with Spain the count: ' will be forced upon a silver’basis. The silver party is strong enough in the senate to prevent an issue of bonds, and it is believed that the silver senators will do so and insist upon the issuance of silver bonds even in the grave emergency contemplated. The arguments of Secretary Gage and several other of the secretaries in the cabinet meetings against action in fa- vor 01‘ the Cubans that might lead to trouble with Spain are said to have been based on the situation that would hus confront the president. It is even said that Mr. Gage will not consent to remain 'as secretary of the treasury on this account if the friendly , relations of the two countries are bro- ken off. The possibility of the resignations of Secretaries Long and Bliss for the same reason is also entertained. General A1— ger, it is thought, will not feel obliged to give up his portfolio. Confronted with this situation, Pres— ident McKinley is giving the problem the gravest consideration. His inclina- tion is to exhaust all friendly means to put an end to the Cuban war and then to interfere by torce to accomplish that purpose. These nearest to him say that .he still believes this to be his true pol- icy, and he is holding out against his cabinet in spite of the financial picture which Secretary Gage has painted for. him.. This is because of the intense public interest in the Cuban question and the ‘great‘ popular desire for the interference of the United States to secure the inde~ pendence of the insurgents. A large majority of his party repre- sentatives here are urging him on this course. Letters and telegrams are pour— ing in begging him to do something for Cuba. He is said to‘have remarked at the cabinet meeting that he thought he could ‘count on the patriotism of ever. the silver senators in an emergency. .3: ' “dim“ Tarlfi‘gu the Senate. 1' Washington, May 24.——The Democrat— ic senators Saturday held a caucus to discuss the policy to be pursued in re- lation to the tariff bill. At the conclu— sion of the caucus Senator Gorman, chairman, gave out the following state- ment: “The conference of Democratic sen- ators was held, and it was unanimously agreed by them that, notwithstanding the delay in furnishing the comparative statements which would enable them intelligently to consider the bill, hsze would be no opposition to immediately proceeding with the consideration \ritl. the same on Tuesday, than recog- as . nized the business interests of the coun- try require as speedy a. disposition of the question as is consistent with an intelligent consideration of the meas- . ure. They were in: titer unanimously of .113 opinion that the excessive increases in rates on imported articles proVided for both in the Dingley bill and as reported to the senate should be antagonize] only to the extent of exposing their enormities. Recognizing, however, that the Republican party is committed to these increases, the Democrats will be content with only a fair discussion upon these propositions. ' The Democrats were further unani~ mously of the opinion that they woull oppose the increased tax on beer, tobac- co, cigars and the other items embraced in the internal revenue schedules. Nei- ther party was committed to such in- creases, and there is no governmental necessiiy for such increased burdens upon those articles. Postmasters Appointed.

Here’s what one of them says, only one, but remember, there are others: Mrs. A. M. Bedford, 27 Stuart ave- nue, N orwalk, says: “ Several mem- bers of my family have used the Cali- fornia Catarrh Cure, which was ob- tained at Plaisted’s drug store, and we think that it is a fine medicine. I find it good to clear the head, and: my daughter Grace, has found it is invalu- able in curing headaches, from which she has suffered for a long time, never having found anything that benefitted her as this has done. My husband has also used it for catarrh in the head and throat, and we are all willing to speak a good word for C. C. C., for we know __it is good.” ‘ In cases of hay fever, C, C.
