A special cabinet meeting was held in Secretary Hay's office at 11 o'clock.

The secretary of state, fresh from his personal intercourse with the President, was in position to advise his colleagues of the administration's purpose, and the whole Chinese situation was discussed. When hp cabinet conference adjourned it was stated that no further definite plans concerning the action of this government had been prepared. 23,000 ALLIES AT TIEN TSIN. The government has received information, presumably from Admiral Remey, that the number of allied troops in Tien Tsin is The movement of the troops from Tien Tsin to Tekin. Secretary Rout said, would depend upon the arrival and mobilization of troops of nations now on the way to Taku.

He said it would be impossible for the United States force, as small as it is, to go alone. It is further stated that all the United States troops that could possibly be spared had been ordered to China. ALLEGED NEWS OF ENVOYS JULY 15 Chinese ilminei- From IVkin S.ivs They Were Penned in a Cat he-' 1 ril and Defending Themselves. BERLIN', July 27. A dispatch received here today, dated Tien Tsin.

Tuesday, July '24, says: "A messenger who left Pekin Sunday, July lo. brought today to the customs office here news that Prince Citing's soldiers had been righting Prince Titan's troops and had been defeated. The foreigners were defending themselves in the northern cathedral, near the Forbidde City." that the. purpose of the treaty of Paris in that section was to convey the entire 1 hil-ippine archijielago to the United States, anil the general language of the act of cession was sufficient to effect that transfer, the de-lined boundary leing an unnecessary ie-scriptlon. Negotiations lastlag many months followed, antl each ami ivory member of the peace commission v.as called upon to give his Individual undo -standing of the proceedings at Paris, so far they bore upon this point.

Finally it ap eared that an exact boundary would have to le accepted, instead of one laid down In krone r-al terminology, according to the fundamental principles 'of common law. That be t. the case it became necessary in the interest of sound policy and to prevent the existence of a probable cause of irrit ttion In the future to buv out Spain's neighborly rights and continue the two islands as part of the Philippine archipelago. As from Madrid, the cabinet, by widen is meant the Spanish cabinet, is favorably considering the proposetj transfj-r, and the negotiations practically may regarded closed, on the basis of a cash llayment to Spain I the United States of for the iwo islands. The two islands are insignificant In area and thinly populated, probably containing from tim to Sikh) people in all.

Cibitu is a long, narrow island. 14 miles in length by two across. It is flat and uninteresting, save for one small conical mountain in the center, about oco feet in height. It is surrounded by coral reefs, with no anchorage to speak of. Cibitu lies only four miles outside of th? southern boundary nxed by the treaty of Paris.

Cagayen. is about the same area, five miles by eight, with mountains reaching a height ol lhti teet. It is the largest half a dozen tiny islets known as the Cagayen Sulu group antl owing allegiance to the Sultan of Sulu. Its chief products are tobacco. igar and similar tropical products, ftolh the islands are said to be mainlv valuable for their oearl and shell fisheries, which, it is possible, may develop Dome commercial importance.

tie important consideration hich has influenced the United States government in these negotiations is the desirability of excluding any European power from the possession of the islands for a naval station, which would constitute a constant menace to the United States' sovereignty. There is reason to believe that schemes of that kind already have been put afloat, which are now to be thwarted. HIS WIFE ANNOYED HIM MR. CHARNLEY CHARGED THREW BOOKS. SH HAD HER IN POLICE COURT.

purchase front Spain by the United States ot the Islands of Cibittt and Cngayen, which were left in Spanish possession by the treaty of Paris, although part of tho Philippine Archipelago. The purchase price was not made public. Had the peace commissioners at Paris, in arranging for the. relinquishment to the United States of the Philippines, contented themselves with the phraseology, "The Philippine Archipelago." as deorlptiye of the territory to be ceded to the United States by Spain, no question, perhaps, would have arisen over the possession of C'ibitu and Cagayen islands. Hut to avoid the least ehaneo of loos definition, the peaeo commissioners drew a geographical boundary line around the islands to be transferred.

The lines generally described a parallelogram, but at the southwestern corner, for some reason, there was nn Inset, excluding some of the islands ofT the coast of Hornet. Hy the terms of the treaty the southern boundary line of the archipelago started at the eastern end. at the ll'Tth meridian, and ran along the parallel of 4a tlegrees. 4 minutes, westward to the meridian of lilt degrees. 25 minutes.

At that point the line ran directly northward to latitude 7 degrees. 4 minutes and thence was deflected westward to the llt-th meridian, forming the small insert above referred to. It was after the signature treaty of Paris before the fact was discovered that in laying down these boundaries th- commissioners had excluded the Islands of Cibitu and Cagayen. It was disclosed by the visit to that part of the archipelago of the United States steamship Concord. The commander of the vessel landed on Cibitu.

ami was cordially received by the reigning Datol. who promptly hoisted the stars and stripes and announced himself under the protection of the United Fu.tes. Attention being attracted to that quarter, the Spanish government soon discovered the defect in the boundary line, and t.iroush the Duke tl'Areos, set up a claim to the state department for the possession of the islands. The department took the ground BUCKLEY CASE OYER JUDGE WISLIZENUS HOLDS THAT SHE COMMITTED NO OFFENSE. CARONDELET CASE UP AGAIN.
