At the cabinet meeting today Secretary
Wilson submitted an elaborate stt of plans
for the new building for the tepsjrtment
of Agriculture. Considerable modification
of th plans submitted will lie necessary in
order to bring them within the cost pro
posed by congress.
Secretary Hay referred briefy to the
pending treaty looking to the acquisition
of naval stations In Cuba and the settle
ment of a title to the Isle of Pine a. As to
the naval stations It appears that the
treaty will b so framed as to permit of
the acquisition of the land in advance of
payment therefor, the question of price
to be settled hereafter. This is necessitated
by th fact that the Cuban government
proposes to acquire title from lndlviducj
holders and transfer the land to the fnited
Btates, and It is unable at thla time to
oorrertry estimate th value f th property
requlred.
