Washington. Dec. 7.—The cabinet meet
ing to-dav. largely devoted to n ilUcih
ft n of the question of coinage for the
r.'.mpf'liie l ands and as <i result it Is
pi-*able that ih** 8, rotary of War will
request a hearing on the subject before
one of the committees, of Congress.
Winy ;l the bi Inesn of the Islands Is
far'-acted In Mnl di) dollars, and army
>mm -.tries arid orhers stfppiiod with
i nit* 1 States money, are al time*; greatly
• mharrassed In making purchases from
the Filipinos by the fact that, knowing
nothin*; of our m nev <■*• Its value, the
latter often refuses to accept It.
Trs* t*ropo4ton v i* h m 1 to have met
with favor by h** .administration Is to pur
chase *l!ver buliiou ut the present market
price and coin It Uito distinctive dollars
having i gold value of about 50 certs
*ach. The**f> .dollars probably will contain
a little lees silver than the present stand
ard dollars. It Is hoped that by the ear
ly action of Congress the new coins may
he put Into circulation before a great
while.
Trie cabinet also dtscussed the House
bill revising the war revenue a t. All of
them think thnt the cut Is too derp and
agreeing that it would be unwise to make
