FINAL TERMS l0 grill“ Gession of the Phili'mine Islands 1 Demanded. STATION IN THE CAROLINES Twenty Million Dollars Offered in Return. An Answer Wanted by November 28. Refusal of Senor Moutcro Rios to Can- tiuue the Negotiations. Paris, Nov. 22.—The Spanish and. American peace commissions met in joint session at two o’clock yesterday afternoon. The Americans, declared that the United States must have the entire Philippine archipelago, and, for a treaty cession of the islands, the Am- ericans tendered to Spain twenty mil- lion dollars. November 28 is fixed as the date 'on which the United States commission desires a definite response to yester- day’s propositions and all other sub- jects in issue here. The Americans refuse to arbitrate article three of the peace protocol bearing upon the future disposition and control of the Philippine archipel- ago. It was declared that it was the pur- pose of the United States to maintain in the Philippine islands an “open door" to the world’s commerce. 0n the terms named the‘ United. States proposes a mutual relinquish- ment of all claims for indemnity, na- tional or personal, subsequent to the outbreak of the last Cuban insurrec- tion. It was also announced that the Uni- ted States desire to treat of the relig- ious freedom of the Caroline islands, as agreed upon between the United States and Spain in 1886, and also of. the. acquisition of one of the Caroline islands for an American naval station, and of cable landing rights at other places in Spanish‘jurisdiction, and the revival of certain Spanish-American treaties as heretofore in force. The memorandum of the Amerrcan commission embodying the above pro- position is long and was not read in full. The vital portions, however, were communicated verbally to the Spanish commissioners in practically these terms. The fact was cited that, the propo- sal presented by the American com- missioners in behalf of their govern- ment for the cession of the Philippines to the United States having been re- jected by the Spanish commissioners, and the counter proposal of the latter for the withdrawal of the American- forces from the islands and the pay- ment of an indemnity by the United States to Spain having been rejected by the American commissioners, the latter, deeming it essential that the present negotiations, already greatly protracted, should be brought to an early and definite conclusion, now begr ged to present a, new proposition em-, bodying their concessions, which for the sake of peace their government would, under the circumstances, be willing to tender. The memorandum stated that the government of the United States is un- able to modify the proposal heretofore made for the cession of the entire archipelago of the Philippines, but the American commissioners are authoriz- ed to offer to Spain, in case the cession should be agreed to. the sum of $20,- 000,000, to be paid in accordance with the terms to be fixed in the treaty of peace. The memorandum then states that, it being the policy of the United States to maintain in the Philippines an open door to the world’s commerce, the Am- erican commissioners are prepared to insert in the. treaty now in contempla-j tion a stipulation to the effect that.‘ for a term of years, Spanish ships and merchandise shall be admitted into Philippine ports on the same terms as American ships and merchandise. ‘ The American commissioners are al-; so authorized and are prepared to in-- sert in the treaty, in connection with the cession of territory by Spain to the United States, a provision for the mu- tua.1 relinquishment of all claims for indemnity, national and individual, of every kind, of the United States against Spain, and of Spain against the United States, that may have aris- en since the beginning of the late Cu- ban-insurrection and prior to the con- cmsl'on of the treaty of peace. Next f'olloWed the terms nearest ap- proaching to a formal ultimatum to Spain. The United States commissioners ex- pressed the hope that they might re- ceive from the Spanish commissioners on or before Monday, the 28th day of the present month, definite and final acceptance of the proposals made as to the Philippines, in connection also with the demands as to Cuba, Porto Rico, and the other Spanish islands of the West Indies, and Guam, in the form in which these demands have been provisionally agreed to. In this event it would be pOSSible for the joint commission to continue its sessions and proceed to the considera- tion and adjustment of other matters, including those which, as subsidiary and incidental to the principal~ provis. ions, should form part'of the treaty of peace. ; It was at this juncture that the Attic ericans notified the ‘Spaniards that freedom of the Caroline“ islands, as they desired to treat of the religious freedom of the Caroline islands, as agreed [to twelve years ago, also of the release of political prisoners now held; by Spain in- connection with the insur-; rections in Cuba and the Philippine is-‘ lands, also of the taking over of the; island of liuszils or Ualan, in the Caro-‘5 tints. for a telegraphic and naval star: 'z,"~‘.’= of cable station rights at' 2.: , . cuts in Spain’s jurisdictionj amfl' the renewal of certain- trea, . ously in force between! the U3_.-.r.i States and Spain, and! which may have lapsed or been vitiam' ted by war. ' 7 After these declarations were made. the meeting was adjourned until Wfid-, nesday. I The president of, the Spanish com- mission, Senor 'Montero Rios, mop; wards refused to continue the negotls.; lions. . The peace Soleii, reviewing at length the: negotiations, says: 0 I _ _____ ...'__._-.__'J 5.--... ... ......-_.._ “How~ miserable" is the fate Iof our . Spanish neighbors.- American rapaci‘ty' has not left them an inch of the terri- tory they have possessed in ‘America since the time of Colt-nubus, or in Oceania since Magellan. But that is not the worst of their misfortune. Their whole edifice of political economy and administration is going to pieces. Their parliamentary parties, which, more- over, never had strong root, are com- pletely disorganized and no one dares assume the responsibility of power. The present ministry remains because no one wishes to replace it. But it is almost powerless before the ills which threaten the country." Touching'the fate of the Spanish sol- diers who are now returning to a life bf idleness, the Soleil says: “If they employ their leisure in con- spiring no one can reasonably be as- tonished.” The Petit Bleu says: “Spain is be- coming resigned at the idea of giving the islands up, and the Cortes will understand and approve of the inevi- table sacrifice." ‘ The Figaro declares that Spain will give in because she is powerless to do otherwise. Reported Withdrawal Discredited. Washington, D. 0., Nov. 22.—The re- port of Spain withdrawing from the peace negotiations is discredited at the White House. It is entirely contrary to disDatches received at the state department yes- terday. There were no dispatches at the state department and had an important oc-_ currence taken place Secretary Hay would have been at once notified. Everything was proceeding satisfac- torily, the dispatches stated, and an agreement would be reached. The president was not in the least worried over the report, and continued to receive visitors up to 1.30, and then went to work on his message. Secretary Alger, after getting a. copy of the Associated Press bulletin, went over to the White House and read it to the president. This was the first Mr. McKinley knew of it. A cabinet member stated that he did ‘not believe the story because all offi- cial information showed that the ne— gotiations were progressing favorably, and while a final agreement was not expected. at once, he thought it would be brought about during the remainder of this week. ‘ He said that in all probability the story was started by an over-zealous correspondent, who, seeing the com- missioners break up after a short ses— sion, jumped to the conclusion that the Spanish commissioners had with- drawn. Gen. Schofield’s Views. Washington, D. 0., Nov. 22.—Lieuten~ ant General Schofield called on the president at the executive mansion yesterday afternoon. In speaking of the Paris negotiations, the general said: “I do not believe that Spainfivill sub- mit except by a display of 'force by the United States. She cannot afford to, according to her own argument. She has mortgaged the Philippine is- lands for debt, and they therefore do not belong to her, consequently she cannot place herself in the position of giving away that which she herself has not a clear title to. She will have to be forced, as was the case inCuba. This is my view of the present situa- tion." A. " LC’ 3 l‘iF [‘I‘ARIA TERESA. The in"... .1 motioned and Rapidly «Lung to Pieces. Nassz‘zn ."n'.

The cruser lnfanta Maria Teresa has been abandoned. She is going to pieces rapidly and her contents are floating out through different places on her sides. 2w: The Court of Inquiry at Norfolk. Norfolk. Va... Nov. 22.-A court of inquiry will convene at this navy yard to determine the officer .or officers re- sponsible for abandoning the Maria Teresa off Watling island while being towed from Cuba to Norfolk. The court, it is said, will also rec- ommend what, if any, proceedings shall be instituted against those re- sponsible. The court will consist of Captain Benjamin F. Day, who is a member of the examining and retiring boards; Captain John Sch‘ouler of the bureau of navigation, Commander B. F. Tilly and Captain Waller of the Marine Corps, the latter to act as judge advo- cate. Among those to be examined are those aboard the Vulcan, but as that vessel is still at Cat island, the inquiry "may have to be postponed until some future date. . Lieutenant Commander Harris will, no doubt, testify, and also the men on the Leonidas, which vessel was a con- voy to the ill fated ship. Anthracite lilining Activity. Scranton, Pa., Nov. 22.—Anthracite mining, which has been brisk during the last‘ two months, is now nearly at the height of activity. There was a considerable hindrance to the production for several weeks on account of the lack of cars, but this arouble has been largely overcome. The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Company is striving to mine twenty-eight thousand tons a day. The. larger part of this company's output is sent to the lakes. The men working on the coal trains are kept so busy that they make from . twelve to sixteen days’ overtime each month. Mexico Surrenders Temple. Washington, D. 0., Nov. 22.-—A tele? gram has been received from the state department from Minister Powell Clay- ton reporting that the government of. Mexico has acceded to the represents-- tions of. the United States for the sur- render to the United States authorities of Temple, the American citizen under arrest at Nogales, ’Montson charged with killing a Mexican in the state ul' Arizona.

Manila, Nov. 20.-—It is reported that Iloilo, capital of the island of Panay, is in the hands of the insurgents. The United States cruiser Charleston and the gunboat Concord have gone there. Three Filipino natives hired a car- riage Friday night and afterward be- came engaged in a dispute with the driver regarding the fare. Some members of the American mili— tary police tried to arrest the natives, but the latter resisted, and Sergeant Price of the Minnesota regiment was stabbed and killed, and three other American soldiers—Maher, Montgom- ery and Hoyt—were wounded. Maher shot one native dead. others were arrested. The Spanish cruisers Isla de Cuba and Isla de Luzon, which were sunk during the battle of Manila, have been refloated and docked at Cavrite. The gunboat McCullough has left Manila on her way home. The Philippine provinces have suf- fered from the severest typhoon in years. Malolos, headquarters of Agui- naldo, has been "damaged and many villages have been destroyed.- Merchants of this city have decided to establish a chamber of commerce, which by Spanish law they were pre- viously precluded from doing. The Spain’s Claim Disputed. Washington, D. 0., Nov. 21.——Through the state department Secretary Long has sent to the American peace com- missioners two reports concerning the situation in the Philippines for use in controverting the Spanish claim that Spanish sovereignty in the islands has continued intact. These reports werg submitted to Rear Admiral Dewey by Captain J. B. Cogh- lan, commanding the cruiser Raleigh, and Captain G. F. Wilde, commanding the cruiser Boston, who were directed to sail among the islands to ascertain the exact situation and to impress the natives with the strength of the United States. ‘ The Raleigh went to the northward of the island of Luzon. Captain Cogh- lan found the natives very suspicious, but at Corregidor island they cheerful- ly complied with the instructions tran- smitted through him by Rear Admiral Dewey to the insurgent chief there di- recting him not to fly the insurgent flag. ' 4 “At all places south of the Lingayen gulf,” he observes, “we found the offi- cers and natives most friendly—anx- ious, as they said, that the United States should maintain a protectorate over the island of Luzon and that trade relations should be established. There are no Spaniards from Cape Engano to Manila, except a few pris- oners.” . Captain Coghlan found that the frio ars, numbering about fifteen, of Sual. St. Isidro, and Dagupan, had been im- pressed into service by the insurgents, and were attending the horses of the insurgent ofiicers. So far as he‘ could learn they were made to feel their degradation. Captain W'ilde‘s voyage was through the islands to the soutwahrd of Luzon. He found that Spanish troops had been withdrawn to the city of Cebu from all parts of the islands of the same name, and that the natives'ot‘ Negros were in control of that island. At Palawan there were no insurgents, and there was a military force at Port Royalist of two hundred Indians, forty or fifty Spaniards and one piece of field artillery and one gunDoat of two hun. dred and fifty tons. Deadly Charges Removed. Washington, D. 0., Nov. 21.—A diffi- cult and dangerous operation was suc- cessfully accomplished at the navy yard Saturday by Ensign Sticht, in- spector of ordnance there, in removing the charges from a half dozen of the captured Spanish rifled guns brought to the yard on the Leonidas, having been recovered from the Teresa, Vis- caya and Oquendo. The breech plugs of these guns were rusted and the workers who loaded them on the Leonidas were afraid to attempt the dangerous task of unload— ing the guns in their condition, the ammunition being inclosed in a brass cartridge case with a primer in the rear and a percussion fuse on the point of the shell. It was found that in the case of three of the loaded guns the Spanish gun- ners in their haste had forgotten to remove the safety checks from the percussion fuses, so that even had the shells struck the mark they never would have exploded. New General Master Workman. Chicago, Nov.'21.—At the meeting of the Knights of Labor Saturday John W. Pa’rsons of New York was elected general master workman by a close vote over the present general master workman. Henry H. Hicks, who is also a New Yorker. J. D.

' '4 HARVARD BEATS YALE. Crimson Won for me First Time in Eight Years." Score 17— 0. New Haven, .Conn., Nov. 21.—-I—IarVo ard defeated Yale Saturday afternoon, 17 to 0, winning a glorious football vic- tory in a clean, fast game, aboundlng in brilliant plays, dramatic moments and unsullied by the 'sl'ightest vestige of unfair tactics. Success perched on the Crimson ban- ner through no lucky turn of fortune. The Harvard players proved them- selves to be masters of the game, ex-- celling in every department, and play- ing such football as was never before seen, and was well nigh marvelous, considering the miserable weather con- ditions. Every point was made by straight- forward, open tactics, and no fluke or luck contributed in any way to the re- sult. Harvard’s great speed of play, pow- er and concentration of attack, supe- rior kicking and splendid physical con- dition won the game for her easily. The Yale players fought with stolid pluck and at the end they rallied grandly out of sheer desperation, and finished strong. For the first time in eight long years a. Harvard team not only succeeded in defeating a Yale football eleven, but rolled up the largest score made in a ‘game between the two colleges since 1886. The Crimson crossed Yale’s goal line three times, kicking two goals and ending the game with seventeen points to their credit, while Yale's score was as blank as their faces. There was. considerable of the tradi- tional Yale grit shown throughout, but Harvard’s confidence increased as the game progressed, until the frequent scoring intoxicated her followers and the demonstration at the end broke all bounds. That the game could have been played under such fearful weather conditions and yet be marked by less than the average amount of fumbling, was indeed remarkablep and it was still more enjoyable, despite the same conditions, in that there were but few delays, no quarrels and the absence of questionable decisions and a clean, wholesome football game throughout. The rain, which had been pouring down for two days, continued through- out the entire game, but in spite of the weather fully sixteen thousand people witnessed the game. ‘ FILIPINOS IN EUROPE AGITATED. Aguiualdo Sends Word to Insist on Inde- pendence or Death. London, Nov. 21.-—There is much agi— tation among the Filipino representa— tives in Europe over the Philippine sit- nation. Agoncillo, the representative of Agui- naldo, who has been in Paris watching the proceedings of the peace commis- sions, has started for Washington, D. It is learned that on Wednesday last he called a meeting of all the Filipinos in Paris and London to meet him in Paris, when a committee was formed with the object of doing everything possible to induce France to recognize the so-called Filipino republic. A telegram was sent to Aguinaldu asking for instructions, and the follow- ing reply is said to have been receiv— ed: ' “Insist upon absolute independence. Otherwise fight to the death. We are all united and the government is pro- gressing smoothly. All the independ— end; tribes of the mountains are sub— ,mitting to Aguinaldo, and the chiefs are bringing in presents of gold;” The statements made by General Wesley Merritt in reply to the'appeal of the Filipino junta of Hong Kong to :the American people have caused in- dignation among the Filipinos. They are specially incensed at the suggestion that they would loot and ‘ at the idea of being governed as a colony. The Filipinos of Paris are sending a dispatch to President McKinley pro. testing against the assertions that have been made. Fenced Himself In. Lakewood, N. J., Nov. 21.—Georga Gould’s magnificent place here has be- come so much of an attraction that the public has taken an interest almost proprietary in it. In fact the estate has been so over- run With visitors that in self protec— tion Mr. Gould has been compelled to interpose a barrier. ‘\ He has built a wall, surmounted by an iron paling, twelve‘feet high alto- gether, and his lawns and flowers and trees and shrubbery are no longer at the mercy of careless persons, who have been tramping over everything green in sight. The new clock which the millionaire has placed over the front of his sta- bles strikes the .hours, half hours and quarters, and the clear, silvery tones can be heard a long distance away. Recently Mr. Gould bought five hun- dred acres of ground adjoining his place, and this is to be turned into a game preserve. It will be stocked with quail and pheasant at first. Larger game will be added next season. Postal Commission to Meet in Chicago. Washington, D. 0., Nov. 21.——The joint commission of the Senate and House which is looking into postal af- fairs will meet in Chicago to-day to take up that branch of the inquiry re- lating to the cost of transporting mall over the railways, rental of postal cars, etc. The commission consists of Senators Chandler, Wolcott, Allison and Faulk- ner, and Representatives Loud, Moo- dy, Fleming and Catching.

INTERESTING CLAIM MADE Miss Schley Went to Madrid as a Delegate of the Woman’s Internationalleague for Peace. Advised Government to Give Up a Coallng Station or Two, but Depreca- tes Our Demands. > Milwaukee, Nov. 21.———Miss Jessie Schley, a relation of the admiral, who went to Spain “~ as a delegate of the Women’s International League for Peace, in an effort to bring the war to a close, has issued a statement to the American press in which she takes the credit of influencing Spain to sue for peace. In the course of her statement she says: “I reached Madrid as delegate of the- Women’s International League for Peace, and bearing the list of names and resolutions for her majesty, the Queen of Spain, on July 22. “I at once began visiting 'and con- ferring with prominent officials. On the 23d his excellency, the minister of state, Due de Almodovar del Rio, re~ quested me to put in writing the mat- ter I desired to convey to him..' I did so and sent it to him on the 25th. On that day or the following, I judged from the newspaper report, the queen's cabinet discussed this communication at their meeting, and that day (the 26th) Spain sued for peace. “The next day, the 27th, I was hur- ried out of Madrid, fearing a riot against me. when it should become known that Spain had made overtures of peace. It was feared the Caz-lists and Spanish jingoes might make trou- ble then, and they had already begu to look for me. - “Of course peace Would have come, Spain was beaten, but she was not ready to surrender then. She still wanted to fight for Havana and the Philippines. but I maintain the docu- ments I submitted to the minister of state decided her to sue for peace just then, and I believe you will find that the Spanish authorities bear me out in this. ‘ “Spain trusted me. She knew I lik- ed her noble and defenceless country; was of her religion and detested the war, considering it a disgrace to our country. “I advised her to give us a coaling station or two, though strictly speak- ing we should not take even that, as we had begun the war ‘in the name of humanity,’ but our government might need them, and we had been put to much expense. In short, I wrote such a strong appeal for peace I feared I might overdo it by my blunt state- ments, using the word “foolhardy,” etc. “I was certain my country would act honorably, so you can imagine 'my mortification and chagrin to find we are trying to grab all that we can. “Following this letter I shall have a storm of abuse, I know, from the jin- goas and the A. P. A35, who have al— ready written me so many insulting‘ letters but I defy one of them to show anyone who has made greater sacri- fices to maintain the honor of our grand country. “This is no time for party strife or bitter religious feeling if we would save our country. “Democrats and Republicans must act together. Possibly it was fortunate , . ‘ to quit Spain w1th her family and Dan the Republicans won in the last elec- tions, for among them are many hon- orable men who will maintain our na- tional honor, and the party that be- gan the war ‘in the name of humanityf will be able to finish it in the name of humanity and not disgrace us by mak- ing terms too difiicult for our con- quered foe." Anti-Expansionists Organize. Boston, Mass, Nov. 21.———The organ- izers of a movement against the an- nexation of the Philippines met in this city Saturday.

Paris, Nov. 21.—-The Rappel, in threatening Great Britain with French hostility in the future, says: “The blunders of Great Britain in the Fashoda question have irritated Europe and have excited the appetite of the United States. England and America can scarcely continue to agree. Canada is very tempting after Cuba, and then Jamaica, British Gui- ana and the Cape. A decade hence England will be caught between Eu- rope and the United States, and that day will be Great Britain’s death. Cuban Commission Coming.

It was understood that Mr. Root was the choice of Governor-elect Roosevelt to succeed Senator Murphy. The selection of Mr. Root is to fill the post left vacant by the Ceiling. of Colonel John Hay to a higher place. Mr. Root’s work in the campaign has endeared him to the organization. He was not anxious to go to the senate, but his friends have been zealous in his behalf. Mr. Root is a New Yorker. He was born in Oneida, February 15, 1845, in the town of Clinton. His father was Oren Root, profeSSor of mathematics in Hamilton College from 1849 to 1885. The son was graduated there in 1864. He was admitted to the practice of law and settled in New York city. From 1883 to 1885'he was United States district attorney for the south- ern district. In 1879 he was a candi- date on the Republican ticket for a. judgeship in the Court of Common Pleas. He was defewted. In 1886 he was chairman of the Republican coun- ey committee of New York. He -was counsel for Judge Hilton in the Stewart will case._'~He has been an active member and president of the Bar Association, and his fight for a 'clean judiciary in the last election will be remembered long.

He is one of the best known constitutional and international lawyers in the coun- try. Advance Sheets of Ester] asy’s Book. Paris, Nov. 21.—La Liberte published yesterday extracts from the advance sheets of the first part of Count Ester- hazy’s book entitled “L'Affaire Drey- fus," in which the writer declares him- self the “victim of Cavaignac" (recent- ly minister of war), whose enmity for him, he says, arises from the fact that their fathers were political 'enemies. Esterhazy reasserts that he was the tool of the general staff, that it was the general staff who always dictated his conduct, that by their orders he struck Lieutenant Colonel Picquart, and that it was the general staff who selected his seconds when he challeng- ed Picquart and furnished him with “exceptional and irregular means” of defending himself. He left France, he asserts, to “es- cape being assassinated or being driv~ en to suicide like Lieutenant Colonel. Henry.” Anoth er Abdication Story. London, Nov. 21.—-In regard to the future government of Spain it is again reported in diplomatic circles, and ap— parently with some weight, that there will be a change of dynasty, but a. peaceful change. The queen regent is said to be con- vinced of the hopelessness of her son ever reigning and upon the advice of the Emperor of Austria has decided that soon after the peace treaty is signed at Paris (and everyone now re- gards this as only a question of days) Carlos will be proclaimed king. Everything is reported to be already arranged and the army and clergy are alleged to be eager for the change. Ac- cording to the programme, Don Car- los, as soon as things are running smoothly, will abdica'te in favor of his son, Don Jaime. Still Discussing Reciprocity. Washington, D. C., Nov. 21.——The An- glo-American commission held no ses- sion Saturday, but the two sides held separate conferences for the purpose of arranging their data for the next joint session on Tuesday. Reciprocity continued to be the gen- eral subject of discussion, and it was understood that the lumber question was receiving considerable attention. It is probable that the free lists in the present tariff acts of Canada and the United States will be incorporated in any reciprocity agreement which may be made, and it .is pointed out by members of the commission that this will be important in giving these free lists a permanent form as parts of a treaty rather than a changeable form, as parts of the general stat- utes. ..
