Merritt’S Report.
pd
Mr-
Receplion ot‘ the Arnericnn and Spanish
Commissions by President Faure. Pres.
ident liIcKiniey’s l‘hanks for French
Courtesies.
Paris, Oct. 5.~>—The American peace
commissioners devoted yesterday's ses-
sion to a conference with Major Gen-
eral Merritt, who arrived at the 0f-
fices of the commission at ten o’clock,
.just as our commissioners were assem—
bling. '
The session lasted until one o’clock
p. m. General Merritt gave the com-
missioners his personal views and those
of Rear Admiral Dewey, regarding the
geographical, physical, moral and po-
litical conditions prevailing in the
Philippine islands. His exposition of
his personal views and judgment about
the islands was ,not finished yesterday,
and he will meet the commission to-
day. .
President Montero Rios of the Span—
ish commission and his colleagues wei'e
busy yesterday with telegraphic and
other correspondence. The commis—
sioners denied themselves to all call-
ers. -
A newspaper, Le Petit Bleu, this
morning declares that it has authority
for the statement that it has been de-
cided that “an adjustment relative to
Cuba will be first discussed at the next
meeting, owing to incidents which have
recently taken place in the Philippine
islands.”
The same newspaper remarks that
Senor Rios yesterday “bought three
copies of a. work on international law
by one of our most eminent jurists."
The paper does not accept the view that
the work of the commission will be
concluded before December.
United ’States Ambassador Porter
will give a dinner in honor of the Am-
erican commission this afternoon. and
next week General Porter will give a
dinner in honor of both commissions at
the United States embassy.
The Spanish peace commissioners
were received at four o’clock by Presi-
dent Faure, at the Elysee Palace. The
members of the commission were pre—
sented by the Spanish ambassador.
Senor Leon y Castillo, and Senor Rios
expressed the gratification of the com-
mls'sion at meeting the president of
France.
At 4.45 p. m., immediately following
the reception of the Spaniards, the
members of the American peace com-
mission were received by' President
Faure at the palace.
General Porter met, the commission—
ers on the steps of -the Court of Honor,
and they proceeded to the Grand Salon,
Where General Porter-"presented, the
commissioners to the president. after
which Judge Day presented President
Faure with a cable message from
President McKinley. It Was dated Sep-
tember 30, and read as followsv ,
“On this occasion, when the-commie
sions of the United» States and Spain.
are about to assemble ‘at'the capital
of France to negotiate peace, and when
the representatives of this government
axle rebeiving the hospitality and good
will" the republic, I beg to tender
you 'most friendly personal greeting
and the assurances of my grateful ap-
preciation of your kind courtesies to
the American commissioners.”
President Faure, in replying, courte- i
ously expressed his apprezzlation of thc
cordial sentiments uttered and heartily .
reciprocated them. ' i

San Juan, Island of Porto Rico, Oct.
5.—-The transport P. de Satrustegue ar- ‘
rived here on Sunday from Spain. She
sailed yesterday with troops.
The transport l-sia de Panay sailed
for Spain in the morning with 1,200
troops on boa-rd.
It is rumored that Captain General I
Macias will leave here on the Alicante,
which is expected daily at this port:
from Havana. l
The Spanish troops are evacuating,
Caguasay, and Arecibo was deliveredi
over to the Americans yesterday.
The troops are closing in rapidly and
the Spaniards are concentrating in

lies of odlcers has resulted in many
marriages of departing officers and offi-
cials. .
Government for Porto Rico.
Washington, Oct. ESE—The report of
Major General Wilson upon the politi-
cal, social, educational and financial
conditions of Porto Rico, is in the
hands of the president, who is giving
it careful consideration as his time al-
lows, in order to gather information
for his recommendations to Congress
in the matter of the government of that
island. The early evacuation of the is-
land by the Spanish and its complete
control by the United States makes it
important that a. system of government
for it should be inaugurated at an early
day.
Trad cemen'e Bank Cloned.
New York, Oct. 5.—The Tradesmens’
National Bank, at West Broadway and
Beach street (Wool Exchange build-
ing), did not open for business yester-
day morning.
As a. result of an examination Mon-
day evening by the clearing house com-
mittee, the bank examiner, W. H. Kim-
ball, took possession of it, pending the
receipt of instructions from the comp-
troller of ,the currency.

London, Oct. 5.—A special dispatch
from Bombay states that a. ferry boat

GENERAL GARCIA’S ERRAND "
He Is Sent Out to Pacity the Cuban
Insurgents. ' ’ -
Santiago de Cuba, Oct. 5.-—General
Calixto Garcia, his son, Carlos Garcia,
and three or four other prominent Cu-
bans, have left for the interior to en—
deavor to allay the restlessness among
the Cuban armed forces, which is daily
becoming more menacing to the peace
of the province. 3 ,
The party has received rations from
the American commissary, and it is
said by persons whose sources of in-
formation are good that General Gar-
cia goes as an American commissioner.
The party has rations for a three
weeks’ trip, and will. Baep in commu-
nication with General Lawton
General Wood. ‘ '
General Garcia. believes that through
his great personal influence he can al-
lay the popular clamor against the
Americans. His plan is to visit Guan—
tanamo, Jiguani, Gibara, Baracoa, El
Cobre and other places where large
bodies of Cuban soldiers are congre-
gated and tell these men of a plan he
and
has decided upon of going to the United
”States later in the fall to endeavor to
induce the Washington government to
secure a Cuban loan sufficiently large
to pay them some of the money due
them for their three years’ service in
the field. . ,
General Lawton and General Wood
have assurances from good! sources
that the payment of $1,500,000 to the
Cuban troops throughout the island
will satisfy the many recalcitrants and
cause them to return to their homes
and go to work.
FALSE REPORTS ABOUT GEN. MILES
Not Summoned Before the Commission
as Reported."
Washington, Oct. 5.—It is a mystery
to General Miles and all his friends
how any report should have got out
representing that he had been called
before the war investigating commis-
sion, and had tried to keep out of the
way.
Nothing of, the. kind has occurred.
He had never been summoned or even
invited formally. If he were summon-
ed it Would not be either his place or
disposition to put any obstacles in the
way. If the president wants him to go
before the commission he will go, as a
matter of course.
Meanwhile, the circulation of reports
putting the general in the attitude of a
recusant witness, and representing
members of the commission as repre-
senting themselves in condemnatidn of
his course, seem to be merely parts of
a carefully calculated scheme to make
trouble for him with the commission,
and discredit him with the country.
They are on a par with the stories set
on their travels a few weeks ago,,in
which the president Was represented as
proposing to degrade General Miles by
abolishing his present official position.
This report failedof its effect because
there was neither ,fact nor law to .s— -
port it, but it was evidently planhed»
simply to make mischief.
THE YELLOW‘ FEVER

Bippi. .
New Orleans,.0ct.. 5.—Dr. Souchon
has announced the following as. .,the
daily report of yellow fever for Louis-
iana: , » '
New Orleans—Six new cases and one-
. death.
Franklin—Twelve new cases and two
deaths.
,Lutcher—Two new cases.
Baton Rouge—Four new cases and
one death.
Wilson—Twenty new cases and one
death.
Jackson, Miss, Oct. 5.—On1y one new
case of yellow fever developed here

have been exposed. Other reports are
as follows:
Oxford—Sixteen new cases and ore
death.
Water Valley-Two new cases.
Woodville—Two new cases.
Port Gibson—Two new cases.
Minister Wu at the State Department
Washington, Oct. 5.—The Chinese
minister was at the state department
yesterday and had a. short talk with
' Secretary Hay. The secretary said af-
terwards that there was no change in
the condition of Chinese affairs so far
as he knew, and no late official dis-
patches.
It was thought that the minister's
call might have had some relation to
the critical condition of affairs in Chi-
na, and the dispatch of American war-
ships to American ports. r...-‘,.
But Mr. Wu said his visit had no con-
nection with the general situation in
China, but related to pending routine
affairs. He had received an official dis-
patch, but it brought no news concern-
ing the reported death of the emperor
or of the disturbed condition of the for-
eign element at Pekin.
Forty Seventh for Porto Rico.
It was anounced at the Army Build.
ng yesterday thatthe Forty-seventh
egiment of Brooklyn, which 'has been
doing garrison duty at Fort Adams.

[Porto Rico, and would leave on either
the Manitoba or Mississippi, probably
Wednesday next. .

Fat Men’s Cluhl. "' 1
There is sympathy in fat. It has a
sympathy which those 'su‘perabundant-
ly gifted in the way of adipose do not.
receive from those of whom Julius
Caesar called the “lean and hungry."
but which is bestowed in proportion
to- the necessity, by all and sundry who
are of the more generous and volumin-
ous proportibns, while it overflows,
even as the milk of hum-r kindness,
from those approaching the Falstaffian
size. -
Nearly everywhere these more or less
unwieldy mortals have formed them-
selves into‘ clubs for common enjoy-
ment, and it may be for mutual sym-
pathy, and the comparing of notes as
to their increase in size, for we may be
sure, that though the outside world is
very infrequently permitted to pene-
trate into the arcane of these meeting
places, a scale is one of the chief arti-
cles of furniture.
Paris has a Fat Man’s Club, which is
called “Les Cent Kilos,” a. title which
sufficiently designates the object of the
institution. No one is admitted until
he can turn the scale at that very re-
spectable weight.
Vienna, too, has a Fat Man’s Club.
So has New York,- and so, indeed, have
several other cities.
At times, like the clown cricketers,
the members of these various clubs
show their agility and exhibit their
bonhomie by festivities, in which they
permit their friends to participate.
Such an exhibition, indeed, there has
been of the Paris Fat Man’s Club, in
which these good people indulge in
such “violent delights” as dancing and
a walking match.

The Missionary's S‘o‘crot. .
The Scatter—Why do'you mission-
aries make such great efforts to train
the heathen to wearing clothes? Are
dresses and bonnets a. necessary part
of religion?
The Missionary—No; but nothing
makes a woman come to church regu-
larly so well as knowing that the oth-
er women will be there in new bon-
nets.—Clncinnati Enquirer.
