Peace Delegates Final Answer to the Plan of the Spanish that the United States governor of Illinois Should Assume the Cuban Debt “’1“ 1:11: Guarantee the dictum 0! Funds 1 'aitl by Spain. Paris. Oct. 17.~—Th'e American and Spanish peace commissions to—day be- gan the third week of their labor here and any careful summary must disclose the fact-that the progress made has been accomplished chiefly by negative action and the attitude of the Ameri- cans. The first article of the protocol pro- vided that "Spain will relinquish all claim of sovereignty over and title to Cuba.” Naturally, after the prelimina- riesproviding methods of rocetlure and such rules therefor as w 1, neces- sazy, the joint sessions we hevoted to the Cuban article of the piotocol. ' 1‘3...turally, too, the Americans opened 111.11- case by the assumption that lit~ i .- or no action was necessary regard- 1’ .g Cuba, on the ground that its dis- '1 usition was definitely fixed by the terms of the protocol. Notwithstanding, at the meeting on Tuesday last the Spaniards submitted suggestions and propositions amount- ing to holding that the United States should take over all or part of the Cuban debt. The Americans, at their own session on Wednesday, took up the Spanish presentment and determined the formulation of the answer of the United States, on which the clerical force was busily engaged until the hour of the Friday session, the commission- ers in the meanwhile devising, ampli— fying and fortifying it. It may be distinctly said that with such light as 'it now has the United States commission will consistently and to the end refuse to assume all or any part of the Cuban debt. In the absence. of reasoning more cogent than ‘any yet advanced, the United States com- mission will declare that the Cuban debt represents treasure chiefly spent by Spain in suppressing insurrections and'posslbly in warring on the United :States. The Spaniards will be assured that "the United States has expended enor— mous sums, not to acquire Cuba, but Ito free it from disastrous conditions for rself-gov ernment. The Spaniards will, if indeed it has not already been done, have pressed upon them the fact that by the signa~ ‘ture of the protocol they utterly re- ?linquished all claim of sovereignty over :and title to Cuba. If they have not yet heard it, the Spaniards will hear the expression of American surprise that Spain, having so unconditionally and unequivocally surrendered Cuba, should now advance a claim or even a suggestion that the United States as- sume the debt of a territory which, though surrendered by Spain, was not sought for by the United States as a conquest prize, is not now a posses- sion of the United States, and which has been freed by the United States at a vast expense, for independence now, or when matured for self-government. Thus, possibly progress has been achieved negatively, for with the pres- ent light the Americans decline or will refuse the responsibility of a single pe- seta of the so— ~called Cuban debt. Spanish 5 impathizcrs and presuma- ble neutrals are even urging that the United States under the protocol are authorized only to hold Manila pending the consummation of a treaty, where- upon they shall withdraw fmm all ter- ritory save such as Spain might then cede directly. ' Apropos of this is an editorial in the Correspondencia of Madrid, the official Organ, without factional color, which was telegraphed here yesterday, saying that to well advised persons it is in- credible that there should be even dis- cussion as to whether after the signa- ture of the peace treaty. the rights of Spain regarding sovereignty over the Philippines should be brought into question, significantly adding that the “Americans are intransigeantsk dispos- ed to yield only points of detail and lit- tle disposed to accept, as Spain would. . arbitration by Germany or Russia." If the Americans here were willing which they are not ,to traverse these assumptions, they might simply point out the third protocol arti‘cle, reading “That the United States will occupy and hold the city, bay and harbor of Manila, pending the conclusion of a a treaty of peace, which shall determine the control, disposition and government of the Philippines." , Hunter Killed by Game Warden Paterson, N J., Oct. 17. ——James L. garne- warden of Perth Am— O‘Haledon, near here, Sat- of the gee—1.11111. met.

PAUL. He is Inquiring Into the '_ Indian Trouble. St. Paul. Minn., Oct. 17.-—Major Gen- eral Nelson A. Miles, commander-in- chief of the army, with his staff, ar- rived here Saturday from Omaha. In the course of the day he called on Gov- , ernor. Clough andtalked over the In- dian troubles at Leech lake. The general went thoroughly into the whole situation. \ General Miles also spent considerable time at Fort Spelling. A Walker, Minn., Dispatch says: "Indian Commissioner Jones and a number of correspondents arranged to go 011 the steamer Vera to the battle ground Off Beat island, and to the hos- tile camp for council with hostiles, but the lake was too rough. Mr. Jones wants to make another at- tempt to persuade Old Bug-Mah-Ge- Shik to surrenger. It is generally be— lieved here that the commissioner will not succeed. The Indians will hold a council at the agency, and Commissioner Jones will have another general council there on Wednesday, when a number of hos— tiles are expected to surrender. General Bacon is anxious to begin his campaign of subjection, and is con- vinced that it will require force to re- store peace. It is almost the universal belief here that active campaigning will be re- sumed before all the Indians wanted by Marshal O’Connor are secured. A Walker, Minn., dispatch to the Pio- neer Press says: “The Indians, including the two dele- gates from the hostile camp, have had their council with Commissioner Jones, but it is hard to see where any posi- tive progress has been made. In one respect, the authorities probably gain- ed an advantage. The Indians tried to consolidate all the collateral questions in one issue. The commissioner declined to allow it. He told the Indians plainly that if they would get together and agree as to what they really wanted he would endeavor to settle their grievances as satisfactorily as possible for the ma- jority under the law. But the men wanted by the marshal must be sur— rendered without any regard to t_he other questions. \ telegram to the KAISER HAD NARROW ESCAPE- Anarchists Plotted toKili King Humbert of Italy as “'13". London, Oct. 17.——The Alexandria cor- ;respondent of the Daily Mail, telegra- phing regarding the Anarchist plot against Emperor William, which was discovered on Friday, says that the plot against the kaiser is hourly'proven more important, each arrest disclosing new ramifications. The documents found disclose a plot to kill King Hum- bert already well matured. Fifteen persons, all Italians, have been arrested. The original plan was to throw a bomb of guncotton and ful- mlnate of mercury on Emperor Wil- liam's carriage in a narrow street of. Cairo. When the Egyptian trip was aban- doned elaborate arrangements were made by the conspirators to send con- federates to Jerusalem to carry out the plot during the dedication of the Ger- man Church of Our Redeemer. The Constantinople correspondent of the Times says that. the worn out war craft, patched up for the occasion, have proceeded to the Dardanelles to swell the naval escort of Emperor William, and twenty-four Turkish ofl‘icers have gone there on board of a. yacht. Emperor William ,on the Hohenzol- lern, is expected to reach the Darda- nelles this afternoon, and to arrive at Pera, where the. German legation is situated, on' Tuesday morning. CHINESE ENPEROR ALIVE. Prince Ching Says So on Behalf of the Tsun: li Xamen. Pekin, Oct. 17.—Piince Ching, on be- half of the Tsung-li-Yamen, has given Sir Claude Macdonald, the British min- ister, satisfactory assurances as to the health of the emperor. Prince Ching says that the empress dowager is not opposed to genuine re- form, but only to such violent and impracticable reforms as were hastily decreed. Her majesty will proceed on lines more adapted to Chinese condi- tions. . - is The Baptist mission at Sing— ngan- -fu, in the province of Shen- Si, has appeal- ed for protection.‘ The Pekin correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says that it is expected that the emperor will be formally deposed on Novmber 23, the birthday of the em- press dowager, and that Prince Jun, 9 boy of 13,. will be nominated as his successor. The Berlin correspondent of the Stan- dard says that the emperor was to :have taken refuge at the British em- bassy in Pekin, whence he would have issued a proclamation declaring the acts of the dowager empress void; but the plan was discovered and frustrat- ed. . _&—- Flt-st New erlg. in Fine Trim.

In the reCent explorations of Co- javn, "Tine Mysterious City of Honda ras,” by George Byron Gordon, many ancient tombs were opened. The lo- cation of these was strange and un. expectedflbeme-ath the foundations of courtyards and under the foundations of houses. They consist of small chambers of very excellent masonry, roofed, sometimes by means of the 1101'- izontal arch and sometimes by means of slabs of stone resting on the top of” the vertical walls. In these tombs one, and sometimes two, interments have been made. The bodies have been laid at full. length upon the floors The cerements had long since molded away, and the skel- etons themselves were in a crumbling condition and give little knowledge of the physical characteristics of the peo- ple, but one fact of surpassing inter. est came to light concerning their pri- vate lives, namely, the custom or . adorning their front teeth with-gems inlaid in the enamel and by filling. Although not all of the sets found have been treated in this way, there are enough to show that the practice was general, at least among the upper classes, for all the tombs opened, from their associations with prominent lhous-es, seemed to have belonged to people of rank and fortune. The stone used in the inlaylng was a bright green jadelte. A circular cavity about one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter was drilled in the enamel of each of the two front teeth of the upper row and inlaid with a little disk of jadcite cut to a perfect fit and secured by means of a. bright red cement—New York Journal. AN IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY. The WIdowJ‘ook the Affair Into Her Own Hands and Carried Ker Point. A rich widow in a town not far from Winter Harbor was making. ar- rangements for the marriage of her. daughter when the Methodist con- ference met in that town and twenty ministers came to attend it. She in- vited them all to the wedding, and, her pastor belonging to that denomination she expressed to him a wish that the ceremony be arranged so that they. could all participate. . The dominie thought the matter over and told her that he could devise no scheme by which her wish could be gratified. He did not see how the marriage ser- vice could be cut up into twenty-one segments, and furthermore—and he expressed it as delicately as possible— he did not think the "mem-bers of the Conference would consider it dignified to engage in “any such performance. As the widow was a person of great importance, he had to,tr~eat 'her ging- erly. She is the largest contributor to the support of the church, and the par- son expected a handsome fee for hitching her daughter to the most ell- gible young man in town. Hence he promised to consult with some of the brethren and see her later, but she did not wait fOr him. She took matters into her own hands and formed a plan that at least had the merit of ori- ginality. She went direct to the pre- siding elder, invited him to perform the ceremony and suggested that after he had pronounced the couple man and wife all the members of the Con- ference stand up in a row before the : pulpit and recite the Lord’s Prayer in unison. —Chica go Record.
