REPLY TO BE GIVEN FRIDAY,
A W'I-irlcn Statement l’rrsmfled at Paris
1 North
, Captain Howell the Sixth Ohio and the
by Our Commisdoners. The Debt tube
Assumed Only Where It Represents:
Public Improvements.
Paris, Nov. 1.—The American peace
commissioners, each of them carrying
a. portfolio containing records and per- 1’
sonal memoranda, left their headquar-
ters in the Continental Hotel for the
meeting with the Spanish commission-
ers, at the foreign office, just bchIe
two o ’clock 3 esterday afternoon.
The president of the Spanish commis-
sion,Sen61 Montero Rios, whose health
at one time was so precarious as to
thieaten an indefinite postponement of
the sessions of the commission, had so
improved that he was able to attend
the meeting.
He arrived at the foreign office in a
closed carriage, with his colleagues,
just after the Americans.
The American commissioners presen-
ted a written expression of the purpose
of the United States to take the entire
group of Philippine islands and to as-
sume such proportion of the Philippine
debt as has been spent for the benefit
of the islands or their inhabitants, in
public works, improvements and per~
manent betterments.
It was also set forth that the United
States would not assume any part of
the Philippine debt which had been in-
curred by Spain for the furtherance of
military or naval operations to quell
insurrections of the natives. .
After the presentation of the state-
ment the session was brief and unev-
entful, and an adjournment until Fri-
day was taken, to give the Spaniards
time to formulate a reply.
Washington, Nov. 1,—The advices
from Paris to the effect that the United
States peace commissioners have de—
manded the cession to the United
States of- the entire Philippine group is
in line with the instructions that have
been issued to the representatives of
the United States. Up to a. very re-
cent date the United States commissio~
ners had no precise instruction upon
this vital point.
Before they departed from Washing-
ton a. majority of their number lean-
ed towards a. restriction of the de-
mands as to the Philippines. But since
then the president has become con—
vinced that there is a. great popular
demand for the annexation to the Uni-
ted States of the whole Philippine
group, and he is disposed to defer to
that sentiment.
Besides, there is ground to believe
that, in an unofficial manner, the com'-
missioners have satisfied themselves
that the difficulties in the way of an-
nexation, so far as ,they depend upon
the will of the natives, have been very
much exaggerated.
It cannot be learned definitely what
money consideration is to pass with
the title to the Philippines. Indeed,
there is reason to believe that even the
United States peace commissioners
have not yet been able to fix the am—
ount exactly.
The Klondike Gold Fields.
San Francisco, 0211., Nov. 1,—1ce was
making on the Yukon and there was
thin ice at Dutch Harbor when the
steamer Portland, which has arrived
here, sailed on October 11. At least a
dozen river steamers are stuck on sand
bars in the Yukon. and all will proba-
bly be held all winter.
The steamer Dawson City is a total
wreck.
The Herman and Tacoma are stuck
such perilous positions that when the
ice breaks up they may be ground to
pieces.
All the treasure on the steamer Port-
land was one box of gold dust and nug-
gets, consigned to the Alaska Commer-
cial Company.
Its value was not made known, but
it is not believed to exceed ten thou-
sand dollars.
Several returning miners were on the
vessel, but they carried their treasure
in the form of drafts, and were reti-
cent regarding the‘ amount.
New French Cabinet.
Paris, Nov. 1.—'"he new cabinet is

Appolntmetns Held Void.
New York, Nov. 1.—Comptroller Co-
ler has received from Secretary Mc-
Aneny of the Civil Service Reform As-
sociation a request that he refuse to
issue salary warrants for 930 city em-
ployes, appointed since July 1, under
the rules promulgated by the civil ser-
vice board on March 5.
t is the contention of the Civil SeIr-
vice Reform Association that, by im.-
plication, the recent decision of the
court of appeals holds that all of these
appointments are void.
Head On Collision.
Providence, R. 1, Nov. 1.--Two Chalk-
stone avenue electric cars met in a
head on collision in Pleasant valley
Monday afternoon, the accident result-
ing in injury to the motormen that
may be fatal in either case, and seri-
ous injur yto half a dozen other per-
sons. Both the cars were completely
wrecked.
Emperor’s Journey Cut. Short.
Jerusalem, Nov. 1.—The Emperor and
Empress of Germany are curtailing the
visit to the Holy Land. They have
abandoned their trip to Jericho, owing
to the European complications, and it:
is also believed that they will not go
to Syria.
WORK OF INQUIRY BOARD.
Examination of Camp and Hospital Still
Going On.
Knoxville, Nov. 1.—-The members of
the war investigating commission, who
reached here Sunday, started early Yes-
terday upon the investigation of Camp
Poland near this place.
They visited the geneml hospital and
the Fourth Tennessee regiment togeth-
er, and then separated for the work in
I the other commands, General McCook
taking the Second Ohio and Third
Carolina, General Wilson and
First West Virginia, and ex—Govern-
: ors Beaver and W'oodbury the Thirty--
first Michigan and Sixth Virginia.
It was evident from the first that
there would be comparatively little to
do, the camp being new and well 10-
: cated.
More time was spent at the hospital
than elsewhere.
dred and fifty patients there, many of
them suffering from typhoid fever, but
it is claimed that the fever was im-
ported. ‘
The commissioners showed much in-
terest in the report of three deaths last .1
Saturday among the colored patients of
the North Carolina regiment. Two of
them were unexpected by the surgeons
in charge, as the men were not consid-
ered seriously ill.
They seemed of the opinion that two
had died of fright. at. seeing their com-
rades expire.
There were some complaints among
the troops of the absence of stoves, and
some of the soldiers confessed a desire
to get home, but otherwise they seem-
ed well satisfied.
There was a. review of the troops here
yesterday. The commissioners will vis—
it every camp before hearing any testi-
mony that may be offered concerning
it.
They concluded their work here last
night and left for Lexington, Ky.
Dr. Conner, General Dodge and Cole-
nel Sexton are in Lexington, having
gone there direct from Chattanooga.

WORKING ON ANNUAL MESSAGE.
The President Will Exercise Great Care
in Its Preparation.
Washington, Nov. 1.—President Mc-
Kinley has commenced formal work on
his annual message to Congress. The
president realizes that -he has an ex-
ceedingly important state paper to
draft and he fully understands that it
will be scrutinized more closely, per-
haps, than any similar document that
has emanated from the W'hite House
during the past half century.
He has before him the data from the
annual reports of the cabinet and bu—
reau officers, and he will proceed to
cull from them such information as
will guide him in treating of the busi-
ness affairs of the government.
In consequence of his work upon the
message the number of callers: has
been greatly reduced. It was stated at
the executive mansion-that while the
president does not intend to deny him—
self to all visitors while he is engaged '
in the preparation of the message, he
will be obliged to deny himself to the.
general run of callers who flood the
corridor day after day. Cabinet offi-
cers, members of Congress and those
whose business require a personal in —
te1 view was received as usual at the
convenience of the president.

Mrs. Washington A. Roebling will give
a luncheon to the delegates at Delmoni—

The Case of Capt. Carter,
Washington, Nov. 1.—It is expected.
that the case of Captain Carter of the
engineer corps will be disposed of this
week.
The papers in the case are now with
the president and have received his
careful consideration.
The friends of Captain Carter have
petitioned the president for a hearing
to present some statements as to facts
and law in the case.
This request has been granted by the
president, and he will hear the case
during the week.

London, Nov. 1,—Helen Faucit (Lady

from S1111 Francisco Zir-nsked the gov-
ernment authorities for three cats to
take to Maniifi. Probably the trio of
American felines are new teaching
Yankee habits to their misguided fel-
lows of the islands. for it was Major
General Merritt’s intention to send
rthem ashore when he landed. The
cats came from the commissary depot
in San Francisco, and their piogeni-

It is not generally known, says the
San Francisco Chronicle, that the gov-
ernment spends several thousands of
dollars annually for the maintenance
of cats, but the accounts of the United
States depot commissaries prove it.
In every storehouse there are from
one to five of the animals, and their
‘rations are provided as carefully and
regularly as those of any of the gal.

They are not fed on scraps. nor are
.their individual tastes disregarded, us
are those of the enlisted men. but
they are allotted so many pounds of
choice beef or any other delicacy their
palates may desire. Of course they
may have as much game as they wish,
and the store'houses' seldom fail to fur-
nish an unlimited supply of rats and
mice. That the cats save many times
their cost of support is well known,
as such supplies as crackers, cheese,
bacon, flour and meal are much sought
after by the rodents. .
Some time ago a new attache of the
warehouse procured a terrier and in-
stalled him in the territory of “The
Colonel,” who is the father of the ani-
mals Major General Merritt took with
him. The next morning the dog was
