N0 RUPTURE AT PARIS
Yet Spain Refuses to Give Up the
Philippines.
OUR GOVERNMENT IS CALM
Discussion of the Question by the Commis-
sioners in Joint Session To-day. An Ad-
journment Until Next; Thursday. No
Ultimatum to Be Presented.
Paris, Nov. 5.-—The twopeace com-
missions met at two o’clock yesterday
afternoon. The Americans were aware
before the session opened that the
Spaniards would decline their proposal
made last Monday to take the entire
Philippine archipelago, and pay the
debts actually incurred by Spain for
the benefit of the islands.
The joint session lasted two hours.
The Spaniards, as expected, refused
the American proposition, but the ne-
gotiations were not broken off.
While it is believed that no formal
counter proposition was made, there
was a-discussion of the Philippine ques-
tion outside the lines of the American
proposals. The commission then ad-
journed until next Tuesday.
A statement was printed here with
much display yesterday morning to the
effect that at yesterday’s joint session
of the peaCe commissions the Ameri-
cans were to insist upon a complete
surrender of Spain’s sovereignty over
the Philippine islands, and that in the
event of the Spanish commissioners re-
fusing to agree to this, Judge Day, the
president of the American commission,
acting under instructions from Wash-'
ington, was to present an ultimatum
to the Spaniards.
It was further alleged that thos
seeming haste is due to a desire to set-
tle the negotiations before the election
in the United States takes place.
Reference is made to these allega—
tions in View of the fact that they may
have also been circulated in the Uni-
ted States, although it was known here
that they were untrue.
No ultimatum is contemplated. The
two commissions are consideling an
open question, and the Americans ex—
pect patiently to weigh all the points
involved and carefully to consider the
arguments of the Spaniards.
The Gaulois declared that it had
been informed on absolutely reliable
authority that Spain would refuse to
discuss the unconditional surrender of
the Philippine islands.
Spain, the paper says, has made par-
ticular reserves concerning the reten—
tion of the Philippine islands, and the
Spanish minister of foreign affairs, the
Duke Almodovar de Rio, had, himself,
at the time of signing the peace pro-
tocol, stipulated that the island of Lu—
zon alone should remain occupied by
the American troops while the peace
negotiations were in progress, and that
Spain would resume sovereignty over
the archipelago as soon as a more lib-
eral form of government for the is-
lands should have been decided upon.
The Fronde says: “The claims of the
United States on the Philippine islands
are looked upon with disfavor at St.
Petersburg. The powers might, in the
case of America proving too obstinate
on this point, be provoked to pro-
test.”
The Evenement says: “Your money
or your life!” is the attitude taken by
America in regard to Spain. The latter
having no money, offers Porto Rico and
the abandonment of Cuba, and thinks
she has thus discharged her ransom.
“Pardon me,’ answers Jonathan, ‘you
yet have the Philippine islands, which
are only an incumblan cc to you. I will
relieve you of them. Why? Because,
with Fontaine, I have the strongest
reasons for so doing.”
Madrid, Nov. 5.—The Imparcial yes—
terday, commenting upon the peace ne-
gotiations in Paris. says:
“If the United States had shown in
the protocol their intention to keep the
Philippine islands, the matter would
not have taken the course it did. Spain
has never considered the Philippines as
lost, nor has she desired their loss.
On the contrary, he: intentions were
shown by her facinm the anger of Ger—
many on the question of the Caroline
islands.
lost her place among civilized peoples.
and henceforth will only count as the
most numerous and opulent of hordes.“
‘Vashington Awaits Results.
Washington, Nov. 5.—The adminis-
tration is awaiting results from th’
peace commission with equanimity in
the realization that he government is
perfectly well prepared for any turn
the negotiations may take. The navy,
especially, is in a state of prepared-
ness, should it com: to a resumption
of hostilities, far in advance of its con-
dition at the outbreak of the war.
One by one all the splendid fighting
machines of the North Atlantic squad—
ron, which had been brought north at
the earliest moment, were docked,
cleaned and thoroughly refitted at the
New York and Nrrz'olk navy yards.
Their ammunition supplies were re-
plenished, and they are now, with pos—
sibly one or two exceptions, ready for
instant service in almost any quarter
of the globe.
Rear Admiral Dewey has taken con-
siderable precautions in the cases of
his own vessels, having dispatched
them one by one to the big British
docks at Hong Kong, where they have
been placed in good condition.
William to Catholics.
Jerusalem, Nov. 5.-——Emperor William
in visiting the Hospice of St. John and
replying to the directors’ remark that;
the building stood under the shadow of
the emperor, said:
“'Iihis shadow is cast by the same
black and white erman shield which is
stretched over the Catholics in. the far
east, who sacrifice their lives and shed
their blood in propagating the gospel;
To protect them my brother is now
in those regions with the mailed power '
of the imperial navy.”

:WHAT A DEVOTED WIFE WILL DO.
Portugal’s Queen Becomes Doctor to Save
the King.
Marie, Queen of Portugal, is a doc-
tor of medicine. She is the only wo-
man of royal blood in the world who
has achieved such distinction.
Five years the queen devoted to the
study of medicine. She had the ablest
physicians in Portugal for Bistructors.
Every moment of time which she
could call her own was given to
study.
Behind this history of the scientific
labors of the queen is a pretty love
story. It was not love of sciences,
but love of her husband ‘which has
been the incentive to her work.
The Princess Manic Amelie was the
daughter of the Comte de Paris. She
married blond, good natured Carlos,
and then straightaway 'fell in love
with her husband. Their romantic at-
tachment is one of the prettiest sto-
ries ever chronicled of royalty.
Soon after the marriage King Car—
los, already stout, became corpulent
to a painful degree. The formation
of fat about the heart became highly
dangerous. The doctors could not
agree about the treatment. The king
travelled about to many spas and
used all of the obesity cures, but
without avail.
The devoted queen, meanwhile, was
his devoted and constant companion.
Finally, becoming disgusted with the
physicians, she determined to become
one herself.
There are many ludicrous stories
told of the queen’s first experiments.
She pressed the entire court into ser-
vice as patients.
The queen has done more to restore
her husband to health than any of
the great specialists to who-m he re-
sorted.
Queen Amelie is one of the royal
European beauties. She is iunnenscly
popular with her subjects. \Vllen she
went as a bride to Lisbon she in-
fused new life and spirit into the
sleepy old town. She organized fairs
and entertainments for the poor. The
court circle became noted for its bril-
liant ga-yety.—New York lVorld.

that the game of war is hedged round
by as many restrictions as a boxing,'

These regulations. which are under
the sanction of all the civilized coun-
tries of the world,~are designed to in-
sure fair play for the combatants.

Put to the Proof.
“Yes. darling,” he said. in tones of
deep tenderness. “I would do anything
to show my love for you.”
“All,” sighed tho. gentle maiden,
“that's what all men say when‘they
are striving to win a woman's heart!”
“Put me to the proof!" he exclaimed.
in wild passionate tones; "put me to
the proof! Test mo, and see if I fail!
Set me any task within the bounds of
possibility, and it shall be performed!"
”Ah,” she murmured, “if I could
only believe you!”
“Put me to the test. Say to me. ‘Do
this or that,’ and it shall be done.”
“Then I will put you to the test.”
“Ah,” he exclaimed, cxultnntly, “you
shall behold the height, the depth, the
length, the breadth. the circumference
of my love! What is the test?”
The maiden" dropped her eyes, a
smile dimpled the corners of her
mouth, and, bending over the youth at
her feet, she. whispered:
“Marry some other girl.”—Tit-Bits.
“’hy Do We Yawn?
There can be little doubt that one
of the objects of yawning is the exer—
cise of muscles which have been for
a long time quiescent, and the accel-
eration of the blood and lymph flow
which has in consequence of this qui-
escence become sluggish. Hence its
frequency after one has remained for
some time in the same position—for
example, when waking in the morn-
ing.
Cooperating with this cause is sleep-
iness and the shallow breathing which
it entails. This factor, as well as
muscle quiescence, is apt to attend the
sense of boredom which one experi-
ences in listening 1:0 a dull sermon.
Hence it is that the bored individual is
apt to yawn. As in the case of sign-
ing, the deep breath which accompan-
ies the act of yawning compensates
for the shallow breathing which is apt
to excite it.
“Did that stuff lexivc you?” asked
the attending physician of his impa-
tient patient.

PRIZE SYSTEM SHOULD co.
' The Navy Has an Unfair Advantage Over
the Army.
In the rapid and decisive victory
over Spain in the war for Cuba there
is glory enough to go all round, and
the veterans of the battles On both
land and sea are sure of the Nation‘s
eternal gratitude. But in the substan-
tial fruits of the victory there is a cer-
tain disproportion between the navy
and army which seems incongruous,
absurd and unfair. For instance, by
reason of the fact that the fleet under
Admiral Sampson’s command cap-
tured, without resistance of any sort.
a number of unarmed Spanish mer»
chant vessels, and in the Santiago
fight killed a certain number of Span-
ish seamen, the Admiral will get 0ch
$40, 000 in cash when peace is doc-lard“:
as his share of the spoil, while all the
other officers and sailors will receive
a substantital share of the prize
money, in addition to their regular
pay. Admiral Dewey, for killing a
certatin numberof Spanish sailors at
$100 a head in the battle of Manila,
will get about $9,000, and all his men
will get their proper share for the
killing. Less than a dozen men in the
American Navy were killed or wound-
ed. They Were ‘comfortable' in their
roomy quarters, they were far re-
moved from fevers and miasma, well
fed and well tended, and, as events
showed, were never in any great dan-
ger.
But Gen. Shaffer, Gen. Wheeler and
the men who braved the fevers of San-
tiago and the withering fire of the
Spanish sharpshooters at El Caney
and San Juan make no money out of
the war. Even the gunboats in San-
tiago Bay, surrendered to Miles and
Shatter, but claimed at first by Samp-
son as his lawful prizes, yielded no
prize'money to either army officers or
soldiers. Many of the latter are
buried in Cuban soil. Others died 011
the way home or in the hospitals on
their arrival North. Others, weak,
fever-stricken and wasted, are still
fighting for life and health. The sur-
vivors get, or will get some day, $16
a month, or $64 for their four months’
campaign, together with their board.
Is there not something wrong in the
prize money and bounty system which
causes this absurd disproportion be
tween army and navy rewards? It is
true that it has been largely a naval
war, and the officers and men of the
navy have come out of it covered with
glozg, Nothing was further from
their thoughts in the fierce fighting at
Manila and Santiago than the fact
that every Spaniard killed was $100
in their pockets. But the whole prize
and bounty system smacks of piracy
and medievalism. It has no place in,
the naval code of any civilized and
Christian nation. It ought to go, to-
gether with the system of naval pro-
motions, which, in honoring one brave
officer and increasing his emolument,
degrades and fines other officers just
as brave, whose only fault was that
to them was not offered the opportun-
ity which presented itself to and was
improved by their more fortunate fel-
low officer.
