There in Open Talk of Breaking Oll' Hugo--

g tiations by Madrid Newspaper. Comm

Fleet to Welcome the Emperor of Ger-

many. Meeting of the Commission to

Go Over till Monday.

Madrid; Nov. 12.——Admiral Camara’s
squadron has been ordered to Cadiz. at
full speed in view of the approaching
visit of Emperor \Villiam of Germany
to that port.

The Herald asserts that the Spanish
government has resolved to “maintain
in the Philippine
islands," and it adds that it has been
suggested that Emperor William of
Germany, who is expected to visit Ca-
diz and Madrid shortly, on his way
back to Germany from the Holy Land,
be asked to arbitrate the question in
dispute between Spain and the United
States, in the event of the peace com-
missions of the respective countries,
now in session at Paris failing to come

the terms of the
proposed treaty of peace.

The queen regent presided at the
cabinet meeting held yesterday. Pre-
mier Sagasta read a letter from Senor
Montero Rios, president of the Spanish
peace commission, announcing that the
American peace commissioners had
refused to recognize the Cuban debt
and had exacted the Philippine islands.

The Spanish steamer Miguel Gallari,
which left Nuevitas, Cuba, about Oc-
tober 24, has arrived at Barcelona with
repatriated Spanish troops on board.
During the voyage across the Atlantic
twenty-three men died and on arriving
here one hundred men were seriously
ill, suffering from exhaustion and lack
of food.

 

Meeting May Again he Postponed.

Paris, Nov. 12,—1t is now generally»

understood that the joint sessions of
the peace commissions which was ar-
ranged for Saturday will be postponed
until Monday.

At the joint session of \Vcdnesday
last it was agreed that the session fix-
ed for Saturday might be postponed
until Monday if the Spanish commis-
sioners found themselves unable to
prepare a reply for presentation on
Saturday, and it now appears the Spa—
niards found it necessary to send to
Madrid for certain records which can-
not reach Paris before ten o’clock this
morning, and therefore their proper
embodiment into the next Spanish me—
morandum cannot be accomplished be-
fore Monday.

The next communication from the
Spanish commissioners will deal with
the rights ofcither commission to dis-
cuss Spanish sovereignty over the Phi—
lippine islands. and with the American
contention that the retention of public
moneys and customs collections at Ma-
nila is justified by the fact of the mili-
tary occupation of the place by the
American forces and warranted by the
protocol, even if faulty, as claimed by
Spain, because such action commenced
after the suspension of hostilities.

There is no truth in the statement
printed here this morning that the
Spaniards have decided to refuse en-
tirely at the next session to discuss the
ccssion of the Philippine islands.

On the contrary, they expect to for-
tify their position then on this point
by introducing the record of certain
verbal utterances of President McKin-
ley and Judge Day about the time the
protocol was framed and signed, tend-
ing, the Spaniards, believe, to indicate
absence of purpose upon the part of the
United States to take the Philippine is-
lands, in the absence of which, it is
further contended, Spain consented to
sign the protocol.

Judge Day, president of the Ameri-
can commission, ' is suffering from a
cold. Therefore, by his physician's ad-
vice, he has been remaining quiet.

The judge’s indisposition is in the
nature of an attack of the grip, from
which all the commissioners have suf-
fered more or less, but he expects to
be able to attend to business to-day.

 

Only One Dlillion for Spain.

Washington, Nov. 2.The administra-
tion is not to make any change in the
terms of peace it has offered to Spain
which will prove agreeable to the Ma-
drid government.

Instead of paying Spain $40,000,00 as
an indemnity for the cession of the
Philippine islands to the United States
President McKinley intends to reim-
burse her only for the debt of about
$1,000,000 contracted for public improve-
ments.

President McKinley and his cabinet
have carefully noted that the sentiment
expressed throughout the country by
[the elections has been in opposition to
the suggestion to indemnify Spain to
the extent first proposed.

As was put out by the administration
authorities, it was intended to give the
capital of the entire debt floated, with
the Philippine islands as security and
amounting to $40,000,000. What will be
paid by the United States, according to
the present intention of the president,
is the debt contracted by Spain for the
establishment of lighthouses, harbor
improvements and public buildings. All
told, this does not amount to a very
large sum, being fixedat about one
million doars.

3"" REPORT OF GENERAL MILES.

His :Contribntion to the 'Story of the
Conduct of the \Var.

Vv'ashington, D. 0., Nov. 12.-The re-
port of General Miles, covering his
connection with the war between the
United States and Spain, has been
made public, and with it the dispatches
bearing thereupon.

Among the more important‘points
covered are his protest against send-
ing troops to Cuba while they were
untrained and in danger of falling Vic-
tims to yellow fever; his request at
Tampa to accompany the army to Cu-
ba, and the reply from Washington
ordering him to Porto Rico, followed
by his sudden summons to Washing-
ton; General Shafter’s dispatch, in
which that general said that he was
“seriously considering withdrawing
about five miles from in front of Sam
tiago;” another dispatch from General
Shafter, dated July 4, in which he inti—
mated that he could not take Santiago
until Rear Admiral Sampson ‘would
enter the “upper bay;” the decision by
the administration to send General
Miles immediately“ to Santiago with re—-
inforccments; General Miles‘s prepare...
tion to “land sullicient forces on the
west side of the harbor of Santiago
to either open the entrance to our
fleet or enfilade the enemy’s line and
take their position in reverse." and the
consequent hastening of Tom! on ac-
count of this Ilank move to surrender
Santiago.

The report also mentions the clash
between General Miles and General
Shatter. in which Shaftor says:

“I was told by the secretary that you
were not to supersede me in command
here." and the reply of General Miles,
reminding Shafter that “the order or
the secretary of war of July 13 left the
matter to my discretion."

The report insists that General Miles
was sent by the president to the res-
cue of General Shafter. and that he
was recognized as having been in com-
mand by the secretary of war in his
dispatch of July 13 giving Ccncrnl
Miles full discretion.

 

The decision of General Shatter to
withdraw five miles was expurgnted
from the dispatch given out at 1hr-
war department at the time. as well
as the word "regular,” used in. con—
gratulating the troops in order that

the volunteers might seemingly be in-
cluded‘.

The report also gives a military out— .

line of the campaign in Porto Rico. and

' closes the report about the war by say-

mg:

“It is gratifying to record that during
the war not a single defeat has been
met, and not a prisoner. color. gun or
rifle has been captured by the enemy.
In this respect the war has been most
remarkable, and perhaps unparalleled.
Under all circumstances. and in spite
of many most trying difficulties, the
troops have maintained the fortitude
of the American character and the
honor of their arms.”

VICTlMS OF YELLOW FEVER.
Deaths of Chief Quilter-master “"illinms
and His (‘lerk at Havana.

 

Havana, Nov. 12,—1.1ajor Charles W.
Williams, the chief quartermaster, who
had been suffering from fever for some
time, died at nine o’clock yesterday

morning.
F. ’3‘. Stewart, the clerk attached to
the quartermastcr’s department, who

had also been prostrated with fever for
several days, died at six o’clock yes—

: terday morning.

The condition of J. B. Caldwell. the
third of the American party who has
been suffering from fever, is unchang-
ed.

 

Washington, Nov. 12.—Adjutant Gen—
eral Corbin has received a message
from General Wade, chairman of the
Cuban evacuation commission at Ha.-
vana, announcing the death from yel~
low fever. of Lieutenant Colonel Chas.
W. Williams, deputy quartermaster
general. .

Lieutenant Colonel Charles W. VVil-
liams, deputy quartermaster general,
was a native of Kentucky. and was

graduated from West Point as a sec—
ond lieutenant of the Eighteenth in-
fantry on June 16. 1375.

He was transferred to the quarter-
n'iaster's department July 2, 1879, as
captain, became a major March 4, 1895;,
and a lieutenant colonel last Febru-
ary.

He was the youngest officer in his
grade, being only about forty—five years
old, and would in all probability have
become quartermaster general.

In Havana he ranked as full colonel.
His family lives in “Tashiiigton, his
widow being a daughter of General
John 13. Gordon of Georgia.

 

Enraged by :1. False Prophet,

Norfolk, Va., Nov. 12.—~To escape
violence at the hands of his own race,
whom he had worked up to a high
pitch of religious excitement, over his
prediction that an earthquake would
visit Norfolk yesterday, Albert Booker,
a negro prophet, yesterday had to leave
town.

Booker said that the
would do great damage.

Revival meetings were held in the
colored churches, negroes left positions
and some of them went away from the
city. ' '

Yesterday at a meeting Booker told
his race that he had had a vision
which told him the earthquake had
been postponed. .

The negroes would have wreaked
summary vengeance had not the police
interfered and Booker was hurried out,
of the city.

Express Trains in Collision. .

VVilkesbarre, Pa., Nov. 12.——Tho Buf-
falo express on the Lehigh Valley Rail—
road, which left New York at 8.30 last
night, ran into the New York and
Philadelphia express going east on the
Wilkcsbarre mountain, at three o’clock
yesterday moaning. No passengers
were seriously injured, 'but five train--
men were killed.

An investigation showed that a very
heavy wind storm prevailed on the
mountain, which caused the leaves
from the forest to accumulate on the
track.

The engines ploughed into these
leaves, which clogged the braking ap-
paratus.

Pardoned by Gov. Black.

Auburn, N. Y., Nov. 12.—-William D.
Davis, a Lockport alderman, serving a
sentence of two years and four months
in the Auburn prison for bribery. ,Was
discharged yesterday on an absolute
pardon from Governor Black. He was
received here on June. 16, 1897. " .1

Wilmington, N. 0., Nov. 12.——Two
more ne‘s’rocs have been" added to the
death roll of the race war now being
waged in this city.

130”} Negroes were shot while at-
tempting to pass the guard establish~
ed throughout the city by the armed
whites.

Late Thursday night a large body
of whites Went to the home of a. white
Republican justice of the peace who
has a. negro wife, broke in the door,
forcibly ejected him from the house
and destroyed every article of furni‘
ture.

At present quiet prevails through-
out the citY.‘but this does not alleviate
the strain upon the nerves or lessen the
fearful suspense.

1‘3"er street in the city is patrolled
by armed white men, the jail is heav-
ily guarded to, prevent the negro lead-
ers incarcerated there from being
lynched, and the tramp of soldiers and
the glitter of bayoncts are to be. seen
and heard everywhere.

The seven negrocs who were placed
in the jail here were yesterday escorted
to the Atlantic COast Line depot and
warned never to tread on North Caro-
lina soil again. If they did, they
were told that they would forfeit their
lives. ,

The seven negroes banished from the
state stayed in jail all night, expecting
every minute to be lynched.

On their march to the depot their es~
cort was composed of a division of the
Naval Reserves from Kingston and a
militia company from Maxton.

The companies formed .in the front
and rear of the negroes and marched
through the principal business streets
of the city on the way to the railroad
station.

Along the entire route large crowds
gathered and cheered.

The negroes crouched close to the
soldiers for protection: At the depot
they were ordered to purchase tickets
for points outside the state. All bought
tickets to Richmond Va. and seemed
heartily glad when the train steamed
out.

lesponsibility for the riot and blood-
shed in this city is placed by the whites
upon the shoulders of a negro law-
yer.

The leading negroes of the city ap-
pointed this man to carry in person a
letter to the whites acquiescing in their
demand for the removal of the negro
newspaper, the Record, from the city,
and the exile of its editor, Manly. The
lawyer, for some reason unknown, fail-
ed to report to the whites. Conse-
quently the whites. thinking they were
being treated with contempt, burned
the Record building.

This negro lawyer has been captured.
and made to leave the city, never to
return under penalty of death.

The. scene of the disorder is now
quiet. Save for the large number of
soldiers on guard duty the place is
deserted. The negroes are keeping
close to their houses. .

Several of the negroes who were
wounded Thursday, died yesterday
morning.

All barrooms in the city have been
closed, and anyone caught selling or
giving away liquor will be severely
punished.

The city is full of state troops. who
are looked after and cared for by the
people of W'ilmington. ‘

Mayor S. P. Wright, Chief of Police
J. C. Melton and the board of aldermen,
composing a fusion-negro regime, have
resigned, and their successors have
been elected. '

lax-Congressman A. M. VVaddell as
mayor, Edgar G. Parmalee, chief of
police, and a new board of alderman
have assumed the reins of the govern-
ment.

At midnight the new mayor issued
a proclamation declaring that law
would be rigidly enforced against the
whites and blacks impartially. The
mayor prevented one lynching Thurs-
day .night by scattering a crowd with
an armed guard of twenty-five men.

In the rioting three white men have
been wounded and eight negroes killed.
About twenty other negroes were
wounded. The injured are William
Mayo, George Piner, and a Mr. Chad—
wick. , -

The negro who shot Mayo was found
in a house in the negro quarter. He
was taken out and told to run for his
life.

He ran, but had gone only a few
yards when he fell dead, his body rid-
dled with bullets. He had been dis—
covered by a company of naval re-
serves which was patrolling the streets.
-As the reserves approached the house
a. shot was fired at them from within.
,They replied with a volley through the
doors and windows. One negro was

killed. Six others were captured and
taken to the jail. The house was then
demolished.
