LIKELY TO TAKE FULL TIME A Counter I’roposel That “"e Give for the Philippines $100,000,000 Instead 'of $20,000,000. No Doubt That Spain ‘Vill S1g11 the Treaty of Peace. Madrid, Nov. 26.—-Af-ter visiting the queen regent yesterday in order to condole with her majesty on the anni- versary of the death of her husband, King Alfonso XII, who died on No— vember 25,1885, the ministers met in council. They were occupied exclusively with the consideiation of the peace ques- tion. Eventually, the council unanimously approved the instrllctions to Sen01 Montero Rios, president of the Span— ish peace commission, drawn up by the fOreign and, colonial ministers. which were telegraphed to Paris in the evening. A While the ministers were reserved regarding the instructions sent to the Spanish commissioners, it is believed the Philippine question will be settled on Monday nex-t. Premier Sagasta. was asked if Mon— day’s Session would "see the close of _ the Paris conference, and the signing of the treaty of peace. He replied: “Who knows? May ‘be a fresh inci- dent will arise or further consultations or exchanges of views will be neces- sary." , The Liberal says: “The cabinet dis- agreed yesterday as to the reply that should be sent to Senor Rios. But it is believed that it“ has decided wheth- er it will or will not instruct the Spanish commissioners »to sign the treaty of peace.” ' i Srain's Proposals. Paris, Nov. 26.—It is now known that Spain will exhaust her time limit, which expires on Monday, before .re- plying to the American offer regarding the Philippine islands. In the meanwhile the Spaniards are the entire field and ex- hausting every resource to postpone the inevitable. As cabled on Wednesday, they could not accept the American ultimatum as ultimate without asking if it really were so. That applied to the time lim— it. Now the Spaniards apparently doubt the fixedness of the amount the Americans offered for the Philippines, and yesterday they sent a cbmmuni- cation to the American commissioners asking if the latter would accept a. counter proposal by Spain to cede the Philippines for $100, 000, 000. Spain imagines the Americans might be willing to lop off the great island of Mindanao from the Philippines and pay Spain 8 0000, 000 for what would remain, instead of the $20,000, 000 now offeled for the entire archipelago. . Before giving up or turning away Spain will also piopose that the Unit- ed States hold some part of the Caro- lines or the Canary islands, in addi- tion to the Philippines, on condition that Spain be permitted to retain her sovereignty in the Philippines. In other words, Spain will'cede cer- tain territory in the Carolinas and Ca; ' nalies in return fOr a nominal Spanish sovereignty in the Philippines, and, as a furthel inducement, will propose that the United States shall pay Spain no money on account of the Philippines. Night: Meeting of Cabinet, _ Washington, D. (3., Nov. 26.-—Arspec- ial meeting of the cabinet was held a: ten. oclock last night. All the mem- bers W818 with the president, except Sec1eta1y Long, who is out of the city. The meeting was¢called by the pres- ident in order that his advisors might consider with him advices received last evening from the American peace com- missioners at Paris. It is understood that the advices re- lated to counter proposals informally made to the American commissioners by the representatives of the Madrid government. At the close of the meeting, which lasted only forty minutes, and was held in the parlors of the W'hite House, Secretary of State Hay said that the president had received some advices from Paris that he desired to lay be- fore the cabinet and that he had cal— led the members together to consider them. The nature of the advices Mr. Hay declined to state: ' The Administration Confident. Washington, D. 0..

Brooklyn, Nov. 26.—The complimen- tary dinner given to Rear 'Admiral Schley at the Brooklyn Club last eve- ning was one of the most notable ev- ents which have occurred in this bor- ough in some time. It was remarkable for the fact of its being the first time that Admiral Schley has been honored north of W'ashington, and adds another to the been similarly honored by the Brocku lyn Club. Over one hundred covers were laid and the club rooms were especially decorated for the occasion. The admiral, who arrivedin Man- hattan yesterday morning, was escor- ted to the club by Congressman Chas. G B-arlett and Chauncey Marshall. Colonel W'illiam Hestei, the presi- dent of the club, presided at the din- ner. Among those who responded to toasts “ere D1. Chauncey M. Depewfl General B F. Tiacy and Dr. Sa.

San Francisco, Nov. 26.—A party of seventy-five persons has arrived from Wisconsin to 'take part in the ceremo- nies of the launching of the United States battleship W'isconsi'n this morn- ing. They are headed by'ex- Congress- man Isaac Stevenson, whose daughtel Miss Elizabeth Stevenson, will name the vessel, and the Hon. S. M.‘ Steph- enson, and members of their fami- lies. Some question arose as to whethel the launch should be under the man- agement of the Wisconsin delegation or of the Union Works, the construct ors of the battleship. It has been decided in favor of the builders. Whether French or Califor— nia champagne shall be used in the naming is a matter for diplomatic ar- rangement between the Wisconsin par- ty and the San Franciscans. I Gen. Butler to Return.

They expect to finish their business there in a very short time and be back ‘in Cuba in about twenty days. Upon their return to Cuba, 3. meet- ing of the general assembly, which they represent, will be called at once and the results of their mission placed i before it. , General Garcia and the other mem- bers, of the commission hope for the success of their mission to Washing— ton. Though they have not said so in so many words, it is now understood that they intend to ask this country either “101“de I for a loan or to assist them in raising a. loan. _ The first use to which this money, if secured, will be put, will be' totvard paying off the officers and men of the Cuban army. Word comes from Cuba that lists of the officers and men have already been completed, and as soon as tht' men can be paid in part for their ser- vices .the army will be disbanded. The members of the commission were a little startled'at the utterances of Dbmingo Mendez Capote, formerly vice president of the Cuban republic, which have been cabled, to this coun- try. Capote, vho was here not many months ago, declares that Cuba. will in the end be annexed to this country and that in,the end he has no doubt that ninety-five per cent. of the Cu- bans Will vote for annexation. At present, however, he declares the sole wish of every Cuban is for inde- pendence pure and simple. The Cu- _bans want to have the satisfaction of seeing their flag in the galaxy of re- publics, and will stop at nothing short of that for which they fought so long. Aftei they have had a taste of lib- erty, however, under their own man- agement, they will want to come into the United States, Capote declares. As to what he himself wants he does not say. ‘ THE BALDWIN HOTEL FIRE. Five Bodies Recovered So For. A Charge of Incendiarism.
