SPAIN WILL GIVE UP.
WILL PAY THE CUBAN DEBT.
Reports From Paris Indicate That Ameri'
can Firmnes. Has Won Over spanish
DemArda

Paris. Oct. 2T.-The Spanish Peace
commissioners have accepted the neg
alive view OF the United States COM
missioners towards the proposed as.
sumption by the United States OF the
Cuban debt.
1t should be said that the adjust
ments already accomplished will stand
in the final treaty, unless opposing
views and positions ON the Philippine
question should develop hereafter and
bring TO naught the efforts of the fu-
ture and at the same time the results
already obtained.
The American commissioners have
firmly but courteously declined to as
sumo for the United States the entire
or joint responsibility for the Spanish
financial conditions. and the Spanish
commissioners have finally abandoned
the effort and have agreed that the
Cuban article of the protocol shall
without conditions have n place in the
ultimate treaty of peace. 1t was not
until Monday that they became actu-
ally convinced that the Americans,
who had from the outset made a re-
fusal to accept the Cuban debt. meant
exactly what they said.
In spite OF the fact that the Span
ish commissioners had as back
ground of their efforts doubts OF sue
ceeding, their hope of SO doing has
been so keen and their contention has
been so vigorously prosecuted that the
final conviction of their inability to
win their point brought the Spaniards
such shock and depression that, con-
sistently with these dispatches at the
time. there We're grave doubts as to
the continuance of the negotiations.
In support of these statements is the
fact that Scnor Montero Rios, after
Mondays session and that of Tuesday
last. would have resigned the presi-
dency of the Spanish Peace commits
sion had he not believed that his doing
so would have grievonsly shaken. IL 1t
had not unseated Scnor Sagasta's gov
crnment.
From this standpoint. IL from no 9th
er reason, Senor Montero Rios main
tnined his position. and at yesterdays
session, acting under the conviction ar
rived at Monday. the Spaniards an
nounced that they would forego fur
ther argument on the Cuban debt, and
agreed that. practically in the terms
and absolutely in the spirit Of the pro.
tocol, the article about Cuba should GO
forward into the final treaty. Thus,
Spain agrees TO relinIuish sovereignty
over any claim TO Cuba without either
terms or conditions.
All differences, If any existed, regard.
Ing Porto Rico and the selection of the
island of Guam. were also arranged
by mutual understanding and the
commissioners found themselves well
nigh touching the Philippine question
which will be taken up next week.

FRANCE AND ENGLAND.

Now Believed That War VIII Is. Avorted.
Paris, Oct. 2T.-It is reported here
this evening that the British Cabinet
mt to.day's session decided to proclaim
the protectora,e of Great Britain over
upper Egypt.
London. Oct. 2T.-Although nothing
official has transpired regarding the
deliberations of the Cabinet council
yesterday, the Times says it may be
taken for granted that the decisions
reached are in full agreement with
the policy formulated in the recently
published blue book.
The Daily Mail understands that an
arrangement has been arrived at
which removes all danger of friction
with France.
The Cabinet of Great Britain has de-
cided that there can be no question OF
any concession in the nature OF an
outlet to the Nile for France. The
whole valley OF the Nile must be re
stored to Egypt. though freedom in
trading facilities will naturally be
granted to France as to the world gen
orally.
General Kitchener arrived here this
afternoon and was greeted by the COM
mander-in-chief of the British forces,
General Lord Wolsey. and other high
military officials.

strike In virlen.

his determination to forcibly keep out
imported labor and because all efforts
at an adjustment By arbitration have

Annual Proclamation L, Issued by the
President.
Washington, ID. c., Oct. 2S.-The
President, after the Cabinet meeting
today. issued the following Thanks
giving proclamation:
by the President of the United states.
A Proclamation:
"The approaching November brings
TO mind the customs of our ancestors,
hallowed by time and rooted in our
most sacred traditions of giving thanks
TO Almighty God for all the blessings
he has vouehsafed to us during the
past year.
Few years In our history have nf-
forded such cause for thanksgiving as
this. We have been blessed by abund-
ant harvests. our trade and commerce
have been wonderfully increased, our
public credits been improved ana
strengthened, all sections Of our COM
mon country have been brought to-
gether and knitted into closer bond OF
national purpose and unity.
"The skies have been for time
darkened by the cloud OF war, but as
we were compelled to take up the
sword in the cause OF humanity, we
are permitted to rejoice that the con-
fiict has been of brief duration, ana
the losses we nave nuu ~ mouhH
though grievous and important, have
been SO few, considering the great re
suits accomplished as to inspire us
with gratitude and praise to the lord
of hosts. We may laud and magnify
his holy name that the cessation OF
bostilIties came SO soon as to spare
both sides the countless sorrows and
disasters that attend protracted war.
II do, therefore. invite all my fellow
citizens, as well those at home as those
who may be at sea or sojourning IN
foreign lands. to set apart and observe
Thursday, the oath day of November.
as a day of national thanksgiving, to
come together in their several places
of worship for a service of praise ana
thanks to Almighty God for all the
blessings of the year; for the mildness
of the seasons and the fruitfulness OF
the soil. for the continued prosperity OF
the people: for the devotion and vaior
of our countrymen, for the glory OF
our victory and the hope of righteous
peace, and to pray that the divine
guidance which has brought hereto
fore to safety and honor, may be gra-
ciously continued in the years to come.
..In witness whereof.

SNAKE RIVER RESERVE.

There is movement on foot tC
establish q reservation along Snake
river to include the Twin Falls, the
Shoshone Falls. the Blue Lakes and
some other objects of interest. A
petition for the establishment of a
reservation was filed some time ago
and now the assistant commission
er has notified Senator Shoup that
he will shortly send an inspector
to look over the ground.
The senator would be pleased to
hear from the people of this locality
as to what they think of the propo-
sition. He has no knowledge of
the details of what is intended, but
he feels that the citizens should be
first consulted. There are some
places that could be advantageous
ly improved, the senator says, but
he is not informed whether or not
it is the purpose, in the event of
the reservation being created, to
make such improvements. When
he returns to Washington he will
ask the commissioner to defer any
action until such time as the resi-
dents of this locality can be heard
from. He will also make it his
business to learn what plan the
government would adopt with ref
erence to improvement of the land
embraced in the proposed reserva-
ton.
Pending any decision of Wash
ington authorities, Senator Shoup
hopes to hear from any persons
who are interested or who have any
thing to suggest in connection with |
the subject.
