First Colorado Infantry to be returned

oe granted by the war department. 1t was
stated by officers of the army to-day that
such requests had been frequent from SOL
a'ers of volunteer organizations who en-
hsted to fight. but did not enlist for gar
Hson duty. The desire of the regiment
10 return home was simply the desire of

of HoSfiIities.

London. Nov. 2.-The Paris correspond
ent of the Daily Telegraph says:
1.-The disagreement between the Ameri-
can and Spanish peace commissioners,
which, under ordinary circumstances,
might have caused alarm throughout Eu-
rope, is hardly noticed, owing to the
Fashoda affair.
THE Spaniards are IN a position to know
and assert their government viii resist
the American demands, and viii offer the
Philippines for a lump sum. If this pro-
posal is not accepted, Spain VIII recall her
commissioners and let the Americans do
what they choose.
Il am assured, however, that rupture
on Friday is improbable. Spain will en-
deavor by argument and appeals to gain
whatever concessions are possible, but she
VIII not risk renewal of hostilities'
