THE PEACE JUBILEE
 AT PHILADELPHIA.
The Military Parade Was the Feature of the Day, and Was Witnessed by
 Thousands of People.

Philadelphia, Oct. 28.-There was 8 big compensation fer the disappoint. ment that enforced the postponement of the civic parade which was scheduled for Wednesday. The rain winch started at 4 o'clock Wednesday morning con- tinued until nearly midnight that night when the wind shifted to the west and quickly blew the clouds out to sea. Thursday opened with a clear sky, bright sunshine and with every possible favor able hope for the assembled crowds to witness the great military parade which was the program for the day in the week peace juoilee. The successful and popular maya! review on Tuesday had whetsei e desire to witness and ap- plaud the country's sons who enlisted to serve with landsmen ill tfe government service in its demand for humane and just treatment of the Cuban populace.
 From 25, 900 to 80, GOO soldiers reached the city to participate in the grand pa- geant and all promptly assigned to points of assemblAge to take their place in the grand procaasion. The president, the vice president of the United States, with members of The presidents cabi- net, distinguished army and navy of flcers and hundreds of thousands resi- dents of this city and other localities honored the occasion with their pres ence and with almost the entire popu- lace of ths city ohsered the soldiers as they moved over the route.

RiboSS the favoFite.

Paris, Oct. B, Nothing definite has yet been settled ih connection with the formation of new French cabinet The air, however, is full of ministerial lists in which the name of M. Ribot figures prominently. He is said to be the favor ite candidate for the Elysee palace, and 1t is generally believed that President Faure will appeal to him to form cab inet Of republican concentration, with M. Delcasse remaining ia the foreign office. Such cabinet would not oppose q revision of the trial Of Dreyfus. M. Ribot has always been regarded as being favorable to 8 reopening Of the case.
 President Faure received N. Delcasse and had q long conference with the min ister Of foreign affairs. M. Delcasse had long talk with Captain Baratier, the French officer sent to Paris by Major Marchand, with the latter's report of his explorations and arrival at Fashoda.

THE AMERICANS BLAMED
 FOR ALL DELAY.
One French Newspaper Even Says the stubbornness of the Americans May
 Break Off Negotiations.

Paris, Oct. 28-After noting that Wednesdays session of the peace com missions did not arrive at any solution regarding the Cuban debt, The Gaulols says:
 1.-The situation is extremely strained owing to the increasingly aggressive at- titude of the Americans, and it is even feared that if the Spaniards should not decide to give way on all points, negoti- ations will be broken off in the course of the next meeting. It seems unques- tionable that the near approach of Amer ican elections plays a considerable role in the attitude of the Spanish delegates, who have supposed that gaming time would obtain better terms from their conquerors, while just the opposite is happening" :"
 Continuing, The Gaulois intimates that if the Americans continue to show themselves intractable towards the Span- iards, renewal of hostilities may re- suit; especially if the Spaniards declare they have arrived at the extreme limits of honorable concessions. The Gaulois then adds
 We hope, however, thst matters will arrange themselves. as wa know sufi- ciently well the sentiments of the Amer iean nation will be able to affirm that new war will be received with disfavor by all men of common ssnsa and the peace commission would. h bringing it about, assume heavy resposibilisies for the future. :"

Halifax, Oct 2s-In the investiga- tion by Captain " II. Smith, the Oan- adian wreck commissioner, into tho loss of the Thomson nnsr Gt&ngsa, in the Straits of Belle I4e, two weeks ago, sensational evidence was given by Capt. Dykes, tho commander of the wrecked steamer, as to acts of gross piracy corn- misted by inhabitants of the Newfound- land coast. They swarmed around the steamer in hordss, boarded her and plundersd tho cargo. Schoonsrs with their names concealed came alongside and took the cargo
 Captain Dykes protested against these acts of piracy and threatened prosecu- tion, but it had no effect The plunder- CTS cut and hacked the vessel to pieces. The cabin skylight was cut in two to get the table out, and nothing was left standing in the chart room but four posts. All the steam pipes, steam wnis- ties, etc, were torn away, and in fact, everything of value was carried off.
 The privates even used guns to pre- vent Captain Dykes and his crew from ascertaining the names of the plundering scnooneIs, -----a-------,.rs--

MISCONDUCT WAS PROVED.
Two Washington Volunteers May ne
Punished a. Result Oh the
Court Martial.

<ra,,al Disnatch TO the PoSt-Intelligencer
SAN FRANCISCO, June 1.-The work
OF tho general court-martial, called 10 Try
Private Stevens, of Company u, f1rst
Washington volunteers, and Private Mat
th.son. of Company T., same regiment. was
concluded today. and the findings have
been delivered to Gen. Merritt. While
the sentences have not been made pubic.
it is stated that both men were found
guilty OF misconduct. 1t Is reported also
that they will be sentenced to pay fine
of $40 each and serve thirty days in the
guardhouse.
The misconduct OF the northern soldiers
consisted in being absent without leave
and other petty breaches Of military dis
cipline. 1t is worthy of mention that
this Is the first general court-mar,ial OF
volunteers held in this country for more
than thirty years.
The Washington men, who are stili
quartered In the Fontana warehouse, are
in splendid condition. They have prac-
ticaily all the equipment. and are ready
for service at a moments notice. The
men are fairly well contented. but some
OF them fear from the fact that they are
kept at the warehouse, instead OF being
permitted to camp with the other volun-
teers corps, that they will be held for
duty on the coast, while the soldiers from
other states are sent TO Manila.
II Is impossible TO learn what are the
intentions OF the authorities, but II seems
hardly possible that the Washington
troops, who compose one OF the best regi-
ments here. will be kept for home guard.
The general public has showered good
things on the northern soldiers It'd the
officers were compelled to issue orders
that no more 6sinties shall be accepted.
Among the refreshments refused was an
immense quantity OF bottled beer. The
people have also given very freely OF
reading matter-more than the men could
use In two years, even il they dd moth
ing but read.
