THE PROTOCOL.
Spain Says it Was Signed at a Critical
Moment

Moment
Paris, Oct. 12.-The sitting yesterday
Of the joint peace commissions Of the
United States and Spain was devoted,
according to the Gaulois, to an exam
ination of the solution which it is pos
sible to give to two questions in the
protocol.
The Philippine question, the Gaulois
adds was discussed incidentally. the
United States commissioners seeking to
impose a system of compensation for
claims connected with the entire group,
by assuming the debt, provided Spain
guarantees the Cuban debt.
The Americans consider that they
cannot discuss the principles forming
the base of the protocol to which the
Spaniards reply that the protocol was
signed at a critical moment and under
pressing necessity, and that it cannot
be considered as expressing the SOW
ereign will of free nation
The American peace commission at

tion outside of purely diplomatic lines.

Two Already
Selected
NEAR HAVANA
Gomez Eager to Cooperate
With United States.

Havana. Oct. 12.-The sites for at
least two American camps have already
been selected by the commission ap-
pointed for that purpose. The first will
be outside Guanabacoa, across the bay
from Havana, and the second will be
at Guanajay. 20 miles from here. The
main object in view in the selection of
the camps, besides their healtful loca-
tion is the possibility of approaching
them from the sea without having to
enter the harbor of Havana, which Is
considered to be the main source of
infection.
The Guanajay site is specifically To-
Gated for that purpose, and it is only
couple of miles from Mattel, on the
coast, and there is a splendid wagon
road between.

their trip from Santiago. They travelled
most of the distance on horseback and
visited q number of Cuban camps,
where, Col. Rowen says, want and de-
stitution abound. The colonel had an
interview with Gen. Gomez and found
the insurgent commander eager to CO.
operate with the United States. Gomez
was in favor of the Cubans being dis
banded SO soon as the Spaniards eva

Of government is established.
1t is probable that Gomez will be
elected president. He is in favor Of a
general election, in which all taxpayers
will have vote and voice.

MUCH PLEASED.
Mr.. Aliens Visit to the
Charlestown Navy Yard.

Boston, Oct. 12.-Assistant Secretary
Of the Navy Allen, surprised the Off
GERS of the Charlestown navy yard this
morning by getting here one day ahead
Of time. Word was received yesterday
from Commander Henry w. Lyon OF
the Dolphin, the despatch boat used by
the navy department, that he would ar
rive here Thursday morning.
The Dolphin appeared off the navy
yard at about 10 o'clock, and the navy
yard battery at once fred salute of
10 guns. The salute was not returned.
The assistant secretary, accompanied
by Mrs. Allen, Commander Lyon, Lieut..
Katelle, who is acting as clerk TO the
assistant secretary, and Surgeon Gardi-
ner, came ashore later, and after a
short chat with Commodore Howison,
the assistant secretary and Lieut.. Kat
telle were escorted through the work.
shops Mr.. Allen explained his visit 10
this and other naval stations at this
time, by stating that the war has de-
veloped such increased activity in all
of the yards that he deemed 1t adYis-
able to inspect the yards and buildings
SO that he could fan1iliarize himself
with them, as there are constantly sub
Jects coming up from all the yards that
demand his personal attention. He be-
lieves that the only way to gain know
ledge, relative to each yard, is by per-
sonal inspection.
Speaking about the Boston yard, ne
said that he was generally pleased by
what he had seen. He said that with
the buildings and facilities the yard has
there is no reason whatever why this
station should be second to any station
in the country in the immediate future
Mr. Allen further stated that in his
visit here he has been specially i'm
pressed with the splendid character OF
the buildings and the great ability OF
the yard to produce large orders al
small cost. With the improvements thai
are to be made here, the extent Of pro
duction will probably be doubled. Sec
retary Allen said:
What is most needed here is more
organization in the buildings and new
machinery. This, with the proposed i'm
provements. win make the yard com.
pare favorably with any naval station
in the world"
Mr.. Allen paid a high compliment tC
the New York navy yard, which hi
visited few days ago, and said 1t /.
wonderful the vast amount of worl
that is being done there. During tht
war the men were getting ships ready
for service at an average of one day

THE w. c. T. U.
The 25,h Annual Convention opens at
fremont Temple, Boston.

remont emp'e, Boston.
Boston, Oct 12.-The 25th annual con-
vention of the Massachusetts Women's
Christian Temperance union opened
this morning in fremont Temple, be-
ing called to order by the president.
Mrs. Susan S. Fessenden. who, after
appointing members to serve on the
credential. resolution and business
committees, introduced Mrs. Ruth B.
Baker, the corresponding secretary,
who read the annual report. This
showed that the organization has 300
unions with paid membership Of $10,
900 annually. During the year there
has been enrolled 1876 new members
and 500 honorary members; 1850 adults
and 7704 children had signed the
pledge. The amount of money, which
was reported as given for the temple,
was 1883, and probably about $4,000
more is in the hands Of the unions
awaiting the action of the national con-
vention.
While the report of the executive COM
mittee was being read there was a
question raised as to whether the $1,000
salary of the president should not be
reduced to $500. The motion was put
to vote and lost. The report suggested
the endorsing of the action of the ma
tional convention with regard to the
temple, which favored the relinquish-
ment of the purchase of the temple
but would assume the moral obligation
incurred toward the holders of the
$500 900 bonds The discussion of this
question took on such proportions that
it was suspended until the afternoon
session

"If this train had come in before the
interview with the governor was print
ed there would have been no blood
shed, as the men knew they We're dis
obeying the law and had exhibited an
entirely different spirit from what they
showed after the interview was pub
lished Most of them were ignorant
enough to believe that they had a right
to do as the governor said they had
His statement that the miner had the
same right to fight for his property
which was his labor as the mine own
er did to protect his property, inspired
these men to the action which they
took today in firing upon this train as
soon as it came into our town. AT least
500 shots were fired into that train by
the time 1t reached the shaft and no
shots were fired from the train until at
least 150 shots were fired into il,
think, killing and wounding a good
many of the people on the train. No
shots were fired from the stockade un-
til after several of our men had been
| wounded. Several of the men came
| back without having fired their guns at
all. Most of the shooting was done by
the guards on the train, who were au-
thorized by the railroad company"

Roseberry ON
Situation.
SAYS TT is GRAVE.
Significant Speech by the
Former Premier.

London, Oct. 12-Lord Roseberry.
the liberal leader and former premier,
presiding today at an agricultural din
ner at Epson, referred to the critical
situation in the upper Nile. He said:
"As was responsible, both person
ally and ministerially, for the declara-
tion of Sir Edward Grey on which the
present policy in regard to Fashoda is
founded, and as 1 have no disposition
to recede from a word or a syllable of
that declaration cloud cheers), I feel
bound to say a few guarded, and, I
hope, inoffensIve words on subject so
vital to our interests.
There are two or three considera-
tions in connection with the question
which make it Of supreme gravity. the
greatest being that, in face of a DELHI
crate warning that particular act
would be considered an unfriendly act,
that act, in spite of great geographical
diff1culties, great hardships and al
most insurmountable obstacles, has
been deliberately committed.
The word 'unfriendly, used diplo-
mat1cally, is of exceptional weight and
gravity, and when used to denote an
act committed by one government
against another, the situation is grave.
ION that point l will say no more.
Behind the policy of the government
in this matter there is the untiring and
united strength of the nation. 1t is the
policy Of the nation itself, and no gov
ernment that attempted to recede from
1t or palter Herewith would last a
week. l am perfectly certain that no
idea Of any weakening on this QueS-
tion has entered the heads of her ma
Jesty's present advisers. They have
only to maintain the attitude revealed
in the blue book and the nation will
make any sacrifice and go any length
to sustain their action.
"On the other side of the channel, the
question of the flag is an element oi
great gravity. We all honor that flag
and would not wish 1t the slightest dis
respect. But, after ALL a flag is port
able, and I have some hope that the
flag in this case is not the flag OF
France, but Of an individual explorer
and not, therefore, carrying the ful
weight of the republic behind it.
Among the reassuring features is
the fact that M. Delcasse (the French
minister of foreign affairsl has receiv-
ed the representations Of Great Britain
in a. conciliatory spirit. By denying the
existence of a Marchand mission, he
has deprived Major Marchand of the
official character which would give the
hoisting Of the flag a much more SER
ious aspect And, in spite of the con
trary statements of Capt. Lictard and
Major Marchand, I hope to find that
the mission of Major Machand, con
Quoted far from French territory and
across territory to which France has
no claim, though other nations have
will prove to be of a local and not OF
an authoritative character.
