PANAY's CAPITAL FALLS.
Spanish Garrison surrenders the city
of IIoilo to the Forces of
Awuinn1dO.

Manila, Nov. 21.-Iloilo, capital of the
island of Panay and the second city of
the Philippine Islands, has been surren-
dered to the insurgent forces by the
Spanish garrison. While this result
was long expected, it caused alarm
among the Americans, as it marks an
important advance made by the forces
under Aguinaldo. Immediately on hear
ing the news Admiral Dewey ordered
the United States cruiser Charleston
and the gunboat Concord to Panay with
orders to prevent eXcesses by the vic
torious natives, who are expected TO
take advantage of their opportunities.
Outside of the city and bay of Manila
and Cavite, held by the United States,
the fall of Iloilo leaves practically all
the Philippines in control of the in
surgent army. Serious complications
are certain, as Aguinaldo has been more
independent of late, ignoring his former
friends, the Americans. 1t is feared by
the United States officials that the ma
tives can now claim they have won in
dependence and will refuse to submit
when the islands are transferred by
Spain to America. For a week past
Iloilo has been surrounded by the in
surgents, and appeals of the inhabitants
for American protection were ignored.
The city was forced to yield to superior
numbers. The victors have probably
before this sacked the town.

the lines and see that it is the purpose
of the president either to secure treaty
| or to terminate the negotiations before
the meeting of congress, December 5.
The note drafted is the most decisive
one yet submitted, and it is believed
that it will produce a crisis about the
middle of the week. There has been
strong desire to have the treaty of peace
come before Thanksgiving day, and it is
still the hope of the administration that
the Spaniards may be forced to give
their answer by Wednesday.
There is still strong belief that they
will surrender Internationally, and it
is assumed that all the American com
missioners now have to do is to put an
end to argument and insist on a definite
reply; for it is pretty generally under
stood that when the Spaniards are
forced into corner they will at once
submit to the inevitable.
A Most Important Meeting.
Paris, Nov. 21.-The Spanish peace
commissioners have been notified that
the United States commissioners will
be ready to treat with them in joint
| session this afternoon. Unless the
Spaniards have un adequate reason for
further delay, the two commissions will
join in the most important meeting
thus far held.
The American commissioners, in a
written communication, will declare
that the third article of the protocol re-
garding the Philippines is capable of
| only one fair construction, that no arbi-
tration is needed to elucidate Its terms,
and that the United States cannot adj
nit any other power to figure here
purely as a leXicologist. They will
maintain that the two commissions are
charged to determine whether Spain
or the United States shall in future
own the Philippines.
This will be accompanied by the clear
declaration that the United States will
possess the Philippines.
Following this declaration the Amer
lean commissioners will lay before the
Spaniards two alternatives.
First-To accept a sum of money
from the United States and to cede and
evacuatc the Philippines.
Second-To lose the Philippines to
the United States by conquest, with the
possibility of other territorial losses
to indemnify the United States for the
added expense of conquest.
Practically an UItimntum.
This communication may not be
formally designated as an ultimatum,
but it will lack naught of the conclu-
siveness indicated by that word. This
will be so plain that the Spanish com
missioners will scarcely haggle for
money on the first alternative nor cher
ish any doubt of American action under
the second, should the first be declined.

pines Must Cense, and Action

Washington, Nov. 21.-The state de-
partment has cabed to the American
peace commissioners in Paris an ex-
plicit statement amounting to an ulti-
matum, which they are directed to pre-
sent to the Spaniards at their first meet
ing this week.
This will declare, first, that the
United States will not listen to any ar
gument whatever as to the interpre "a
tion of the protocol.
Secondly, it will be said, without
equiyocation, that the United States
proposes TO retain for itself every acre
of ground in the Philippine islands
without exception.
Thirdly, as the Spaniards have de-
clined to submit any showing as to the
amount of the Philippine debt expended
for the benefit of the islands alone, the
United States will offer n lump sum
not varying much from $4,000 900.
This will not be itemized, so that the
Spaniards will be forced to accept or de-
cline it, without argument as to the
amount.
Finally, the American commissioners
have been instructed to demand a cate
gorical answer some day this week
the exact time to be determined by the
facility of communication between
Paris and Madrid.
Makes No Threats.
The United States makes no threats,
and hence the document is not tech
nically an ultimatum, but the Spanish
commissioners can easily read between
