TO TAKE PHILIPPINES
UNITED STATES DEMANDS The
ENTIRE GROUP.
This Country Will Assume All Obii-
cations Incurred in the Improve
ment of Islands and Not a Cent More
Spain Must Pay the War Debt.

The American peace commissioners dur.
Ing the session in Paris Monday presented
to the Spanish commissioners a written
expression OF the purpose of the United
States to take the entire group of Philip
pine Islands, and to assume such proper
ton of the Philippine debt as has been
spent for the benefit of the islands or their
inhabitants, in public works, improve
ments and permanent betterments. 1t
was also set forth that the United States
would not assume any part of the Philip
pine debt which had been incurred by
Spain for the furtherance of military or
naval operations to quell insurrection OF
the natives. The session was adjourned
until Friday, in order to give the Span,
iards time to prepare reply.
The news that the American peace com.
missioners had presented the United
States Governments demand for the en-
tire Philippine group caused no surpris,
in Washington, according to dispatches
1t was well known there that such would
be the outcome and that the $4,000, 900
debt would not be guaranteed Such por-
tion only of the debt as was incurred for
the benefit of the islands will be carried
by this country. This has been long SET
tied, though as a feeler a story that the
entire SAC, 100000 would be assumed was
sent out. As anticipated, it brought forth
violent protests from all parts of the coun.
try. Spain must now show how much Of
the $40,O00,000 she spent in improving
the islands.
1t is said that the Presidents recent trip
to Chicago and Omaha convinced him that
the country is in favor of retaining all Of
the territory taken during the war. Up
to that time, it is said, he personally fav-
ored expansion, but was in doubt as to
what stand to take,

MooNsHINeRS UP IN ARMS.
Have Notified Informers to Leave an
Arkansas County.

A war has broken out in Cleburne Coun-
ty, Ark, between about 100 moonshiners
and the "informers." A resident Of Scar
cy in a letter 10 Gov. Jones says the moon
sinners have banded together and are
burning the property the property of the
burning the property Of the informers and
have notified them that they must leave
the county.
Gov. Jones has issued proclamation
offering rewards for the moonshinersy but
as this mode of suppressing the reign OF
terror is not effective, he has decided TO
call the State militia out. Should they
prove inadequate the Governor will de-
clare martial law. The attention Of the
Federal authorities has been called TO the
situation, and Federal troops will be
brought into service, should the State be
unable to restore order.
For years Cleburne County, on account
OF its isolation, has been the refuge Of
counterfeiters and mOonshiners from
North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia and
other States. Last winter information
was furnished the revenue officers at Lit
tie Rock which led to the issue OF war
rants for about 100 residents Of that coun-
ty on the charge of Illicit distilling. They
united, defied the authorities and dictated
terms of surrender, only giving up on con-
dition that they be treated with leniency.
About ninety of them were assessed nomi-
nal fines. They thirsted for revenge
against the informers, and they have been
burning property and subjecting the In
formers to so much trouble that the latter
have been compelled to appeal to the
State authorities for protection.

TO RULE ALL EGYPT.
GREAT BRITAIN WILL DECLARE
A PROTEcToRATE.
True Meaning of the Activity in the
british Foreign Office France
Agrees to Retire from Fasioda, but
Other Powers May Act

Advices from London say that Great
Britain's secret Is out at last in the oDin-
ion of well informed men OF affairs who
have been keeping close t-..ek of the re-
cent extraordinary preparations for war.
Of far more Importance than the possi-
biiity of little brush with France, which
would be repetition Of tae Spanish
American war, is the declaration that
England is about to take the bull by the
horns and proclaim protectorate over all
of Egypt. This Is the theorF that is now
generally accepted as being he true solu-
ton of the problem, and it is the only one
on which the remarkable activity OF the
war office and the admiralty, can be salts
factorily accounted fors
All probability of trouble with France
vanished with the receipt of positive state
ments from Paris that Major Marchand
will be Internationally withdrawn from
f'ashoda, but the war preparations have
been continued since then with more en-
ergy than before.
The proclamation of Egypt as part of
the British empire would set all Europe
by the ears and would undoubtedly result
IN war were it not known that England
was prepared ana looking for trouble.
There is reason to believe that the Ger
man Emperor abandoned his trip to Egypt
so as to be out of the country when the
proclamation was issued. He is thought
TO be fully aware of Englands plans.
The British naval and military prepara-
tions are being pushed to an extent with
out precedent since the Crmean war
England was about to declare protecto-
rate in 1884, urged to do so by Prince Bis
marck, and it was only at the last min
ute, when ell the preparations had been
made, that the scheme was abandoned
for more favorable opportunity. That
opportunity seems now at hand.
England's occupation of Egypt is based
on might and has frequently been de-
nouneed by the khedive himself, by his
suzerain, the Sultan of Turkey, and by
France as illegal, while the other powers
have quietly tolerated the act

An explosion of gas in the basement of
the capitol building in Washington Sun
day afternoon completely wrecked the
Supreme Court room and the room ad-
joining, and many valuable books of the
Congressional law library were destroyed
This library contained 10000 volumes
and its value was placed at S1,0oo,0o0.
The historic Supreme Court room,
which was formerly the Senate chamber
of the original capitol building, is COM
plete wreck. The busts of Chief Justice
Marshall and others who have presided
OYER the highest court in the land are
I'd, and the court will for time have
to be provided with a temporary home.
There have been other fires in the capitol
building in the past, but none so destruct-
i've as this.
The explosion that started the fire was
of terrific force. 1t shook the old north
wing and tore asunder the foundation
and basement walls until apertures in
places are sufficiently large to receive the
open hand. The furniture and hangings
of the Supreme Court were destroyed and
the law library damaged, but mostly by
water. 1t will also reonire close exam
ination of the library to place the damage
there. Owing to the fact that the walls
of the building are of masonry the fire
had nothing but the woodwork of furni-
ture and fittings 10 feed upon, and was
soon extinguished in the upper floors. In
the basement there was raring volcano
of fame, which seemed to be fed by gas.
The Office of the marshal of the Su-
preme Court suffered most. The floor was
completely blown out of this room. The
law library consisted of 10000 volumes,
many of them legal books of rare value,
and large percentage of the volumes
cannot be replaced. The collection is es-
timated to be of the value of 81 ,o00,0 600
for such of these as might be obtainable,
but the intrinsic value of the library is
beyond estimation.
There is another valuable collection of
books in the consultation chambers of the
Supreme Court which also suffered great
damage. The rooms comprising the con-
sultation chambers are just across
narrow corridor from the Supeme Court
room, and here more than 10000 volumes
were stored.

TERESA is SUNK.
Spanish Cruiser Raised by Hobson
Lost in a Storm.


The sea has swallowed the cruiser In
fantG Maria Teresa, sunk at Santiago and
raised by Constructor Hobson. The
cruiser left Caimanera, Cuba, on the
morning of Oct. 30 for New York On
Nov. she was abandoned in midoc can in
a sinking condition. She could not wealth
er the gale prevailing. No lives were lost
The cruiser left Cuba in tow of the repair
ship Vulcan and accompanied by the
ocean tug Merritt and the collier Leon
idas. The crew of the cruiser, t36 men,
arrived in Charleston, s. c., on the Mer-
ritt.
The Maria Teresa was steaming
through what is known to mariners as the
crooked passage, thirty miles off San Sal
vador While her own engines were in
use she was not under her own steam be-
ing in the immediate tow Of the Vulcan,
while the Vulcan in turn was in tow Of
the wrecking tug Merritt. The weather
grew rough and there was indication that
a heavy tropical storm was at hand. The
cruiser began leaking badly and the stua-
tion soon became critical.
To take the officers and crew off the i'll
fated cruiser was both n dangerous and
u tiNhs bul II WIZ dtNOllIiiSutug
and all were saved. After the men aboard
the Teresa were taken off by the Merritt,
the Vulcan, which was towing the disa-
bled cruiser by fifteen-inch hawser, pro-
ceeded for four hours longer to tow her
toward Norfolk. De .site the possibility
of the Teresa sinking at any minute and
pulling her consort down after her, the
Vulcan held on manfully TO the former
Spaniard until it was believed that to tow
her longer was to sink with her Ii was
then that the great hawser was cut.
As the susfboat of the Merritt drew
away with her last load of rescued sail
ors, 1t was evident the Maria Teresa could
remain afoat but few moments more.
Her propellers were showing above the
water and she had sunk very low for
ward. She was evidently going to plunge
head first into the sea. That was the last
glimpse caught of her.
