BRADFORD's VIEWS.

lie Discusses Philippine Question
with Our Com issiOners.
Paris, Oct 15.-Commander Bradford,
IT, S. ~, who has arrived here from
Washington, has been examined by the
members Of the United States peace
commission relative to the conditions
prevailing and the main features OF In
terest in the Philippine islands, with
which the commander is we'll acquaint-
ed.
The fifth joint session Of the two
commissions was convened at o'clock.
1t may be said that the first, second
and third meetings scarcely penetrated
the surface of any protocol point. and
less still the marrow. Last Tuesday,
however, marked the Spanish present.
ment regarding the Cuban debt, which
has, during recess, brought the Ameri-
cans to serious preparation, adjustment
of their diplomatic forces and to the
formulation Of plan upon which they
may ultimately stand in relation to the
Cuban phase of their mission here.
1t is not unlikely that since Tues
days meeting the Americans. who have
been exceedingly busy. have determined
upon an attitude toward the Spanish
proposition that the United States as
sumo the Cuban debt in whole or in
part and that 1t has been reduced to
writing for presentation to the Span
iards at the present session, stating
the American view broadly as to what
is the Cuban debt, what proportion is
fairly chargeable to the island as legal
and beneficial thereto and the proper
ton to be charged to Srlin as benefi-
ciary of the SO called Cuban debt.
A hasty conclusion, however, should
not be drawn from the fact of this
careful weighing of the Spanish propo-
stion by the Americans that they ae-
cept either alternative classification of
the Cuban obligation, but rather that
they are acting on a line and purpose
to meet every point raised as ex-
haustively as presented. They have
thoroughly traversed the Cuban debt
views and the proposals submitted in
writing by the Spaniards on Tuesday.
The Americans, therefore, undoubtedly
submitted in writing their return for
tho Snan'sh presentment. and there will
be either an oral discussion or a writ
ten interchange Of views at the next
meeting.

The Needs of Alaska.

San Francisco, Oct. 15.-Thomas New
ell, prominent citizen of Boston, who
has just returned from Alaska, where
he has spent four months annually for
the last IS years, says that the district
should have representative in con-
gress and should have the protection of
adequate land laws. He also thinks
that the prohibitory liquor law original
ly enforced to protect the Indians, but
now possible of evasion with a great
population of white men and thousands
of miles of unguarded seacoast, should
be replaced by high license producing
revenue sufficient to pay many of the
expenses of the territory.

River Street is still the scene OF many
high old times, but some of the subjects
are somewhat glum over the departure
of their Queen who it is said has left
for fresh tislds and pastures new. Some
of them are also mourning for the bag
of buttcrnuts which did not arrive on
last Sundays express. 1t is rumored
however that the chief of scouts will
try some place tomorrow where wire
fences are not too numerous and where
thieves are allowed to break in and
steal with impunity. While they are
waiting for his return the time will be
pleasantly taken up in getting acquaint-
ed with the new 'neighbors' who have
lately come amongst them with the "best
of references"

Stories About Garcia DENT ed. ,

Havana, Oct. Is. - The aid-de-camp
and secretary of General Calixto Gar
cia. Cosme de la Torriente. is quoted in
an interview as saying that the general
has not accepted any post from General
Lawton or the other American officials,
that 1t is not true he Is making a tour
of the eastern part Of Cuba advising
the disbanding of the Cuban army and
that there is no truth in the statement
that Garcia Is going to the United
States for the purpose of endeavoring
to raise loan, which he has no author
ity to do. The id-de-camp and secre-
tary further asserted that Garcia has
not denied the legality Of the actual
revolutionary government Of Cuba, nor
has he accepted the supremacy Of the
United States; but, 1t appears, Garcia
has unoficially expressed the opinion
that the present Cuban government,
owing to lack of numbers and person.
mel, could not be considered legal, as a
quorum was impossible, and therefore
it's actions are unconstitutional.
