From the Louisville Dispatch; Uncle

for his long fervent prayers; but when
his son Ike took him to the cnlored
church in the city and when he heard
the organ and gazed upon the we'll

met the parson the day before. and
what was his surprise when that per-
son said during services. Wen all

Uncle Nose came down from the coun-
try down on his knees and threw his
deep voice and soul in prayer which
shook the rafters. AS he came to the
close his old white head was shaking
and his voice was bringing each saint
and sinner to the shouting point. "Oh,

OFFICIALS PLEASED
Epain's Action Marks One Danger
Point Passed

WASHINGTON, Sept. A-(By Asso-
ciated Press.) Much satisfaction was ex-
pressed today over the reports from Mad
cid that the lower house of parliament had
passed the government bin accepting the
terms of the protocol.
The upper house already has passed this
measure, so that the last fear OF the leg
lslative opposition Of the transfer Of Cuba
the Ladrones and Porto Rico is over. The
authorities here feel that this carries them
by a danger point, as 1t has been feared for
some time that the animosties in the
Spanish cortes would lead to the defeat Of
the Sagasta ministry on the question of
evacuating the Spanish Islands, either In
one branch or the other There is httle
doubt that a general line of policy was
agreed upon between the president and his
cabinet at their meeting late yesterday
afternoon, but there is good reason for be-
l,eving that the assertion that the decision
was definitely in favor of not permitting
Spain under any conditions to retain SOW
sreignty in any part of the Philippine Is
lands is based on a misconception, as the
members of the cabinet and the members
of the peace commission refuse absolutely
to discuss the subject with newspaper men,
and therefore, Whatever Is Sdlu Is DdSeu
more or less on inference from roundabout
information. 1t is not doubted that the
commission will start the negotiations at
Paris with the assertion that we have con-
quered Spain in the Philippines. and that
Spains sovereignty has already been for
feitcd there. This Will not, however. nee
essarily signify that i. is the purpose Of
the administration to retain possession Of
the entire group Of islands or permanently
to deprive Spain Of all her possessions In
the Pacific. 1t is not believed that the ad-
ministration has gone beyond the de-
termination to retain the whole of tho Is
land of Luzon, but 1t is understood to be
the intention of the president to establish
a.; the outset the right of this government
to determine the fate of the Islands and to
make the conditions as to what govern
ment shall be established there.
The matter Of relinquishing possession OF
the rest of the islands is involved with so
many conditions to be considered that 1t is
realized that 1t may by force of cfrcum-
stances become necessary to deprive Spain
permanently Of all her possessions in that
quarter. 1t is understood not to be mat
ter Of policy to acquire all this territory,
but 1t may become a necessity. The oom-
mercial and trade side of the question, as
involving the development and expansion

cially as the First United States Volun-
;eer Cavalry. and popularity as Roose-
veE's Rough Riders, were very much in
evidence on the streets and in the hotel
corridors Of New York today. The troop
ers lost no time on being mustered ou, of
Camp Wikoff in making their way to town.
A number Of them hailing from Arizona
and Wyoming wen. down to Coney Island
on trolley cars. When on Brooklyn Bridge
they fired volley from their revolvers,
which caused rush of policemen from all
over the bridge. The men were allowed
good deal Of latitude.
Some Of the Rough Riders on arriving
in the city went direct to hotels. some to
the Hoffman and others to cheap lodging
houses. One Of .he latter fell asleep on
the window-silL from which he fell into
the street. breaking a leg.
Much attention was attracted up town
by the spectacle of three Rough Riders
and sailor in an electric cab. The Rough
Riders enjoyed the horseless vehicle i'm
mensely. The sailor acted as guide to places
Of interest in the tGderloin. Everywhere
the men were treated with hospitality.

Will Only Require the Cession
Of Luzon Island
Two VERY GOOD REASONS ARE GIVEN
One Desire to Show Moderation to Vanquishec
Foe, the Other Wish to Try New
Policies With Caution
SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-The
maximum demand Of the American
peace commissioners in relation ia
the Philippines will be that Spain
shall cede to the United States SOW
ereignty over the island of Luzon.
1T is not the intention Of the
United States to demand possession
and control of the entire Philippine
archipelago. The only reason that
would compel the United States to
assume such control at this time is
the remote possibility that Spain
may refuse to attempt to restore her
lost prestige in the islands when the
most important one of the group, to-
gether with the city Of Manila, has
been taken from her. The United
States does not want anything but
the island of Luzon."
This statement was made today by
the highest authority in Washing
ton, except the president himself,
after Peace Commissioners Davis and
Reid had had conference at the
White House.
There were two principal reasons
that actuated the president and his
cabinet in reaching the decision
they have, that is to keep Luzon only.
GOOD REASONS GIVEN
One of these was that it was their
desire to treat their conquered foe
with moderation and to make it as
easy as possible for the Spanish gov
ernment to secure the ratification Of
the peace treaty. the other and more
important reason, because 1t affects
the welfare Of the United States it.
self, was that the administration
deemed it prudent to advance on the
new lines of American colonial policy
slowly and with caution.
To assume all at once the response
bility for the government of great
group of islands so distant from our
shores, populated by millions of peo-
pie in a state of semi-barbarism, is
not deemed wise. It is argued by
members of the administration that
whatever commercial advantages are
to be obtained through the retention
Of the fruits of Admiral Dewey's VIC
tory, will come Just as surely if the
United States holds only the island Of
Luzon as if she kept them all.
