Not Much Show for Spain, Which May
Throw Up the Whole Philip
pine Question in Disgust
and Quit

Paris, Sept 29--rhe United States
peace commission held another session
this morning, after which, accompanied
by United States Ambassador General
Horace Porter, they drove to the for
eign office, where the commissioners
breakfasted with the Spanish commits
| SionerS.
| The French newspapers continue to
comment upon the difficulties the com
| missions will have to face by reason of
| their divergent instructions, beyond
which, it is said, they cannot go. Gil
Bias says: THE Spanish government
has given it's commissioners very precise
instructions. They are to do their ut
most to have it admitted that there can
be no question disputing the rights Of
the Spanish sovereignty over Manila,
the Island of LuZon and the rest of the
archipelago, outside of the naval sta
TONS which Spain will cede at the Mari
anne islands.
.'On the other side, the American com
mission before leaving President Nc
knley, received from him very precise
instructions, from which the commits
sioners cannot depart. Following is the
text of their Instructions: First, Spain
eedes absolute sovereignty over the
whole of the Island of Luzon: second,
the other islands of the archipelago are
to be placed under the dominion of
Spain on condition that a liberal govern
ment is accorded to their inhabitants
third a complete separation of church
and state in the Philippines: fourth,
Spain cannot cede any of the other ISL
ands in the group to any foreign power
without Americas consent fifth. the
United States shall enjoy, for all time,
the same commercial privileges as the
most favored nations. not excepting
Spain herself"
Gil Bias continues: 1T is therefore to
be feared that for unhappy Spain the
negotiations which open the first of Oc-
tober will give no satisfaction"

WI hen we stop to think of the magic

which every department took up the

tyre court martial today the govern
ment rested land the defense opened.

titled that the chaplain did not charge
dishonesty in the construction of bat
tleships but said that eastern contract

ment and We're not as careful in their
work as the builders Of the Oregon. He
testified that the chaplain said, when
the Oregon was going into the fight he
met the Iowa, with Fighting Bob Ev-
ans. going the other way. There was
nothing contemptuous in the allusion.
The witness said the chaplain stated
Admiral Sampson was II miles away
when the fight began, but came up dur
ing the fight within signaling distance,
explained as four miles, at the surrender
OF the Colon, and was so reported.
Schermerhorn said he had been person
al friend of Mcintyre for five years. He
believed the chaplain was sick the night
or the lecture. Joshua Wilson corrobo-
rated Schermerhorn's testimony, except
that he stated Mcintyre had said Ad-
miral SIMPSONS flagship was reported
