SPANISH OBJECTIONS.

There is no sign of yielding by the
American peace commissioners to the
latest arguments of the Spsniards Oh
the subject of the Philippines. AID.
vices which Secretary Hay received
last night from Paris have encouraged
the authorities to believe that the ne
gotiations will be satisfactorily com
pleted at very early date.
All the special dispatches to the Lon
don papers from Paris express the be-
lief that the Spanish com missioners
will finally yield, though under prete;t,
to the American demands.
Almost all the Madrid papers depre-
cate the dilatory proceedings at Paris,
expressing this belief that The United
State will decline arbitration and .urg
ing the government to yield quickly
since it is impossible for Spain to re-
new the struggle or to expect Eu-
ropean assistance.
A dispatch from Madrid says no IN
official person knows the contents OF
the document presented by the Spanish
commissioners yesterday, but it is safe
to assume that, added to her lnsistence
ON the reservation of her Philippine
sovereignty and her proposition to ar.
bitrate the construction of the third ar
ticle OF the protocol, Spain has made
two other important statements:
l. That on the high ground OF imam
cial probity, she cannot allow any dis
cussion here of the validity of her &C
ton in pledging the resources of the
Philippines for the payment of the
Philippine debt.
2. That in connection with the Amer
lean proposal to reimburse Spain for
her pacific Expenditures in the Philip
pines she cannot admit of any inquiry
as to how she has spent the proceeds
of the loans based on the Philippine
pledges.
The American Commissioners are
said to have been prepared in advance
to meet the objections advanced by the
Spanish Commissioners.

Col. WILLARD Col. Joseph E. Will
lard, late captain of the Fairfax
company in the Third Virginia regi-
ment, now q member of the Governors

SPANS Troubles.

MADRID, Nov. 16.-Tbere is bitter
disappointment here at the Kaiser's
change of plans, abandoning his ex-
pected visit to Spain. By this sudden
failure of the Emperor to lend Spain
the moral support of his presence at q
critical period, it is evident that the
last straw which sustained the opposi.
ton to Spains ceding the Philippines
to the United States, is gone. The
greatest obstacle now to SPANS sub
mission to the American terms is the
alarming accounts of conspiracies
against the government by the Carlists.
Their agents, we'll supplied with
money, have crossed the frontier and
are actively engaged in scattering their
propaganda throughout the northern
PROVINCES. Senior Sagasta fears that
any settlement with the United States
by which Spain gives up the Philip
pines, will be the signal for general
uprising against the present govern
ment.

Gov. Tyler explaining the circum-

money, and said: "Do as you think

VIRGINIA MErHODISTs.

AT yesterdays session of the Virginia
Conference of the NJ. E. Church South
in Portsmouth, the committee on con-
ference relations was announced, and
Bishop Hargrave gave short talk to
the ministers, requesting them in their
reports to be brief and to the point.
The call of the twentieth question,
Are the ministers of blameless life 2"
was again taken up and was answered
in the affirmative by the presiding elders.
The name of Rev. Charles ]. Boggs
was referred to the committee on su-
perannuated relations for retirement
from active service.
The roll of all the churches was call
ed, and in nearly every case the pas
tors reported their churches in salts
factory condition.
From the reports of the ministers it
is apparent that in most cases, where
an effort has been made against the
issuance of liquor licences in various
sections of Virginia the applications
have been refused by the court; that
the temperance sentiment is growing
throughout the State.
The address of DR.. Hammond was
on education and the extension of
church work at home and abroad.
Rev. DR.. w. F. Tillett, of Wander
bilt University, who followed DR.. Ham
mond, addressed the conference on the
great good done by that institution.

the Epworth League, addressed the

THE behavior of negro troops in this
country, as we'll as in its foreign provin-
ces to which they have been sent, would,
if it were not for politics, be sufficient
reason for the exclusion of negroes
from the U. S. army, as has been the
case with Indians. The negroes have
been taught to believe that they are
"as good" as any white man, and they
havn't sense enough to reconcile such
knowledge with the necessary require
ments of discipline.

The DINGLEY tariff bill las proved
to be such an utter and patent failure
as q means by which to raise enough
income for the necessary expenses of
the government, that the administra-
ton deems it essentially requisite that
the burdensome taxes laid for carrying
on the late so-called Spanish war shall be
maintained indefinitely. Consequently
congressman of both parties seem to
agree in the opinion that no reduction
of taxes upon the necessaries of life can
be expected, and that high taxes and
lack of work must continue. And this
condition has been effected by the votes

SOLDIERS DIsCHARGEs.-It has been
at last decided that men from the Sec
ond and Third regiments will be en-
listed in the Fourth. and that large
number from the latter will be granted
discharges. General Lee will, in q
short while, order to Richmond officers
from the Fourth regiment for the pur-
pose OF enlisting men in the Fourth.
In few days discharges will be grant
ed to about one hundred men in the
Fourth regiment, and their places will
be supplied by the recruits.
The foregoing is the result of conference
which Governor Tyler had with Secretary
Alger in Washington Wednesday afternoon.
The Governor informed the Secretary of War
of the large number of applications for dis
charge now being made by men in the Fourth
regiment. He also told him that in his opin-
ion many of the cases were meritorous, and
that the men should be discharged from the
service.
Secretary Alger readily agreed to the prop.
osit,on to discharge the men and enlist Sec
ond and Third regiment men in their places.
He stated to the Governor that General Lee
would be directed to send recruiting details
t. Virginia at once to enlist the men needed.
The Secretary said 10 the Governor that he
would limit the number Of discharges to one
hundred men.
The Governor put in one OF the busiest
days of his administration yesterday making
up the list of ono hundred for whose dis
charge he will ask.
The Governors mail contains little else
save letters from soldiers or those dependent
upon them, asking for discharges Some of
the letters reveal terrible conditions existing
in homes from which sons or fathers went to
enlist.
All applications for discharge must be ap.
proved by the captain and colonel Rich
mond Dispatch.
