NEGOTIATIONS HAVE REACHED
THE CONFEDERATION OF THE
PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.
GEN. MERRITT REACHES PARIS.
WORK OF THE COMMISSIONS MAY
CONCLUDE IN a MONTH.
Americans Said to lie in n Hnppx
Frame of Mind and Perfectly
Satisfied with the Progress
Made i'm the Negotiations,

Paris. Oct. 3.-Maj Gen. Merritt. who
commanded the American troops at Ma
mia, arrived here to-day from Marseilles.
He repaired TO the Grand Hotel de L'Ath-
enc and declined to be interviewed as he
was suffering from fatigue The general
did not see the United States peace COM
missioners before the opening of the Joint
session to-day
The American commissioners held n ses-
sion to-day at their own office, preparatory
to the second meeting with the Spanish
commissioners, which began at the COM
missions rooms i'm the foreign office i'm
mediately after their assembling at 2
o'clock this afternoon.
To-day's session lasted until 4 O'Clock.
a which hour the commissioners adjourn
ed to meet at o'clock next Friday after
noon, such interval being desirable and
necessary to allow separate consideration
by each commission OF matters requiring
such course before the joint commission.
The secretary of the Spanish commission
will arrive tonight and the interval win
be also employed by the secretary Jointly
in maturing plans for the work and pro
cedure
The Spanish and American commission
ers will be received tomorrow by Presi-
dent Faure. The hour fixed for the recep-
tion of the Americans is 4:45 o'clock in the
afternoon. Cen Merritt will accompany
the Americans to this function, which will
be held at the Palals de Elysee.
The opinion is now held that the work
of the commissions may be finished within
a month of the present time
While it is the general impression that
to-day's meeting was again devoted to pre-
liminaries and that the adjournment to
Friday was taken only TO enable the Sec
retaries to draw up a schedule of work,
the representatives of the Associated Press
learns that the session was highly impor-
tant and that the Americans have made a
demand of such a character that the
spaniards found it necessary to ask an ad-
journment In order to enable them to con-
suit with the government at Madrid
1t is believed that the question concerns
the Philippines, and II is known that the
Americans are highly pleased at having
so soon reached what they consider very
Important phase OF the negotiations and
consider the two sessions thus far held
as very satisfactory to America.
The fact that member of the commits
sion expressed the belief that the work
would be completed within month indi-
cafes happy frame of mind.
In the Spanish camp great homes are
built on what they believe Gen. Merritt
will advise. namely, that the Philippines
are incapable of self-government and
that the whole situation does not warrant
America in taking the responsibility for
the entire Philippines. The Spaniards
are quite ready to give whatever America
asks in the way of coalins stations, but
will resist more to the very verge of
renewal of hostilites.

President Mckinley Again Compile
ments Southern Soldiers.

Washington Oct. 3-To number Of in
terested callers to-day, President McKin-
ley had occasion to reiterate his deter
minatlon to have no more troops mustered
out for the present. In the course Of
several interviews he stated in substance
that it was the intention Of the admins
tration to send fresh troops to Porto Rico

win have to be returned and who will be
given furloughs. He stated very armly
that there would be no general discharges
until the situation was cleared up The
President also, during the day testified
to his appreciation OF the soldiers from
the South.
TO delegation he said one OF the re-
suits of the war which particularly pratt
fled him wac that the war seemed to
have effaced the last vestige OF sectional
feeling as between the North and South.
He referred to the hearty responses from
the South when the war broke out and
concluded with the statement that If the
elimination Of all differences of feelings
between the North and South viii con-
tlnue permanently, he would be a happy
man.
He also spoke Of the evident content
ment Of the Southern troops to remain In
service so long as they were needed.

Reasons for Locating Army Camps

Reasons for Locating army Camps
south for Winter.
Washington, Oct 3.-The following state
ment was given out at the war department
to-day;
THE secretary, being questioned as to
quartering Of troops during the winter,
has had the matter under very careful
consideration and has determined. for the
good Of the service and the welfare of the
men, that they should be in open camps.
in climate, where, during the winter.
they can drill and have free open-air ex-
ercise
To put the troops in buildings in the
large cities in the North, would in a meas
ure deprive them of the necessary drill
discipline and target practice essential for
fitting soldiers for active service in the
field. Moreover, the discipline of troops
near small towns can be maintained very
much better and more effectually than
near large cities.
The troops, therefore, will be quarter
ed in the Middle Southern states. where
they can live in tents, as provided bv the
plan of the quartermaster general. which
gives stoves to each three tents Joined
together. two sleeping rooms and one sit
ting room.
The Secretary of War directed a board
of experienced army officers to visit the
different sites for the purpose Of select
ing these camps, and has left that to their
Judgment, which, however, meets with his
full approval"

that the Spanish government has resolved
10 vigorously combat any such action
which, 1t is claimed the terms of the
peace protocol preclude.

ion of the medical staff of the American
army in Porto Rico that the condition of

alarming rate. To-day the sick report
shows over 200 in hospitals or In quarters
out of a total command of 1000 men,
that is over % per cent. of the troops are
on the sick list.
The medical officers have found that the
convalescents do not, ana seemingly can-
not, recover their strength in this climate,
and for this reason they are being sent
North as rapidly as possible, several hun
dred leaving every week. Tomorrow over
800 win so on the Obdam and the Relief.
1t is a significant fact that there is a
