cattle going into Cuban ports controlled
by the Spaniards, while the United
States is admitting beef cattle free of
duty to ports controlled by American
officials. The Cabinet concluded that it
has no power at present to change this
state of affairs, and that Blanco must
bear the responsibility. AS soon as
the United States takes possession of
various ports, however, this will be
changed. Some of the ports near Ha-
vana will be opened to the free entry
OF beef cattle and other things that
will result in benefit to Havana.
Attorney General Griggs and Secre-
taries Gage and Long, on account of
their absence from the city, were not
present at to-day's Cabinet meeting.
Secretary Gage said that the Cuban
question had not, as he understood,
been finally decided by the Paris Com
mission, but a complete settlement, it
was expected, would be reached by the
end of the present week. The Philip
pine question. he thought would be
taken up by the joint Commission early
In the coming week.
Although the members of the Cabi-
net are reticent on the subject of the
acquisition Of the Philippines, there is
now little or no doubt that nothing less
than the cession of the entire group OF
islands will be accepted by the Ameri-

BATTLESHIP MAINE.
A San Francisco Company Requests
Authority to Raise Her.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-The Acme
Wrecking Company of San Francisco
has made a request upon the Navy
Department for authority to raise the
battleship Maine The company has
had experience in raising vessels on
the Pacific Coast, and representations
have been made to the department as
to it's ability to accomplish the task in
Havana harbor.
1t is proposed to blow the mud from
under the wreck by means of streams
of water, and then to pass under chains
and attach to them framework con-
nected with system of steel barrels.
The company simply asks authority
to raise the Maine and bring her to
this country. If the Government wants
the ship when she reaches the United
States, the company will want to be
paid salvage money through con-
demnation proceedings. 1t is prob
able in case the Government does not
want the ship the company will ex-
hbit her in different large seacoast
cities of the United States. No money
is demanded from the Government by
the company.
1t is stated at the department unoffi-
cially that in case the company is
found to be reliable the authority
asked will no doubt be given.

SPANISH DESIsT.
Have Ceased to Garry Away Every
thing in Sight at Havana.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-Informa-
tion has been received by the Govern
ment that the Spanish officers have
ceased to break up and carry away
things that are regarded as immovable
property. Such things that are now
being taken are giving no concern to
the American authorities
An effort has been made to create
some interest in a supposed refusal of
the American Government to send
warships to Havana, as asked for by
the commission. The facts are that
some six or seven weeks ago Admiral
Sampson suggested that it might be
we'll to have one or more ships in
Havana, and that light cruiser might
be needed to proceed from Havana to
other places where it might be neces-
sary to send officers of the commits
sion. The Government did not COM
ply with the suggestion, and since then
nothing has been done about it. and
no further request has been made for
ships.

The PEACE JUBILEE.
FITTING WIND-UP OF PHILA-
DELPHIA FESTIVAL.
Rehabilitation Of Independence
Hall-Monster Parade-Fifty
Thousand People in Line.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2S.-Phila-
delphians and their visitors again
poured into the streets to-day to seek
positions to witness the third and last
Of the great Peace Jubilee professions.
To-day's procession was purely of a
civic character, and was a most fitting
wind-up of the weeks jubilee, the en-
blems of peaceful industry following
the display of the Nations prowess in
war.
The exercises of the day opened with
the re-dedication of old Independence
Hall, the historical building from which
the Declaration of Independence was
read to the people of the new republic
on July 4, 1116. The buildings which
had been from time to time since that
date added for use as offices of the
municipal authorities have all been re-
Gently removed, and the famous hall is
now in it's original form, as it was 10
years ago, when occupied by the Unit
ed States Congress and the National
Government officials.
The re-dedicatOn exercises were pre-
sided over by Governor Hastings, and
were opened by prayer by Rev. DR..
Brownson. The anthem MY Country,
'Tis of Thee. was sung by 5000 pupils
of the public schools, accompanied with
music by the First Regiment Band.
The memorial poem, composed by Mrs.
Florence Earle Coates, dedicated to the
Peace Jubilee, was read by Daniel w.
Hutchins, Principal Of one of the public
schools. The anthem Columbia" was
sung by the scholars, and then followed
the grafton by Mayor Charles War
wick.
Upon the conclusion Of the cere-
monies the great audience hurried 20
position from which to see the monster
procession. A stand covered the side
walk in front of the historic hall erect
ed for occupancy during the parade by
the 5000 school children who had par
ticipated in the dedication exercises.
The mammoth trades display, or
started from Broad and Cumberland
streets promptly at II o'clock, headed
by Major r. S. Snowden and staff of
thirty mounted aides.
The parade was one of the greatest
in the history of the country. 1t was
divided into ten division, and it is es-
timated that there were 10000 men
in line, besides at least 100 floats repre-
senting almost every manufacture and
manufacturing interest. There were
40 bands of music in line.
The weather was most delightful.

Fifth. Therefore it is left to France
to adopt any active measures to pre-
cipitate a conflict"
The "Pall Mall Gazette" adds that it
has good reason to believe that while
Russia has counseled France to tide
over the difficulty and avoid war, she
has promised to throw weight in the
scale at no distant date for the pur-
pose of bringing the whole Egyptian
question and the British occupation of
Egypt to the front for settlement.
There does not seem to be the slight
est ground for the report of yesterday
that the British Cabinet has decided
to declare a protectorate of Great Brit
ain over Egypt. 1t was based solely on
a London dispatch to the Paris 'Soir."
The papers do not commei, upon the
statement made, and the It. James
Gazette" alone alludes to the subject,
urging the Government to adopt such
a course.

THANKSGIVING.
Issued by President
Mckinley.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2S-The Presi-
dent, after the Cabinet meeting to-day,
issued the following Thanksgiving
proclamation:
By the President of the United States
"A Proclamation:
The approaching November brings to
mind the customs of our ancestors,
hallowed by time and rooted in our
most sacred traditions. of giving
thanks to Almighty God for all the
blessings He has vouchsafed to us dur
ing the past year.
Few years in our history have afford
ed such cause as this for thanksgiving.
We have been blessed by abundant
harvests; our trade and commerce
have been wonderfully increased: our
public credits have been improved and
strengthened; all sections of our COM
mon country have been brought to-
gether and knitted into closer bond
of national purpose and unity.
The skies have been for a time dark
ened by the cloud of war, but as we
were compelled to take UP the sword
in the cause of humanity, we are per-
mitted to rejoice that the conflict has
been of brief duration, and the losses
we have had to mourn, through griev-
Gus and important, have been so few,
considering the great results accom-
plished, as to inspire us with graft
tude and praise to the Lord of Hosts.
We may laud and magnify His holy
name that the cessation of hostilities
came so soon as to spare both sides the
countless sorrows and disasters that
attend protracted war.
/ do, therefore, invite all my fellow
citizens, as we'll those at home as
those who may be at sea or sojourn-
ing in foreign lands, to set apart and
observe Thursday, the 9th. day of No
vember, as a day of national thanks
giving, to come together in their sew
eral places of worship for service of
praise and thanks ITO Almighty God
for all the blessings of the year; for
the continued prosperity Of the people;
for the devotion and valor of our
countrymen; for the glory Of our VIC
tory and the hope of righteous peace,
and to pray that the Divine guidance,
which has brought heretofore safety
and honor, may be graciously contin-
ued in the years to come.
In witness whereof, etc.
