ENGLANDS ULTIMATUM
Consented to by the Turks-The Ring.
of the KiOt Delivered to the
British Admiral.

Gambia, Island of Crete, September
15.-An adie-de-camp of Djevad Pasha
boarded the British flagship last eve
ming and announced that thirty-nine
houses from which the British troops
had been fired upon had been demolish-
ed and hat 113 of the ring leaders OF
the disturbances had been arrested.
He added hat the embassies Of the
powers at Constantinople, in Difference
to the request Of the sultan, had agreed
hat the prisoners be tried by an inter-
national commission. This alleged de-
cision of the embassies does not accord
with the demands made by the British
admiral, Gerard Henry Noel, and will
increase the difficulty experienced in
disarming the Mussulmans, as it en-
courages them in the belief that the
sultan Of Turkey still influences the
embassies Of the powers at CONSTANT
nople. 1t is doubtful whether Great
Britain will consent To include the out
rage on her flag with the questions OF
pillage and the massacre of Christians,
which are purely international ques-
tons.
Later-FOrty-three Of the ringleaders
who had been arrested We're delivered
to the British admiral and ii was con-
sidered probable that all the terms OF
his ultimatum would be complied with
without resistance.

number of the delegates were men who
we're popuiists two years ago, but who
are now democrats fighting for demo-

lay the work in hand. Both sides pro-

commission, with the exception Of Sen
ator Gray, whose absence was due to
his inability to withdraw as counsel in
a case in which he was engaged some
time before his appointment as n Of
the peace commission, have spent the
greater part Of yesterday and today in
a free discussion Of the duties with
the discharge of which they have been
ntrusted by the president. Senator
Gray is expected during the evening
and before sailing will have a full con
terence with the president and his as
sociates.
while for obvious reasons it was de-
termined that the nature Of the in
StructiOnS as to the negotiations about
to be entered Upon should, for the pres
ent, be kept secret and made known
only after definite results shall have
been reached, it is possible to state au-
th%oritatively that the commission goes
to Paris fully prepared to follow a
course of action mapped out for it as the
result Of the consultations of the last
two days. At the very outset, it will
be made clear to the Spanish commits
siOnerS that, as in case of the prelim-
mary protocol, there can be no devia-
ton from or modification of the de-
mands made by the United States. The
decision arrived at by the president af-
ter a full consultation with the mem
bers of the commission subsequently
received the cordial and unanimous APP
prevail of the cabinet, at a meeting
held this afternoon.
"As previously announced, the COM
mission sails from New York on the
Campania at 2 o'clock on Saturday af-
ternOOn."
A MEMORIAL TO THE PRESIDENT.
The committee representing the Sar-
atOga conference on future foreign pol
icy called on the president this after
noon by appointment and presented an
engrOSsed copy of the resolutions
adopted at the conference and a me-
mortal simplifying the different sub
jects touched upon
The first remarks of the president af-
ter reading the memorial were: Gen
tlemen, you come at the supreme mo-
ment. 1 will today give the peace com-
missiOners their final Instructions and
you are here in time to have your rec
OmmendatiOn heard and considered be-
fore that is done"
The president said he had followed
with great interest the discussion of
the Saratoga conference and was sure
that they had done great good through
out the country, especially by COM
mending the committee for having Civ
en- so fair a hearing to bot sides and
for having been able to agree on reso-
buttons.
The president in closing a five
minutes talk to the committee, said
Il propose to DO the best 1 a with
such knowledge and light as I have
and hope my acts in the matter will be
approved by the deliberate judgment
| of ankin
The committee at a subsequent meet
ing unanimously resolved that a per
manent committee or organization
| should be perfected to agitate the uues-
lions touched upon in the resolutions
| and memorial.

the church, half a mole distant.
Here he was received by the assem-
bled delegates and conducted to a
platform in the chancel, from which he
delivered a brief message. The sub
stance of the message was mostly con-
g~ratulatory on the happy erminatio
of the revolution and the complete ON
quest of the territory. He made a
fiowery appeal to the delegates, asking
them, by the memory of the illustrious
patriots Of Philippine history, to follow
the example of England, America and
France in preparing a constitution and
prOmulgating laws to secure the COM
plete and permanent liberty of the
people of the Philippines. The message
excited but little enthusiasm, because
it was absolutely non-committal.
The assembly then proceeded i'm
mediately to organize, preparatory to
a discussion on the proposed cOnstitu-
ton and code of laws and the election
of a president. The absence of sew
eral of the most prominent and influ-
entail natives was particularly notice
able, as indicating an intention to hold
alOof until the policy of congress is
fully declared.
"A strong party, intoxicated by the
present measure of success, favor OPP
position to any foreign protectorate,
being confident that the people can
COVER themselves. Wiser cOunsellors
strenuously oppose such a suicidal pol
icy. Apparently unanimity now exists
only in the determination to free the
islands forever from Spanish rule.
