to the last American memorandum.
we are considering the matter" he
said, 'fn a conciliatory spirit, and are
anxious to re-establish friendly rela-
t1ons between the two countries. At
the same time we are here to defend
the interests and honor of Spain"
In reply to an inquiry as to whether
there was any truth in the report that
the Spanish commissioners had decided
to accept the American offer of $780,
100000 for the Philippines, Senior Rios,
shaking his head, said:
No, no, the commission has not vet
decided on its answer. What our re-
ply will be can only be determined at
the conference on Monday, when we
will discuss the matter with the Amer

APPEAL To ARMS.
The Carlists Ready to Strike Final
Blow in Spain.


MADRID, Nov. 25.-The government
has announced that the Paris peace
conference will end Nov 2S. On the
same date Don Carlos will leave the
Chateau Loredan, Venice His son,
Don Jaime, who is an officer in the
Twenty-fourth regiment Of Russian
dragons, will arrive on the same day
at the Spanish frontier. It is believed
here that a supreme appeal to arms
on the part Of the Carlists is imminent
The public continues to ridicule the
idea of accepting $2O,OOo,OOO for the
Philippines. While the people are
willing to see ahead of them relief
from the colonial burden, they yet
hope to see Spain realize enough from
parting from her islands to enable her
to start in life, as it were, with new
set of books.
Gen Blanco is expected to arrive in
Spain with the ashes Of Christopher
Columbus early in December.
Considerable apprehension is mani
tested by Premier Sagasta and his col
leagues by reason of news of active ag-
itation on the part of the anarchists in
the south of Spain.

FRENCH ARB FURIOUS
PICQUART CASE RAISING A GREAT
Err STORM THAN DID THAT
OF DREYFUS
MILITARY ARE IN DlsFAvOR
Barefaced Decision of Gen. ZurIin-
den, Governor of Paris, to Try
Col. Picquart by Court Martial
the Cause Remonstrances
Against Such Action Being Circu-
lated for Signatures.

PARIS, Nov. 25-The Picquart case
seems in the way of raising even
greater storm than the Dreyfus affair.
The papers favorable to the general
staff are dumb in the face of the bare
faced decision of the military governor
Of Paris, Gen. Zurlinden, to try Col.
PicQuart by court martial, while those
favoring revision are furious at this
new attempt to defeat Justice, and pro-
test against the court martial being
ordered Nobody believes that Col.
Picquart is guilty Of any crime, ex-
cept courageous desire to render
justice to Dreyfus, but on all sides it
is recognized that in a court martial
he may be condemned on some techni-
cality, thus attaining the apparent OBJ
ject, which Is to throw doubt upon his
depositions before the court Of cassa-
tion in the Dreyfus trial.
Every one is asking the motive of
Gen. Zurlinden in so persistently pur-
suing Col. Picquart, and why court
martial, if ordered, could not be post
pcned until the decision of the court
Of cessation has been given.
Every one is asking whether it is a
desperate attempt to shield the former
minister Of war, Gen. Mercier, and the
general staff, even at the risk Of pre-
cipitating disaster and the nation s
hatred, and, in any event, of driving
every doubling person into the Drey-
fusite party.
SENSATION COMING.
A protest against rhe court martial
Of Picquart, bearing the signatures OF
leading authors, politicians ard Jour
nalists, is being widely circulated for
further names, and will be presented
to the government.
This evening 1t is reported that M.
de F'reycinet, minister for war, has
consented to be interpellated on the
subject In the chamber of deputies,
next Monday, when a sensational scene
may be expected.
Another feature Is the advent Of hos
tile criticism now poured upon NJ de
Freycinet, who is accused CT quailing
before Gen. Zurlinden and the general
staff. Maitre Labori, Col. Picquart's s
counsel, says he is Convinced that it
will be impossible to condemn Picquart
on the charge of forgery, but that the
accused officer may possibly be con-
6emned on the charge of communicat-
ing secret documents, although the
documents were in no way inimical to
the state.
Col. Picquart continued his evidence
before the court of cessation during
the whole day, and his deposition is
expected to consume several days more.
There is some hope that he may secure
Justice, owing to the presence on the
court martial of Col. Bonal, who is a
great friend of Col. Picquart. but NJ
Clemenceau declares that the court
martial is packed and accuses De Frey
cinet of allowing an innocent man to
be victimized in order to increase his
own chances at the next presidential
election.

NOT AN ExPANSlONIST.
One Senator Voices His Views on
the Philippine Question.

WASHINGTON. Nov 25. = Senator
Francis NJ. Cockren has arrived in
Washington after a long and ex-
haustive campaign in his native state
of Missouri, the result of which assures
his reelection to the senate for a fifth
term.
1T is impossible to say what the
senate will do with the peace treaty,
as it is not known yet what the con-
ference at Paris will agree upon final
ly," said the senator. Personally, l
am opposed to taking the Philippines.
The policy OF expansion. about which
we hear so much. is not defined very
clearly by its advocates. but it seems
to me that the annexation of islands
thousands of miles from our coasts
viii involve very grave questions. and
it is of doubtful wisdom. In my judg-
ment, it is entirely unnecessary.

ABELINE, Kan, Nov. "a failure
involving cattle interests throughout
the Southwest was precipitated here
today when an attachment suit for
$4,000 was filed against Grant c. Gill
lett, of Woodbine, by the Gillespie
Commission company, of Kansas City.
Gillett controls thousands of cattle
on the southwest ranges and his lia.bil-
tiles are believed to be over 1000, O00
The career Of Grant c. Gillett has
been Of the skyrocket order. He is
but thirty-one years Of age, and his
operations have startled the more
conservative stockmen. Four years
ago he lived on mortgaged quarter
section of land, near Woodbine. where
he began in his cattle trade by feed
ing steers for others. In this ne was
successful, and on the little ranch lie
laid the groundwork Of a business
which has enabled him to handle over
900 cattle within the last three
years. His methods were as novel as
they were daring. Soon he seemed to
have unlimited credit. He bought great
droves of cattle in Texas and brought
them north for sale and feeding. Soon
he organized his celebrated cowboy
band, composed of plainsmen In his
employ, and, when he rode about the
country in his special car, he took his
band of musicians with him. He even
took them into Eastern cities, where
they attracted much attention.
