Spanish Peace Com missioners Informed
That Cuba Ia Not In State OF An
archy aud VIII Not Be.

London, Oct IS. The Paris corre-
spondent of the Times says At the
sitting of the peace commission yes
terday afternoon the American COM
missioners officially-and it would
seem efinitely-rejected the idea of
accepting sovereignty over Cuba for
the United States. The Spanish COM
missioners thereupon remarked that
Spain having abandoned such sover-
eighty under pressure from the United
States, and the United States having
denied that sovereignty henceforth
belongs to them, Cuba is de facto
in a state of anarchy, as an inter
mission of sovereignty cannot be
viewed in any other light The Amer
lean commissioners rejoined that,
without accepting sovereignty, the
United States considered themselves
depu led and bound to maintain secur-
ity for all the inhabitants; that they
would not fail to introduce and up
hold order, and, in short, they would
do all that was necessary to put the is
land in state of normal organization,
to be transformed at the earliest mo-
ment into a legal regularity, satis-
factory for the security of all.

William r. Shafter was accorded a
most generous welcome by Omaha
yesterday. When his train arrived in
the morning, large number of people
had gathered at the station to greet
the hero of Santiago Later, upon the
exposition grounds, the manifesta-
tions of love and respect for the gen..
eral were everywhere in evidence His
address was plain, matter-of-fact
discussion of the Cuban campaign,
and his simple presentation of the
main events of the campaign was far
more effective than the most exalted
oratorical effort from one who had not
participated in the struggle. One or
two statements made by the general
are new. He said, with the fall of El
Caney, the campaign was practically
over:
1t was simply necessary 20 convince the
Spanish commander that his case was hope
less He eventually surrendered. and. with our
small army. we ha1 captured % 376 prisoners,

the Spaniards surrendered. when they could
have abandoned their position and kept up the
war, do not yet understand but / believe it
was because they had been informed that the
Spanish government had decided 10 give up the
fight and surrender their soldiers In the east
ern part OF the island
The general extolled the virtues of
the volunteer as we'll as the regular,
asserting that all did their whole duty.

he selected this man, and no doubt knew

and chat II war should come he would be

reasons, he appointed him, Why should

consequences Moreover, he has had
ample opportunity to watch at closest
range all that Alger has been doing in
preparing for the wsr, during It's progress
and since its close. His failure to inter-

secretary's conduct. He has no right to
hope to escape his share of the terrible

dead soldiers who. but for the gross in

mates would today be healthy and happy
heroes, ready for further service on the
field whenever called upon.
