A RUPTURE EXPECTED.
In the Peace Negotiations at
Paris Tomorrow.

London, Nov 3-The Paris cores
pondent of the Morning Post says:
''It is expected that a rupture of the
peace negotiations Hetween the United
States and Spain will be officially an
nounced Friday.
''The feeling here is that the attitude
of the SpaniardS is irrational IN view or
the financial proposals OF the United
States and that they may ultimately
regret having failed to agree quickly
with the adversary"
London, Nov 3.-The Vienna CORES
pondent of the Times says:
1.-The Spanish commission cannot be
surprised neither can the Spanish gov
ernment by Americas decision to take
the Philippines. Possibly the Spanish
people were not prepared for it and the
commissioners are pretending surprise
so that the government may be better
able to face public opinion. Certainly
everybody outside of Spain must have
understood that the archipelago was
lost to SPAIN
London. Nov. s.-The Berlin cores
pondent of the Standard says:
Russia and another power are cred
tied with the intention of intimating to
washington that the annexation of the
Philippines must be preceded by a
common agreement on future action in
certain circumstances.
THE German papers express their
feeling very frankly. The Hamburg
States are conducting the peace negOti
ations as they conducted the war. The
mask of humanity is being gradually
dropped, revealing the brutal hand of
strength. When the protocol was
signed not a foot of Philippine soil was
in American hands. President Nc
Kinley demands the complete surrender
only because victory in the forthcoming
elections depends upon it. The Amer
lean demand, however, is less a blow to
Spain than to the European powers
which seem desirous of selecting naval
stations in the Philippines
1.-The BOerSen Courier admits that the
powers have no cause for interfering
but urges them to watch American ex-
pansion with jealous eyes.
THE National Zeitung says: IF Spain
can obtain compensation sufficient to
cover the Philippine and Cuban debts
lands. Looking to the commercial and
strategical value of the Philippines
we should not be surprised at resist
ance on the part of some of the powers
Moreover, it is evident that the inhabi-
tants will not calmly acQuiesce in
American annexation
1.-The Frankfurter Zeitung thinks that
after the elections the American COM
missioners are likely to make some con-
cessions since the chief question is
rather how to conquer the Philippines
from the inhabitants than how to over
come Spain's resistance
London, Nov .3.-The Vienna corres-
pondent of the Daily Telegraph says:
1.-THE Austrian cabinet considers an
English protectorate of the Philippines
the only proper solution of the Ques-
/ tion.''

Quantities
OF AMERICAN COAL.
Two British War Ships Arrive
at Sydney
To Mine the Entrance to the
Harbor of That City.
AMERICAN COAL.

Philadelphia, Nov. 3.-A morning pu-
per publishes the following:
1.-The probability of a war between
England and France received fresh i'm
petus here yesterday by the action Of
England, who purchased a large amount
of American coal for immediate delivery
at her West India naval stations. In
response to hurried cabIegrams from
London, ship brokers engaged in the
West India trade spent the greater part
of yesterday searching for tonnage suit
able to transport the coal from Phila-
delphia and Newport News to points
where it will be most convenient for
English war craft to fill their bunkers.
Sailing vessels from 1900 to 1000 tons
carrying capacity are particularly in
demand.
'aThe first SHIPMENTS are to be sent to
Kingston to be followed by vessels for
Bermuda, st. Lucia and Demerara,
which are the principal ports in the
West Indies subject to Great Britain.
1t is also proposed to discharge a part
of the purchase at St. Thomas, Dan
ish island where hul1s will be used.
1T was reported yesterday that two
British warships had been ordered here
to undergo slight repairs, which under
ordinary circumstances would have
been made at either Halifax, or the
Bermuda islands"
Halifax, N. S., Nov. 3.-The British
battleship Renown is In full fighting
trim, and last night the vessel tested
RenOwn has taken aboard large Quant1-
ties of ammunition and naval stores.
Sydney, c. B. L, Nov. 3.-The British
WarshipS Cordelia and Pelican arrived
today from Halifax. Their visit is re-
garded as extraordinary, as both were
supposed to leave for home to go out of
commission. The ships have submarine
mines and heavy guns aboard special
ly shipped at Halifax and it is reported
they will mine the entrance to Sydney
and st. Johns, N. F., harbOrS.
London, Nov. 3.-The fact that the
coast guardsmen throughout the United
Kingdom have been warned to be in
readiness for mobilization is regarded
as a menacing sign. Many of them
have already Joined their ships.
Capetown, Nov. 3.-In the Cape Col
ony assembly today w. P. Schriener, the
premier, introduced a bill proposing an
annual contribution by the colony of
thirty thousand pounds to the British
navy.

TWO KINDS OF RATIONS
Will Be Necessary for the American
Troops in the Future.

San Francisco, Nov. s.-Capt. Lee
Linn, chief commissary of the army in
the Philippines, who arrived here on the
Peru, is on his way to Washington with
official reports. His home is in Wabash,
Ind and he will stop there before re-
turning to Manila. He said in an in
tervieW: 'It IS probable that in the
future the government will have two
kinds of rafions-one for troops in the
temperate zone and another for soldiers
in the tropics. I suppose that more veg
etables and meat with practically no
fat will be provided for men on military
duty in the Philippines. I saw a mes
sage of complaint fled by the Colorado
regiment. The fault is not with the
government, nor with the commissary
1t is with the company cooks and the
company officers There is never any
complaint from the regulars. They know
how to husband their rations. They
even save sufficient to create quite a
company surplus fund.-

WITH ANXIOUS EYES
France is Observing EngIand's War
Preparations.

New York, Nov "a dispatch to the
Herald from Paris says:
France is regarding England with
anxious eyes. Everything indicates the
warlike spirit prevailing across the
channel. All the journals record the
British naval preparations with peSst-
mistic comments.
Nobody here desires war. In the first
place, Fashoda is not worth it. In the
second place, France is not ready II
force is resorted to it will be England
that insists upon it,
The Temps even advocates avoidance
of a struggle at any cost. France %
it argues "ought to consider her inter
ests and those of civilization, both of
which forbid an appeal to arms. She
ought to preserve her dignity by i'm
parting a new chara cter to her relations
with the United Kingdom. Some VIC
tories either diplomatic or otherwise,
are dearly purchased By abusing a
monetary advantage the risk is run
international politics in a. sense quite
opposite to the real interest of the
country which seems to triumph"
This means, presumably, that Eng
land is in a strong position, but that If
she pushes France too hard she risks
bringing about a European coalition
against her everywhere abroad.

DOUBTED Ar WASHINGTON.
The Departments are Deluged With
TeIegrams of Inquiry.


Washington, Nov. 3.-The reported
loss of the Panama causes great excite
ment at the war and navy department
and both were deluged with kilograms
from relatives and friends Of persons
believed to be on the transport, begging
for information. Neither department
has any information on the subject and
each discredits the report. To all in
quiries replies are being sent that the
department has heard nothing on the
subject and does not believe the story.
The principal foundation for the depart
ment's disbelief is that a telegram was
received from Gen Wood at Santiago
about midnight last night treating of
purely business affairs and saying moth
ing whatever of the rumored loss of the
ship. 1t is assumed that he would have
telegraphed if the rumor appeared to
be well based. Gen. Wood has been
wired regarding the report. Col Bird
of the war department, who has charge
of transportation matters says that the
Panama was regarded as thoroughly
SeaWOrthY.

ance with the proclamation of Ispar-

LOOKS 10 IRELAND.
French Journal Expects Revolution
if England Goes to War.

Paris, Nov 3.-The Liberte attributes
the recrudescence of the warlike atti-
tude in England to the return Of Mr..
Chamberlain, who may have thought
that as France accepts the principle Of
the evacuation of Fashoda, a few more
threats would procure further conces-
sions from her.
''This is by no means certain" argues
La Liberte. IF Great Britain seems
invulnerabl there are many points in
her empire where she may be attacked.
Her name is not exactly Venerated in
Ireland, where revolution might break
out the moment war was declared; be-
sides which it seems fairly certain that
a strong Abyssinian force Is rapidly
drawing near Fashoda."

The fashion by which Judge Samuel
Ashe, of the first North Carolina SUI
preme court, came to his death must
have been extremely mortifying to him,

turkey gobbler. One day, after he
had become very old and infirm, he was
placed in chair under the shade of
a tree in his yard. A red cap protected
his ancient noddle from the attacks of
flies, and his comfort was so well pro-
