scription of the Notifications of Ha-
vana. Beside old guns, there are IS
new guns. These guns are principally
of the Hontoria and Ordonez uattern,
but there are few Krupps among
them. The strength of the Spanish

the island Of Cuba is: Mauser rifles
and carbines, lsl.Ol5; Remington rifles,

ber only 50. 900 are believed to be new.
OF cartridges there are 5000, 900.
Great ingenuity has been displayed
in the construction of sunken masked
batteries. Closely underlying much Of

in character and will have the suppor,
of many leading religious denomina-
tiOns. Commander Booth will be presi.
dent of the federation, and there will be
. vice president who will be selected

LONDON, Oct. ia dispatch to .
London news agency 0ys: Monday
the conference reached . crisis for the
llrst. time. Judge Day presented the
demands Of the American commission
in threatening words. He said that
delay was the only possible object It
tainable BY the persistent efforts Of the
Spanish commissioners to saddle the
United States with tho Cuban debt and
would be tolerated no longer. - the
United States would neither assume nor
guarantee any part Of the debt.
The Spaniards replied this placed
Spain in . position Of repudiating or Of
reducing the face value Of tho Cuban
bonds from 50 to 60 per cent. paying
only half the stipulated interest on their
reduced value. Before they would adopt
either alternative they would surrender
10 the United States the entire Philip
pines.
Judge Day responded that the sur
render Of the Philippines would prob.
ably be demanded irrespective Of the
Cuban o. any other debt.
This, to the Spaniards. the first init.
nation Of the intentions of the United
States - to the Philippines, resulted in
whispered conference, followed by .
request for an adjournment in order to
communicate with Madrid. Judge
Day said that President Mckinley had
instructed him to demand the entire
surrender of Porto Rico today (Tues-
day. and tho delivery Of every town
to the United States officers before mid
night, together with the evacuation Of
Havana ON or before Nov. l. when the
United States would be at the gates Of
the city ready to take possession.
There was no alternative offered in
the case Of either of these demands and
the session consequently was very brief.

oeived dispatches from Washington.
