in the form in which these demands have been provisionally agreed to. In this event it will be possible for the joint commission to continue its ses- sions and proceed to the consideration and adjustment of other matters, in- cluding those which, as subsidiary and incidental to the principal provisions, should form part of the treaty of peace"
 It was at this juncture that the Americans notified the Spaniards that they desired to treat of the religious freedom of the Carolines, as agreed to twelve years ago: also of the release of political prisoners now held by Spain in connection with the instructions in Cuba and the Philippine Islands; also of the taking over of the islands of Ku- safe, or Ualan. in the Carolines, for a telegraphic and naval station; also of cable station rights at other points in Spain's jurisdiction; also of the renewal of certain treaties previously in force between the United States and Spain, and which may have lapsed or been vitiated by war.

PRACTICAL ULTIMATUM

tional and individual, since the out break of the last Cuban instruction. Should she refuse she would also lose, probably, as further indemnity for the expense of conquest, one of the Caro- lines, which she may now sell; and other cable privileges within Spanish jurisdiction might be taken by the United States without any return to Spain for them.
 This evening the Spaniards, doubt less, do not know whether they will ac- cept or reject the American terms They are telegraphing the substance of the American memorandum to Madrid and they expect reply at Wednes- days meeting.
 Possibly they may conclude that be- cause one money offer is made another and larger offer may follow pressure upon the American Commissioners.
 But if this be their expectation it will not be realized. The American terms, submitted almost at the close of the eight weeks of patient hearing and painstaking argument. are practical ultinaturi.
The San Francisco call., 1898-11-21

The Americans also refused to arbi- trate article of the peace protocol, bearing upon the future disposition and control of the Philippine Islands.
 The meeting was then adjourned until Wednesday.
 The memorandum of the American Commission embodying the above propositions is long and was not read in full. The vital portions, however were communicated verbally to the Spanish Commissioners in practically these terms:
 The fact was cited that the proposal presented by the American Commits sioners on behalf of the Government for the cession of the Philippine Isl ands to the United States having been rejected by the Spanish Commissioners and the counter proposal of the latter for the withdrawal of the Americans from the islands and the payment of an indemnity by the United States to Spain having been rejected by the Americans. the latter deeming it es- sential that the present negotiations. already greatly protracted. should be brought 10 an early definite conclusion, now begged to present a new proposi- ton embodying the concession. which. for tho sake of ~eaCe. their Government would. under the circumstances. be willing to tender
 The Government of the United States Is unable Co modify the proposal here tofore made for the cession of the entire archipelago of the Philippines, but the American Commissioners are author ized to offer to Spain. ln case the ces- sion should be agreed to. the sum of s20 000. o00 co be paid in accordance with the terms fixed with the treaty Of peace. It being the intended policy Of tho United States to maintain in the Philippines an open door 10 the worlds commerce. the American Commission CTS are prepared to insert in the treaty now in contemplation a stipulation 10 the effect that. for a term of years spanish ships and merchandise shall be admitted into Philippine ports on the same terms as American ships and merchandise.

ONE MAN ROUNDLY KISSED
He Favored Abridging the Religious Ser
vices in Order to Facilitate Work.

Milwaukee. Aug. 24.-The German Ro-
ings were somewhat exciting to-day.
There was a great deal Of criticism with
reference to the manner in which some
OF the delegates conducted themselves.
it being charged that instead of attend
ing the meeting they have been prone
to stay away and have a good time at
the expense of the societies they repre-
sent. An effort was made to cure this
by an amendment to the constitution,
but IL was defeated for want of q practi-
cal plan.
An effort was made to facilitate the
work of future conventions by cutting
down the religious ervices One OF the
delegates who favored this proposition
was roundly Kissed for several Of his
utterances.
What rules will govern future
tions will be entirely discretionary with
the committee in charge of the future
convention. A strong effort was made
to secure an amendment to the consti-
tuition so as TO provide for a ritual for
the societies, particularly for initiating
purposes.
1t was decided that each society shall
regulate the reception of new members
according to circumstances and unhind-
cred by cold ritualistic rites. An amend
ment providing for seml-annual sessions
was rejected and the plan to send a
delegate TO Germany to represent the
vereln at the convention of the German
society also failed. This was intended
as a compliment to DIR. Lieber
The constitution was also amended 80
as to provide for the appointment of a
committee to revise the constitution of
the widows and orphans fund, and this
VIII be done at the next session.
1t is very likely that the next con-
vention will be held in st. Paul.
