booming Cannon, footing Whistles

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-Sampson's
squadron arrived off Atlantic High
| lands at 7:3O O'Clock this morning. 1t
will arrive at Tompkinsville at 10
O'Clock in readiness to start on a tri
umphant parade to Grants Tomb
All the preparations are complete
and the occasion will be one of the
most memorable of the century. The
city is in holiday attire and vast
crowds are assembling at the water
front to witness the spectacle. Many
excursion boats, etc., are in the har-
Dor, awaiting the arrival of the fleet.
IMMENSE ENTHUSIASM.
At 9:l5 the squadron was sighted at
Fort Wadsworth, the flagship New
York leading. AS it drew abrea st the
fort it was saluted by all the guns.
There was no reply from the flagship
except the dipping of her ensign thrice.
The vessels steamed gradually onward,
when suddenly a puff of smoke, fol-
lowed by thunderOus roar from the
New York, told that they were now
| answering the forts salute. Gun after
gun fired until the necessary nine-gun
salute had been given. The squadron
was then to be seen in the following
order: New York, Iowa, Indiana,
Brooklyn, Oregon and Massachusetts.
As the ships approached Tompkins-
vile the battleship Texas thundered a
salute of seven guns which was returned
by the New York. The Oregon was
the only vessel in the squadron con-
spicuous by carrying bunting. 1t was
completely covered. No stop was made
at Tompkinsville, where the Texas
slowly and majestically swung in line
for the parade on the river.
In passing the battery the reception
was most enthusiastic. The Brooklyn
saluted and from there the squadron
passed up the river ami6Yehores crowd
ed with vast throngs, to6Ging whistles
and shouts of great enthlhiiasm. No
such time was ever witnesS.Ad before
in the city. The firing of sahtes was
kept up along the river to Grants
tomb where impressive ceremonieawere
held. The ships then slowly steamed
down the river.

Anxious to Have the United States
Lose It's Valuable Coaling
Station at Pago-

iERMANY'S SUBTLESCHEMING
WOULD OBTAIN POSSESSION OF
THE ISLANDS.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-A private let
ter just received in this city from a
resident Of Apia, Samoa, written on
November 2, states that Americans liY-
ing in the Samoan capital are eagerly
looking forward to the arrival of an
American warship at that port. No
man of-War flying the United States
flag has been in Samoan waters for
several years. In view of the new
policy of expansion which the Govern
ment of America has adopted Ameri-
cans living in Samoa, says the writer,
believe that the interests of their coun-
try demand that an American WarShip
be more frequently seen in that part
of the world, especially in view of the
forthcoming acquisition of the Philip
pines and the German opposition to &C
QUESTION of territory in the Far East
by the United States. There were two
British and two German war vessels in
port when the letter was written.
Germany, according to the writer of
the letter, is conniving and scheming
in devious, subtle and quiet ways to
gain sole possession of Samoa, thus
driving out American and English
trade competition and becoming abso-
lutte owner of the islands, which would
eventually be of great Importance to
the United States, particularly on the
completion of the Nicaragua canal.
Germany, the writer adds, is anxious
to bring matters about in such man
ner that eventually the United States
may in one way or another lose pos
session of the coaling station at Pago-
Pago, Which 1t now possesses.

FINAL APPEAL Is ALLOWED
ALLEGED DECEPTION IN BURIAL
OF THE DUKE OF PORTLAND.
His Daughter-in-Law Will Have an
Opportunity to Establish the
Claims of Her Son to the
Title and Estate.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, Nov. 25.-The faculty of
the diocese of London has granted
Mrs. Anna Maria bruce, a daughter
in-law of the late Thomas c. bruce,
who. she asserts, was the fifth Duke
of Portland a permit to open and in
spect the coffin alleged to contain the
remains of her father-inlaW, man
said to have been buried as Thomas G.
bruce.
Chancellor Tristan, in rendering the
decision at the Consistory of the Court
of ST Paul's, granted fifteen days for
an -ppeal. Notification of an appeal
was Immediately filed.
A final order was obtained by Mrs.
bruce in the High Court of Appeals on
November 2, directing the faculty
and the Chancellor of the diocese of
London to issue a permit to allow her
to open the coffin.
Mrs bruce claims that the alleged
death and burial of her father-in-law
were receptions and that he lived and
finally died in lunatic asylum as Mr..
Harmer. Her son, whom she asserts
is the rightful Duke of Portland, is
said to be domestic servant and was
last heard of in Australia.
Mrs. bruce says her father-in-law, as
the fifth Duke of Portland, having suf-
fered keen remorse and AFFECT fear as
the result of the tragic death of his
brother, Lord George Bentinck-the
two having been in love with the same
woman-adopted the name of Thomas
Charles bruce, transferring to himself
as bruce an immense property. After
ward, having realized the risk of ex-
posture from his double existence, he
caused a coffin to be buried, containing
his supposed remains.
If Mrs. bruce can establish her con-
tention that her father-in-law did not
die in 1864, as supposed, the will can be
invalidated and her son will become
entitled to the estate and title now
held by William, Duke of Portland.
A recently published estimate of the
Dukes rent rolls places the amount at
nearly G 400, 900 yearly.

mean that imports from Great Britain
and all other foreign countries are 10
be admitted at the same rate Of duty
as imports from the United States.
''Of course, this policy coulo not De
applied to the Philippines IL they
should be admitted into the Union with
a territorial form of government, be-
cause the constitution provides that
duties shall be uniform within the
United States, unless there should be
an amendment to the constitution per-
hitting this Whether it would be pos
sible to apply this policy to the Philip
pines after they should become a part
of the territory of the United States
under that provision of the cOnstitu-
ton which authorizes Congress TO make
needful rules and regulations respect
ing the territory or other property of
the United States, am not prepared
to say. 1t is noticeable, however. that
in the resolution providing for the an
nexation of Hawaii, passed at the last
session of Congress, 1t was provided
that the Hawaiian Islands tariff should
continue in force until Congress should
otherwise determine.
1T is to be borne in mind, however,
that the present talk about an open
door policy for the Philippines is in
tended to apply entirely to those ISL
ands while under a military admins
tration, which would be permissible,
and not to apply to those islands after
they shall have been formally recOg-
nized as a part of the United States.
I'm the discussion of the 'Open-doOr
policy L notice that many papers as
sumo that it is the uniform policy of
Great Britain in her colonies. 1t should
be borne in mind, however, that there
is conspicuous exception to the case
of Canada, her most Important colony,
which admits imports from Great Brit
ain at 25 per cent less duty than is
charged to us and other countries. 1t
is understood that this policy. was
adopted by Canada on the suggestion,
at least with the approval of, Mr..
Chamberlain, British Secretary for the
Colonies, and that he is urging other
colonies of Great Britain to give a sim
liar preference to that country"

Willing to Cede Certain Territory in

Special Dispatch to The Call.

PARIS. Nov. EST is now known
that Spain will exhaust her time limit.
which expires Monday, before replying
TO the American offer regarding the
Philippine Islands. In the meantime
the Spaniards are canvassing the entire
field and exhausting every resource TO
postpone the inevitable.
AS cabled to the Associated Press
Wednesday, they could not accept the
American ulti.latum as final without
asking if it were really so. That APP
nlied to the time limit. Now the Span
iards apparently doubt the fixedness of
the amount the Americans offered for
the Philippines, and to-day they sent
communication to the American Com
missioners, asking if the latter would
accept a counter proposition by Spain
70 cede the Philippines for $10000O,O 900.
Spain imagines the Americans might be
willing to lop off the great island of
Mindanao from the Philippines and pay
Spain $50, 900, 900 for what would re
main instead of 100000, 900 now offered
for the entire archipelago.
Spain, before giving up or turning
away, will also propose some alterna-
tive bargain of the Carolines or the Ca
nary Islands to be held in the possess
sion of the United States in addition to
the Philippine Islands, on condition
that Spain be permitted to retain her
sovereignty in the Philippines. In other
words. Spain would cede certain terri
tory in the Carolines and Canarles ana
the control of the Philippines by the
United States with a nominal Spanish
sovereignty, and as a further 1nduce-
ment. proposes that the United States
shall pay Spain no money on account
of the Philippine Islands.
Senior Montero Rios told the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press this
evening that the Spanish Peace Com
mission had not yet decided upon the
answer to be given to the last Ameri-
can memorandum.
1--WE are considering the matter" he
said, Sin a conciliatory spirit and are
anxious to re-establish friendly rela-
tions 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 de-
cided to accept the American offer Of
$2e, 900, 900 for the Philippines, Senior
Rios, shaking his head, said:
mo, no; the commission has not yet
decided on it's answer What our re-
ply will be can only be determined at
the conference on Monday, when we
will discuss the matter with the Ameri-
cans. At the same time" he added in q.
still lower voice, I'VE will follow the
instructions that may be received from
Madrid
Then the final instructions have not
yet come from Madrid?" asked the cor
respondent.
"Ah, but we are approaching a con-
fidential matter" said Senior Rios, in
nocently. Everything connected with
Doth commissions is a secret"

The phrase open door policy, which

means that imports from all countries

as imports from the mother country.

SATISFACTORY TERMS
WILL BE SECURED

NEW YORK, Nov. ga Washing
ton special to the Herald says: Presi-
dent Mckinley called a special meeting
of the Cabinet tonight to consider a
500-word cablegram from the Peace
Commission. which was received by
Secretary Hay late this afternoon: The
Cabinet was in session from $50 O'Clock
until II, and after the meeting members
were reticent as to what had trans
pired. They would only say that the
tone of the cablegram was very salts
factory and gratifying, as it indicated
that negotiations at Paris were nearing
an end and that the end would be en-
tirely satisfactory to this Government
1 was told the dispatch related to a
proposition that had been made by the
Spanish Commissioners, but that it did
not relate to the amount of money to
be paid for the Philippines. 1t is sug-
gested that it probably related to a
proposition that Spain is said to have
made that she be allowed to retain the
Island of MandanO
