thusiastic Crowd Amidst
Great Applaus.

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. President
Mckinley probably never received
more enthusiastic greeting than that at
the exposition grounds from the vast
crowd about the platform from which
he made an address. Hardly a SEN
tence was spoken by him which did not
evoke cheers. After President Wattles
introduced the distinguished guest, it
was fully five minutes before the sub
sidence of applause permitted the Pres
ident to begin speaking. In the course
of his speech he said: No deliberation
can be too mature, or self control too
constant, in this solemn hour of our
history. We must avoid temptation to
undue aggression, and aim to secure only
such results as will promote our own
and the general good. He paid elo-
quent tributes to the army and navy.

PARIS, Oct. 12-The sittings yester-

the United States and Spain were de-
voted, according to the Gaulois, to the
solution which it is possible to give two
questions in the protocol. The Philip
pine question was discussed incidental
ly, the United States commissioners

tire group by assuming the debt. pro.
vided Spain guarantees the Cuban debt
The Spaniards wish the United
States to assume the Cuban debt and
hand over all the war material in Cuba
and Pue to Rico.
The discussion was very animated.
The Americans consider they cannot
discuss the principles forming the ba-
sis of the protocol, to which the Span
iards reply that the protocol was signed
at critical moment under so pressing
a necessity that it cannot be considered
as expressing the sovereign will of free
nation.
