AMERICA DEMANDS
 ANOTHER ISLAND.
Asks For One In the Caroline Group and Landing Places For Cable on Any Of Tint Group of
 Islands.

Paris, Nov 23-The Spanish and American peace commissions met in joint session at Saturday afternoon. The Americans declared the United States must have the entire Philippine archipelago, and for treaty of the ces. sion of the islands the Americans ten dered Spain $20, ,ooo.
 It further declared that it is the pur. pose of the United States to maintain the Philippine islands as "open door, to the worlds commerce.
 On the terms named the United States proposes to mutual relinquishment of all claims for indemnity, national or per. sonal, subsequent to the last outbreak of the Cuban insurrection.
 Nov. 28 was fixed as the date on which Che United States commission desires a definite response to yesterdays propo- sitions and all other subjects at issue.
 It also declared the United States desires to treat upon the religious free- dom of the Caroline islands, as agreed upon between the United States and Spain in 1886, and also the acquisition of one of the Caroline islands for an American naval station and cable land ing rights at other places of Spanish jurisdiction and a revival of certain Spanish-American treaties heretofore in force
 The meeting then adjourned until Wednesday.
 The Americans also refused to arbi- trate article 5 of the peace protocol bear ing on the future disposition and con trol of the Philippine Islands.
 The Soleil, reviewing at length the peace negotiations, says:
 "How miserable is the fate of our Spanish neighbors. American rapacity has not left them an inch of territory they have possessed in America since the time of Columbus or in Oceanica since Magellan. But that is not the worst of their misfortune. Their whole edifce, political economy and administration is going to pieces. Their parliamentary parties, which, moreover, never had a strong root, is completely disorganized and no one dares to assume the respon- sibility of power The present minis try remains because no one wishes to re- place it. But it is almost powerless be. fore the ills which threaten the coun- try"
 Touching the fate of the Spanish sol- diers, who are now returning to life of idleness, The Soliel says:
 ''If they employ their leisure in con- spring, no one can reasonably be as. tonished"
 The Petit Bleu says:
 "Spain is becoming resigned at the idea of giving her islands up and the cortes will understand and approve the Inevitable sacrifice.
 The Figaro declares Spain will give in because she is powerless.

G e. for some time past the Duluth
canal has been much too narrow to care
for all the traffic at the head Of the

was obtained through direct purchase,
for the purpose of widening the canal
to about twice its present width, deep
ening it and extending the piers out
into the lake, so as to enable steamers
to enter In any kind of weather.
A part of the property required could
not be secured by purchase and the war
department instituted condemnation
proceedings.
Commissioners were appointed and
filed their appraisals and yesterday the
matter came up in the district court
on motion to confirm the award of
the commissioners as to certain owners
only, the time not having yet expired
in which others might take appeal

port was confirmed and judgment enter
ed vesting title in the United States,
and awarding $4,000 to the two claim
ants. The government was by the same
judgment ordered to pay into court the
$4,000.
There have been but two appeals
taken during the entire proceedings,
one in behalf Of Frederick G. Squires,
Of Minneapolis and the other in behalf
Of the estate Of Wilhelm Boeing These
appeals will be heard during the next
session Of the United States district
court, converting at Duluth, May 10

the intention of the war department to
rush the work as quickly as portions Of
the land are acquired.
