London, October 1S.-A dispatch to a
London news agency from Paris says
to-day (Monday) the coference reached
a crisis for the first time 1nlnaua1
presented the DEMANDS OF the AmGrTcdn
commission in threatening words. He
said that delay was the only possible
object attainable by the persistent eff
forts of the Spanish commissioners to
saddle the United States with the Gu
ban debt and would be tolerated no
longer, as the United States would nei-
Their assume nor guarantee ay part of
the debt.
The Spaniards replied that this placed
Spain in position of repudiating or of
reducing the face value of the Cuban
bonds from fifty to sixty per cent pay
ing only half the stipulated interest on
the reduced value Before they would
adopt either alternative, they would
surrender to the United States the en-
tire Philippines.
Judge Day responded that the sur
render of the Philippines would prob
ably be demanded irrespective of the
Cuban or any other dfbt.
This, to the Spaniards the first in
timation of the intentions of the
United States as to the Philippines, re-
suited in a whispered conference fol-
lowed by a request for an adjournment
in order to communicate with Madrid
Judge Day said that President McKin-
ley had instructed him to command
the entire surrender of Porto Rico to-
morrow (Tuesday) and the delivery of
every town to the United States Off
GERS before midnight, together with the
evacuation of Havana On or before No
vember 1, 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 dmands, and
the session consequently was very brief
The American commissioners have re-
ceived dispatches from Washington in
dicating that the administration is ir-
ritated and indignant over the delay
of the Spanish commissioners.

The future of the PHILIPPINES has
been definitely agreed upon by
Dewey and the iusurgent chief Aguin-
aldo, as follows: The independence
of the philippines shall be pro-
claimed, Il republic is to be estab-
lished, the government whereof shall
be designated by President ASuiu
aldo, subject to the approval Of Ad-
lriral Dewey or Gen. Merit; an
American protectorate over the
islands shall be accepted on cond!
tons identical with those arranged by
Cuba; all the commerce of the Phillip
ines shall be free to all nations; COM
plete liberty of press and an associa
tion to be declared; the new govern
ment will prevent leprisals against
Spaniards and will preserve order.

til;zers, and asked that he be credited

manufacturer, presumiDg that man
of Senator Connor's standing would
procure tax tags only in Legitimate
way, Of course gave him credit for
them. There is no violation Of the
l.:v on the part of the manufacturer,
as be pays the tax on the goods sold.
The only fraudulent part of the
transaction is Senator Connors OBJ
tanning the tags in an illegitimate
way.
In like manner it might be proved
that many laws on our statute books
can be evaded. I admit, however,
that there is a weak place in the
fertilizer law just here. The law
should make it a misdemeanor for
manufacturers Or dealers to obtain
tax tags from anyone except those
legally authorized to sell them. The
other irregularities referred to by
Senator Connor were promptly re-
ported, through the board OF fertll-
izer control, to the attorney general
of the State, with all the evidence Ill
our possession, and the compromises
made by his advice. We know per-
fectly well that the fertilizer law Is
violated in some cases every year,
sometimes through ignorance Of the
law, and at other times. perhaps,
willfully, but the records OF the pres
ent administration show that there
ale a smaller number of cases Of
evasion of the tag tax, also OF deficient
fertilizers the past season than ever
before.
That the fertilizer law is imperfect
in some respects I admit, but that it
has not been honestly administered
I deny, and I defy Col. Tillman Or
any one else to prove the charges be
makes.
As to the efficiency Of the depart
ment in giving protection to the con-
sumers, the people themselves must
be the judges.

TIE Hawk and Alfonso XII.

Key West, July 9, $50 ?. NJ
There is now little doubt that the
Spanish steamer destroyed by the
Hawk, Prairie and Castine at Mariel
on Wednesday last was the trans
Atlantic liner Alfonso MI of nearly
G,00O tons Although the American
ships were unable to approach close
enough TO clearly establish her
identity on account of the brisk fire
from the steamer and the shore bat
teries, her appearance corresponded
almost exactly with the description
of the Alfonso MI, as given in
L!oyd's.
The destruction of the ship, was
daring piece of work. The credit
does not all belong to the Prairie,
whose Zig guns finally encompassed
the Spaniard's ruin and left her a
mass of blazing wreckage on the
beach. The work of the little con-
verted yacht Hawk was heroic TO
degree. 1t was she who first dis
covered tue enemy and alone gave
chase, running blck for the a<sis

by Ensign Scbo6eld, ard a Crew Of
