CHANGE IN GERMANY.
Feeling Now More Favorable TO our
Holding the Philippines.

(Copyright 1898, by the Associated Press)
BERLIN, october S-There has been
great change in German public opinion
on the subject of the retention of the
Philippine Islands by the United States.
The feeling toward America, generally,
Is much more favorable than it was a
couple of months ago.
IT is significant that this week TWO
napers of such standing at the Koinische
Zeitung and the Vossisiche Zeitung have
published long letters from German mer-
chants settled in the Philippine Islands
in which American annexation is strong
ly advocated.
Another significant fact this week was
that a delegation representing German
and German-Swiss firms in the Philip
nine Islands called at the United States
embassy TO express hopes that America
would not relinquish the Islands, and
nboye all, not to return them to Spain,
which. the delegation claimed. would
mean a recurrence of the revolution and
the perpetuation of commercial troubles.
Privy Councillor Schwartzenstein, for
nerly of the German embassy at wash
ineton. declares that Germany does not
dream of putting obstacles in Americas
way.

THE PEACE WORK IN PARIS.
Spanish Proportions beyond Possi-
biitty of Acquiescence.

PARIS. october S.--The United States
peace commissioners began their usual
'hree-nours session at IL o'clock this
morning They are understood to have
taken into consideration direct sugges-
tons and counter propositions from the
Spaniards, of which the Americans now
have enough 90 engage their attention at
the daily sessions. II may be regarded as
quite likely that the Spaniards have al
ready outlined their apparent expecta-
TONS and that they are beyond the line
OF possible acquiescence by the Ameri-
cans The latter are now acting along
well-considered lines. consistently. and
with definite end in view. They have to
some degree disclosed American expecta-
ton and determination. The Spaniards
however, seem unable or unwilling. at the
outset. to understand or believe that the
Americans may, or have at the outset,
set forth their requirements, and that
they are destined TO remain virtually I'M
changed by finesse or counter diplomacy.
PHILIPPINE QUESTION.
While the Philippines have not yet been
reached in the deliberations, the question
regarding them is doubtless relatively not
far distant, and at that point Is likely 10
come the full stress of the diplomatic
controversy.
Referring to the Philippine phase OF
the negotiations, the Gaulois to-day says:
The question was somewhat touched
upon. though not discussed, yesterday, but
there was enough to indicate serious dif-
ficulties when 1t does come up
The first session lasted two hours.
INVITATION TO GRAND PRIx.
President Faure. through the United
States Ambassador. General Horace Por-
ter, to-day invited the American Commits
sion to visit the Long Champs race-course
on Sunday, in order to witness the race
for the PTiX Municipal.
Tho Americans, through the Ambassa-
dor. thanked the President. but declined

The commission reconvened Tor Two

THE AUTONOMIST GRIEVANCE.
Copyright. 1898, by the Associated Press)
SAN JUAN, ISLAND OF PORTO
RICO. October S.-The leading politicians
of the island are very much concerned
about the future government of Porto
Rico. After a prolonged struggle they had
succeeded. Just before the opening of the
war. i'm securing from Spain the outward
semblance of complete autonomistic
regime.
The result of the war. the transfer OF
sovereignty to the United States, accept
able as IL was to all classes generally, oil
course upset the plans of many OF the
leading natives. who had ambitlousiy

The correspondent here Of the Asso-
ciated Press had an interview with LUIS
Munoz Riviera, the President OF the
Insular Government under the autono-
rnistic regime. in which he made 1t plain
that the people OF the island would not
take kindly to a system which destroyed
their individuality.

occupied the attention OF the commission
during the afternoon. He reached the
camp on August I'd. and MADE an imne-
diate inspection OF the kitchens. lie
four some of them not we'll managed, as
all ol the army cooks were not experts.
He believed that for an army In camp
green coffee was preferable to the roasted,
as 1t was stronger and fresher. The meat
he considered good. and II was received
on time. except In one instance. Upon
complaint by the Second New Jersey
Regiment, he investigated meat which
had been rejected by IL. Some o. this
meat was eaten by the brigade officers
and found to be wholesome. The next
day the same regiment rejected consign-
ment Of corn beef, but this also he found
to be eatabie. The men were literally
supplied with food and the location OF the
camp was good. Still. there has been an
increase Of disease. which he attributed
to the climate and to the assembling of a
large body of men. He also thought de-

an influence in producing disease.
NEW JERSEY TROUBLES.
General Dodge read letter to the wilt
ness from a member of the Second New
Jersey Regiment. saying that some OF the
regiment were dying OF starvation ana
others were completely broken down.
Captain Baldridge said there had been
great deal OF complaint from this regi-
ment. They received their full ratious,
and he attributed their troubles partially
to the fact that they had an inexperienced
man as ccmrnissary of subsistence. The
regiment had also made a contract with
an outside baker, which gave each COM
pany only Al IL loaves Of bread per day.
The full ration would have given them
twice as much.
Captain Baldridge said he had no COM
plaint to make of the officers of this regt-
ment, except that they were without ex-
perience. He instanced the fact that
when the regiment was ordered to Pablo
Beach, with the exception of two COM
panies. the main body took all the ra-
tions. leaving nothing to eat for those
left behind.
Captain Baldridge said that when he
first went to Jacksonville the potatoes
were small and were not good, but after
wards the quality improved.
The commission here adjourned.

should not lack for blessings, since the
evil must be great from which separ-
ately or together they are unable to
defend US. But. lady. if 1 may ask it,
have you bid farewell to your most
honored father?"
Torment me not" murmured ELISA.
Indeed, l did not wish to, though
you may remember that not so long
ago you threatened to silence me for
ever. Well, doubtless your departure
is too hurried for farewells, and, for
tunately foreseeing it. have provided
spare mules. SO that my deeds are
kinder than my words. 1 go to see that
start. Presently l will return for
you" and he left the chamber.
When he had gone they gathered
around the tables, on which stood food,
but could touch little, for the hearts
of all three of them were filled with
sad fOrebOding. Soon they heard a
noise as of people talking eXcitedly out
side the palace gates.
1T is Metem with the mules" said
Aziel.
y hope So" answered ELISA.
Again there was silence, which, after
awhile, was broken by a loud knocking
at the door.
Rise" said Aziel; "Metem comes
for u.s.
NJ. no. CfItu ISllSSd- II is Doom
that knocks, not Metem.'
AS the words passed her lips the door
was burst open, and through it poured
mob of armed priests, at the head Of
whom marched the Shadid. By his
side was his daughter Mesa, in whose
pale face the eyes burned angrily like
lamps in a wind.
Did l not tell you so?" she cried in
shrin voice, pointing at the three.
Behold the Lady Baaltis and her
lover, and with them that priest of a
false god who called down curses upon
our city,
You told us. indeed, daughter" an
swered the Shadid: pardon us if we
were loath to believe that such a thing
could be-" Then, with a cry of rage,
he added, "Sieze them and away to the
dungeonsi"
Now Aziel drew his sword and sprang
IN front of ELISA to protect her, but
before he could strike a blow it was
struck down from behind, and he was
gripped by many hands, gagged, bound
and blindfolded. Then, like a man in
dream, he felt himself carried away
through long passages, till at length
he reached an airless place, where the
gag and bandages were removed.
Where am II" he asked.
In the dungeons of the temple"
answered the priests. as they left the
vault, barring the great door behind
them.
