Announcement Made That President Me-
Kinley Has Reconsidered His Intention
to Pay All the Philippine Debt.

Washington, Nov. l2.--Instead OF
paying Spain 5000, 900 as an indem-
nifty for the cession of the Philippine
islands to the United States President
Mckinley intends to reimburse her
only for the debt of about ST, 900, 900
contracted for public improvements.
The president and his cabinet have
carefully noted that the sentiment ex-
pressed throughout the country by
the elections has been in opposition to
the suggestion to indemnify Spain to
the extent it was first proposed AS
put out by the administration author
tiles, it was intended to give the cap
ital of the entire debt foated with
the Philippine islands as security and
amounting to $4,000, 900. What will
be paid by the United States, accord
ing to the present intention of the
president, is the debt contracted by
Spain for the establishment of light
houses, harbor improvements and pub
lie buildings. All told, this does not
amount to very large sum, being
fixed at about $1,000, 900.

trouble Has probably Ended.

Columbia, S. c., Nov. 70. Sheriff Nc
Caslam, of Greenwood county, in which
Phoenix is located, wired the governor
yesterday that things were perfectly
quiet and excitement all gone. Late
news from the scene of the recent
lynchings indicate that the angry pas
sions of the people are subsiding, and
no further bloodshed is now to be ex.
pected unless two negroes, Circuit and
White, or Henderson, white man, all
of whom the crowd wish To secure, are
found. There is every reason to be-
lieve that all three have made good
their escape.
