PHILIPPINE BONDS.
A Sudden Rush to Buy Them
Made In Paris.
[By James Creelman.J

Paris, Oct. 1O.-CCopyright, 1898, by
w. R. Hearst.)-It is possible that the
scandal about the mismanagement of
our army during the war may be sue
ceeded by a greater scandal about the
negotiations for peace in Paris.
1t was ex-Secretary Day who made
the motion in joint session of the Span
ish-American commission that the pro-
ceedings be kept an absolute secret.
This secrecy is maintained, not only
with respect to the joint sessions, but
also covers separate meetings of the
American commissioners.
Not only is the American public to
be kept in utter ignorance of what the
United States will propose to Spain as
a basis of peace, in order that the pend
ing congressional elections may not be
affected. but a few choice spirits have
apparently been let into the secret of
the situation so rigidly guarded from
the public.
In consequence a ring has been form
ed to buy Philippine bonds, and the
market is being secured for them. I
discovered two days ago that powerful
friends of both Spanish and American
commissioners had received inside in
formation that the United States will
insist upon anneXing the whole archi-
pelagO, and would assume respOnSib bill
ity for the Philippine debt although the
interest on the bonds might be reduced
from to 4, or even 3 per cent. know
tJat communications on the subject of
these bonds have been passing between
Paris and Madrid.
In order to test the situation, I tried
to buy some Philippine bonds in Mad
rid through French agents.
I at once discovered that a powerful
movement was on foot to gather up
the Philippine bonds. This is one of
the most suggestive results of Days
scheme of secrecy. Under its shelter
gigantic combinations seem to be form
ing enterprises that would be impOs-

licity let into the main features of the
negotiations.

FIRES BREAK OUT AGAIN.
Snow in Colorado Only Checked Them
Temporarily.

Marble, Colo, Oct. 10.-The big forest
fires are gaining momentum again, the
fall of a snow a week ago in the Elk
mountain range having proved only a
temporary check. The cattle herds are
being removed from the Muddy mead
ovvs, as prairie fires are sweeping them.
The intermOuntains country is ablaze
in several places, one of the heaviest
of fires devastating the country between
Slate and East rivers and the Pittsburg
breakers, and the town of Gothic is
again threatened.
A big blaze has been started on
Bellevue mountain, on the Maroon trail
of East Rocky creek. From the West
Elk mountains come reports of a mar
row escape of a party of crystal pros
pectOrs who had to move camp three
times in one night.
Great clouds of dense black and
white smoke hang over the valley by
mirroring red, ominous looking glares.

SPAIN IS POWERLESS.
Loss of All the Philippines is
Now Accepted.

Madrid, Oct 1O.-The eventual loss
of the entire Philippine group is now
accepted as a fact by the premier, Sen
or Sagasta, and his followers. 1t has
been learned that as late as last Tues
day the government attempted to pre-
vail upon France to exert her influence
and prevent, if possible, the yielding of
the islands to the United States. Ger
many and certain other powers were
counted on to bring to bear pressure,
but all of the hopes of Sagasta and his
ministers have now vanished, Tor
France while expressing sympathy for
Spain, declined to hold out encourage
ment in any form.
The disappointment is a most bitter
one for Spain and the queen regent.
The cabinet ministers have recently, it
is said, conferred, and practically &C
knoWledged that the case of Spain is
hopeless. The last hope was that the
powers might bring about the settle
ment of the Philippine question by in
ternationaI conference in case the Uni
ted States should insist upon anything
in excess of a, coaling station. The ex-
pected influence has not materialiZed,
and it is now realized here that the
French government, aware of the in
tention of Spain ultimately to dispose
of whatever can be saved from the
Philippine wreck to the highest cash
bidder would rather see the whole
archipelago annexed outright by the
United States than have it remain a
bone of contention, with the Likelihood
of its being some day transferred to
Germany. Such, at least, is the present
situation, subject, of course, to modifi-
cations when the American demands
are actually known in detail.
A rise of a few points has taken place
in the 6 per cent Philippine bonds, which
are held almost exclusively at Madrid,
Barcelona and Manila, and are largely
in the hands of JeSuitS and the mon
astic orders which have relations with

in one of the numerous suits she began
against him.
Detective Mintz says that at the time
he knew Mrs George she told him Sax
ton had promised to marry her as soon
as she could get a divorce from her hus-
band.
About a year ago Mrs. George was ar
rested and brought here on the charge
of having sent an obscene letter to Sax
ton through the mails. She was after
ward indicted and her case was to have
come to trial at the approaching term
of the United States court.
Mrs. George was out on bail, her bond
having been signed by Mayor Rice, of
Canton, who has been retained as one of
the lawyers to defend her against the
charge of murder.
In the letter upon which the arrest of
Mrs. George was secured, she expressed
her jealousy of Mrs. Eva, AIthouse be-
fore whose home the murder of Saxton
occurred, and in the letter she also
threatened to kill Saxton unless he car
ried out his promise to marry her.

Results of Dry Year Experiments at the Paso Robles Experiment
 Station.

BERKELEY, April 1S - Inspector Charles H. Shinn returned to-day from an extended visit to the university agricul- tural experiment station at Paso Robles. He reports that the experiments that have been made at the station with the Australian salt bush, forage plant es- pecially adapted to dry and poor soil, have produced most gratifying results, and that, in spite of the failure of hay and grain crops on account of the con- tinued dry weather, the salt bush plants have flourished.
 While passing through Kings City Inspector Shinn visited the Spreckels ranch. The immense pump which has re- gently been put in to pump water from the Salinas River to irrigate the land will be put in use in about two weeks. Beets will be planted, and in spite of the latcness in planting a good crop Is ex- pected.
 D. F. Sedgwick has resigned his position as foreman of the Paso Robles station. John Ooley an experienced vineyardist of Paso Robles, has been temporarily secured as workman in charge to manage the station until the regents appoint suc- cesSor to Sedgwick.
