Interpret Protocol.

Paris, Nov. 1.-THE meeting today Of
the Spanish and American peace com
missions began at 2.15 p. M, and ended
at p. m.
The Spanish commissioners at the
joint session this afternoon presented
long document in answer to the
American argument which was sub
mitted last week. BY mutual consent,
the memorandum of today was handed
to the Americans without being read,
and the meeting adjourned to Saturday
next. The Spanish communication will
be translated this evening and its con-
tents will be discussed by the United
States commissioners tomorrow at their
usual daily session.
The Spaniards In their communica-

they have assumed against the discus

he Refuses Proposal of Gen. Otis to
Release the Friars.

Manila, Nov. 16.--Gen- Otis, the com
mander of American forces. recently
proposed to Aguinaldo that he release
the Friars and civilians held in cap
tiyity throughout the provinces. The
insurgent leader denied their maltreat-
ment and refused to release the pris-
oners, claiming that the civilians had
enlisted as volunteers, and therefore
were legitimate prisoners of war.
Agulnaldo also denied that women
and children were detained, but said
some women and children had volun-
tarily accompanied their husbands or
fathers into captivity.
AS to the Friars, Aguinaldo argued
that they were prohibited by the pope
from accepting parochial appointments,
that they We're only permitted to fol-
low monastic life, and that the par
ishes were entrusted to ministers of the
Independent monastic orders. But the
Philippine ciericals had deliberately
and Systematically deceived the pope
pretending that the country was bar
oarous, unit for the regular ministry,
and 1t was necessary that monastic or
ders should administer the parishes.
Therefore, Aguinaldo considered it ne
cessary to detain the Friars until the
pope should be undeceiyed.

sanguinary mutiny has taken place

and that the native crew nlassacred

also appeal to the United States to
control the natives. Advices from Ilo-
lilo say the natives of that vicinity dis
trust Aguinaldo and want American

EXPANSION POLICY.
Grand Master Workman Hicks Takes
Strong Grounds Against It.

Chicago, Nov. 16.-Most of today
session of the Knights of Labor conven-
ton was devoted to the reports of COM
mittees and that of General Master
Workman Hicks. The report of the ex-
ecutive committee said in part:
lit seems next to impossible to secure
the passage by congress of a proper
measure to regulate immigration to our
shores. The influence OF foreign steam
ship companies appears to be all power
full to prevent any such Legislation.
THE judiciary, with q few honorable
exceptions, are merely the hirelings of
labor oppressors, and legislation is
necessary to reconstruct the courts In
functions. Imprisonment, bayonet and
bullets are awaiting the men who take
any decided stand against the en-
croachments of capital"
General Master Workman Hicks in
his annual report took strong grounds
in opposition to the anti-expansion
policy of President Gompers of the
American Federation Of Labor, mo
part of the territory where our nations
blood was lost or the flag raised, y said
Mr.. Hicks, should, under any pretext
be allowed to go out of our possession.
Still, we should not, under the curse OF
humanity, either take for our own or
return back to Spain any portion of
scenes of our various battles, but make
them all free and independent, Let us

WARMLY RECEIVED.


Boston, Nov. 1e.-Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, the newly elected governor
of New York state, delivered the first
of series Of eight lectures on "The
western movement of the American
people" before an audience of 1900 peo-
pie in Huntington hall tonight, under
the auspices of the Lowell Institute.
The audience was enthusiastic in its
greeting of the famous leader of the
rough riders, and it was some minutes
before he was able to proceed with his
lecture, which was of purely histor-
ical nature. Col Roosevelt traced the
advancement and expansion of the En-
glish, the Dutch, Spaniards, Portuguese
and French during the fifteenth and
sixteenth centuries, discussing the
character and progress of their move
ments into South Africa, Australia,
South America and into America it,

He spoke particularly of the back
woodsman of North America and his
predecessors, and described vividly the
hardships which he endured and the
progress he made in pushing the
frontier further westward through the
dense and tangled forests. He eulo-
gized the backwoodsman as an honest,
manly, thrifty man, and said that the
foundation which he laid for American
government and institutions was Of the
very finest character.

Paris, Nov. 16.-The speech of Joseph

WILL PAY SPAIN CASH.
America Proposes to Have Nothing to Do
With ANY Bond.

Washington, Nov. 16.-Up to This
point the discussion at Paris having
touched on principle, there has beenmo
attempt to give exact figures in rela-
ton to the amount of money that might
be paid to Spain by the United States
on account of the Philippines. Such, for
instance, was the statement that the
United States would reimburse Spain
for the Pacific expenditures made on
account of the Philippines for no one
here at the time had an exact know
ledge of what these expenditures
amounted to in the aggregate This has
been ascertained, however, to the salts
faction of the American commissioners
at least, and they will name the exact
amount of money which the United
States is willing to pay over to Spain on
this account
What is proposed is a cash payment
to the Spanish government, for the
United States does not purpose to enter
into any relations whatever with any
of the holders of any of the bonds is
sued by Spain, Notwithstanding the eff
forts of some of the European powers
to bring this result about AS to the
amount which will be Offered to Spain.
the officials here are mute, but it is be-
heved to lie somewhere between $780,
100000 and $4,000, 600. Our commission
eTs do not look for an unconditional re-
lection OF our offer, but believe there
will be an attempt on the part of the
Spanish commissioners to secure a lib
eral increase of the amount named, The
American commissioners are under in
structions to inform the Spanish COM
ntsHioners to secure a liberal increase
OF the amount named. The American
commissioners are under instructions to
inform the Spanish commissioners that
there can be no further delay in the
final conclusion of the work of the COM
mission, so it is expected a conclusion.
one way or the other will be reached

Il is Likely That Government VIII Make
No Attempt to Raise Teresa.

Washington, Nov. 16.-The armored
cruiser Infanta Maria Teresa has been
abandoned by this time and lies a
wreck off the coast of Cat island. The
department has wired Capt McCalEa
as follows:
IF you are satisfied, after consulta-
ton with the officers named, that the
Teresa cannot be saved you are au-
thorized to abandon the wreck. AS to
any other matters, exercise your own

FRENCH TREATY RIGHTS.
The Attitude of British Colonial Secretary
Approved at ST. Johns.

st. Johns, N. F., Nov. 16.--The speech
of Joseph Chamberlain, british secre-
tary of state for the colonies, before
the National Liberal Unionsts' confer
ence at Manchester England. yester-
day, in the course OF which he con-
demned the French policy in New
foundland along the treaty shore, gives
general satisfaction here. 1t is re-
garded as ensuring a speedy settlement
Of the question. Mr.. Chamberlain re-
Gently dispatched royal commission
here to inquire into the whole matter
of French treaty rights. The commits
sioners found the French claims far
more exacting than the treaties per-
mitted, and, before leaving a fortnight
ago to return to England, they ex-
pressed their intention of supporting
the case of Newfoundland upon every
count. There is no doubt that Mr.
Chamberlain's emphatic declaration at
Manchester is the result of conferences
he has had with the commissioners
since their return to England.

reciprocity now, as to countervailing
duties in the home markets as the
only alternative to ruin which is left

one, and the question Of Canadian an
