Spaniards Refuse to Recede From
Their Position on the Philippines.
QUIBBLE OVER PROTOCOL.
Insist That the Disputed Clause Has
No Reference to Their Withdraw
nj From the Islands-An-
other Adjournment.

Paris, Nov. 17-The meeting Of the
Spanish American peace commissions
began at 2:15 p. m. and ended at p. m.
The Spanish commissioners presented
long document in answer to the Amer
lean argument which was submitted
last week. BY mutual consent the
memorandum was handed to the Amer
leans without being read, and the meet
ing adjourned to Saturday next. The
Spanish communication will be trans
lated and its contents will be discussed
by the United States commissioners at
their usual daily session.
The Spaniards, in their communica-
ton, reaffirmed the position which they
have assumed against the discussion
here of Spain's Philippine sovereignty.
They insist that the words shall de-
termine the control. disposition and
government Of the Philippines" in ar
ticle of the peace protocol. do not war;
rant any reference to Spain's with
drawal from the Philippines. except on
her own terms, and therefore the Span
iards propose arbitration on the con-
struction to be placed on the words.
"the control, disposition and govern
ment."
The Journal, referring to the peace
negotiations. says:
1--WE think that the extravagant ext
gencies of the United States have made
discussion almost impossible between
that country and Spain. Nothing but
submission on Spain's part seems posi-
BILE. AS the rumored Intervention OF the
German emperor Is a myth. Spain
should reconcile herself to the inevitable
and set herself about preparing for fu-
ture struggles"

NEGROES AROUSED.
Will Ask the President to act For
Their Protection.


indianapolis, Nov. 1.-THE auditori-
UNI Of the Bethel African Methodist
Episcopal church was crowded to the
doors with colored people drawn to-
gether to express their Indignation at
the killing OF negroes in the Carolinas
and in Mississippi and to take such ac-
ton as might be deemed practical and
advisable.
A committee of Ave appointed to
draft suitable resolutions reported a
series In which it was resolved that the
president be asked to call the attention
Of congress to the widely increasing
evil, in order that such action be taken
by congress to prevent recurrence Of
the outrage in the future.
1t was also urged that copy of the
resolutions be forwarded to the Indi-
ana senators and representatives in
congress, to the newly installed mayor
of Wilmington, N. c., and to the gov
ernor of the state, and also that copy
be sent to Governor Tanner Of Illinois,
Through whose neglect of right and
Justice negro miners were shot down by
the Illinois state militia at Virden."
A resolution was also introduced and
adopted providing for the selection Of
Ave colored citizens by the chairman.
who shall constitute a standing COM
mission bearing to the colored people Of
the country much the same relation as
was borne by the Cuban junta to the
Cuban patriots.

WHAT WE WILL PAY.
The Sum Spain Can Hope to Get For
the Philippines.

tue fn1AIPVAhC0s
Washington, Nov. IT. Up to this
point the discussion at Paris having
touched on principle, there has been no
attempt to give exact figures in relation
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 knowl-
edge of what these expenditures
amounted to in the aggregate.
This has been ascertained, however,
to the satisfaction 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 pro-
posed is 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 issued by Spain, notwith-
standing the efforts Of some of the Eu-
ropean powers to bring this result
about AS to the amount which will be
offered to Spain, the officials here are
mute. but it is believed to lie some
where between $50, 000, 900 and $40, 000. 900.
Our commissioners do not look for an
unconditional rejection Of our Offer but
believe there will be an attempt on the
part of the Spanish commissioners to
secure 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 conclu-
sion of the work OF the commission, so
that 1t is expected a conclusion one
way or the other will be reached before
long to the peace negotiations.

raised and the undertaking under way.
Norwich University has overcome many
obstacles in the years passed. but it has
record that stands second to none in

that some arrangement will be made
with the wreckers to recover from the
