neither assume nor guarantee any part of
the debt.
'The Spaniards replied that this placed
Spain in a position of renudiating or OF
reducing the face value of the Cuban
bonds from so to 60 per cent. paying only
half the stipulated interest on the re-
duced value. Before they would adopt
either alternative they would surrender

the surrender of the Philippines would

There was no alternative offered in

music and other forms of celebration.

THE Baock1oN STRIKE.
Situation Said to Be CriticaI-Both Sides
Claim to Be Gaining.

BrOckton, Mass, Oct. 1.-THE fifth
week of the lasters' strike in south
eastern Massachusetts was begun this
morning and according to the press
committee of the conference commit
tee, the end is not in sight. The men
continue to hold mass meetings every
day and most of them are largely at
tended. The district conference also
meets every night. The officials give
out very little information. 1t is
thought, however, that the strike is
rapidly approaching a very critical
time. The most sanguine of the union
leaders claim they have plan in wait
ing that will bring victory to them in
short time. The men are very anxious
to know what this new move is, but
they have not been enlightened.
The lasters are again trying to be
aggressive in the strike and have had
several speakers recently who have
greatly stirred up the men. The report
of the alleged weakening on their part
has aroused the officials who are more
urgent than ever to the men and some
new members tried once to bring about
the much wanted finish of the strike.
Last evening, the chief of pickets,
George Hubbard, tried a new method,
with which he is believed to expect to
let the manufacturers know that the
strikers are still active and as de-
termined as ever. Every shop which
they have marked as unfair was
picketed by quite a stable delegation
and every laster who came out was
accosted by one of them. In most
cases one of the former employees was
stationed with the other pickets and
he pointed out the men to see. At a
number of shops there were 100 or
more assembled, but no violence was
offered. The police officers patrolled
at all of the shops where the demon
stration was of any size.

THE FILIPIN0S Determined
To Fight Spain II United States Do Not Hold
the Philippines.

Paris, Oct. 17.-Philippo AcOrcilio,
the representative of AguinaldO, the
insurgent leader of the Philippine Is
lands, was interviewed, today, here by
the correspondent of The Associated
Press. Agoncillo has engaged apart
ments at the Hotel Continental, on the
same floor as the rooms occupied by
the United States commissioners. He
is DESTROYS of seeing them and placing
Aguinaldos views of the future of the
Philippines before our commissioners.
''Would the Filipinos accept annex
alton or a protectorate of the United
States?" Agoncillo was asked.
He answered: I'VE want independ-
ence, but the Filipinos have recog-
nized government. of which Aguinaldo
is president, and it will determine our
attitude toward a protectorate or an
nexation."
SHOULD the United States take all or
part of the Philippines, would the Fill
pinos fight the United States as they
have fought Spain?"
II cannot answer without possible
error. but 1 think it would be most
unwise for the United States to divide
the Philippines They should take all
or none"
"If the United States give up the
Philippine islands will the Filipinos
continue to fight the SPANISH"
81 think So"
.It is true the Filipinos do not OBJ
ject to the continuance of the native
priests?'
Eyes,
land what of the religious orders
Would the Filipinos accept any peace
with the United States and Span
which did not provide for the expulsion
Of the orders?"
1.-THE presence and acts of the orders
were the chief determining cause OF
the insurrection. 1t would be impossl'
BILE for the Filipinos to become recon

repeatedly sought the rights of citizen

have risen in insurrection II times in ;

sible under any government by TIT
abolishment of the orders, which, as
have said, were the chief determining
cause of the abuses and oppression
and. therefore, the rebellions."

cate it to Aguinaldo. Agoncillo thus
far has not communicated with our
commission, and the Spanish
commission while unwilling naturally
to summon Agoncillo, is exceedingly
anxious to know what representations,
if any, he will make to the Americans.
The American commissioners held
their usual morning session today and
entered upon the sixth joint session at
2 O'Clock this afternoon.
During today's session the commits
sioners were occupied with the con-
sideration of the Spanish presentation
of Tuesday last, and the American
answer. submitted. Friday, relating to
Cuba and the debt of that island. The
examination of the American written
canvass on the subject was not con-
Guided, today. and will be continued
at the next joint meeting, following
which the Spaniards will doubtless re-
ply in writing, the conclusion of the
subjects soon following.
The interchange regarding Cuba are
now SO advanced that the Spaniards
will not fail to understand the United
States determination, disclosed in
these dispatches, Saturday not to as
sumo part or the whole of the so-called
Cuban debt of 400,000,0OO. 1t should
not, however. be understood that the
Americans during the course of the
controversy, have been unmindful of
certain local burdens, like the munich
pal obligations of the Cuban cities.
railroads and kindred properties, local
and permanent. 1t should not be for
gotten however. that the American at
titude in Cuba is held not to be that
of an acquiring power. either of terri
tory or of it's real or constructive OBJ
legations.
The opposing Spaniards keenly con-
tend that sovereignty involves burdens
as we'll as blessings and that both
should pass together from Spain. Close
ly following this contention the Span
iards are pressing for a construction of
the word 'relinquish' in the Cuban ar
ticle of the protocol. eve must they
urge, "relinquish sovereignty over
Cuba, but to whom? We have not
agreed to relinquish it to the Cubans,
| we relinquish it to the United States.
| Thus, crystaliZing their reasoning and
| insistence, the Spaniards bind debt and
sovereignty together and urge that the
| REIMBURSEMENT must be to the United
| States. T.
While this contention is keenly and
| vigorously supported it has not shaken
| the position of the Americans who cut
the thread of Spanish diplomacy in the
middle of the word "relinquish' by
practically assuring the Spaniards they
need not cherish anxiety as to whom
to relinquish but to conform the fourth
article of the protocol, which pledges
Spain ''that Cuba, Porto Rico and the
other Spanish islands of the West In
| dies shall be Immediately evacuated
Briefly the Americans response tc
Spanish diplomacy of construction and
definition was that the words "relin-
quish'' and ''evacuate" are interchange
able and have the. same meaning
Thus three sessions We're given up tt
