General Butler Speaks Well OF Our
WhiIom Enemies.
Washington, Nov. 3O.-Major General
NJ c. Butler had another conference
with the president yesterday concern
ing affairs in Cuba. In an interview he
said: "Since the American commits
sioners have been in Havana about
10000 soldiers have been sent back to
Spain. Thirty-two transports viii soon
arrive there and take away from 10000
to 10000 more. The remainder will de-
part about the first of January or soon
afterward."
General Butler said that It was hard
to tell how many Spanish soldiers will
remain on the island to become citi-
zens. At one time a decree was issued
permitting some to make their homes
in Cuba, but this was withdrawn. Cen
eral Butler added a good word for the
Spanish soldiers. He said he had never
seen more orderly or better behaved
lot OF men. He saw thousands of them
every day and never witnessed a dis
orderly act.

Motion toQuash the Indictments Made
BY His Counsel.
Philadelphia, Nov. 29.-The great
court Of quarter sessions yesterday and
was argued for nearly three hours be-
fore Judge Finletter. Demurrers were
fled by the defense to four Of the five
indictments. and a motion to quash
the fifth was made. The latter was on
the indictment in which the Haywood
letter TO the Peoples bank figured, no
tifying the bank that he would, as state
treasurer. deposit 100000. and that
Richard r. Quay was to borrow $780,
600 from the bank. After arguments
by Rufus f. Shapley and A. S. L.
Shields for the defense and District At
until today. Judge Finletter reserving
his decision. At today's session the
judge had the case still under advise
ment.
The chief point in the argument for
the defense appeared to be that when
state money was deposited in a bank
it ceased to be state money and be-
came the personal property OF the bank
1t was admitted that the funds were
deposited in the Peoples bank as al
legged. but it was contended that IL \
burglar had stolen that money he
would have taken the bank
money and not that Of the state. This
smile was used to prove that IL the
defendants borrowed the money they
secured the banks money and not the
states.

Paris. Nov. 29.-Spain has accepted
the United States offer of $50, 600, COO
and at joint session of the peace COM
missions yesterday afternoon consented
without condition to relinquish Cuba
and to cede Porto Rico, Guam and the
Philippine islands.
The document presenting this &C
ceptance contained only 800 words. IT
opened with a reference to the final
terms OF the United States, and said
that the Spanish commissioners, after
having taken cognizance of the terms
proposed by the Americans. replied
that their government had tried to
give as equitable an answer as possi-
BILE. but that they were not prepared
TO commit their government to the
acceptance of the principles embodied
in the American argument. Spain re-
5ects these principles. the note con-
Sinues, "as she always has rejected
them" Basing her attitude upon the
Justice of her cause, the note then says.
she still adheres to these principles
which she has heretofore invariably
formulated"
However. the note adds, in her de-
sire for peace she has gone so far as
TO propose certain compromises, which
the Americans have always rejected
She has also attempted it is further
asserted, to have submitted to arbitra-
ton some of the material points upon
which the two governments differed.
These proposals for arbitration, 1t is
added, the Americans had equally re-
5ected.
SPANS reply yesterday, In substance
continued by declaring that the Uni
ted States has offered, as a kind of
compensation to Spain, something very
inadequate to the sacrifices the latter
country makes at this moment. and
she feels. therefore. that the United
States proposal cannot be considered
just and equitable
Spain has, however, exhausted all
the resources of diplomacy in an at
tempt to justify her attitude. Seeing
that an acceptance Of the PROPOSAL
made to Spain is a necessary condi-
ton to continuance OF negotiations
and seeing that the resources OF Spain
are not such as to enable her to re-
enter upon war. she is prepared. in her
desire to avoid bloodshed and from
considerations OF humanity and ma
triotism, to submit to the conditions OF
the conquering nation, however harsh
they may be. She Is. therefore. ready
to accept the proposals OF the Ameri-
can commission as presented at the last
sitting.
The reading and the translation of
the document occupied less than five
minutes. At the conclusion OF the
translations the commissioners en-
powered Senior Ojeda. secretary of the
