TTONs TO PEACE COMMISSION.

ton by President MCKINLEY In For

Questions May Arise in Paris

Instructions From the President.
The Document Practically Agreed
Upon, But VIII BE Left Open for
Two Days.
Washington, Sept. 13.-After a session
lasting nearly two and a half hours to-day
the cabinet took recess until $3.50 o'clock

The situation at Manila was discussed
a length.
The principal business of the meeting
was the discussion of the letter Of instruc-
tons to be given 10 the commission which
is TO meet in Paris 10 formulate a treaty
of peace with Spain.
Several members of the cabinet who
were taking their vacations were recalled
by the President to attend to-day's meet
ing. The letter of instructions will not be
made public, but 1t is said that it is COM
prehensive in character and. in addition 10
making plain the general policy Of the
government on all important points. 1t
covers all the details that can now be fore
seen and provided for.
1t is assumed. however that many ques-

The cabinet. at it's second session, con-
tinued the discussion of the Instructions
to be given to the American members of
the peace commission.
Although the document is practically
agreed upon as a whole, the matter was
left open until the meeting of the COM
missioners, two days hence, when a final
revision win be made.
It is the Presidents wish, as expressed
to the cabinet members, that nothing con-
corning the instructions be made public.
The officials at the war and navy depart-
ments profess to feel more confidence than
they have heretofore expressed regarding
the present situation In the Philippine ISL
ands. In spite of all the disquieting re-
ports that have come of late from newspa-
per sources indicating the existence of
critically strained relations between the IN
surgents and the American forces of soc-
cupation, IL is a fact that for three days
past no word came TO either state war
or navy departments from Manila until
to-day. That was a message from Adj
miral Dewey, asking authority from the
departmental office to purchase some
fresh beef, which would afford him sup
ply for three months The admiral made
no mention of any disturbance.

Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 1S.-An uncon-

Tawton last night that Gen. Maxine Co
mez. the insurgent commander-in-chief,
has rendered his resignation of the com
mand of the Cuban army to the Cuban
goVernment at Camaguey. and that il has
been accepted.
Gen. Gomez, 1t appears, has been pro-
testing against the Cuban government
Welding the control of the affairs of the
island to the Americans, and the explana-
tioh for resigning was his disapproval of
passive submission to conditions tending

ment of the Cuban republic. as such, and
the establishing of absolute dominion to
the United States.'
The Cubans at Santiago were much ex-
cited by the report. 1t was not believed
by many, who say that Gen. Gomezs res
ignation, at this time, is utterly improb-
able Others, however, say Gen. Gomez

other insurgent leaders have turned over
their commands TO Gen. Lawton.
Gen. Perez has 5000 men in the vicinity

this week by order of Gen. Castillo. There
is now known desire on the part of the
cuban army to disband, as the insurgents
have learned that the question of their
back pay will not be considered by the
Americans.

A NEW PoMPEII.
Discovered by Excavations on the

From the Literary Digest

Discovered by Excavations on the
site of Ancient Priene.
From the Literary Digest.
This title is perhaps an exaggeration,
but 1t is certain that IL the published re-
ports are true, the German archaeolo-
gists who are excavating on the site of
ancient Priene have made discovery of
the highest interest. IT is we'll known that
Priene is IN Asa Minor, and that the mod
ern city of Samsoun occupies it's ancient
site. Several years ago an English expedi-
ton unearthed and studied the temple of
Minerva, the chief sanctuary of the city
built by order Of Alexander; but its ruins,
although interesting were abandoned, and
they have since been despoiled by he in
habtants Of the nfighboThood. In 1895 the
Germans resumed the exploration OF the
region In behalf Of the Berlin Museum
at the expense" of the Prussian govern
ment and under the direction of a young
architect. Wilhelm Wiiberg. The work OF
excavation is already sufficiently advanced
to enable us to judge of its rare impor-
lance; a whole city Is being uuearthed
in almost as good preservation as PompeH
And this Is the more important because up
to the present no similar discovery has
ever been made that gives precise ndlca-
tons of the general arrangement of a
Greek city, of its public monuments. or
It's individual dwellings. The city thus ex-
humed is assuredly of the period Of great
est Greek beauty; the streets cross at
right angles and are laid out with the
greatest regularity, and we can identify
colonades, theaters, market places, shops
and houses with their decorations and in
terror arrangement. South Of the temple
of Minerva has been found the agora sur
rounded with great colonnades, while
opening on one of its corners is a small
square edifice somewhat resembling the
alter and constituting perhaps the place
OF meeting of the city council 1t Is In
admirable preservation, and sixteen rows
Of seats can be seen still In place. Wor-
thy OF note Is a vault in one of the walls
"a thing extraordinarily rare in Greek ar
chitecture. We should add, in closing, that
among the structures that have been en-
tirely exhumed is a theater whose scene
is intact, which will doubtless solve some
of the problems connected with this spe-
sial part Of the Greek theaters.

JUDGE sIMoNToN's OPINION.

Leave to Amend His Complaint.
Richmond, Va, Sept 13-The opinion of
Judge simonton In the case Of Thomas f.
Ryan against the Seaboard and Roanoke
Railroad Company and others was rem
dered here to-day. This cause, which has
attracted widespread attention, more par
ticularly in railroad circles, was argued
in the United States Circuit Court at Ashe-
vile on Aug. IS, last.
The complainant, Thomas F. Ryan, a
citizen of the state of New York, filed his
bill Of complaint against the Seaboard and
Roanoke Railroad Company and Leigh r.
Watts, a citizen of the state of Virginia;
the Raleigh and CASTOR Railroad Com
pany, citizen Of the state Of North Caro-
lima, and Messrs. Hoffman, McLane and
Fisher, citizens of the state of Maryland.
The bill is by a stakeholder in the first
named corporation, in behalf of himself
and other stockholders. After stating what

The main cause Of complaint Is an al

factor in making possible the above men,

demurrers, the court orders:

agreement, or some representative, or rep
resentatives of them, parties to the suit,

circuit court for the district be stayed UNI
I'll the proceedings in the circuit court
Of the United States for the district OF
Maryland, between the same parties, be
determined in some way. The courts hold
that the pending of a suit in a state court
is not necessarily a bar to a suit in a fed

A SURGEON DID THE WORK.
The Bridgeport Woman Was the
Victim of "A skilled Hand.

Bridgeport, Conn, Sept. 1S.-An parts of
the dismembered body of the young wo-
man so mysteriously murdered and mutt
lated and cast into the waters of the yell
low Mill river, have been found. The trunk
was discovered to-day.
The abdominal part of the trunk was
swathed In a white rubber sheet such as
rs used in surgical operating rooms.
This latter circumstance, together with
the plain evidence that the body was sew
cred, like the legs and the head, by an
expert using a keen knife and a perfect
edged saw leads the police to the convic-
Ton that the mutilauon and presumably
the murder was done by a surgeon.
The upper half of the trunk is intact,
? but the abdominal portion of the body has
been despoied of nearly every organ. This
suggests that the young woman was he
victim OF criminal operation at the hands
of a physician.
