A wall FROM MADRID.

fShed from the WOrld.S
Madrid, Nov 2S.-The proposals of
the United States peace commission
ers have been received here without
any public sensation. The general feel
ing is in favor Of a speedy ending of
the negotiations.
The newspapers lament the "ungen-
crosby" Of the United States in offering
such a small indemnity" They think
that Japan or some of the European
powers would have paid a higher price.
There are those who contend it would
be better to decline indemnity alto
gether, because the government could
then decline responsibility for the Phil
lippine debt.
There is much irritation at the
apathy Of Europe. The impartial says:
president McKir ley now boasts of
having written the protocol in order
to mislead Spain. This is adding in
suit to injury. Yet Europe looks or
undisturbed. All ideas of justice have
vanished from the world

In cases of rape, the usual course is
to ask the prosecutrix whether she
made any complaint, and. if so. to

Is error to permit either the prosecu-

the particulars of the complaint in

When testimony of "a complaint
made by the prosecutrix to her nearest
