Hint at Renewed HostiIities.
Our UItimatum Was Effective.

The intimation conveyed by the American
commissioners to the Spanish commission
ers at Mondays session of the peace con-
ference In Paris, that the position of the
United states with respect to Cuba and
the Cuban debt could not be regarded as
subject TO change, and that consequently
the American commissioners were ready to
proc eed with the consideration of other
heads under the protocol is apparently
having the desired effect.
Yesterdays adyices from Paris, while not
indicating the existence of a real crisis
did seem TO show that the negotiations
had arrived at that pass where, IL the
Spaniards persisted in their efforts to i'm
pose the Cuban debt In some guise upon
the United States, and refused to negotiate
further except on that basis, then the con-
ference must fail and the commission be
dissolved, with all of the evil results that
may follow For even after considering
carefully the last despairing appeal of the
Spanish commissioners, the President and
Secretary Hay feel that the American com
mlssioners must maintain their position
One small concession they are willing to
make; namely, they will guarantee for the
UUited States that life and property shall
be secure in Cuba This responsibility the
United States will assume only until such
time that a stable government shall be

FOOT BALL IGNORANCE.
Wales Alumni Weekly Criticises the
Team.

NEW HAVEN. Conn. October 27-The
slump in the Yale University foot ban team
during the present week has occasioned
great alarm among Yale men, ANA this
alarm is emphasized by the failure Of grad
uate coachers to return to New Haven 10
assist in the preparation OF the eleven fer
the important contests of the season.
The Yale Alumni Weekly which appears
today contains a vigorous criticism Of the
situation. Under the caption Many Foot
Ball Cripples and Much Foot Ball Ignor-
ance," the Weekly says:
The whole team is loose and disorgaa-
lied; the candidates outside OF those who
have been playing more or less regularly
with the eleven are far behind respect
able form that accident to three or
four men would seem like the bottom drop
ping out. Yet there IS plenty of tine ma
terial and an abundance OF the right spirit
1t is a question of instruction, wntch must
be given at once to be effective. Good,
hard coaching and plenty of il, right away
will save the team. That is putting things

Future enlistments and establishments in
the regular army will not be governed by
the same rules which prevailed during the

rotary of War, issued an order announcing
that linen enlisted or re-enlisted in the

Major General Miles today issued an order
revoking the previous order and announc-
ing that its provisions will not govern in
the cases OF men hereafter enlisted or re-
enlisted in tie regular army. Under this
actlon all enlistments or re-enlistments in
the regular army will be for term of three
years regardless of the present status of the
negotiations with Spain for peace
BY direction of the Secretary of War.
colonel Thomas Ward, acting adiutant
general, mas issued a general order in re-
caro- TO the cases of members of volunteer
organizations who enlist therefr0ro in the
regular army. 1t is explanatory of n pre-
Flous general order issued in September
last, prescribing that such men will be
given credit for their service in the yolun-
teer army. The Endorsement required by
the regulations on the enlistment naners
OF men VINO have served in the volunteer
army and subsequently enlist in the regll-
lar army results in giving such soldiers
credit on the records of the department for
tlile ac'lVeiy served in the volunteer army,
but 1t is not intended that the term of en-
llstment or re-enistment in the regula: !:
army shall be shortened by reason of their
volunteer service. According to the order
Just issued, such soldiers begin nsw en-
Hstment in the regular army for the full
term or three years, and their clothing al
lc"ance likewise begins at the first years
rates. The age limitation of thirty-ffve
years Tor original enlstmer is in the regu-
