SPANS REPLY
Third Article of Protocol Does
Not Warrant Discussion of
Withdrawal
From the Philippines by the
Spaniards Except Upon Their
Own Terms.
Arbitration Proposed Upon the
Words Control Disposition
and Government"
American Commissioners Have
Not Set O Price but Will Do
So Very Soon.

PARIS, Nov. 17.-The meeting of the
Spanish-American commissions began
at 2:15 p. m. and ended at 3 p. m.
The Spanish commissioners presented
a long document in answer to the Amer
lean argument, which was submitted
last week. By mutual consent, the
memorandum was handed to the Amer
leans without being read, and the meet
ing adjourned to Saturday. The Span
ish communication will be translated
and it's contents will be discussed by
the United States commissioners at
their usual daily session.
The Spaniards, in their communica-
ton, reaffirmed the position which they
have assumed against the discussion
here of Spain's Philippine sovereignty,
They insist that the words ''shall deter
mine the control, disposition and gov
eminent of the Philippines" in Article
of the peace protocol, do not warrant
any reference to Spain's withdrawal
from the Philippines except on her own
terms, and therefore the Spaniards pro
pose arbitration on the construction to
be placed on the words 1.-The control,
disposition and government"

Captain Barneson Says Serious
Trouble Is Anticipated in the

When a Treaty of Peace Is Con-

General Merritt Says Filipinos

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 17.-Captain
John Barneson, commander of the
United States transport Arizona, has ar
rived here from Manila on leave Of
absence.
Captain Barneson left Manila Sept.
"a. He said the general impression
among army officers was that when the
peace commission concludes its labors,
the United States troops will have seri-
GUS trouble with the natives. Admiral
Dewey told him that Aguinaldo was
not only unreliable, but treacherous.
1t is said that Aguinaldo has promised
his men that Immediately y upon the
withdrawal of the Spaniards he will de-
clare war against the United States.
He says he will kill off American SOL
diers faster than the United States gov
eminent can ship them to ethe islands.
Captain Barneson stated. that there is
difference of opinion between the naval
and military men regarding the reten-
ton of the Philippines. The naval men
strongly favor and the military oppose.

DIR. LAGARDE'S OPINION.
Yellow Fever Having Been Anticipated,
Preparation Should Have Been Made.

Yellow Fever Having Been Anticipated,
Preparation Should Have Been Made.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 17.-Major La
garde continued his testimony before
the war investigation commission con-
corning the conduct of the war from a
medical point of view. He devoted con-
siderable time to yellow fever and said
that the outbreak having been proph-
esied by the surgeon general more adj
equate preparations should have been
made in the way of immune nurses,
medical supplies, etc. ,@-.-.-
DR.. Lagarde expressed the opinion
that if the soldiers had been fully
equipped there would have been less
sickness among them, and he thought
that much of the trouble was due to the
fact that the soldiers were compelled to
lie ON the ground without cover.
Colonel j. w. Jacobs, who was chief
quartermaster of the Fifth corps at
Tampa and in Cuba, testified that Gen
eral Humphrey had been in charge of
the embarkation of troops at Tampa,
and that no order specifying what YES
sells they were to occupy were issued.
In reply to a question from Governor
Beaver, he said the embarkation had
been haphazard -"decidely 50. -
He also thought there was a great de-
fciency in the provisions for disembark-
alton, as only two lighters were provided
and one of those was lost ON the way

M0 TROOPS
Ten Req ents of Regulars Now
Statif ID in the West Have
To Hold Themselves in Readiness
for Service in Tropical
Climates.
Most of Them Have Already Seer
Service in the Cuban
Campaign.
Nothing Given Out Officially as
to What the Present Activity
Means.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-There has
been remarkable activity about the war
department for several days in the way
OF preparing troops for service in lands
beyond the United States. An order
has been issued, directing 10 regiments
of the regular army now stationed in
northwestern forts and posts to hold
themselves In readiness for immediate
transportation and service in tropical
climates. Most of these regiments were
sent to the northern and western posts
few weeks ago for recuperation after
their Cuban campaign. While holding
themselves ready for service these regi-
ments will now be recruited to their
full strength. Nothing is said officially"
as to what the present activity means,
but there are several reasons suggested.
1t is believed that an early movement
to Cuba is intended, somewhat sooner
than has been generally believed here
tOfore. Another belief entertained is
that the United States government de-
sires to be in position to meet any con-
ditiOns that may grow out of the pend
ing peace negotiations.
In this connection an intimation has
got about to the effect that during the
delay which has occurred Spain has been
able to form some sort of coalition with
European powers to back up the preten-
tons she has been making in the negoti-
ations. Another reason given for the
proposed movement of the regulars to
Cuba is that they are to replace the reg
iments which have given some trouble
and have created disturbances, the last
row being reported from General Woods
command in Santiago province.
Every department of the government
has been directed to prepare supplies for
the 10 regiments and to arrange trans
portation for them as soon as they are
ordered to move.

American Commissioners About Ready tt
Close Peace Negotiations.

American Commissioners About Ready to
Close Peace Negotiations.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Ftp to this
point the discussion at Paris having
touched on principle, there has been no
attempt to name exact figures in rela-
ton to :4s''ie amount of money that might
be paid Spain by the United States on
account of the Philippines. Such, for
instance, was the statement that the
United States would reimburse Spain
"for the pacific expenditures made on
account of the Philippines, for no one
here at the time had an exact knowl-
edge If Z what these expenditures
amounted to in the aggregate This
has been ascertained, however, to the
satisfaction of the American commits
sioners, at least, and they will
Name the Exact Amount
which the United States is willing to
pay over to Spain ON this account.
What is proposed is cash payment to
the Spanish government, for the United
States does not purpose to enter into any
relations whatever with any of the hold
ers of any of the bonds issued by Spain,
Notwithstanding the efforts of some of
the European powers to bring this re-
suit about. AS to the amount which
would be paid to Spain, the officials here
are mute, but it is believed to lie be-
tween SEQ, 1000, 900 and $4O,00O,OO0. Our
commissioners do not look for an uncon-
ditional rejection of our offer, but be-
lieve there will be an attempt on the
part of the Spanish commissioners to Sc
cure a liberal increase Of the amount
named. The American commissioners
are under. instructions to inform the
Spanish commissioners that there can
be no further delay in the final conclu-
sion of the work Of the commission, so
that it is expected conclusion, one way
or the other, will be reached before long
to the peace negotiations.

Government Again Refuses to Give Span
iards More Time.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE govern
ment has renewed and strengthened it's
determination that the Spanish evacua-
ton of Cuba and the American occupa-
ton shall not be deferred beyond Jan. 1
next. This conclusion has been COM
municated to the Spanish government
within the last few days in answer to
an urgent request that the date Of evsc-
uation be put off because of the large
number of Spanish troops remaining on
the island, who, it was presented, could
not be removed before Jan. 1. Not be-
ing a subject which could be treated by
the commissions at Paris or at Havana
the request of the Spanish government
was forwarded to Washington through
the French embassy, which received
also and forwarded by cable the refusal
of this government to put off the date of
assuming American control.

TROUBLE IN THE TWENTY FOURTH

General Row Among CoIored Troops Now
Located at Cheyenne.
CHEYENNE, Wy, Nov. lin a gen.
eral row in the colored quarters of this
city, three colored soldiers of the Twen-
ty-fourth infantry were shot, namely:
L. Fountenough, in left leg; Ell.
Mitchell, in right leg, and William
Saunders, through the stomach, each of
whom will recover. The shooting was
done by Corporal Scott of Company e,
of the San Juan heroes, who was ar
rested.
At the fort in a general fight with
razors and knives, several of the SOL
diers were badly slashed, and were
brought before courtmartial and dis
missed from the service. Much appre-
hension is felt in the city as to the prob
ability of some serious results to follow
from the bad conduct of these soldiers.

general says:
''It was impossible to recognize the
insurgents and made it a point not to
do so, as I knew it would lead to COM
plications. Admiral Dewey, after my
arrival, pursued the same course. What
ment on. I, purposely, did not recog-
nize Aguinaldo or his troops, nor did l
use them in any way. Aguinaldo did
not ask to see me until 10 days after
my arrival. After that 1 was too much
occupied to see him.
Assured Them Fair Treatment.
"In talking with leading Filipinos, I
told them the United States had no
promises to make, but that they might
be assured that the government and
people of the United States would treat
them fairly. This was because the
fairly with all struggling peoples, and
not because I had been authorized to say
anything of the kind.
1--WE purposely did not give the in
surgents notice of our attack upon Man
liza, because we did not need their CO.
operation, and did not purpose to have
it. We were moved by fear that they
might loot and plumber and possibly
murder. Aguinaldos subordinate lead
ers, in conversing with American Of
ficers, frequently said they intended to
cut the Threats of all the Spaniards in
Manila.
"Aguinaldo wrote complaining let

ST. PAUL. Nov. 17.-Another victory
for the executive committee was scored
during the afternoon by the National
w. G. T. u, when by an overwhelming
majority the national delegates to the
convention in session in this city de-
clared that the w. G. T. U. was under
no moral obligation to redeem the Will
ard Temple bonds and refused to CO.
operate with the Temple trustees in
their efforts to raise money with which
to retire them. 1t was what the Tenn
pleites called triumph over financial
honor and distinct rebuke to those
who think a religious organization is
bound to pay the debts contracted in its
name. The debate was long and bit
ter one, and just before the vote was
taken Mrs. Carse got the floor and de-
clared she never again would speak be-
fore a national convention of the w.
G. T. U.
The Resolution Under Discussion.
The resolution which caused the de-
bate was introduced by Mrs. Marion H..
Durham, secretary of the Temple trus-
tess, and was as follows:
Resolved, That, in view of the hearty
endorsement given by the national con
vention in Boston in 1891 to the Temple
trust bonds, that the endorsement de-
cided many to purchase the bonds, and
that the moral obligation thus incurred
by the national union toward the bond
holders has been acknowledged agail
and again, We hereby pledge our Cd
operation to the board Of Temple trus
tees in the retirement of the Tempt
trust bonds"
Among the resolutions adopted duf-
ing the day was one condemning tile
canteen at military camps and posts
and a second asking congress to passa
law prohibiting the sale by hunters Or
milliners of any bird plumage EXCEPT
ostrich feathers.

PORTLAND, Or, Nov. ia special
to The Oregonian from Lewiston, Ida,
says: The Northern Pacific and Oregon
Railroad and Navigation company are
locating lines in the Nez Perces coun-,

contest between the two companies. 1t
looks as if there will be plenty of rail
road building in the North Pacific coast
states this season. The Northern Pacific
is the aggressor. The Navigation COM
pany is supposed to be backed by the
Union Pacific and the Great Northern,
and the contest promises to be a lively
one.
All the railroad officers who have been
interviewed are extremely reticent, but
the surveyor gangs are doing a great
deal Of talking and are supposed to be
well posted.
