PORTO RICO WILL BE
 OCCUPIED>BEFORE CUBA

WASHINGTON, Sept 30.-The Cab inet meeting to-day was devoted large ly to matters of detail in connection with the formation of the army which is to be sent to Cuba. It is understood that the movement of the troops will be begun about October 15. The con- duct of the Spanish customs officers at Havana is very unsatisfactory to the President, and it Is said to have been decided to take possession of the cus- tom house there at an early date. In- formation has reached the President that the Spanish authorities at San Juan recently took possession of and sent to Spain about $40000 belonging to an association of school teachers This matter has been the subject of a protest sent to Spain. It is said to be the purpose of this Government to com pei its return, if possible, and if this is not done vigorous measures will be taken to collect it from the persons responsible for it's misrepresentation.
 The instructions given to the two commissions now sitting in the West Indies provide, 1t is stated, for the actual occupation of Porto Rico in ad- vance of Cuba.

MANAGER WILSON
 VERY CONFIDENT

BUFFALO. Sept. 30.-Manager c. Wilson of the Hawthorne Athletic Club in an, interview with the News to-day detailed a conversation which he had with W. B. Gray, McCoy's manager, by telephone, yesterday. In which the latter said: T will sign no agree ments until I see you, which will be some time between now and Monday; but I can pull off the Corbett- Mccoy match in New York State outside of Erie County on October 15. I will not say over wire where, but will tell you when 1 get to Buffalo. The people I have been talking with are dead anx- ions to have the fight and guare ntee that there will be no interference"
 MT. Wilson said the stories to the eff feet that the fight would take place in Pittsburg were all nonsense.
 The News predicts that, Cheektow- aga, being barred, the Mccoy fight will take place under the auspices of the Hawthorne Club in Syracuse. This pre- diction. the News says, Is based on more than idle speculation or rumor

pelago. When the war broke out the Philippine Islands insurgents became in a certain sense the allies of the Americans, and it is, therefore, our moral duty to see to 1t that in the fu- ture they will be assured safe and civil ized rule, and until the United States determines in just what manner the Philippines ultimately shall be gov erned we necessarily will have to con- sider the Philippines our wards.
 During this transitional period, the United States will be called upon to ex- ercise a primitive or rather arbitrary form of control over the islands and continue 1t until Congres finally evolves a system of government, In other words It seems to me we will have to maintain temporary protec- torate over the archipelago, and this will be accomplished by means of the army and navy now in the Philippines and Philippine waters. What will be the ultimate fate of the islands is of course, a problem of the future. Wheth- CT the Philippines will become an inde- pendent nation or a colony of the United States or whether a longtime American protectorate will be estab- lished will be a subject for Congress to decide.
 Tt is we'll understood that Spain must abide by the verdict of our peace commissioners, whatever they may prove to be, for she Is in no fit condition to renew the conflict which has result ed so disastrously to her. She has no reason to expect that our commission CTS will agree to any proposition which contemplates the continuation of Span ish control over any part or all of the groups. l feel confident that we will have no further trouble in an armed way with Spain. The only obstacle with which we may have to contend is the opposition of the insurgents to our plans. It is not at all certain, of course, that we will encounter any such obstacles, though it is assuredly among the probabilities. However, from what i have read of the mission of Agon- cillo, the personal representative of Agufnaldo, the insurgent chieftain, we may find the Filipinos tractable and willing to accept whatever form of gov ernment we will finally decide upon, so long as Spain will have no hand in its administration"
 Regarding the reports which come from Paris that one of Spain's proposi- tions to our commissioners will be that the United States pay her S4O0. COG. 900 for the relinquishment of the Philip pines, Senator Hanna said, signif- cantly:
 I've are not paying mopey for or buying territory which we now con- troi"
The San Francisco call., 1898-10-01

CLEVELAND, Sept. 30.-The Leader has from its Washington correspondent the following interview with Senator Hanna concerning the Philippine ques- ton, which is believed to represent the views of President Mckinley.
 T do not know what the instructions given to our Commissioners are," said Mir Hanna, but so far as concerns the negotiations which will be instituted in Paris tomorrow can see no other re- suit than that Spain will have to re- linquish her sovereignty over not only Luzon Island, but the entire Philippine archipelago Spain has no reason to expect 10 be able to retain any portion of the group. She went into the war and lost, and now ought to be prepared to suffer the consequences which such a defeat implies. I regard the Philip pines as lost to Spain, and that being foreSone conclusion, In my opinion, the problem which next confronts us relates to the form of government which we will give the islands
 When the Philippine question first presented itself there was strong sen timent among conservative, far-seeing and thinking men in this country which favored the retention by the United States of merely a naval base and coaIing station in the islands-this base presumably being Manila and the bay contiguous thereto. Since then, however, this sentiment apparently has undergone a very marked change, and it now appears that for the most part these same men who at first believed we should occupy Manila alone are advocating the termination of Spain's rule in the whole group
 Aside from the fact that the general sentiment of the country seems to be against returning any of the islands to Spain, the United States is under ob- lgations to the insurgents to establish a stable and enlightened form of gov- ernment throughout the entire archi-

 Key Haggerty and another one of the
 prisoners saw the move and at once seized Oppenheimer and disarpled him. Ross sank to the ground and was nicked up an~ carried to the hospital, where he died within an hour. The knife used by Oppenheimer was made out of a file. The doctors who attended Ross found that he had been stabbed several times.
 The Ross brothers, Oppenheimer and two men named Holland had committed a series of crimes in San Francisco and Copenheimer believed that the Ross boys had peached on him. This was the season ke committed the murder. He expresses no contrition for his crime and is ready to stand trial for murder, probably feeling that capital punish ment is no worse than fifty years in

ASSEMBLY NOMINATION
 NO ONE WILL ACCEPT
Seventieth District Fusionists Have a Gold Brick They Wish to
 Dispose Of.

LOS ANGELES. Sept. 30.-There Is a vacancy on the Union county ticket in the Seventieth Assembly District, and the fusionists can find no one to accept the nomination. A fusion nomination in that district Is really gold brick, given to whoever will take it, for he stands not the remotest chance of election. The district commences up in Antelope Val ley and runs through down to the ocean, taking in Santa Monica and the Soldiers Home. The Republican nominee in this district two years ago was w. s. Melick, and he has been renominated. Two years ago he received 3S21 votes while only 2534 votes were cast by the opposition Melick got S31 votes at the Soldiers Home, while his opponent received but
 This year in the fusion combination the Silver Republicans were given the Sev- entieth District, as it was impossible for any one but a straight Republican to carry it. But the Silver Republicans inn agined theN were doing a remarkably brilliant thing by nominating Colonel Moses Wiley, one of the inmates of the home. The nomination came to Colonel Wiley unbidden and unaSked, but when the colonel found it out he was furious He wanted to thrash the man who placed him in nomination. This being impossi- ble, he took vengeance by filing a written protest and withdrawing from the ticket For over week now the fusionists have been casting about for a candidate but they have not been able to find one. The chances are that Melick, the Republican nominee, will have a lone field.

 INSISTED ON DIVISION.
After All the Fuss and Talk There Is Yet a Prospect of a Fight Between the Two
 Heavyweights.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


 NEW YORK, Sept. 3o.-There were a few more developments to-day in the controversy between James J. Corbett and "Kid' Mccoy relative to the divis- ion of the purse money offered by the Hawthorne Athletic Club of Buffalo for a glove contest.
 It was McCoy's day for statement making, and he and his manager, William B. Gra~ availed themselves of the opportunity. In reply to Corbett's charge, Gray said that Corbett was the person who had insisted upon the purse money being divided, and had he (Gray) not agreed to a division, Cor bett would have refused to sign the articles. Gray followed up the state ment by going before notary public and swearing to it's truthfulness.
 When George Considine, manager for Corbett, was told of the contents of Gray's statement on behalf of Mccoy, he smiled and said: "They have a lot of nerve, and Grays statement is false in every particular"
 "Corbett," he continued, 'fs wiling to fight Mccoy. He admits receiving $2000 advance money from the Hawthorne Athletic Club, and is willing to keep faith with that organization. He will be at the place appointed by the club on October 15. He will only agree to box Mccoy on condition that the win ner takes all the purse money of S20, 900, and that no pictures of the fight are taken. He will sign new articles to this effect at once"
 When informed of Considine's state ment, Gray said that new articles were not necessary. Consfdine could destroy the secret agreement and the public agreement could govern the fight In dications, therefore, are that a battle between the heavy weights may take place after all.
