Arrive Mt Bahia, Brazil. After q
Smooth and Rapid Run.
Washington, Nov. 2. A cablegram
received at the navy department an
nounces the arrival at Bahia, Brazil,
Of the Battleships Oregon and Iowa.
They are nineteen days from Temp
kinsyille, making an exceptionally
smooth and rapid run down the coast.
The collier Abarenda, now lying at
Bahia, consumed thirty-one days in
making the same trip. Because of her
lack Of speed she will probably be al
lowed to return to the United States
instead of going along to Honolulu as
was INTENDED. The battleships will
stop at Bahia for few days, replen-
ishing their coal bunkers from the
Abarenda and the. Celtic, and then
will proceed to Rio, where they are
to take part in the great demonstra-
ton there on Nov. Is. to commemorate
the anniversary Of the birth Of the re-
public of Brazil z

Paris, Nov. /. While the Spanish
and American peace commissioners
now stand upon the Threshold Of the
Philippine question, lit seems probable,
IN the light of this hour, that the Unit
ed States will take over the entire
archipelago. This view is the focus
point Of the best unofficial opinion of
the trend Of events. During the four
days just passed those in touch with
though possibly not in the confidence
OF, the commissioners, have felt the
concentration of tendencies to be occu-
pied by the United States commissions
ers at to-day's session of the two com
missions. In 1897 Spain issued by
royal decree bonds in the sum of S4O.-
100000, to which were pledged the rev.
enues of the Philippines, and to which,
the Spanish
National Guarantee
was added. From these $40, OOO, 900 in
obligations Spain realized $36,OOO,OOO
in cash. These forty millions repre-
sent the Philippine debt. Should the
United States absorb the Philippines,
none but officials yet know whether
they would assume part or all Of this
debt or more than the Philippine debt.
The Americans have declined to as
sumo any of the Cuban debt because
Cuba is not theirs, but in deposing
Spain in the Philippines the Americans
acquire the territory and it is believed
there will be some financial assump-
ton by the United States. At this
point rises the question of how much
financial relief might compose Spain
to her loss Of the Philippines. Some
well-informed persons believe that
Premier Sagasta has determined to be
rid Of the Philippines and would direct
his commission to r. FL.
y. sts Sign a Treaty < ,-o.
by which the United States should
take the islands and assume the $4O.-
100000 Of debt. Spaniards now in
Paris declare that the Philippines are
drag and assert that Spain would
lift cry Of JOY to be relieved of them
if the terrific debt pressure should be
thus lessened. On the other hand
Spaniards at home are clamoring that
their commission should bolt the con-
ference, and returning, thus fulfill the
highest duty. There are Spaniards in
Paris who insist that. should the Unit
ed States take, the; Philippines without
a large money. ton, SPANS
commission should return and the ma
ton, bidding it's soldiers in Cuba and
elsewhere again take up arms, achieve
thus a, glorious martyrdom to national
honor In these contending currents
the Spanish commissioners are await
ing the American declaration to-day,
and they declare they cannot sign a
treaty of peace involving the loss Of
the Philippines to Spain. S..
.G,r -.@t s Anxiety at Madrid. ..,..
London, Nov. 1.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Standard says there is
much anxiety in Madrid as to the re-
suit Of to-day's joint sitting of the
peace commission. Inasmuch as Spain
accepted the Cuban articles Of the pro-
tocol only on condition of a subsequent
agreement being arrived at on the
Philippine question she will strenuous
ly resist any Infringement of her rights
in the Philippines without compenso-
ton. ~ g.

The CARTERET HERO.


The Beaufort Dispatch-Herald furn
ishes the first information yet received
OF the Carteret sailor who lost his life
fighting under the American flag. TIL,
Dispatch Herald says:
Robert VOLTS, better known to us
as Tom" one Of the five men Killed
with Ensign Bagley on the Torpedo
boat Winslow in the action at Cardenas
harbor. was a Carteret county boy by
choice if not by birth. He was born IN
Australia.
"He came into this port on board the
merchant vessel Unity II. Dwyer, Capt
Dave Ireland After this he called Car
DINA City his home and sailed from this
port about three years ago. His mail
all came through the post office at Beau
fort
.About two years ago he left here and
subsequently joined the navy, where he
remained until the time of his death nj
Cardenas.
HE was Il No. / sailor, noble hearted
and kind. and though foreigner readily
made strong friends in the new land t.
which he had come to make livelihood
.aThe people here remember him kindly
-
TOO should have fallen in thickest of the
fray. yet they are proud of the way in
which he met death. Brave, honest and
true he died in defense of the land for
which he had voluntarily forsaken his
own beneath the bright folds of the
Starry STANDARD"
The Dispatch-Herald is mistaken il
snpposing that he was zone of the five
killed with Ensign Bagley on the tor
pedo boat Winslow in the action at Car
denas harbor." That action took place
on Wednesday. Mr.. Voltz lost his life
on the following Saturday at the terrible
fight at Cienfuegos where our troops cut
the cable connecting Havana with San
tiago de Cuba during a fierce encounter
with the Spaniards.
