Press talked with Major Cockrell, who
was in charge of the outposts, word
came of the finding of the body of Ser
geant Smith. He was reported as hav-
ing been killed at 5 o'clock on the pre-.
vious day. but it appears that he had
been seen alive at 10 o'clock in the even
ing. When and how he was killed no
one knows at this writing. Neither had
the man been mustered out, nor had the
outposts of Neville and Shaw been re-
lieved.
Lieutenant Colonel Huntington and
Major Cockrell gave high praise to the
nerve and steadiness of officers and men,
especially the younger, as the engage
ment was baptism of fire for large
ma jority. The men were in darkness and
in strange land, but they stood to their
posts with courage and fortitude, and
there was no symptom of panic. The
marines, though much disgusted, were
eager for more fighting, promising to in,
ilict heavy punishment. Today the am

Brisson Cabinet was overturned osten-
sibly because it failed to protect the
army from slander. The real facts are
that the Ministers constantly but vainly
urged the staff officers to take proceed
ings against their slanderers. General
Mercier, General Seurildinen and Gen
eraI Chanoine all declined to assist the
Government to vindicate the army's
honor on the plea that it was useless to
proceed against filthy newspaper rags.
General Chanoines resignation was
timed to prevent the civil power getting
hold of the Dreyfus dossier. 1t was
calculated that If he went out slam
ming the door the Government would
be beaten by Parliament, afraid of hav-
ing the army and the people against it.
The coup was fixed for to-day (Thurs-
day., but M. Roulede's sting provoked
Chanoine to precipitate the matter.
However, the desired object has been
accomplished. M. Brisson was unable
during the suspension of the sitting of
the Chamber on Tuesday to obtain M.
Faure's signature for the nomination of
a new Minister Of War. Had he sue
ceeded the secret dossier would now be
before the Court of Cessation, but M.
Lockroy. who was then ad intrim War
Minister, could not take the initiative.
The custodians of the dossier can re-
fuse 10 let him see it.

Special Dispatch to The carl.

PARIS, Oct. 27.-The Spanish Peace
Commissioners have accepted the nega-
tive view of the United States commits
sioners toward the proposed assumption
by the United States of the Cuban debt
The American commissioners have
firmly but courageously declined to as
sumo for the United States the entire or
Joint responsibility for the Spanish
financial conditions, and the Spanish
commissioners have finally abandoned
the effort and have agreed that the
Cuban article of the protocol shall,
without conditions, have a place in the
ultimate treaty of peace. It was not
until Monday that they became con-
vinced that the Americans, who had,
at the outset, made refusal to accept
the Cuban debt, meant exactly what
they said.
In spite of the fact that the Spanish
commissioners lad as a background to
their efforts doubts of succeeding, their.
hope of so doing has been so keen and
their contention has been so vigorously
prosecuted that the final conviction of
their inability to win their point
brought the Spaniards such a shock
and depression that consistently with
the dispatches at the time there were
grave doubts as to the continuance of
the negotiations.
In support of these statements is the
fact that Senior Montero Rios, after
Mondays session and on Tuesday last,
would have resigned the presidency Of
the Spanish Peace Commission had he
not believed that his doing so might
have grievously shaken, if it had not
tiffS6a ated SaUoT 60 cra Sto,c oox-aryvoa,,+
From this standpoint, if for no other
reason, Senior Nontero Rios maintained
his position, and at yesterdays session,
acting under the conviction arrived at
on Monday the Spaniards announced
that they would forego further argu-
ment on the Cuban debt and agreed
that, PRACTICAL. in the terms and abb
solutely in the spirit of the protocol.
the article about Cuba should go for
ward into the final treaty
Thus Spain agrees to relfnouish
sovereignty over any claim 20 Cuba
without either terms or conditions.
All differences, If any existed regard
ing Porto Rico and the selection of the
island of Guam, were also arranged by
mutual understanding, and the com
missioners found themselves well nigh
touching the Philippine question, which
will be taken up next week
1t should be said that the adjust
ments already accomplished will stand
in the final treaty unless opposing
views and positions on the Philippine
question should develop hereafter and
bring to naught the efforts of the fu-
ture and at the same time the results
already obtained.

Passing the Presidential stand the

nearly every instance the marching
was almost faultless-
AS the last line of soldiers and the
body of police behind them passed the
stand the crowds broke through the
ropes and made a rush toward the
Presidents 8 inclosure. He merely bowed
his acknowledgements of the cheering
and then withdrew to the rear of the
stand and to the residence of Mrs. J.

of the stand. Here the party took
luncheon and shortly afterward the
President retired to his hotel to spend
in rest the time remaining until the
Clover Club dinner and the Academy
of Music reception at night.

WOULD VIRTUALLY MEAN
DECLARATION OF WAR

PARIS, Oct 27.-At $3.50 o'clock to-
night report reached here that Sails
bury and members of his Cabinet had
voted to proclaim a protectorate over
Egypt. The statement was circumstan-
tial and was accepted as authentic
wherever it gained currency. 1t was
too late for it to become generally
known except ON the grand boulevards,
but there the effect was electrical. The
news spread CONSERVATION In the clubs
and cafes. For the first time in the
present crisis Paris stopped discussing
the Dreyfus case and talked Of the war
at its very doors
1t is terribly significant of how such
a step on the part of Great Britain
would be met here that no other inter-
pretation was put upon the story ex-
cept that 1t was a declaration of war.

SPAIN MUST YIELD
UP THE PHILIPPINES

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-The Herald's
Washington correspondent says: Now
that the Spanish Commissioners in
Paris have yielded to the refusal of the
American Commissioners to entertain
their proposition regarding the Cuban
debt the peace negotiations are thus
brought down to the disposition of the
Philippines, but it was the expectation
of Secretary Hay, when 1 saw him to-
day, that this would be formally
brought up on Monday next.
While the authorities still refuse to
make public any of the instructions to
the Peace Commissioners it can be
stated upon unquestionabe authority
that the President is thoroughly con-
vinced there is no possible way for the
United States to escape responsibility
of the control of the entire Philippine
group, and it may be assumed that the
instructions which have gone to the
American Peace Commissioners in Paris
mean the REIMBURSEMENT of Spanish
sovereignty of all parts of the Philip
pines shall be demanded.
A high official, thoroughly acquainted
with what transpired during the delib-
erations at the White House on Tues
day night, says:
Neither the American Commission
ers nor the President can do anything
else than insist upon Spain giving up
everything in the Philippines. The peo-
pie in this country will not stand any
thing else. The President has been
made to fully understand this in a more
forcible manner than ever by the flood
of letters which continues to pour in
upon the White House from religious
bodies of all creeds and from every Sec
ton of the country, not to speak of the
commercial interests, which have been
clamoring for American control of the
Philippines ever since the protocol was
signed.
Annexation of the Philippines seems
now to be the logical outcome of the
situation, but in insisting upon this de-
mand the Commissioners. on the part
of the United States, will be given con-
siderable latitude as to the settlement
of questions between Spain and the
Philippines, and especially the Philip
pine debt If the islands are to be an
nexed to the United States Spain might
reasonably require this country TO as
sumo at least so much of the Philip
pine debt as represented moneys ex-
pended for the Improvement of the
islands

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 27.-For three
hours to-day William Mckinley, COM
mander-fn-chief of the United States
army and navy, saw his victorious sons
pass in review before him. 1t was mill
tary and naval day of the great peace
Jubilee. Twenty-Five thousand men
marched in the most brilliant and spec
tacular pageant the country has wit
messed in many years. In semi-cir-
cular inclosure of the big reviewing
stand, in the magnificent court OF
honor, the President stood erect and
uncovered throughout the entire pro-
cession. AS the legions marched past
his face was set, but not stern, and In
his eyes was a gleam of satisfaction.
From his steadfast gaze one might
have fancied him listening to sounds
other than those which struck on the
common ear-soundS of deeper import,
telling the meaning of this glittering
panorama. Behind those martial tunes
he might have heard the music OF can
non volleys the sound of falling cities
and the dying shrieks of a decadent
people. But over these and louder he
might have heard peans of praise from
a HELPLESS infant nation, lifted out of
servitude and cruelty by the work Of
the embattled hosts.
Here and there, when some particular
renowned body Of troops marched by,
the President pleasantly waved his hat
and motioned the crowds across the
way to cheer.
Mrs. Mckinley reviewed the process
sion from a small stand on top of the
conservatory of the Lippincott man
sion. back of where the President stood.
There was not an untoward feature
of the day-the weather tonic, autumn,
sunlit. gusty; the vast crowds were
handled with commendable skill and
whatever accidents occurred were of
the most trivial character. Over the
Presidents head hung a canopy bear
ing on its face the coat of arms of the
United States and surmounted by the
new Presidents flag, for the first time
unfurled in the United States.
During the parade the President was
surrounded by small party consisting
of Vice President Hobart. Secretary of
war Alger, Secretary of Agriculture
wilson Postmaster General Smith, Pri-
yate Secretary Porter, Mayor WARWICK
and a few members of the jubilee COM
mittee.
Mr.. Mckinley rose early this morn
ing and after a light breakfast taken
in his Bellevue apartments he and his
party were driven in open carriages
along the route Of the parade, about
seven miles in length. The drive was
of course marked by incessant applause
from the crowds. While driving up
Broad street he passed General Miles
and his staff, who were riding to the
MACE of formation. The moment the
generals sword made it's salutary
sweep the President arose in his car
riage and raised his hat, holding 1t aloft
until they had passed. Returning to
the Bellevue, the Presidential party
was escorted by squadron Of the First
civ Troop Of Cavalry across Broad
street to the reviewing stand. They
had been preceded a few moments by
Generals Shafter, Lawton and Chaffee,
with their aids and a party Of ladies.
Ten minutes later, at 11:25, the platoon
of the emergency corps, which held the
head of the line, reached the stand,
