Should Spain refuse cession, she would
remain liable for indemnity claims, national
and individual, since the outbreak of the
last Cuban insurrection. Should she refuse
she would also lose, probably, as further in
demnity for the expense of conquest one of
the Cerolines, which she may now sell, and
other cable privileges within Spanish juris-
diction might be taken by the United States
without any return to Spain for them.
NO DECISION ARRIVED All
This evening the Spaniards, doubtless, do
not know whether they will accept or re-
ject the terms. They are telegraphing the
substance of the American memorandum to
Madrid and they expect reply at Wednes-
days meeting.
Possibly they may conclude that because
one money offer is made another and larger
offer may follow pressure upon the Amer
lean commissioners.
But if this be their expectation it will
not be realized. The American terms sub
mtted almost at the close of the eight
weeks of patient hearing and painstaking
argument are practical ultimatum.

REPORTED REFUSAL
Is Not Fully Credited at the State
Department

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2l.-The State De-
partment has not yet been advised of the
reported refusal of the Spanish Peace Com
missioners to continue negotiations in Paris,
Secretary Alger expresses disbelief of the
| accuracy of the report, or rather he feels that
it was based upon the personal expression OF
opinion of President Rios of the Spanish
Commission and that he did not necessarily
present the formal opinion of the Commits
sion. Still the breach, if breach there has
been, would not be a matter of surprise to
the State Department, which has shaped in
structions to the American Commissioners
to bring the negotiations in Paris to sharp
issue one way or the other today.
If President Rios did express the determi-
nation Of the Spaniards, under their in
structions, the American Commissioners will
promptly pack up and leave Paris for the
United States at once. 1t is said at the State
Department that nearly all of their work in
such case will go for nothing. The proceed
ngs before the Commission were SO con-
Quoted that no one point agreed upon was
to be regarded as binding unless complete
treaty should be made. In other words, the
agreement on each point as it was passed
over was tentative, and final acceptance was
conditional upon complete agreement on
all points.
This does not necessarily wipe out what

Associated Press Special Wire,

Associated Press Special Wire,
PARIS, Nov. 21.-The memorandum of
the American commission was long and was
not read in full. The vital portions, how
ever, were communicated verbally to the
Spanish commissioners in practically these
terms:
The fact was cited that the proposal pre-
sented by the American commissioners on
behalf of the government for the cession of
the Philippine islands to the United States
having been rejected by the Spanish conf
missioners, and the counter-proposal of the
latter for the withdrawal of the Americans
from the islands and the payment of an in
demnity by the United States to Spain,
having been rejected by the Americans, the
latter, desming it essential that the present
negotiations, already greatly protracted,
should've brought to an early and definite
conclydon, now begged to present new
propfsition embodying the cession, which
for f,he sake of peace their government
wotld, under the circumstances, be willing
tVtender.
NJ TERMS NOT MODIFIED
Il The government of the United States is
unable to modify the proposal heretofore
made for the cesson of the entire archipela-
go of the Philippines, but the American COM
missoners are authorized to offer to Spain,
in case the cession should be agreed to, the
sum of $20,000,O0O, TO be paid in accordance
with the terms to be fixed by the treaty Of
peace. 1t being the policy of the United
States to maintain in the Philippines an open
door to the world commerce, the American
commissioners are prepared to insert in the
treaty now in contemplation stipulation
to the effect that for term of years Spanish
ships and merchandise shall be admitted to
Philippine ports on the same terms as Amer
lean ships and merchandise.
- INDEMNITY CLAIMS
The American commissioners are also au-
thorized and are prepared to insert in the
treaty in connection with the cession of ter
ritory by Spain to the United States pro-
vision for the mutual REIMBURSEMENT of all
claims for indemnity, national and individ-
ual, of every kind, of the United States
against Spain and of Spain against the
United States that may have arisen since
the beginning of the late Cuban insurrection
and prior to the conclusion of the treaty of
peace.
TIME SET FOR ANSWER
Next followed the terms nearest approach
ing to formal ultimatum to Spain. The
United States commissioners express the
hope that they may receive from the Spanish
commissioners on or before Monday, the
2Sth inst, definite and final acceptance
of the proposals made as to the Philippines.

Cuba, Porto Rico and other Spanish islands

in which these demands have been provision

& INCIDENTAL PROVISIONS
In this event, it will be possible for the
joint commission to continue its sessions and
proceed to the consideration and adjustment
of other matters, including those which, as
subsidiary and incidental to the principal
provisions, should form part of the treaty

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2l.-The Santa
Fe Railroad company will be operating its
train through to San Francisco over the
Valley road by the beginning of July, 1899,
if no unforeseen accidents interfere with the
plans of the Valley road management. Two
months ago it was stated that the big tunnel
through the Coast range, in Contra Costa
county, would not be finished before Sep
tember of next year, but according to the
latest calculations of Engineer Story, the
tunnel will be completed long before that
time. Mr.. Story says that if the company $
passenger ferry-boat is not ready by that
time some other bay steamer will be OBJ
tanned to carry passengers between Point
Richmond and San Francisco.

RAPID WORK ON COAST RANGE TUNNEL
Supplemented by Huryup Procedure Along the Line Of the

in the Marsh District

! The material in the Valley roads Stool
ton yard was increased last week by bargs
bad of rails, ties and lumber for bridges.
1t is being unloaded at present and the ties
will be planted. Most of the bridge lum-
ber has been transferred to cars and for
warded to the Visaia branch, where the
contractors are working on culverts and
crossings for ravines. When this part of
the work is completed there, the road will
be open for traffic, as the track hes been
laid between Nisaa and Corcoran juno
ton for several weeks; the sidings and
switches have been completed and are ready
for use. This branch will probably be put
into service the last of the year.
The absence of early rains has allowed the
grading in the swamp district ON the Valley
road line to Point Richmond, west of Stock
ton, to be rushed forward. Three dredgers
are still throwing acres of dirt in the seven
mile stretch, and layer after layer has been
put on the wide roadbed. The foundation
has already reached such height that it
will take extra high water to affect the work.
1t has dried out well and is SO firm that the
contractors do not anticipate difficulty this
winter. From the west end of the swamp,
about five miles of grading, between where
the dredgers are working and Antioch, has
been completed. Graders are at Marsh
creek at present and will begin grading west
of that stream next week. Some grading
has been done at Antioch, but as it is higher
there, the low points will be finished before
the rains set in, when the embankment
leading into that town can be constructed.
William A. Bissel, assistant freight trof-
fic manager of the Santa Fe, with headquar-
ters at Chicago, will move to San Francisco
on December 10th to take charge of the
traffic affairs of the road in California as
assistant traffic manager.

here. When the conference opened this
afternoon Judge Day, addressing Senor
Montero Rios and his colleagues of the
Spanish commission, recurred to the pro-
tracted negotiations and reaffirmed the de-
sire of the American commissioners to reach
an amicable conclusion. Then, handing the
American presentation to the interpreter,
Judge Day concluded his remarks by saying
that the Americans, preferring not to break
the armistice or to resume hostilities, had
determined to present final proposition,
which he hoped would lead to speedy and
amicable adjustment.
That portion of the. presentation setting
forth the new proposal, the proposal that
the United States must have possession Of
the entire Philippine archipelago, with a
tender of S2O,000,000 for treaty cession -oi
the islands, was then read.
WILL CONSIDER THE MATTER
Without betraying their mental attitude,
the Spanish commissioners suggested an
adjournment until Wednesday.
The new proposition, with its collaterals,
was embodied toward the end of the Ameri-
can memorandum, which filled thirty type
written sheets. Only this part was read in
the joint session, the memorandum then be-
ing delivered to the Spaniards for transla-
ton by their own staff.
Spains proposition to invoke the offices
of a third power to construe the words, "con-
troll disposition and government of the Phil
ippincs," was rejected by the American
commissioners, on the ground that the die
tion of the third article of the protocol deal
ing with the Philippines is broad and clear
enough afford no justification for arbitra-
tion as between the parties of the agree
ment.
An analysis of the American memorandum
shows that all other suggestions and other
considerations hinge upon treaty cession at
the amount named by the United States
and within two weeks. In the event of
cession, Spain may enjoy for term of twelve

BABYs SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores.
"At the age OF two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external ap-
plications that we could think or hear Of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side OF his face. We consulted a physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and In week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. l also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He Is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign OF those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. 8. 8. WRorEN, Farming
