| ton conveyed by the American COM
| missioners to the Spanish commission
ers at Mondays session of the confer

United States with respect to Cuba and
the Cuban debt could not be regarded
as subject to change, and that conse-
| quently the American commissioners
were ready to proceed with considera-
ton of other heads of the protocol.
Paris advices show had the desired eff
feet.
The one concession as to Cuba that
our commissioners will make will be to
guarantee for the United States that
life and property shall be secure in
Cuba. This responsibility the United
States will assume only until such time
as stable government shall be form
ed and operative in Cuba. There will
be no perpetual guarantee on this
score.
Undue significance has been attached
to the dispatch of a special messenger
from Washington, yesterday, to the
President at Philadelphia. Almost
every day long report has come by
cable from Judge Day, president of the
ing what has been accomplished. Yes
terday's report was very long, and to
have reduced it to cipher code for the
purpose of telegraphing it to Philadel-
phia would have consumed more time
and been less satisfactory in results
than the services of a messenger. AS
vital stage had been reached, it was
though advisable not to delay till the
Presidents return.
1t is expected that the commissioners
will now take up the subject OF the Phil
ippines. The American commissioners
have given this subject much attention.
but SO far it has never appeared before
the joint commission save in the shape
of one spasmodic effort made by the
the United States abandon Manila as a
precedent to further work on the subject
of the philippines The American COM
missioners, among other things, have been
looking into the subject of the Philippine
debt, about which there is much ignor-
ance at this end of the line.
If the United States anneXes the Phil
ippines. which seems now to be the log
ical outcome of the situation, it might be
much of the debt as represented moneys
expended for the Improvement of the
islands should pass to the United States
with the title. The situation is regarded
as materially different from that of Cuba,
where the United States gains nothing,
for with the annexation of the Philip
pines we should acquire a territory al
most as large as the British Isles, with
population of more than 100000 people.

THE LAND FORCES.
General Miles Making Arrangements for the
Mobilization Of Troops

Signs of activity for what now seems
to be a probable conflict were con-
tinued at the war department. Every
thing Is in readiness for a prompt
movement of troops toward some CEN
trail point, particularly of the forces
east of the Rocky mountains, but Gen.
Miles says that nothing is likely to be
done In the way Of moving any large
body of troops southeastward until
there is more evidence that their SER
vices will be needed.
Complete arrangements have been
made for the immediate mobilization of
practically the entire military force of
the government at the Chickamauga
National park at the first signs of
trouble. 1t Is expected in case of neces-
city a call will be issued for about 40,-
900 troops, preferably from the nation
al guard OF the different states and ter
ritories. In the event that the war po-
Icy contemplates the invasion of Cuba,
the army may be increased to 100000
men. OF this the regular troops and
the national guard will aggregate
will be made up of volunteers.
In the event of a call upon the ma
tional guard attention will be directed
first to the organizations In the states
of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio
and the District of Columbia.
Gen. Miles plan is to mobilize seven
teen of the twenty-five regiments of in
fantry and fiv of the ten regiments Of
cavalry at the Chickamaugua park as
speedily as possible.

SPAIN ACCEPTS THE CHALLENGE.
READY TO FIGHT.
Denies All Right Of the United States to
Interfere -Hurrying FortiAoations
and Mobiiising Troopa

No matter what the decision OF the
United States Senate may be. Spain
positively will not yield her grasp upon
Cuba. The government at Madrid may
recognize the advsabiity Of yielding
peaceably To the demands OF America,
but dare not take such action, when
the military and CarIists are de-
.ernined to defy American interference
ON the Island with arms.
AS the result Of n long. important
cabinet council at Madrid the Spanish
war office is actively engaged In forti-
Tying and manning the Mediterranean
Islands of Spain and In placing other
portions OF the kingdom In a state OF
defense.
The meeting OF the cabinet was
wholly devoted to President McKin-
ley's message IL IL stated further that
the cabinet has granted an extraordin-
ary credit for war purposes and has In
cidentally increased the grant for the
account Of the artillery at Porto Rico.
Senor Gullon read a portion of the
text of President McKinley's message.
Although several paragraphs were
lacking, the cabinet. after referring to
the Presidents previous message,
which was considered necessary In or
der to fill up the gaps In the present
summary. decided that the paragraphs
received were sufficient for the cabinet
to affirm that the government refuses
to acknowledge the right of the Uniter
states to interfere In Cuba, adding:
THE doctrines contained In the mes
sage are incompatible with the sover-
eighty and rights Of the nation. and are
an interference In the international
affairs OF this country"
The Spanish government. however,
expressed the opinion that IL was not
called upon to take action until the re-
concentrations Of President Mckinley
have become specific acts.
The Spanish government considers
that apart from It's solemn afiirma-
tion of Spains rights as n nation the
ministers are not called upon to make
any declaration so long as the resolu-
tions of Congress or the initiative Of
President Mckinley do not lead to con-
crete acts.
The official note also says: "A firm
consciousness of Its rights, united with
the resolution to maintain them, will
inspire the nation. as they inspire the
government. with the serenity neces-
sary In these difficult moments to direct
successfully and defend energetically
the sacred interests which are the pat
rimony Of the Spanish race"

ROOF BLOWN OFF
Dust in Grain Elevator Explodes Doing
Damage to the Amount OF 5000, 900.

The roof OF the grain elevator at
H0osac tunnel docks. Charlestown,
near Boston. was blown completely off
by dust explosion at o'clock Sunday
morning, and the fire that followed not
only destroyed the remaining portion
Of the immense structure. but consum-
cd nearly the entire contents, over AGO.
900 bushels of mostly wheat.
The loss is estimated by the fire un-
derwriters at nearly 5000, 900, well COW
cred by insurance. The explosion not
only shook up the entire section Of
Charlestown, but was noticeably felt
In the city proper and many OF the su-
burbs Three quarters OF the fire de-
partment, including the two horseless
engines and fire boats. were soon mass
ed In the immediate vicinity. When the
first firemen arrived they found some
of the streets impossible, for portions
of the roof were in every direction.
Great timbers had been blown hun
dred feet in the air by the force of the
explosion and many of the upper
stories of neighboring property were
crushed and pierced by the great
beams. Much of the grain fell through
the pier to the dock, while practically
the whole of 1t was so thoroughly soak
ed with water that the loss will be
complete. The grain was valued at
100000. The loss on the structure Is

adjoining property, is about $4,000.

cendiary, who, after setting a house on
fire, strives to demonstrate his in
nocence by seconding the efforts of the
fire brigade. This organ of Prince Bis
marck, the hero of German-Americans
speaks Of a republic Of evil repute
which poses as a censor Of the morals
Of European monarchy. and Of q
state where a brutal and hypocritical
democracy has led and where venality
of officials. fraudulent appropriations
of public money and rowdyism and
lynch laws are the order of the day
The Indian campaigns Of the United
States are described as furnishing
instances Of guile, knavery. cruelty and
bloodshed as numerous as can be chron-
icled in the conduct of the war In Cuba

airs of superiority
There Is every reason for believing
that neither Prince Bismarck nor any
one else OF the slightest Importance In
