and simply designed to make 1t plain that
the continuance of the voyage Of the Bue-
nos Ayres Is Objectionable. On the other
hand, a member of the Cabinet said that
all of the Philippines, with the exception
of Manila, are in the nominal possession
Of Spain, and that 1t is her undoubted
privilege, II she deems 1t advisable to do
So to send troops to the eastern islands to
subdue any insurrection that may occur
Another member of the Cabinet who talked
the matter over with the President ad-
mitted that Spain has the moral right to
send reinforcements to the Philippines, but
as the forces of this government are in
control 1t is within its power to prevent
such reinforcements reaching their desti-
nation. However, 1t is not expected that
the matter will go beyond q protest II it
goes that far.
From the dispatch received from Chair
man Day. the authorities are still Of the
opinion that the work Of the Peace Com
mission will be completed before Congress
meets. Mr.. Day takes quite an optimistic
view Of the situation. 1t Is his desire to
limit the time of discussion Of the various
points raised as much as possible, in or
der that the negotiations may reach an
early conclusion. Information which has
been received here shows conclusively that
Spain has no further hope of foreign inter-
ference and this fact leads the authorities
to believe that she will not attempt to drag
the negotiations out as long as she would
II she believed there was chance of any
European government attempting to secure
Ia modification Of the American terms.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 1O-The Botkin
case is likely to develop sensation before
the alleged poisoner is removed from the
state Governor Budd signed the extrada-
tion warrant this afternoon and gave It to
Chief Lees. Attorney General Fitzgerald
thought 1t was legal and that 1t was suf-
fctent for her removal Hearing that the
warrant had been issued, Mrs. Botkin's
attorneys hastened to the federal court and
were prepared to ask Judge Hawley to
issue writ Of habeas corpus TO prevent
the state authorities from forcibly TALKING
the prisoner out Of the state, but Judge
Hawley could not be found. It 10 possible
that the prisoner will be taken away to-

NEW YORK, Oct. 1O.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Alger has sent an answer to
the War Investigating Commission which,
in the words Of one Of the commissioners.
''does not answer
'In the first place." said this commits
sioner, I'VE asked who had been influential
in selecting the camp sites. The only an
swer vouchsafed Is that General Lee select
ed the camp a Jacksonville do not think
any other camp Is mentioned. But this
omission will, no doubt, be remedied in the
supplemental report for which we will call
on the Secretary"
Secretary Alger's report includes about
5000 words, and in addition to the Jackson
Vile camp matter, covers only these points:
The selection Of Tampa as point Of en-
barkation; Rear Admiral Sampson's dis
patch the cause Of the Fastening Of troops
to Santiago; Commodore Remey's dispatch
the cause Of the subsequent delay Of the
troops. Discussion of these topics exhausts
tho report.
No attempt seems to have been made to
explain the causes Of the hardships suffered
by the soldiers in Tampa. The matter "
brushed aside with apparent contempt in
the reply that Tampa was considered q
good location and the most convenient
point Of emharkat1on.
Secretary Alger will be asked for q fuller
|answer.
The program Of the commission for this
week is to have no witnesses, except those
who may be caught passing through Wash
|ington. The time will be spent in reading
the voluminous report Of tho Adjuta Mt, then
the report Of Surgeon-General Sternberg
and then the reports Of other heads Of de-
partments.
Members Of the commission expect to
leave for q tour Of the camps . week from
Monday. They may go frst to Camp Meade
before It breaks up. They win 60 10 Jack
sonville, where Colonel Bryan win be one
of the important witnesses. The tour of
the camps, 1t 10 thought, will consume about
two weeks. The commission will return &c
Washington and later goto New York city
| In New York two prominent witnesses
will be called-Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
and R. B. Roosevelt. The latter made grave
charges against the administration Of Com
missary General Agan and will be asked to
substantiate them.
After the examination In New York the
commission will return to Washington be-
fore going to Santiago which. it Is thought
will be among the last things done by the
commission.

Of Mrs. ]. ]. Kunkel, whose husband Is now
under arrest, charged with having poisoned
her to secure the insurance covering her
life. was today exhumed for examination.
Arsenic was used to embalm the body, and
the examination Is to determine whether
the arsenic found in the stomach was sep
arate from that used in the embalming. A
feeling In favor Of Kunkel has developed
In the last twenty-four hours, and the Of
ficers are now inclined to believe that 1t will
be hard to convict him Of the charge against
him. Today telegram was received from
Seattle, Wash, asking II Kunkel needed
any assistance In any way and proffering

The battalion Of the Twenty-third United

Second Oregon regiments have been des-
ignated for embarkation on the Senator,
which win sail by the end Of the week
and may carry 200 more men, probably one
of the batteries of the California Heavy

Work on the transport steamers Valencia,
Indiana, Senator and Ohio is progressing.
but 1t will be next Sunday at the earliest
before the Senator, the first Of the ships
to be ready for sea, can be dispatched. 1t
is probable that she will carry the Twenty
third United States infantry and the re-
cruits of the Second Oregon regiment. The
Valencia will be ready some time next
week, but the troops to go on her have not
been assigned. The Ohio and Indiana need
extensive repairs. The transports Rio de
Jane!ro, Pennsylvania and Newport are ex-
pected to put In an appearance at any time.
The Rio has number of sick soldiers on
board.
General Merriam has decided to send to
Manila upon the transports Valencia and
Ohio the First Washington regiment and
Battery Of the California Heavy artil-
lery. Colonel Wholly Of the Washington
regiment was instructed to make all neces-
sary preparations for embarising his COM
mand on or about Tuesday, October Is.
The Senator will carry the Twenty third
infantry battalion, the Oregon recruits and
Battery D Of the California heavy artillery.
The men going on this expedition will not
be compelled to subsist on the regular
army rations, but considerable variety of
food will be allowed on the voyage.

Rough Riders, Dr. Hysell, chief surgeon of
the Second division, located at Camp

WORK AT PARIS
France Fears America Won't Be Gen.
eroue Enough

erous Enough
PARIS, Oct. 10-The United States Peace
| Commission held two sessions today. They
were devoted to acquiring and weighing In
| formation relative to all the questions in
volved in the matters under the immediate
consideration Of the comm5ss oners.
1t is believed the question now being dis
cussed relates to Cuba and the debt Of that
Island.
The Paris newspapers show evidence Of
anxiety in behalf Of the Spanish cause. The
Matin on Sunday alleged that IAN under
standing regarding Cuba and Porto Rico
was possible, as the United States claims
every thing and Spain refuses nothing, but
the difficulty arses on the question Of the
Philippine Islands"
The Matin closes its remarks on the sub
ject by expressing the belief that I'VE shall
see the republic which has just shown her
self to be SO brave and strong. show her
self also generous"
As the joint commissions have not yet
considered the Philippine question, the
Paris newspapers appear to Americans as
making the statement that the Philippines
are under consideration In order to be In a
positloa to abjure the American commits
sion to treat SPAN generously.
The Gaulois this morning reviews the
political situation. and declares its conclu-
sion that between the alleged reported
purpose Of expansion and the Democratic
opposition thereto. President Mckinley and
the United States commission will be in
sp.red after all with the sentiments Of gen.
crosity which are the honor Of victorious
nations"
The keynote to these expressions seems to
have been sounded by . Spanish diplomat
to an American here last week. the diplo-
mat saying that the United States should be
generous to Spain.
| A dispatch from Madrid this morning
says that the cost Of the Cuban and Philip
Ip!nc campaigns win exceed sooo, 900 ,0ot

SPANISH PRISONERS
To Blame for the Shooting on the
Harvard

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-Colonel Dud-
lev. assistant Judge advocate general, has
made report to the secretary of war en- the
trouble which occurred on board the Har-
ward soon after the naval fight at Santiago.
At that time some five or six hundred
Spanish prisoners were on board the ship
under guard Of the Massachusetts, and
Michigan volunteers. A riot occurred among
the prisoners and the soldiers shot several
of the Spaniards before quiet was restored.
The Spaniards claimed that the Americans
were to blame. while the American officers
defended the action Of their men. Colonel
Dudley sustains the contention of the
American officers and soldiers and places
the blame for the trouble upon the Spanish
prisoners.

Chicago Virden Company, in regard to
sending troops to Virden where the oper-
ators have been planning to use imported
negroes to fill the places of strikers. Man.
ager Lukens in reply to a question said he

orators in running their mines with i'm
ported labor. and II the operators attempt
ed to enforce their ideas in regard to Win
chesters he would send the National Guard
to Virden to disarm all.
In regard to the situation at Pana, Gov

SPANISH ACTION
Likely to Bring Forth q Diplomatic
Protest

-
NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
Tho United States may submit a diplo-
matte protest to Spain through the French
government against its action in sending q
Spanish auxiliary cruiser loaded with arms
and ammunition to the Philippines.
In any event, the matter is under con-
sideration, and It is believed has been called
to the attention of the American commits
sioners In Paris. The cruiser In question
is the Buenos Ayres. belonging to the
Spanish auxiliary navy, which Admiral
Dewey reported to the Navy Department
several days ago, is due to arrive at Sin
gapore October 10. 1t is appreciated by the
authorities that Spain has the same right
in the eyes Of international law to send
reinforcements to the Philippines as this
government has. and any protest made
would be Of the most diplomatic character
