MADE PLAIN TO SPAIN.
She Now Understands About the
Cuban Debt.

Paris, Oct 1S.-The peace commits
sions will meet again tomorrow:
During yesterdays session the COM
rnjssioners were occupied with the con-
sideration of the Spanish presentation
of Tuesday last and the American an
svver. submitted on Friday, relating to
Cuba and the debt of the island. The
examination of the American written
canvass on the subject was not con-
Guided and viii be continued at the
next Joint meeting, following which the
Spanfards will doubtless reply in writ
ing the conclusion of the subject soon
following.
The interchanges regarding Cuba, are
now SO advanced that the Spaniards
will not fail to understand the United
States determination, not to assume
any part of the so-called Cuban debt
of four hundred millions. 1t should not,
however, be understood that the Amer
leans during the course of the contro-
versy have been unmindful of certain
local burdens, like. the municipal obi
and kindred properties, local and per-
manent, which may be provided for.

CHANGE Is DEFEATED.
Episcopal Church Marriage ReguIa-
tions Stand as Before.

Washington. Oct. 18.-Important action
was taken by the respective bodies of the
Episcopalian council here yesterday on
two subjects which caused much discus
sion during the deliberations of those two
bodies. The house of bishops, by a vote
of 81 to "a, rejected propositions bearing
on the subject of re-marrIage of divorced
persons designed to take the place of those
now in existence. The present resolu-
tons on that matter remain in force.
In the house of deputies, after a debate
which has continued for several days,
step in the direction of church unity was
precipitated by the offering of an amend
ment to the constitution by the Rev. DR..
Huntington of New York. While agree
ing with the principle of this the deputies
finally decided to adopt a briefer amend
ment, offered by Mr.. Faude of Minnesota,
follows:
but provision may be made by canon
for the temporary use of other forms and
directories of bishops by congregations not
already in union with this church, who are
willing to accept the spiritual oversight
bishops. will go to the dioceses for action
and must be passed by the next general
convention before it becomes operative.

ALL is LOVELY.
w Ork of Investigating the Con-
duet of the War
And the Condition of Camps
During Its Progress
BEGINS IN THE SOUTH.
J Jacksonville Camp Visited by
the Commission.
Nothing Could Be Finer or More
Beautiful to See.
BEGINS IN THE SOUTH.

Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 1S.-The war
investigating commission spent yester-
day afternoon inspecting the camps in
the immediate vicinity of Jacksonville.
A heavy rain was falling during a part
of the tour but the commissioners per
formed their self appointed task Of go
ing through the camp from one end to
the other in a very painstaking man
ner. They took carriages from the
depot Immediately after the arrival of
the train at 1890 o'clock and did not
return until after nightfan. The COM
mission interviewed privates and Off
GERS alike and made personal visits to
the quarters of the men and their com
manders. They lifted the covers of the
commissary stores, went through the
Kitchens, went through the drug stores,
inspected the apparatus, talked to the
physicians and nurses and made special
inquiry into the method of conducting
the hospitals. All three of the division
hospitals were visited and inspected,
the commissioners going through the
tents, and in some instances where con-
versation was allowable, talking with
the patients.
They found the patients to be ap-
parently well cared for and so far as
could be discovered they were as con-
tented as sick men generally are. Many
of them were reading books and maya
zines, but in a greater number of cases
the men either held before their eyes
or clasped closely in their arms letters
which had evidently been received from
home. The patients were all found oc-
cupying clean beds or cots, and IN no
instance was a hospital tent or pavilion
found to be without a floor. In many
cases the hospital tents were effectuaI-
" screened against flies and mos
quitOes.
But one complaint was heard in the
entire round, and this was evidently
not made in a spirit of fault finding
Colonel Jones of South Carolina, found
fault with the climate, saying that fully
20 per cent of his men were i'll, largely
on this account. He also said some ra-
lions of refrigerator beef have been
received in bad condition which was
due to the weather. Summing up the re-
suit of the inspection, General Dodge,
the chairman, said:
I'VE have compared notes after the
days work and found that complaint
was made from but one regiment during
the day. This was the objection adopted
to the climate by Colonel Jones. We
saw both officers and men, sick and
well, and we gave all an opportunity to
be heard, asking the men in the ab-
sence of their officers, if they had any
criticism to make.
I'VE shall tomorrow begin the inquiry
tv examining the men under oath and
We hone if there are any shortcomings
to thus uncover them. We find the SICK
doing exceptionally well, and we are
pleased to congratulate their physicians
on the excellent arrangements made for
their care.
This statement was made in the
0resence of the members of the COM
mission and was endorsed by them.

FIFTY-SIX BODIES
Of Victims of the Mohegan Disaster
Have Been Recovered.

Falmouth Oct. 18.-The inquest over
the remains of the Mohegan victims be-
gan yesterday afternoon in the church
at Keverine, because it was necessary
formally to identify the dead there. The
survivors, many of them wounded and
carrying their arms in sings, were OBJ
liged to ride 20 miles over the toughest
roads from Falmouth.
The coroner expressed his sympathy
with the relatives, many of them from
a slant but kindred country
The roll of the dead was then called,
one woman's body was claimed by two
families. Other bodies had no identi-
ffcation.
A. S. Williams, the company's London
manager, testified, describing the ship
as in the finest condition. He said they
had had trouble with her boilers on her
first voyage and had withdrawn her
from one trip, devoting several weeks
to repairing her machinery which was
perfectly adjusted. He described the
officers of the Mohegan in the highest
terms, laying stress on the abstemious-
ness in CaptainNGriffiths Speaking or
the crew. Mr.. Williams said:
I'VE know that the crew did all they
could to save the passengers
Richard Kelly, passenger: There
was not an officer on the deck when the
crew were trying to get out the boats.
The only officers l saw were Captain
Grifiths and another on the bridge"
Mr.. Williams: Il can prove that all
of the officers were on deck and aiding
to get out the boats.''
Mr.. Kelly insisted that the boats were
improperly arranged, being surrounded
by ratings instead of swung on davits,
so that they were with difficulty launch
ed.
Mr.. Williams contended that the
launching of four boats in 20 minutes
was good work
The coroner adjourned the inquest for
a week to secure the attendance of a
nautical expert, representing the board
of trade
After the adjournment, Mr.. Kelly
complained that only members of the
crew had been summoned to testify.
The coroner replied that he would be
very glad to hear the experiences of the
passengers. In response, Mr.. Kelly
with others, protested inability to re-
later, offering to testify Immediately.
The coroner declared that this was out
of the question. The total number of
bodies recovered up to midnight is Sc.

TOO HOT TO CELEBRATE.
Arrangements for Today in Porto
Rico Called Of

Ponce, Porto Rico, Oct. 18.-By per-
mission of General Guy v Henry, Col
J. B. Castleman of the First Kentucky
volunteers, had arranged to assemble
all the regimentaI bands to take part
at noon today in the celebration at that
hour of the signal and formal surrender
of the island of Porto Rico to the
United States.
The bands of the First Kentucky vol
unteers, the Third Wisconsin volunteers,
the First volunteer engineers and the
Nineteenth regular infantry were to
play the Star Spangled Banner in
unison Immediately after the firing of
the A guns from the batteries.
In consequence of the intense heat,
however, General Henry after a further
conference with Col. Castleman, has
decided not to allow a review of the
troops, considering the enfeebled condi-
ton of the men, but there will be music
and other forms of celebration.
