Spaniards Have Found That Their
Manana Policy Wont Work.
WILL NOT PAY MUNICIPAL DEBTS
The Municipalities Must Pay Them
selves, as They Are Not Chargeable
TO Spain-It il Thought the Com-
missioners VIII Demand All
the Philippine
Group.

WASHINGTON. oct. 2s.-The Presi-
dent was enabled to lay before the cabi-
net to-day very encouraging reports from
Paris regarding the progress of the peace
negotiations. The administration now
fully believes that the negotiations viii
be concluded much sooner than was ex-
pected from the outlook a few days ago.
1t can be stated authoritative!y that
the commissioners have not yet actually
begun the discussion Of the Philippine
question. and further than that. 1t VIII
not be taken UP until next week.
HURRIED Up.
Since the spaniards have found that
the American commissioners mean eN-
actly what they say and that their pre-
sentation Of the side Of the United States
is in reality an ultimatum. the useless
ness OF prolonged debate, IL is said, has
become apparent 10 the Spaniards and
It is now believed the Philippine discus
sion will be less protracted than expect
ed some days ago.
The recent action OF the United states
Government in intmating that the neeo-
tiations we're proceeding much too slow
ly has had It's effect upon the Spanish
commissioners and they are not likely 10
debate remaining propositions to the
length they did the settlement OF the
Cuban debt.
MUNICIPAL DEBTS.
The United states has not assumed nor
guaranteed the sO-called municipal ceDt
OF Cuba or Cuban municipalities. but
# is expected that such debts VIII Dc
paid by the municipalities incurrins them
for by no reasoning could they be charg-
cd upon Spain. our government IL Is
said in official circles would look upon
any attempt at evadins the payments OF
such debts as reputation and dishonest.
and whatever government is established
I'm Cuba will be expected TO see that these
obligations are carried ont In good faith.
Moreover. some Of the bonds OF Cuban
municipalities are held by citizens or the
United States and the United States
might insist that the investments or her
citizens I'm such securities are made good
The state Department has no informa-
tion as TO the amount of these municipal
liabilities.
Attorney-General Griggs and Secreta-
ries Gage and Long on account OF their
absence fro mthe city were not present
at to-day's Cabinet meeting
CUBAN QUESTION SETTLED.
Secretary Hay said that the Cuban
question. as he understood had not been
finally settled by the Paris Peace Com
mission. but complete settlement II
was expected would be reached by the
end of the present week.
The Philippine question, he thought
would be taken up by the Joint commits
sion early in the coming week. Al
though the members Of the Cabinet are
reticent on the subject Of the Philippines
there is little or no doubt that nothing
less than the cession OF the entire group
of islands will be accepted by the Ameri-
can commissioners.

PEACE JUBILEE ENDS.
The Celebration Closed With Mon
ster Civic Parade.


PHILADELPHIA, oct. 2S.-The great
peace jubilee was brought to a glorious
conclusion to-day with monster civic
celebration. The magnificent illumination
of the city continues tonight and the
streets are still jammed with people. AL
though President Mckinley and others
OF the Washington party returned 10 the
capital last night, interest was not less
eager in to-day's programme which was
not marred by single unfavorable con-
dition.
The day opened with the re-dedicatlon
of Independence Hall ard then Governor
Hastings. Mayor Warwick, and the other
officials reviewed the parade from the
same stand in the Court OF Honor which
the President occupied yesterday. More
than 10000 people were in line. the beauty
Of which was enhanced by many interest
ing floats.
The Commercial Museums had floats
descriptive OF Hawaii the Philippines,
Porto Rico and cuba. Four natives in
costume were on the Hawaiian float,
which also carried bags OF sugar coffee
and other products.
The same idea was pursued on the other
foats, representing our newly acquired
colonies. one Of the most striking floats
was that representing the interior OF the
old Ross House. with Betsy Ross exhio-
iting to Washington and Hancock the
first American flag ever made. II was
called "the birth Of the American nag."
one Of the most elaborate displays was
that styled "Our Reunited Country" II
showed a group Of American soldiers,
among whom stood with clasped hands a
Confederate and Union soldier.
after Many Years" was the title OF
float representing John Bull and Uncle
Sam casping hands across the bows
Of their respective cruisers.
Other floats showed Hobsons raft,
Dewey at Manila, the Red Cross minis
tering TO wounded soldiers. the heroes
OF the war, and Liberty, the latter repre-
sented by Columbia and thirteen original
States. The evolution OF the army and
navy was shown by bodies Of marching
men dressed in the costumes Of different
periods OF American history from l"5
TO 1SoS
one Of the events OF the day was
q reception on board the new Japanese
cruiser. Kasagi. by Captain Kashiwa-
bara. and the officers Of the ship. The
function was I'm the nature OF a fare
well, as the Kasagi which recently
went into commission. will shortly sail
for England after receiving her guns,
thence 10 Japan. Among those who at
tended were General Summer, COmmo-
dore and Mrs. Philip, Captain Sigsbee,
Captain Folger, Lieutenant-Commande
Mark Governor and Mrs Hastings
Mayor and Mrs. Warwick. and a large
number OF State and city officials; army
and navy officers and distinguished jubi-
lee guests.

OPPOSE THE JUNTA.
A Strong Movement in Havana Against
the Provisional Government.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2s.-The Times to-
morrow will print the following: "Fidel
q. Pierra said yesterday (Friday) that a
strong movement had been started In Ha-
vana In opposition to the provisional gov
ernment and 10 the Junta here. lie gave
the reasons for such movement, showing
that there Is a sharp division or sentl-
ment among Cubans.
Mr.. Pierra and his friends are espe-
claly bitter against General Palma. At
the commencement OF his interview he
said that he was now ready TO break tho
long silence and paint Mr., Palma and the
men surrounding him I'm their true colors.
General Palma, Mr. Pierra said. was In
competent and unfit for the position he
had been occupying
What we object to most strong
said he. was the long-continued lying and
deceit which the Junta praciiced on the
administration az Washington. they told
untruths. and they knew II. They lied
when they said that the so-called gov
ernment was established and the ma
chnery in running order. This has since
been disprOved.'
