A s0UABBLE OVER GUNS.
Army and Navy Men In Cuba Have n
Slight understanding.


Santiago de Cuba, Nov. 1S.-Colonel
Ray. the American commander at
Guantanamo, reports from that place
that he heard that the United States
government ship Glacier had landed
number Of men at the port Of Cayo del
Toro and had taken possession OF the
two finest pieces of bronze cannon there.
It was added that the men of the Gla-
cier had accidentally blown up the ar
senal.
Immediately after hearing these re-
ports Colonel Ray went to Caimanera
In order to investigate the matter.
There he saw Captain Norman and the
officers Of the ship. who positively de-
MED knowing anything regarding the
cannon. Colonel Ray. however, said he
had obtained his information from re-
liable source. the British consul being
his informant, whereupon Captain Nor
man admitted taking the guns and said
he took them for the secretary Of the
navy.
The captain refused to furnish any
further information on the subject, and
consequently 1t Is not known whether
he acted under the orders of the secre-
tary of the navy or Is merely making
the secretary private present.
Three similar guns have been asked
for by the navy department as orna-
ments for Annapolis, and the war office
Granted the permission necessary, with
the result that Captain Chester of the
Cincinnati will ship them north at the
frst opportunity.
Colonel Ray was at first inclined to
demand the immediate return of the
guns, but he decided to await instruc-
lions on the subject.
A corporal of the Third immune regi-
ment, at Guantanamo who was detail
ed to assist in the free ration d.stribu-
ton. has been discovered. in co-opera-
ton with some merchants of the town.
to have been swindling the government.
Large supplies of bacon and meal were
found to have disappeared and caused
Colonel Ray to investigate the matter
He discovered a big shortage, the mon
ey value being over $1,000. and traced
the affair to the corporal and three
merchants, who were acting with him.
They are all under arrest.

The SPANISH POSITION.
Two Important Statements 1t
Thought They Made.

| Two Important Statements 1t Ii
Thought They Made.
Paris, Nov. 1S.-The clerical force OF
| the American peace commission was
busy nearly all night in translating the
Spanish memorandum presented at the
Joint session. While the translators
and typewr!ters were rendering the
| Spanish argument into printed English.
| counsel for the American commission
studied 1t sheet by sheet, making notes
Of records to be examined and Of law
points bearing on the matter in hand.
AS result; when the Americans gath
cred for their daily session. the Spanish
presentment lay before them in Eng
fish ready for consideration and &C
companed by data bearing upon 1t.
No unofficial person knows the con-
tents of the document presented by the
Spanish commissioners, but 1t is safe to
assume that. added to her insistence on
the reservation Of her Philippine SOW
ereignty and her proposition to arbi-
trate the construction Of the third ar
t.cle of the protocol, Spain has made
two ctier important statements:
First.-That on the high ground of
financial probity she cannot allow any
ulSCuoo oH mere VI LIE Vdliulty OIL ner
action in pledging the resources of the
Phil ppines for the payment Of the Phil
ippine debt.
Second.-That, in connection with the
American proposal to reimburse Spain
for her pacific expenditures in the Phil
ippines, she cannot admit Of any in
quiry as to how she has spent the pro-
ceeds Of the loans based on the Philip
pine pledges.
If Spain assumed this attitude, and
1t Is believed she has done So she prac-
tically compels the American commits
sioners to consider at least the entire
Philippine debt and its assumption by
the United States or the Philippine Is.
lands as condition to SPANS amicable
surrender of her sovereignty over those
islands.
1t is difficult to understand how the
Americans can reply to this in any 9TH
er manner than by strictly outlining
their position.
TIE Mat'n, in reviewing the history of
the late war, criticses the Americans
attitude in regard to the Philippine is
lands and says Prince Bismarck on one |
occasion remarked that when you |
have your knee on nations neck, you |
should make her cough out all you
can" adding:
at is possible the United States now
this brutal maxim. and it is
also p1sel,'o the United States has for
gotten the rancor, hatred and exaspera-
Lon it~involves."

The failnre of the Vermont House OF
Representatives to pass the bill provid

General while preventing scramble
for the Office by political lawyers yet is
to be regretted from the fact that the
State needs just such an officer. But
it seems to be certain that unless sever
al members of the House can see free

animal they will not vote for the passage
of any measure.
