rings with praise for the gallantry of

seven heroic seamen who joined him in

sinking the collier Merrimac in the
channel just before daybreak Friday
morning. The gallant eight went to
what seemed certain death with the APP

Admiral Cervera's offer to exchange
the prisoners will be avai!ed of as soon
as possible. AT + ort Mcpherson, Ga,
there are now imprisoned one Spanish
first lieutenant, seven second lieuten-
ants, one sergeant and nine privates.
Their names and ranks will be for
warded TO Admiral Sampson and he will
be instructed to secure the release of
Hobson and his followers at the earliest
possible moment.
Gives Sampson an Advantage
Constructor Hobson's bravery has put
Admiral Sampson in position where
he can await the arrival of the invad-
ing army. Troops are concentra ding at
Tampa as fast as they can reach that
city. It is estimated that nearly $4,000
volunteers and regulars will be poured
into Cuba to take Santiago from the
rear, while Sampson attends to the
armada.

Paris, Nov 10. 80 Al the request Of the
Spanish who found it i'm
possible To prepare their memorandum
iUr presentation, 10 dAys meeting OF the
peace commission Was deferred until
Wednesday. Importance Is attached ~
the delay, II being regarded as indicating
that the Spanish commissions s are pre-
pairing for a hnal end OF negotiations. It
may be now definitely stated that theJ
will not sign q Treaty OF peace which
yields 10 Spain no more from tne Philip
pines than has thus far been offered or
indicated by the Americans. The span
ish commissioners will declare their
mission Is finished. II IL possible the
SpaniaTds will also suggest the suspen-
sion OF negotiations through the commits
sion and the resumption OF negotiations
between Madrid and Washington. This
attitude OF Spain's Is explained by the
fact that the members Of the Spanish
commission have political alliances 10
constituencies and national creditors OF
Spain, which restrict them To certain
lines, which are AZ far as the ministry at
Madrid cares 10 20 10. IL Is. pointed out
that IL the five Spanish commissioners
here signed the treaty yielding the
Philippines TO the United states without
lessening SpAin's cebt In an appreciable
degree they could lot return home with
prospect Of any political future before
them and they possibly would be In
danger OF violence at the hands VI the
mod. The Spaniards will insist on
o ereignty OF Spain over the p Piitippines
Is teyCnd question, but will announce
SIain's readiness to yield that sovereign
for an adequate equivalent and then
invite negotiations under the Spanish
construction OF the protocol.
The Americans are expected at fu-
ture meeting 20 present carefully pre-
pared cluc u5iOn Ot their contention and
conditions. should they bs no different
from those already presented the time
will then arrive when Spain will declare
herself helphss though stesdfast, and
will wait the next step OF the United
States whatever Il may be. Thus Spain
will be able n say 10 her creditors that
she has done her utmost and the issue
must rest between them and the United
States.
