London, Nov. 16.-The rumorS circu-
lated here yesterday that the American
fleet was on the point of starting for
commercial circles.
The Daily Graphic says this morning:
The Spanish transatlantic fleet has
been ordered to be prepared for a re-
newal Of hostilities, and the forts in
the Canary islands are being rapidly
manned.
Madrid, Nov. 15.-According to semi
official statements here, the Spanish
peace commissioners will maintain
their present attitude in regard to the
Philippine islands, and will certainly
not accept the conditions of the United
States. Further, if the discussion does
not return to the limits Of the protocol,
as viewed by the Spaniards, the Span
ish commissioners have decided, in
spite Of contrary reports, not to sign a
treaty of peace.
1t is also learned from the same
sources that complete accord prevails
between the Spanish government and
its peace commissioners.
Washington, Nov. 15.-The officials of
the state department do not expect that
IOmOrtOW-S meeting OIL the peace COM
miSsiOners in Paris viii be the last.
On the other hand, it is not expected
that the Spaniards win come in with
an unconditional acceptance of our last
demand. Still, substantial progress
may be regarded as having been
achieved if the Spaniards show a dis
position to discuss in any phase the
cession of the Philippines to the United
States, even in connection with a
=. 81 1,o+
indemnity, after all, it is believed, will
be the principal point of difference be-
tween the two sides.
Inquiry has been made into the char
acter of the projectors of the remark
able syndicate scheme for the purchase
of the Philippines for the sum of $780,
G00,t00. The result has been to show

REVOLUTION IN SALVADOR.
People Are Opposed to the Federation
of Republics.

New York, Nov. "a cable dis
patch received in this city from Liber-
tab, Nicaragua, states that revolu-
ton has broken out in Salvador. It is
only fortnight since Salvador, Hon
duras and Nicaragua Joined their des-
TIMES and formed the United States of
Central America. Merchants and COM
mercial men in this city who are ia
mfliar with affairs in Central Amer
lea, however, were not surprised when
informed that a revolution in Saliva
dor was reported to have broken out.
While the federation Of the three coun-
tries was approved and carried out by
the presidents and commissioners ap-
pointed from each country to draw up
constitution, the people of Salvador
have not been enthusiastic over the
new scheme, particularly as it appears
that the financial burdens of maintain
ing the new state will fall most heavily

to Secretary Charles F. Dick, will be
opened in Washington as soon as con-

We will go on in keeping in touch

Our idea is to always have them in

OF work, and not to depend upon organ

Paterson, N. j., Nov. 15.-Miss Caro-
line Swartout. 90 years Old, is dead
at her home here. Miss Swartout was
the last lineaI descendant OF a family
well known in New York and New
Jersey. She was the daughter OF John
Swartout, who was the personal friend
of Aaron Burr, and his second in his
duel with Alexander Hamilton. After
the duel Burr took refuge in the Swart-
out home. The Swartouts were also
connected with Burr's scheme to form
"a new empire of the west" and we're
implicated in Burr's trial for treason,
which brought forth Wirt's famous
defense of Blennerhassett." Miss
Swartout was an aunt of Judge John
S. Backalow of this city.

fsnecial to The Herald. J

Washington, NOV. 15.-ASSlStdnC Al
jutant General Schwan said this after
noon that the war department is not at
present considering the return of the
Utah volunteers now in the Philip
pines to the United States. He added
that at a conference held last night be-
tween the adjutant general and him
self it was decided to incorporate in an
official document the statement that
the department docs not contemplate
the return of the Philippine volunteers
under any circumstances"
Washington, Nov. 15.-Great pressure
is being brought upon the war depart
ment to have the volunteer troops now
in the Philippines returned to this
country. Nearly every state that has
troops stationed at Manila has asked,
through it's governor or representatives
in congress- that these troops be sent
home. This pressure comes through
the relatives and friends of the volun-
teers, and is started by the troops who
have been writing home. Some of these
letters, published in the state papers
at the homes of the enlisted men, have
created a wave of sympathy for the
volunteers in far off Manila. While
they do not recount very great hard
ships, except among those who are i'll,
they do show that the life is very OBJ
noxicus, and that the duty of policing
the city Of Manila and remaining in
active is very disagreeable.
1t is said at the war department that
there is no way of relieving these
troops from duty in the Philippines at
the present time. The uncertain con-
ditions that exist in the island of Luz
zon make it utterly impossible to get
along with a sr1aIfsr number than arc
stationed there at present. General
Otis has been asked by. cable if troops
could be spared, and has replied in the
negative.
The great demand that has been
made for the muster out of volunteer
regiments or individual members of
such regiments will form the basis Of a
strong recommendation in the annual
message of the president for an in
crease in the regular army. This new
force will be needed to take the place
of tn volunteers who desire to return
hom and leave the service.
The following dispatch has been re-
ceived at the war department:
Manila, Nov. Is.
Secretary of War, Washington:
Health conditions improving; only
six deaths in the last eight days. Sick
reported decreasing. Five female
nurses of the Red Cross are doing ex-
cellent work in hospitals here. Twenty
competent female nurses, who give
strict attention to work, would render
beneficial services. OTIS"

RABBI HAD A GUN.
Jewish Clergyman at New York Kills
a Burglar.


New York, Nov 15.-Rev. Maurice
Rosenthal. a Jewish clergyman, was
aroused from his sleep early today by
hearing a stranger in his house in East
One Hundred and Sixteenth street.
Aiming himself with a pistol, he went
into the parlor, where he was attacked
by the intruder. The two men fought
desperately for a few moments, the
burglar proving to be the stronger. At
last the clergyman fired his pistol full
in the face OF the burglar, who fell IN
conscious, the bullet having torn out
his left eye and entered the brain. The
wounded man was taken to the hos
Dital, where he recovered sufficiently
to reveal his name and address as Will
liam Farrell of North Third street,
Philadelphia. He is about u years of
age and of powerful build. The sur
geons say he cannot, recover.

MEsA's FIRST FIRE.

Mesa had its first fire this morning.
Just before going to press at about IL
O'Clock. the alarm of fire rang out upon
the air, and in almost tTinkling the
ctreet was full of people rushing to the
scene of the fire which was in Cosby's
grocery store adjoining Passey and Nets
furniture store. Everybody workad
with will in trying TO extinguish the
fire and iu rrying out goods ont Of Cos
by's and the adjoining stores. The two
buildings, Cosby's and Passey & Nets
were of wood and corrugated iron, and
it was soon apparent that they cou d
not be saved. 4 All efforts were then di-
rected to saving the Johnson block con-
tanning Johnson Bros store and the
post Office and Abel, Wilbur & Co.'s
hardware store The fire -fend licked
up the two wooden building quickly,
but the gallant work of the boys, the
gentle east wind and the solid seventeen
inch brick wall of the johnson block
stayed the flames. Had there been g
west wind, or had the walls OF the
Johnson block been less thick ami solid,
the entire south side of Main street
would have gone up in flame and smoke.
The losses, outside of damage to goods
removed, are, Cosby, about $500, no in
