MADRID, Nov. 21.-In political circles

The government, it is semi-officially
announced, intends to notify the Cuban
bondholders that Spain will not pay the
Cuban debt, which will not be men
toned in the peace treaty.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 21.-The

in an opinion by Judge Caldwell of the
supreme court of the state. The opin-
ion declares that cigarettes are not
legitimate articles of commerce, be-
cause they are wholly noxious and de-
literious to health and therefore are not
within the provision of the federal con-
stitution protecting legitimate COM
merce. 1t also holds that the conven.
tional cigarette packet is not AN original

burning and the fire is beyond control.
A strong northwest wind is sweeping

The fire started in Mitchell's large

to the Grand Leader department store
across the street. 1t then swept down
the main street and over into the resi-
dence district of the center of town.
The Methodist church and the Cit.

ings.
The loss at present is about $500, 900.

Two Alternatives Laid Before the Spanish
Commissioners.
PARIS, Nov. 21.--The Spanish peace
commissioners have been notified that
the United States commissioners will
be ready to treat with them in joint
session during the afternoon. Unless
the Spaniards have an adequate reason
for further delay the two commissions
will join in the most important meeting
thus far held.
The American commissioners, in a
written communication, will declare
that the third article of the protocol re-
garding the Philippines is capable of
only one fair construction, that no arbi-
tration is needed to elucidate its terms
and that the United States cannot adj
NIT any other power to figure here
purely as lexicologist. They will
maintain that the two commissions are
charged to determine whether Spain or
the United States shall in future own
the Philippines.
This will be accompanied by the
clear declaration that the United States
will possess the Philippines.
Choice of Two Alternatives.
Following this declaration the Amer
ican commissioners will lay before the
Spaniards two alternatives:
First--To accept sum of money from
the United States and to cede and evac-
,ata tba philinnines
Second--To lose the Philippines to the
United States by conquest, with the pos
sibility of other territorial losses to in
demnify the United States for additional
expense of conquest.
This communication may not be for
mally designated as an ultimatum. but
it will lose none of the conclusiveness in
dicated by that word. This will be 80
plain that the Spanish commissioners
will scarcely haggle for money on the
first alternative, nor cherish any doubt
of American action under the second,
should the first be declined.
No one here, except the American
commissioners, know how much will be
rendered Spain as the cheapest and most
humane way of settling the difficulty.
Cuban Question May Come Up Again.
The Cuban question may come up
again, it is said. The American COM
missioners had thought the discussion
on that point finished, but the Spanish
commissioners are reported to have de-
clared last week that the mortgages i'm
posed by Spain on the Cuban as well as
the Philippine revenues must not be Inn
pared or questioned. This would com.
pei the American commissioners soon to
determine whether Spain means to re.
ppdiate the plain compact Of the pro-

War Department Gets an Encouraging
Report From the Philippines.
WASHINGTON, Nov. q. Word has
been received at the war department of
the death of j. A. Smith, private of Com
pany G, South Dakota, of apoplexy fol-
lowing malarial fever.
The war department officials say that
the report showing such a small death
rate among so many soldiers is extremely
gratifying, and indicates an improved
condition at Manila. That only one
death should occur in 10000 soldiers
since the last report, a week or ten days
ago, is very surprising. The department.
believes there has been great improve
ment in the health conditions in the
Philippines.

Ozark Mountains Around Macomb, NO.,
Ablaze for Miles.
MAcoMB, Mo-, Nov. 21.-The largest
and most destructive confagration that
has ever swept over the Ozark noun
tains since 1884, is now circumscribing
this town for miles and miles. The au-
tumn foliage has rapidly fallen since
frost and is supposed to have been fired
from sparks of freight engines. A scope
of country 13 miles long is in flames:
miles of fences, orchards, plantations,
farms and dry pasture fields, stocked
with cattle and other animals, and many
other settlers homes lie directly in the
line of the ravaging monster.
Whole neighborhoods are advancing
to the scene, but find themselves totally
unable to check the flames. Their only
remedy is to hurriedly turn out stock
from the way of the fire and leave
property to the flames. The altitude is
1,700 feet, and with strong southwest
erly wind prevailing, terrible destruc-
ton is feared. The town of Macomb
will probably be destroyed.
