Mormon missionaries who have become
so bold that they enter private houses

the most plausible arguments IN their
favor and that converts are being sent
right along from Brooklyn to Utan.
And vet Brooklyn poses as an educated

churches. But Northern men are Ia

Preparing for War.

Paris, Oct. 19.-In spite of semi off
cial denials, the Echo de Paris asserts
today, that the embarkation of wal
materials and supplies continues at
Loulon, adding that extraordinary ac-
tlTity reigns at the arsenal there. Be
sides the iron clads Admiral Trehouart
Bouvines, Jemmapes and Valmy, the
cruisers Alger, Levrier and Caiman
it claims, are getting ready for ser
vice, embarking ammunition and wa,
materials. In addition it is further as
serted the transports Bien-Hoa and
Gironde are almost ready for sea. All
the French naval officers on leave of
absence have ben ordered to return to
their vessels.
The naval authorities at Toulon are
very reticant. A dispatch to the Petit
Parisen from Toulon confirms the re-
ports of the Echo de Paris and says
the greatest activity prevails in the
navy yard. where work is proceeding
with feverish speed day and night.

HAVE COME DOWN.
Spanish Peace Commissioners Are Coming ia
Americans Terms.

Paris. Oct. 19.-The Spanish peace
commission was unable to meet the
United States peace commission at the
join session arranged, for today, and
the next meeting of the two commits
sions has been fixed for Friday next.
Judge Day. president of the American
commission. received communication,
this morning, from Senior Montero Rios,
president of the Spanish commission,
saying that advices expected from
Madrid made it necessary for him and
his colleagues to request a postpone
ment of any further conferences until
Friday next. A courteous reply was
returned by Secretary Moore, granting
the extension of time.
While the deferring of any one con-
ference for two days is not in itself an
important request. the delay by the
Spaniards at this juncture is something
more than significant. The game of
diplomacy now progressing here has
reached a stage which makes it neces-
sary that the next move be made by
the Spanish commissioners. They are
confronted by the plain fact of their
protocol agreement to relinquish and
evacuate Cuba without ifs" lands"
or butts
1t has become clear here that the
Spanish cherished the hope that they
could Internationally covenant to fol-
low given path and ultimately wan
der elsewhere and do less or more than
named in the protocol compact. The
American commissioners, however,
have firmly adhered to the boundary
lines already mutually established and
within which they insist the Spaniards
as well as themselves shall duly pro-
coed.
1t is not too much to say that Spain
now has more light than ever before
on the integrity and steadfastness in
word and purpose of the United States.
Nor is it wide of the fact to say that
the Spaniards are now initially appre-
ciating that the United States did not
make war on Spain to acquire Cuba as
conquest prize. OF this the Span
iards may not yet be wholly convinced,
but the firm refusal of Judge Day ami
his colleagues to assume the Cuban
