SPANIARDS ARE TREADING
ON TREACHEROUS GROUND

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Adminis-
tration officials do not share the opin-
ion expressed in some quarters that the
Paris Peace Commission will fail in its
efforts to agree upon treaty. This
opinion is not based upon any specific
information received from Paris, but
rather upon the fact that by withdraw
ing from the conference Spain has
nothing to gain and all to lose.
1t is undoubtedly true that should
the Spaniards adopt this course they
would sacrifice the indemnity this Gov
ernment is now disposed to grant, and
would also precipitate trouble for
themselves all along the line. The
United States undoubtedly would i'm
mediately take forcibIe possession of
the entire Philippine group and at
once enter upon a military and naval
campaign, which would end only upon
an unconditional surrender of what
ever territory this Government might
see fit to demand.
1t is believed that the United States
at this time would consent to a cash
payment of from 500 900. 900 to S25, 000-
900 rather than renew the war, but the
longer final settlement is delayed the
smaller will be the indemnity. In any
event, the President is not disposed to
brook unnecessary prolongation of the
negotiations and it is believed has so
indicated to our Peace Commissioners.

Harbor Commissioners Yesterday
Assigned Slip 28 to the Com
pany for Dock Purposes.
Thirty Lots on the Water Front Between

i Company slip No. 28, lying to the
east of the Main-street wharf
and west Of the space now occupied by
the two floating drydocks, as freight

the part of the commissioners means
the consummation of one of the largest
railroad deals that has taken place In
this State.
Recently the Atchison, Topeka and

road that the application was made to
the Harbor Commissioners for the priv

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-The Herald's
Washington correspondent sends the
following: Those who have been ex-
pecting President Mckinley to make
specific recommendations in his annual
message to Congress as to the future
form of government of the territory
wrested from Spain will probably be
disappointed.
The message, now well under way,
WILL 1 understand, point out that it is
too early yet to reach a decision in this
matter. The President appreciates that
Congress will desire to have a voice in
shaping the policy in regard to the fu-
ture control Of the Philippines and
Porto Rico; that congressional COM
missions will probably be appointed to
visit these new possessions and to in
vestigate and report upon the condi-
tions in each island, and he is perfectly
willing that ample time should be al
lowed for all this to be done. 1t is his
purpose to have the conquered islands
continued under strong military gov
ernment pending a definite conclusion
by the executive and Congress as to the
future of these islands. He considers
it will take at least a year to enable
the American people to determine what
our relations should be toward the new

with certain adjoining property, and de-
Sires to use the same for the handling of
both incoming and outgoing freight upon
the completion of its line to San Fran
cisco, which will be about September
next. To enable it to use this property
for the handling of loaded cars, this com
pany respectfully makes application for
an assignment from the above named
date of the slip lying to the east of Main
street wharf and west of the space now
occupied by the two floating drydocks.
We also desire to make application for
the construction of a suitable approach
and apron for the transfer of cars from
l.oats to the southern front of the prop
erty described.
We transmit herewith a sketch show
ing in a general way the arrangements
proposed, which is submitted for the con-
sideration of the board.
The officers Of this. company will wait
upon you for such further explanations as
you may desire. Very respectfully.
A. H. PAYSON,
Second Vice President
After the communication had been
read President Colnon said that the
board would be happy to comply with
the request of the Valley road, but that
as Its line would not be completed until
next September he thought some later
date would be more suitable for the
consideration of the matter. Mr. Pay

United States troops.
When sufficient progress will have
been made toward a stable government
two battalions of Cuban troops will be
the proportion to each regiment, leav-
ing only one of United States troops.
Thus the United States troops will
finally practically disappear from the
island, when it shall be deemed safe
for the purposes of American interests
and Of stable government in Cuba for
the United States troops to be gradu-
ally supplanted by native regiments.
1t is believed that the programme
outlined here, together with that for
the other islands, will call for the SER
vice of at least 100000 men.
There is reason to believe that the
President will make highly compli-
mentary references in his message to
the record-made by the navy during the
late war, and, it is expected. will briefly
state the events in which it played such
an important part. He will indorse the
recommendation of Secretary Long for
a revival of the grade of admiral for
the benefit of Rear Admiral Dewey
and 1t is expected will also urge a
strong increase of the navy along the
lines to be recommended by Secretary
Long. The Secretary has talked over
the increase feature of his report with

SYNDICATE SCHEME VIEWED
AS A SPANISH RUSE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Inquiry
has been made into the character of the
projectors of the remarkable syndicate
scheme for the purchase of the Philip
pines for the sum of S400, 900, 900. The
result has been to show that they are
irresponsible parties and it is scarcely
TO be doubted that the project has been
put forward as a means of enhancing
the price which the Spaniards may de-
mand for the relinquishment of the
Philippines. In other words, the Span
iards might claim justification for de-
manding sum as large as 5000, 900, 900
If they could point to the fact that a.
syndicate stood ready to pay double
that price for the islands.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1898-11-16

in the deal, which was made last Fri
day by Thomas Magee. The purchase
price is said to have been in the neigh
borhood of $450,000, and of this, as has
been stated, enough has been paid to
bind the option on the part of the rail-
way company.
The plan of the Santa Fe people is
a simple one. They propose to transfer
their freight cars on barges from their
terminal at Point Richmond and the
new wharf. Tugboats will be used for
this purpose. This is set forth in the
letter to the commissioners as the re-
quest is made to be allowed to build
suitable approach and apron for the
transfer of the cars. It is understood
that the option obtained some time ago
by the Valley road on the China basin
property as a result of this new deal
will be abandoned.
The cost to the State of partially fill
ing in slip No. % for the use of the
Santa Fe people will be about $780, ,000
and this work will be commenced next
June, so that it will be ready by the
time the railway completes it's line.
The Santa Fe Company will spend
many thousands of dollars in building
their terminal They will put in a
double line of tracks running from the
bridge of the slip to their yards, where
will be innumerable tracks for the ac
commodation of the cars.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1898-11-16

granted but that inasmuch as 1t con-
templated a large purchase of water
front property he would prefer that the
commissioners should take some formal
action Immediately. President Colnon
readily acceded to this and on a mo-
ton of Mr.. Harvey the request as en-
bodied in the letter of the railway COM
pany was unanimously granted.
Behind this simple transaction there
is story of real estate purchase and
of increased business for the city that
has quietly assumed large and sub
stantial proportions. The Santa Fe
people have virtually purchased thirty
lots on the water front between Spear
and Main streets as the site for the
terminal to their line. While the for
NAL transfer of the property has not
taken place sufficient amount of the
purchase price has been paid to bind
the transaction. Twenty-four of the
lots are contained in block 32S bounded
by Spear, Main. Harrison and Bryant
streets. The remainder of the lots ad-
join this block. The latter is now oc-
cupied by Haslett G. Bailey's Hatha-
way warehouses and has an area of
550x275 feet. William Martin and John
Ballard, wellknown capitalists, are the
owners of the property.

PROMINENT MASONS

bury Masons, was called to the attention
of DR.. Rocker, Secretary of the Legation
this evening.
I'VE have received no information about
these reports said DR.. Rocker ''All we
know about them is what we have seen
in the newspapers. Even if Father Eur
cher's book had been condemned, we
would have no official knowledge about it.
In such case Father Zurcher would be no
titled of the papal decree. I believe q
priest whose book is condemned is given
year in which to submit whatever he
wishes to say. about it and to destroy
copies of the book he is able to secure
from circulation. A priest, before print
ing book, must submit it to the bishop
of the diocese in which it is to be printed
and must have the imprimature of the
bishop.

possessions That the islands may be
kept out of politics as much as posi-
BILE it is his purpose to have all Islands
governed by military forces and with
this idea in view army officers viii be
assigned to perform all civil as well
as military functions.
The President will not recommend
any legislation affecting the tariff and
currency systems Of Cuba, Porto Rico
or the Philippines. 1t is the present
purpose of the administration to allow
these recent possessions of Spain to re-
main under military control for at least
a year, during which time the relations
which the islands are to bear to the
United States can be settled and all
their needs and conditions carefully
considered.
It is said that in the meantime there
will be no changes in regard to cur
rency or tariffs, for while the newly
acquired territorv is under military
control. the President, as commander
in-chief of the army and navy, is an
absolute autocrat, and by military or
derS can institute new financial and
revenue systems at will. BY this course
the administration will keep the sub
ject of currency and bank reform be-
fore the country until the first meet
ing of the Fifty-sixth Congress, with
it's Republican majority in both houses,
when the task of correcting the evils
of the present monetary system will be
taken up in earnest.
Reventie revision is not to be recon-
mended to Congress by the President
or the Secretary of the Treasury. The
expenditures of the Government are
now far in excess Of the receipts, and
will probably continue to be so for some
time. even after the formal conclusion
of peace with Spain. Secretary Gage
will advise some minor amendments to
the war revenue law, chiefly of an ad-
ministrative character, but the whole
subject of revision Of the currency to
conform to the changed situation OF the
country will be left for the next Con-
gress, when it will be more definitely
known what the situation will be.
The army reorganization will con-
template at least 100000 men. There
is no reason to believe that any recon-
mendation will be made as to diff
ferent basis of organization, that in
force now being considered compact
and complete and satisfactory. But a
departure will be made as relates to
what is recommended touching the
army in Cuba and the use to be made
of the native army, with a gradual ad-
mixture of Cuban troops with United
States troops. This will involve, ac
cording to the recommendation, the or
ganization of regiment on the island
on a basis at first of one battalion of
Cuban troops to two battalions OF

SCHLEY Is IMPRESSED
WITH PORTO RICO
Rear Admiral Thinks the Future Has
Great Things in Store for
fba Island

WASHINGTON, Nov Is. - Admiral
Schley, who is in Washington, said to The
Call correspondent to-day:
Il am greatly impressed with Porto
Rico. I think it has. under the domina-
ton of the United States, a brilliant fu-
ture. OF course the industries of the ISL
and are not developed as fully as they
would be under our system of govern
ment and with our energy. 1t will be nee
essary first to educate the people to the
new regime, for the reason that 400 years
of Spanish domination have established
not only the customs, but the language
and methods of the political government
which are largely at variance with our
system Of government 1t is the contrast
of day and night. Much is to be said
however, in favor of the people of Porto
Rico. They are peaceable and gentle and
entirely unaccustomed to war, and think
could be easily nodded to our way of do
ing things. There was a very marked
feeling of qualification plainly visible
among the native Porto Ricans at the
evacuation OF the Spanish army.
Il think Porto Rlcans, having enjoyed
longer period of freedom from devastat-
ing wars, are IN much better condition for
progress than the Cubans. The former
will yield much more readily to the new
order Of things than the latter conclud-
ed the Admiral
