NOT DISCOURAGED
Washington Officials Are Not Particu-
larly impatient

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Whie it is be-
ginning to be recognized that the chances
are against the conclusion of the work of
the Peace Commissioners in Paris in time
for the Americans to take the steamer of
the 10th for home, the officials are not dis
couraged at the outlook, knowing that the
delay in the proceedings of the commission
admits of reasonable explanation of some
points. For instance. there has been some
difficulty in reaching an agreement as to the
disposition of the property in the Philip
pines, including war material, guns and
stores. 1t seems, however, likely that the
commissions will agree to adopt a plan for
the disposition of these claims based upon
the procedure that governed in the case OF
the Spanish properties in Porto Rico. 1t
will not be necessary, it is hoped, to send
a joint evacuation commission to Manila,
as was done in the evacuation of Porto Rico,
but simply to adopt the plan. laid down by
the Porto Rican commission. 1t is surmised
that the American commissioners have been
much more concerned by Spanish overtures
looking to the allowance of exceptional ad-
vantages for Spanish commerce with Cuba
and Porto Rico than about other matters
of negotiation, which really seemed to be of
larger importance. The explanation of this
is the realization of the present commission
ers that any agreement on their part to
concede such special advantages might not
only arouse the opposition of the commercial
classes of the United States, but bring
upon the United States government a series
of demands from the great commercial ma
tions of the world with which we have treaty
relations, for the allowance of similar con-
cessions, under the operation of what is
known as the most favored nation clause in
those treaties. Much of the feeling exhibited
by the German press towards the United
States government was directly traceable to
a denial by the State Department of just
such claim preferred by Germany to be ex-
cepted from the operations of the counter

er King Arthur, Captain Hendrck, from

Watching the Carlists

MADRID, Dec. 3.-Additional precau-

against the Carlists in the provinces, notably
in Saragossa and Biscay.
The impartial today, commenting upon
the statement that the Unied States in.
tends to fully re-establsh relations with
Spain, asks if the United States proposes to
send new ultimatum imposing friendship.
After today's cabinet meeting, Duke AL
modovar de Rios, minister of foreign af-
fairs, stated that he did not believe the
treaty of peace between the United States
and Spain would be signed by the meeting of
the American congress. Several points, he
said, were unsettled and new instructions
will be telegraphed to Senior Montero Rios,
president OF the Spanish commission, to-
morrow.
The cabinet discussed the suppression of
the ministry of the colonies, which matter
will probably be referred to the cortes.

Now at San Quentin and AWAITING

shire House, in aid of the Spanish suffer
ers by the war, has been brilliant success
It was opened by Princess Henry of Batter
berg and dazzling array of duchesses and
countesses kept the stalls. The princess
herself did a brisk trade in Span
ish guitars, fans. etc., and she also bought
a number of articles, including a watercolor
BY Garcia Mercia, representing Spanish
gypsy, in behalf of the Queen.
Several of the contributions were pre-
senteG by the Pope, the Queen Regent of
Spain, ex-Queen Isabella of Spain, the Queen
of Servia and the Princess Ludwig of Ba-
vara. They fetched high prices.
The young King of Spain has just had a
very pleasant windfall in the shape of a
legacy of 100000 pesetas, bequeathed to
him by an old gentleman named Soler who
had close, though unacknowledged rela-
tionship of the king, being the natural son
Of Ferdinand VIII and great uncle of King
Alfonso. The testator's relatives opposed
the will, but the queen regent, as her son S
nearest friend, supported it, and the suit
has now been decided in favor of the king
NAVAL COURTESIES
A newspaper of Portsmouth, England,
which cabled Secretary Long, asking for in
formation regarding the current report that
an American squadron is to visit Ports
mouth, received reply yesterday in which
the secretary said:
Il have to say at present that the date
of the formation of European squadron is
undecided. When this action is taken it
will be made public. Thanking you for your
assurance of hearty welcome to the United
States, etc."
People here deduce from this reply that
an American squadron will be sent to Eu-
rope and that Portsmouth will be visited.
IT NEVER DOOMED
An insight into the seamy side of the
Klomdke boom was given by the chairman
ut meeting of the Klondike Hydraulic com
pany called to receive the report of it's en-
gineer's visit to the Klondike to investigate
the statements of the vendor The chairman
said:
"The vendor first tried to get f36,OOO
and then 100000 for the purpose of piping,
ETC., but the chairman went to San Francisco
to investigate the matter, and found the
vendors statement was false, whereupon he
withheld the money"
The engineer also reported that the ven
doris mine on the Black river was a myth;
that the location notices were forgeries and
that he was satisfied that the vendor had
never seen Alaska. Therefore, the chair
man pointed out that the only course was to
wind up the company, the shareholders es-
Gaping with the loss of only two shillings
