EUROPE
MAPPING
McKinley's Proposal For Joint
Commission
To Settle the Philippines Ques-
tiOn With Spain
SURPRISES POWERS
They Expected to Have a Voice
in the Negotiations
If Surrender of the Islands Had
Been Demanded.

New York, Aug. IA dispatch to the
World from Madrid says: President
Mckinley has stolen a march on the
powers of Europe in the making of
peace. His reported leaving of the
Philippines question to future settle
ment between Spain and the United
States alone spoiIs a cleverly concocted
scheme. Behind Spain's diplomatic
maneuver to draw the United States
out on this question of conditions, the
continental governments had spread
snare.
Jealous of her political and CONNER
ciaI influence, the old world powers, in
stigated by Russia and abetted by
France and Germany, sought to coax
America from the isolated position
which is her principal strength and to
cOerce her into acting in concert with
them.
The serious international aspect of the
settlement of the disputes between
Spain and the United States must be
borne in mind if the conduct of the
Spanish government is to be under
stood at all. Spain knew the game was
up for her in the West Indies and that
she could not expect even pIatOnic, much
less material assistance to retain any
of her possessions there. But she re-
ceived positive assurance of aid in the
settlement of the question of the Philip
pine islands.
From the very first Russia has view
ed with the utmost displeasure Amer
ica's success at Manila. She is as much
opposed as Germany is to an American
prOtectOrate or naval or cOaling stations
in the Spanish archipelago So Russia,
prompted the attitude of France in that
regard with the entire approval of Ger
many. Spain had also received assur-
ances that France. Russia and the
triple alliance would not tolerate an ac-
tive war policy of the United States in
the Mediterranean sea or along the
coasts of the Spanish peninsula or Mo
rocco, should the war be prolonged
All this determined the Madrid cab
met to make peace Overtures with a
view to coming to an understanding
with the United States if President Nc
Kinley should not insist upon too great
concessions in the Philippines. But if
American demands in the far east shall
be considered excessive Premier Sagas-
and await the developments and COM
plications in which he had been led to
expect European support.
The underlying effect of all this finesse
was to make the question of the Philip
pines and the limitation of the Ameri-
can sphere of influence in Oceanica one
OF many international points that could
not be settled except by conference Of
the powers.
But most Spaniards accept as inevit-
able the details which the press pub
lished relative to the American peace
conditions. So convinced is everybody
that the two governments will come to
an understanding that few papers, and
they but feebly, attempt to keep up a
warlike spirit by opposing some of the
points laid down in the American reply.
Even the Madrid papers point out that
it is evident that President Mckinley
will not permit interference like that
which curtailed Japan's victory over
China.

A Revelation to Europe.

New York, Aug. IA dispatch to the
World from Paris says: Henri Brisson,
the premier of France, said to the
World correspondent:
'fThe course of the United States
throughout the war with Spain, has
been noble. It has been a revelation to
Europe.
conditions of peace are known the
world will be astOniShed. I expect that
the United States will take pride in
showing greater moderation than any
of the old world powers would display
under similar circumstances.
Europe has no right whatever to
meddle in the negotiations My govern
ment. at least, will not attempt to die
tate what the United States shall de-
mand. Other powers may try to make
Spain's loss as light as possible, but all
such representations will be guarded
and friendly I feel assured there will
be no concerted action by Europe tow
ard forcing upon the United States any
settlement not fully satisfactory.
L think the United States may be
trusted to arrange the future of Cuba
for the best"
The World correspondent learns from
the French foreign ministry that Amer
ica's reply to Spain's approaches must
pass through the hands of the French
minister of foreign affairs, who will
forward it to Madrid. But that reply
is not expected before Tuesday.
The World correspondent learns furth-
er that an armistice is expected, but
not until there is a reasonable prospect
of a successful issue of the peace nego-
tiations.

FRANCES DISGRACE
Paris Dumb at the Persecu-
ton Of Col. Picquart.,
To Be CourtmartiaIed that His Drey'
fus Evidence May Be Attacked.
Freycinct Accused Of Allowing II TO Further
Presidential Aspirations.

Paris, Nov. 25.--Senor Montero Rios,
told the correspondent of The Asso-
ciated Press, this evening, that the
Spanish peace commissioners had not
yet decided upon the answer to be Civ
en- to the last American memorandum.
I'VE are considering the matter" he
said. "in conciliatory spirit and are
anxious to re-establish friendly rela-
tions between the two countries. AT
the same time we are here to defend
the interests and honor of SPAIN"
In reply to an inquiry as to whether
there was any truth In the report that
the Spanish commissioners had decided
to accept the American offer of $780,
100000 for the Philippines. Senior Mon
tero Rios shaking his head said: mo
no, the commission has not yet decided
on it's answer. What our reply will be
can only be determined at the confer
ence, Monday. when we will discuss
the matter with the Americans. Al
the same time he added in a still
lower voice, 1--WE will follow the in

CONSIDERING THE EVIDENCE.
Attorney General Hsines to Pass Upon tn,
Bucksport Ware Murder.

Bucksport, Me-, Nov. 25.-The inves-
tigation in the Ware murder case by
the detectives is suspended, pending
report of the accumulated evidence
now being considered by County At
torney Bunker. The evidence has come
from citizens who voluntarily made in
curry into Mrs. Wares death, and by
the detectives at work from time to
time. 1t tends to implicate a resident
of this neighborhood in the crms, and
he from time to time has asked
for continued inquiry. This fact has
tended to make the townspeople eager
to find the murderer and has been the
chief factor in raising a fund to pay
for detectives.
The county attorney will submit the
evidence to the attorney general and an
opinion will be expressed, early next
week. The town officers are quite GER
tain that one or more arrests are likely
to follow. If Attorney General Haines
deems the evidence is insufficient the
town and county committee will ex-
pend the remaining $500 in continuing
the search.

personal feeling has arisen to mar the
glorious victories and magnificent work
of the service.

SPANS ANSWER
Agreed Upon and Probably Now in the Com.
missioners' Hands.

Madrid, Nov. 25.-After visiting the
Queen Regent, today in order to con-
dole with Her Majesty on the anniver-
sary of the death of her husband, King
Alfonzo Kill, who died on Nov %,
1885, the ministers met in council
They were occupied exclusively with
the consideration of the peace question.
Eventually the ministers unanimously
approved the instructions to Senior
Rios, drawn up by the foreign and
colonial ministers, which will be tele-
graphed to Paris, tonight.
While the cabinet ministers were
most reserved regarding the instruc-
tions sent to the Spanish commissions
ers. it is believed the Philippine ques-
ton will be settled on Monday next.
The premier, Senior Sagasta, was ask
ed if Mondays session would see the
close of the Paris conference and the
signature of the treaty, he replied:
Who knows? Maybe a fresh Incl
dent will arise or further consulta tions
or exchanges of views will be neces-
Sary.
