Washington, Nov. q. A specfal
meeting of the cabinet was held at 10
o'clock last night. All the members
We're with the president except Secre.
tary Long, who is out of the city. The
meeting was called by the president
in order that his advisers might con-
slider with him advices received from
the American peace commissioners at
Paris. 1t is understood that the adj
vices related to counter proposals in
formally made to the American COM
missioners by the representatives on
the commission of the Madrid govern
ment. At the conclusion of the meet
ing. which lasted only forty minutes,
ana was held in the parlor of the
White House, Secretary of State Hay
sald to representative of the Asso-
ciated Press that the president had re-
ceived some advices from Paris which
he desired to lay before the cabinet.
and that he had called the members
together to consider them. The ma
ture of the advices Mr. Hay declined
to discuss, as, he said. that was mat
ter which could not be gone into for
publication at this time. He added,
however, that after considering the
contents of the dispatches the presi-
dent had cabled the American CON-
missioners reiterating his former in
structions. 1t is understood that one
point. new to the negotiations thus far,
was raised in yesterdays ccmmunica-
ton by the Spaniards. 1t related to q
modification of the terms of the prop
osition submitted to the Spanish COM
missioners a few days ago by the
American commissioners, but in just
what particular the proposed modifi-
cation was to be made could rot be
ascertained. That the proposition was
not accepted was made clear by the
president in cabling to the American
commissioners a reiteration of his
former instructions. The American
commissioners will insist that the de-
mands of the United States as present.
ed to Spain few days ago be consid-
cred without further modification.
That they will be acceded to by Spain
is the earnest belief Of the cabinet and
the president.

Those who talk volubly upon their
joys and their griefs are not generally
those who are capable of the profound
est happiness or the most intense suf-
fering. Those who can put into ready
words the sanctities of love, and fluent
ly express all it's hopes and fears, have
seldom penetrated to it's depths. Those
who utter glibly and unrestrainedly all
their upward strivings, their senti-
ments of contrition, their feelings of
reverence, their desire for worship, are
not usually the most truly religious
or devout. For all that is highest,
deepest, and most profound in human
nature silence is a better exponent
than speech. Not only is language in
adequate to convey the truth of such
things, but they are themselves drawn
down from their high estate by being
made subjects of ordinary conversa-
ton. Reticence on such matters is
both salutary and becoming.

San Francisco, Nov. 27.-George La
vigne gained the decision over Tom
Tracy at the end of u twenty round
fight at 142 pounds or under. The
fighting was clever and interesting
throughout, but lacked the execute
ment which usually accompanies a
contest between two such opponents of
pugilism. Lavigne did decidedly the
main work, being aggressive in every
round, forcing Tracy about the ring
and compelling him to use all his clev-
erness and stiffness of foot to avoid
the little champions rushes. Tracey
did not seem to be at all chagrined
over the adverse decision and took it
all good naturally. Probably 5000
people We're present.

Paris, Nov. GIT is now known that
Spain will exhaust her time limit.
which expires on Monday, before re-
plying to the American offer regarding
the Philippine islands. In the mean
while the Spaniards are canvassing the
entire field and eXhausting every re-
source to postpone the inevitable. AS
cabled by the Associated Press on
Wednesday, they could not accept the
American ultimatum as final without
asking If it We're really so. That aD-
piled to the time limit. Now, the Span
iards apparently doubt the fiXedness Of
the amount the Americans offered for
the Philippines, and yesterday they
sent a communication to the American
commissioners asking if the latter
would accept a counter proposal by
Spain to cede the Philippines for $780,
100000. Spain imagines the Ameri-
cans might be willing to lop off the
great island of Mindanao from the
Philippines and pay Spain $5O.OOO,OOO
for what would remain instead of $780,
100000 now offered for the entire
archipelago. Spain will learn in re-
Spouse to such inquiry that Americans
employ the word ultimatum to signify
ultimate conditions.
However strenuously Spain may
seek to increase her money advantages
for the cession of the Philippines, she
will finally be compelled to know that
the United States offer means S2O,OOO,-
600, no more and no less. and that the
whole archipelago must pass to the
United States for that sum. Spain, be-
fore giving up or turning away, will
also propose some alternative bargain
OF the Carolines or the Canary islands
to be held in possession of the United
States in addition to the Philippine
islands on condition that Spain should
be permitted to retain her sovereignty
in the Philippines. In other words,
Spain would cede certain territory in
the Carolines and Canaries and the
control of the Philippines by the Unit
ed States under a nominal Spanish
sovereignty, and, as a further induce
ment, propose that the United States
shall pay Spain no money on account
Of the Philippine islands.
Senior Rios told the correspondent Of
the Associated Press that the Spanish
peace commissioners had not vet de-
cided upon the answer to be given to

are considering the NATTER he said,
'in a conciliatory spirit, and are
anxious to re-establish friendly rela-
tons 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 de-
cided to accept the American offer of
$20O00,OO0 for the Philippines, Senior
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 conference on Monday, when
we will discuss the matter with the
Americans. At the same time,' he
added, in a still lower voice, 1--WE will
follow the instructions that may be re-
ceived from Madrid"

How preposterous is the conduct of
men! They refuse the just tribute of
praise to their contemporaries amongst
whom they live, and yet are extremely
ambitious of the esteem of posterity,
whom they will never see.
