The meeting at the wigwam last night
gave the final lie to the sneer from the Re-
publican camp, that the Silver Republican
party is dead Early in the evening large
crowd began to gather in the great tent, and
when Chairman r. H. Hewitt of the county
central committee raped for order every
seat was taken, many were standing, and
many more could not gain entrance; It
soon became evident, moreover, that it
was no idle Of mob of time-killers attracted
| by the recognized ability of the speakers ad-
vertsed, but that it was an earnest, enthusi-
astic body of Silver Republicans, there for
the purpose of proving their loyalty to prln-
ciples and party.
Col. Hewitt introduced Nathan Cole, ir.,
as chairman of the evening, who made few
pertinent Introductory remarks, dwelling
upon the necessity Of volunteer service with
carriages and other aid upon election day.
| Mr.. Cole, after further referring to the evi-
dent liveliness of the party, announced that
quartet from the famous Troop d of Pasa-
dena would sing. The colored brethren
took the platform and rendered in manner
parody on the Hello, Central" song given
at Republican meeting at Pasadena not
| long since. The words were as follows:
Hello Central! Sacramento, II you please.
Tell 'em to get ready for
| The Democrat nominees.
Gage is out Tor governor,
| And Mcguire is there as well.
| Wait till the 8th of November,
And Maguire'll give him
| Hello, Central! etc.
| Judge J. Noonan Phillips was introduced,
| but he made no speek, making instead a
| forcible appeal for funds. A collection was
taken, amounting to over $40.
| MR.. HOWARD'S SPEECH
| Then came the address of the evening.
Many in the audience, well qualified to
Judge, did not hesitate to say that it was
the greatest speech of the campaign. Ger
tain it is that Mr.. Howard's impressive elo-
quence aroused an answering fire in the soul
of every one of his hearers, while his search
ing sarcasm and frank fearlessness Of state
| ment proclaimed him a man true to his
best convictions At frequent places
throughout the address he was compelled to
stop for ringing cheers and applause, and
when he repeated his laconic reply to par
ties who attempted to dictate his vote, in
cidentally telling of his personal admiration
of William Jennings Bryan, the audience
burst all formal bonds and gave three rous
ing cheers for Mr.. Bryan, quickly followed
by three equally enthusiastic ones for the
speaker himself.
REV. HOWARD'S ADDRESS
Mr.. Chairman and Fellow Citizens: A
wise man, who died more than 1000 years
ago, wrote in book of proverbs, "There is

Associated Press Special Wire


WASHINGTON, Nov. 5-The reports
the state department has received from the
peace commissioners in Paris Indicate that
that body has proceeded in exactly the line
anticipated, consequently the action OF yes
terday was not disappointment. 1t was
fully expected that the Spanish commis-
sioners would endeavor to make better
terms than those offered by the American
commissioners. 1t was not expected that
they would close with the American propo-
sition While they have not, IN exact terms'
submitted counter proposition, the span
iards, by entering upon the argument oi liie
American proposition, have shown a dls-
nosition to negotiate relative to the Phll-
innines that has shown to be erroneous the
nrediction that they would Indignantly
spurn any proposition that contemplated
the REIMBURSEMENT OF Spanish sovereignty
over the archipelago.
A COMPROMISE POSSIBLE
II is unite probable the way is now open
to n compromise between the two sides,
and that a monetary difference Will be
found to be the only one OF substance. W
about $l50,000,000 at stake In the issue as
10 bond obligations and cash compensation,
Il ;s fair to suppose that the controversy
will not be speedily terminated.
n is freely admitted here that the pre-
sentation of the Spanish objections to the
last proposition yesterday was admirable
in many respects and evidenced the pos
session of keen legal talent by the Spanish
side. Yet the objections and points made
were not new and, in most cases, were taken
into consideration by the persons who made
nm the United States case before leaving
Washington and were duly prepared for.
SPANS STRONG POINT
The strongest point made by the Spanish
side relates to the taking OF Manila two
days after the signing OF the protocol IN
Washington, on which they base their as
sumption that the United States was not III
possession of any part OF the Philippine
outside of the insignificant station at Ca
vite at the time hostilities ceased, and were
estopped legally from extending our pos
sessions, But as against this contention, 1t
can be shown by the Americans that, re-
cardless of the exact date OF the surrender
Of Manila Admiral Dewey, afloat, lay Tor
two months before the city, while for most
of the time the United States troops were
ashore near the Spanish positions and that
the town might have been taken at any mo-
ment during that period. The only re-
straining influence was desire to make
sure before taking possession that the hves
and property of the inhabitants OF the CITY
should be safeguarded to the utmost, and,
in reality the American forces were as
much in possession of the place then as now.
THE REBUTTAL READY
This is only one illustration of the argu-
ments that have been prepared to rebut the
Spanish contentious and it may be stated
that there are many other strong points
in reserve.

Camps in Cuba

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says
The Army Investigation Commission will
soon go to Santiago and, very probably,
though not certainly, to Porto Rico. This
is according to the announcement made sew
eral weeks ago. They met no opposition on
the part of the President, who was under
stood to acquiesce perfectly in the decision
Of the commission. As much information
as possible will be gathered, and it is belev-
ed that the evidence to be taken subsequent
ly will then be better understood. The
time of going has not yet been decided upon
Information from a member of the COM
mission is that the reports from heads of
staff departments will be first read.
General Corbin's report has not yet been
received and it contains over 10000 words.
Then other reports will be read, after
which the commission will hold sessions in
New York. 1t is not probable that the
commission will go to Santiago until after
the New York sessions

world would be on the side of Spain, brutally
ground down by the enemy"
The government of Germany and the semi
official newspapers have been silent or ex-
tremely cautious. But it is quite evident
that Germany will not interfere in the set
tlement of the Philippine question, nor even
encourage interference upon the. part OF
others, and is understood this has been
ntimated to the Spanish government.
All Clerks at Work
The entire clerical force Of the American
commission was busy the greater part of last
night in handling the Spanish presentment,
and the counsel to the commissioners at
the same time examined it with view to
today's private session of the American COM
mission for the formulation of response.
1t may again be asserted on the highest
authority-as bearing on the Spanish argu-
ment-that when the protocol was signed
there was no understanding, verbal or other
wise, which the protocol does not show
forth. Nor have the American commission
ers at any time, on the other hand, held or
believed that the protocol determined any
thing against Spain's sovereignty in the
Philippines. The American representatives
have, however, held and doubtless will hold
that the protocol meant to provide and does
provide for a decision by the Paris confer
ence regarding the ownership of the Phil
ippines.
In this connection, too, the Americans
will undoubtedly cite the fact that originally
the protocol contained the word possess"
instead of disposition" the latter having
been substituted at NJ. Cambon's request
and in Difference to Spanish sensiblities.
The original reading will unquestionably be
recurred to now as indicating the mental at
titude of the American signers of the proto-
col toward American possession of the Phil
ippines This line of reasoning naturally
will include the question of the precedent
which the Spaniards say was created by the
refusal OF the United States to consider the
Cuban debt, because it was not mentioned
N the protocol 1t is possible that the Am
erican commissioners may finally concur
with the Spanish contention that the capi-
tulation of Manila, coming after the sign
ing of the protocol, was invalid
In that event, the Americans may cite,
as an offset to the tariff duties collected,
their own expenditures in administering the
government of Manila and enforcing order
They may also ask if Spain wishes the in
surgent Gordon of the city and the insurge mt
control of the water works re-established
as a step toward the restoration of the sta
tus quo which, the Spaniards declare, was
broken by the Americans.
Finally, Spain may be asked to consider
whether instead of being prisoners of the
United States, the Spanish troops at Ma
Mia were not more exactly refugees within
American protection. But, however the
contentious may result, there are at present
no indications of rupture

The French View

PARIS, Nov. 5-Referring to the peace
negotiations between Spain and the United
States, the Gaulois today says:
"The memorandum of the Spanish COM
missioners extended to forty pages OF closely
written matter and included an objection to
the surrender of Manila on the plea that
it took place forty-eight hours after the
signing of the peace prehminaries. There
was also reassertion that the continued
sovereignty of Spain over the Philippines
was evidenced by the fact that this sover-
eighty has been referred to by the French
ambassador at Washington on the eve OF the
signing of the peace protocol and was not
objected to by the American diplomats.
Continuing, the Gauiois says: "On the
whole. the attitude of the Americans has
been encouraging to the Spaniards and it Is
likely that an agreement will be arrived at
after the election in the United States, wien
the Republicans will show themselves less
exacting, being relieved of electoral exig-
A FINANCIAL QUESTION.
The facts all point to this conclusion and
Indicate that the negotiations will resolve
themselves into simple financial discus
sion. 1t is hardly to be supposed that
America will restore the Philippines, as
those islands represent substitute for a
war war indemnity, which America would be
justified in demanding. Moreover, it must
be remembered, the Americans have GER
tain moral obligations to discharge in re-
gard to the insurgents. Having encouraged
Aguinaldo in his operations, they are, to
some extent, obliged to see that the insur-
gents are definitely released from Spanish
domination.
INTERVENTION UNLIKELY
Gas to Intervention on the part of Europe,
such contingency can only be imagined
in case of there being clear proof that Spain
and America were not alone interested in
the matter. 1t remains to be seen whether
the other powers, and Japan, notably, will,
without protest, see the newcomer in the far
east install herself in SO important an econ
omic and strategic point"
The Matin says: 'The point of the Span
iards is well taken. The Paris conference
was to confine itself to a single object es-
tablishing an agreement on tha points of
detail summarized generally in the Wash
ington protocol. The Spaniariis have kept
loyalty to the agreement and have not hag-
gled in their engagement. The United
States, on the other hand, has insisted on
submitting propositions altogether outside
the lines of the protocol, notably with re-
gard to the Philippines"
