CEUTA NOT SOUGHT.
The statement that Spain has re-

accurate. The United States govern

and would hesitate very long before
entering upon the turbulent field of
activities involved in the ACQUISITION
of territory in the neighborhood of the
Mediterranean.

KNOTTY PROBLEM.
Expansion Is Beginning to Bear
Some Bitter Fruit.

some Hitter Fruit.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The United
States government Is being called upon
to face some Questions of interest re-
suiting from the expansion policy The
British government, sometime before
the annexation of Hawaii to the Unit
ed States, filed with Hawaii number
Of claims for redress for the Ill treat
ment and Illegal confinement of Brit
tsh subjects, involved in the revolu-
tionary movement which overthrew the
queen. These amount to several hun
dred thousand dollars, In the aggregate,
and the question is, the Hawaiian gov
ernment having failed to settle them,
whether the United States government
does not inherit liability,
The claims are just such as were fill
ed by the late Secretary Gresham
against the Hawaiian government In
behalf of number Of alleged Ameri-
can citizens, most of when afterwards
turned out to be aliens. None of our
claims were pressed, but they formed
the foundation for the British claims.
Another question OF more importance
ts the determination Of the status Of
9NAAAS Va OOA newly dCqu1TSo CtNZeHS OF
subjects. Already a Chinaman by birth
and a Filipino by citizenship has ap-
piled for citizenship as an American
citizen. Another Chinanan in Hawaii
wants a passport, showing he is a citi-
zen of the United States. The annexa-
ton law prohibits the coming into the
United States of Chinese from Hawaii.
but the constitutionality of any act
that proposes discrimination among
American citizens has been raised, and
this Chinaman is citizen by adoption.
These are a few of the questions that
have already arisen, and others are ex-
pected to follow in the near future.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Dec. 2-The
opening of the recently organized SUI
preme court this morning was an i'm
pressive ceremony. Chief Justice Eche-
varria and the associate justices, prior
to the opening, called at the palace,
where they were received by Gen.
Leonard Wood, after which, with Gen.
Wood and his aides, Mr.. Robert Por-
ter and others, they were driven to
the supreme court chamber. Here the
judges dOnned their robes Of office,
long silk gowns, trimmed with white
lace, and, accompanied by the attor-
neys practicing IN the court, who were
similarly dressed, formed in process
sicn and passed into the court room,
the chief justice escorting Gen. Wood.
The procession having divided into
semi-circIes, Gen. Wood, in a few tact
full and forceful words, opened the pro-
ceedings, delivering the court, in the
name of the United States government,
to the chief justice and his associates,
and demanding from the public i'm
plictt obedience to the courts decision
and DEGREES. His speech was translat-
ed into Spanish by Capt. Mendoza.
cepted the judicial offices in the name
of justice, formally recognizing the
United States as the supreme power,
and declaring that the bench would
render justice to rich and poor alike.
The proceedings terminated with
handshakings, after which Gen. Woods
party was escorted to the entrance by
the entire legal body. The first ses-
sion Of the first purely Cuban court
was then opened.
Among Cubans -the event is a mat
ter for general congratulation. The
local newspapers consider it the dawn
Of a new era, and express the hope that
the judges, who are men Of legal acu
men and profound research, may be
able to show the world that the Cuban
population has within itself the ele-
ments of good government.
The same papers are exceedingly
complimentary in their illusions to
sibIe that any other American could
have secured a better grasp Of the en-
tire situation"
Col Valient, who has been appointed
chief the gendarmerie, made record
first to order his men to lay down their
arms after the American occupation,
and he showed his willingness in every
way to cooperate with the United
States military authorities. He is ex-
ceedingly popular in the province, very
energetic and, although a comparative
ly young man, widely experienced. His
appointment is much applauded- .
On Monday $50 men will begin to
build the road to Holguin. The dis
tance, making allowances for neces-
sary deviation, is seventy-flve miles.
Gen. Wood is determined to facilitate
the means Of Intercommunication from
the towns in this end Of the island, and
on the same day 100 men will begin q
road to Guantanamo. In this case a
distance of forty miles must be COW
cred. When the funds will allow a
road will be started to Manzanillo.
These highways, once completed, will
be Of inestimable value for military and
commercial purposes.

release of the Spanish prisoners held
by Aguinaldo, and to this matter at
tention Is being devoted here. There
has been an almost daily dispatch
from Gen. Otis announcing the arrival
of a transport there loaded with Unit
ed States troops, and the war DEPART
ment is fairly confident of it's ability
now to undertake the fun control of
the islands, with the assistance of the
naval contingent under Admiral Dew
ey. 1t is realized that the task of in
ducing Aguinaldo to surrender the
captives, for whom he has demanded
such an extravagant ransom-$1, ,500,-
000-under penalty Of cutting their
throats, is going to be difficult one,
but, after all, the United States COM
missioners in Paris have only under
taken that the United States govern
ment shall use its best efforts to secure
the release of the prisoners; they have
not pledged the government to per-
form the impossible.
SPANIARDs ARE CUNNING.
PARIS, Dec. 2.-Today's session of
the peace commission was a repetition
virtually Of several earlier meetings,

taking wide range, the Spaniards
were pressed for definite statements.
they pleaded that they had not receiy-
ed instructions from Madrid There
upon the Americans declared, in diplo-
matte phraseology, that 1t was useless
to waste time in debate with men who
were not empowered to make bar
gains. Although adjournment was
taken until tomorrow, it is probable
there will be a further postponement
until Monday.
The SpaniardS' version of today's
session is that they asked to have the
treaty concluded first and then the
minor matters discussed. According
to reports from American sources, the
Spanish commissioners endeavored to
draw hints as to how far the Ameri-
cans were willing to compromise the
demands under discussion without dis
closing what concessions Spain was
willing to make. AS the negotiations
proceed, the prospects Of consuming
much time increase. Several very i'm
portant propositions, presenting many
phases, invite discussion and must af-
terwards be embodied in the agree
ments. This task Of embodying may
be long drawn out, every word and
comma requiring consideration.
LAUDABLE DESIRES.
On the questions yet unsettled, which
do not concern territorial or financial
interests, both committees display
laudable anxiety to promote the well
fare Of the inhabitants involved. An
American commissioner remarked to
the correspondent of the Associated
Press:
eve realize that these peoples are
to become our subjects, and we de-
sire to secure for them all their rights
and privileges. We keep in mind the
interests of Spanish citizens in the ter
rtories changing hands, as well as 9TH
ers.
Our Spanish friends exhibit a Will
ingness to cooperate N this work Of
guaranteeing the rights Of peoples they
are losing, a. Willingness that must
command our respect, for we realize

LONDON, Dec. 3-The Times, dis
cussing editorially this morning "the
strange and embarrassing problem fac
ing the United States that springs out
from their novel imperial policy" says:
''It is impossible to view the policy

known what the Washington govern
ment means to do for the navy. If
the Philippines are to be effectively en-
ployed, large navy and transport

The state canvasSing board will be

The election law requires that copies

these shall not be opened until the

If there is any Indication that the

spondent of the Standard, forwarding
his dispatch from the frontier confirms
the activity Of the Carlists at Mora del
la Riviera and adds:
THE authorities, probably with a
view Of avoiding the provocation of
outbreaks, do not seem to be display
ing much activity in stopping the
spread of the propaganda against the
government, which agents in many
parts Of Spain are openly denouncing.
The war Office, however, is actively
placing the army on a war footing.
There is much anxiety at both the war
and home Offices. Although no Carlist
bands have appeared, it Is singular to
note the general uneasiness. The gen
eral apprehension Is that Don Carlos
will not provoke civil war unless he
can count upon serious support in the
army, and, in public opinion, no such
SYMPTOMS are yet perc0ptible.'
