SENATE ADOPTS IT.
Hispano-American Protocol-U. S. Gen.
 sured for Seizing the Antilles.

Madrid September 10.-The senate has adopted the Hispano-American protocol by a sitting and standing vote.
 During the senate session today Senor Lastres of Porto Rico and Senor Pinedo of Cuba violently attacked the United States flor having seized the Antilles, regardless of justice and legality" and for 'discarding the mask of humanity assumed in order to get possession of the islands, the great ma jority of whose people is devoted to Spain.
 General Lnares, discussing the Santiago surrender said: If I had considered the equalization contrary to the honor of my country and of the troops who had been under my command for three years, I should have replaced myself at their head to prevent the island being given up.''

BIG CASE IN LITIGATION.
Case of James vs. Jasper Town and
 Lands, Limited, Comes Up.

In the United States court yesterday the case of James A. James vs. the Jasper Town and Lands Limited of London, came up for hearing on the petition to appoint receiver for the assests of the company lying in the United States.
 The differences between the stockholders of the English company have resulted in much litigation, and this is one of the numerous suits that have resulted.
 It will be remembered that short time ago on the petition of James, Judge Bruce appointed J. W. Burke of Mobile receiver of the company. Previous to this time J. H. Bartlett had been appointed receiver of the Corona Coal and Coke company, which is owned by the Ja sper Town and Lands, limited. In granting the receiver ship the defendants were cited to appear on September 10 to show cause why the receivership should not be extended to the property of the Corona Coal and Coke com pany and made permanent
 The case was called shortly after court convened yesterday morning and an array both sides. After some discussion it was agreed to pass the hearing until until to- morrow, when the question at issue will be gone into.

CHINA is FRIENDLY
Minister WI Ting Pang, Speaks About the
Zafro Incident.
Interesting Revival of the Statement
That the United States Could Sc
cure COaIinE Station in China.

The Chinese minister was among the
callers at the State Department today and
1t was inferred that his visit had something
to do with the action of China in warning
the dispatch boat Zafiro of Admiral
Deweys fleet away from Chinese waters.
The minister feels confident there is some
misapprehension over the action toward
the Zafiro. He says China has The most
friendly feeling toward the United States
and that the government would certainly
take no acticn prejudicial to this country,
unless it was necessary in the maintenance
OF strict neutrality. He thinks any trouble
that may have arisen is due to the ques-
ton of authority over certain territory sur
rounding Hong Kong. That point has been
ceded to Great Britain, and for some time
efforts have been made to extend the Brit
ish territory contiguous to Hong Kong
The minister thinks the uncertainty over
this territory may have given rise to some
question as to the right of the Zafiro to
remain in one of the ports of that debata-
BILE country.
Not an Evidence of Ill Will,
AT all events China does not want the in
cidsnt to be taken as an evidence of i'll
will
The technical reason for the expulsion
it is believed, if she undertook to take on
supplies for Dewey's squadron at a Chi
nese port. That reason is that the usual
law of neutrality prohibits belligerent
vessel from returning to the same port in
a neutral country within three months
and the Zafiro has n ade, as a matter of
fact, several trips back and forth from
Manila to the mainland. The British gov
ernment was obliged to direct in one case
that the ship should not be allowed to
take aboard supplies for the fleet or any
thing beyond a few luxuries for the Of
ficers.
Easy to Obtain n COaling Station.
In reply to the suggestion coming from
an English source at Hong Kong that the
United States should ecquire coaling sta
ton on the Chinese mainland with or with
out the consent of China, it Is said here in
high official circles that the United States
might at any time since the outbreak of
the Chinese-Japanese waI have acquired
such right from the Chinese government
upon making the request. Moreover, 1t is
intimated that during Secretary Gresham's S
administration of the State Department
the Chinese government, without waiting
request of this kind, let it be known to
this government that it would not object
to its requirement of coaling station No
effort was ever made, however. to act upon
this intimation, the officials scarcely real
1zing the extent to which the seizure of
Chinese coast territory was to be carried
within few years, and not desiring to
initiate the partition of China.
