ISLANDS ARE LOST TO SPAIN
She VIII Be Compelled to ReIinauish
Sovereignty Over the Entire
Philippine Archipelago.

CLEVELAND. Sept. @s-rhe Leader
has from its Washington correspondent
the following interview with Senator
Hanna concerning the Philippine question.
which is believed to represent the Fiews
Of President Mckinley.
II do not know what the Instructions
given our peace commissioners are" said
Hanna. but so far as concerns the
negotiations which viii be instituted in
Paris tomorrow can see no other result
than that Spain viii have to reIinqulsh
her sovereignty over not only the Luzone
Islands. but the entire Philippine archi-
pelago. Spain has no reason to expect
to be able to retain any portion OF the
group. regard the Philippines as lost
to Spain. and. that being foregone con-
clusion. in my opinion the problem which
next confronts US relates to the form o.
government which We will give the
Islands,
when the Philippine question nrst pre-
sented Itself there was a strong sentiments
among conservative. rar-seeing and think
ing men in this country which favored
the retention by the United States Of
merely naval base and cOallng base in
the islands. this base presumably being
Manila and the bay contiguous thereto.
Since then. however. this sentiment ap-
parently has undergone a very marked
change. and It now appears that for tho
most part these same men who at drst
believed we should occupy Manila alone
are advocating the termination OF Span
ish rule In the whole group 1t Is our
moral duty to see to it that the Philip
pines are assured safe and civilized rule.
and until the United States determines
in just what manner they ultimately shall
be governed. We necessarily win have to
consider the Philippines our wards. what
Will be the ultimate fate Of the Islands
is. Of course. problem OF the future"

THE CUBAN ARMY.

WASHINGTON. Sept. So-The cabinet
meeting today was devoted largely to
matters OF detail in connection with the
formation Of the army which is to be sent
to Cuba. Reports were read to the ef-
feet that by October Is. the danger from
yellow fever viii have passed and 1t is
understood the movement Of the troops
will be begun about that time.
The conduct OF the Spa nish customs
officers at Havana is very unsatisfactory
to the president. and 1t is said to be de-
cided to take possession of the customs
house there at an early date, and to ad-
minister the Affairs under regulations pre-
scribed by this government.
There was also some consideration Of
the subject Of mastering out compara-
lively large number of general officers OF
the volunteer army to meet the mastering
out of regiments already ordered. The
instructions given the two commissions
now sitting at the West Indies provide
1t is said, lor the actual occupation of
Porto Rico in advance Of Cuba.

CONSTITUTED BY AGUINALDo.

NEW YORK. Sept ga dispatch TO

Senior Agoncillo. the Philippine repre-
sentative who has come to Washington
to ask that the insurgents be heard by

provinces Of the archipelago.
An important feature of the constitu-
ton In y;ew OF the fact that Aguinaldo
will try to obtain recognition from Euro
pean governments, is that part describing
the duties Of the secretary of state. 1t
provides;
The office Of secretary of state shall be
divided into three departments, for diplo-
macy, for marine and for commerce. The
department Of diplomacy will study and
transact all business concerning the dl-

AMERICAN SHIPPERS MUST
CONFORM To EUROPEAN IDEAS.
Tho Loose system Adopted by American
Manufacturers Has Lost Them Much
Foreign Trade

NEW YORK. Sept. s.-A special from
Washington says;
The consular officers OF the United
States continue to warn manufacturers
and shippers OF the penalties they must
pay for the neglect or refusal TO cater TO
foreign tastes and demands,
In these dispatches recently 1t was
shown that Canadian manufacturers OF
furniture have-built up a paying trade
In England at the expense OF the manu-
fcturcrs Of the United States simply be-
cause the latter were not willing to con-
form to English tastes and prejud!e's.
but Insisted on trying to educate their
foreign customers 10 prefer the Amer
lean styles.
Now comes Consul Halstead OF Bir-
mingham, with another warning, which
may or may not be needed. According
to his reports, the American shippers are
taxing business methods as well as OBJ
stinate In their discrimination to cram
their own tastes and notions on the En-
gllsh markets, Among other things, he
says:
The iewelry and fancy goods manufac-
turers OF Great Britain make articles on
a "i9 scale" In measures for the COM
mon metals and articles, a Zine Is one
twelfth Of an inch, but in the fan,y
trade a ''llne" is one fortieth OF an inch.
Today a declaration of returned Amer
isan goods" was sworn before me, mean
ing. OF course. a,blg loss to an American
manufacturer and due to his failure 10
make goods in accordance with the ex-
act specifications in the order, a Bir-
mlngham manufacturer ordered from an
American manufacturer lot Of inde-
structible pearl. giving measurement
he required In Zines" Not knowing
what 'llnes" meant to the fancy trade,
the American, without making inquiry,
had recourse to the metric system and
his goods are by this time on the way
back to him,
A few days ago was shown l6 letters
from l6 firms all well known in their line
In America. On twelve of these letters,
there was insufficient postage, most of
which had only a two-cent stamp TO
carry them. This meant that the Bir-
mingham man, who wanted to buy from
some of the American firms, had to pay
double the deficiency in postage and his
frame OF mind and opinion of American
! business methods can be imagined
/ Steamer mails from the United State:
frequently arrive after business hours OF
Saturday and If there is a dehcie postage
letters will not be delivered at hotels
etc, until Monday, and the travelling rep
resentatives lose time waiting for hom
instructions much oftener than could b
realized by any one not aware how gen
eral is the failure of American firms t
pay full postage,

MISS LUCY HILL CANNOT
ASSUME THE FAMOUS TITLE.

REYNOLDS. Ca, Sept. @,-General
John B. Gordon. commander in chief of
the United Confederate Veterans, was
shown a dispatch from Chicago in which
Miss Lucy Hill claims TO have had the
title of Daughter of the Confederacy'
conferred upon her by her southern
friends since the death Of Miss Winnie
Davis. and was asked If the title could
be thus transferred. He replied, with
great earnestness:
"Emphatically, no. In the very nature
of the case no one except Miss Winnie
Davis is entitled to be called the 'Daush
ter Of the Confederacy,' That title wal
unique and peculiarly her own, and 4
very properly to be placed upon her tomb
To designate anyone by that title woul'
be almost sacrllege. AS with jefferson
Davis passed the title of president of th
Confederacy, so with Miss Winnie Davl
has passed that Of Daughter of the Con
federacy."

That Sumter has long needed shed over
the railroad tracks at the depot has bean
known and felt By all who ever go to the
depot, but there was fsrcible demonstration
of the fact last night. 1t had rained all the
afternoon and was still raining when the
trains from Columbia and Denmark arrived
each nearly an hour late. The Colnmbia
train brought one or two extra coaches with
college girls, students and other passengers,
nearly all of whom were going On The Flor
ence and Bennettsville trains, and conse-
gently had to get of and wait for those
trains. The water between the tracks was
shoe deep in places, aud the rain was COM
ing down overhead. The crowd could hard.
ly be accommodated in the waiting rooms
and shed adjoining, apd the baggage wes
piled in the raio between the tracks. The
writer counted over seventy trunks and
valises and about dozen bicycles, all 90 the
wet ground and in the rain, except such as
happened to be on or under another in the
pile.
The Coast Line is certainly able to give its
patrons protection from the rain, aod Sum.
