"A SPANISH OBJECTION
TO the Cesssion Of Luzon to Our

OPPOSE COMMERCIAL EQUALITY.

They Say This Would Annul the Only
Advantage Which Spain Might Ex-

London, Aug. 25-A dispatch to The
Standard from Madrid, by way Of
France, says: A very unfavorable i'm
preston has been caused in Madrid by
kilograms attributing to President Nc
Kinley the intention of instructing the
peace commissioners to insist upon the
cession of Luzon. that American COM
merce should have the same footing as
Spanish in the Philippines, and that
Spain should pledge itself that none Of
the Spanish colonies should be ceded to
European powers. If such are the In
tentions of the United States govern
ment the negotiations are sure to be
laborious. even If an understanding is
ever arrived at. The Spaniards con-
slider the cession of Luzon, their best
and most important island. to be
death blow to their prestigc. and sover-
eighty in these regions. and that this
would be irretrieveably weakened and
crippled by the presence Of Americans
In the heart of their colonies.
Commercial equality with the United
States in the archipelagoes would annul
the only advantage and compensation
which they might have expected to
have derived for the cost and sacri-
fees which have been necessary to
maintain their rule in the archipela-
goes. The separation Of church and
state would be more unDalatable to
most Spaniards, and would create
grave difficulties in their relations with
the vatican and the church, let alone
the powerful religious orders In Spain,
which are always disposed to side with
Don Carlos against the present dy-
nasty.
Last. but not least. any pledge to re-
frain from ceding any part to the pow
ers would displease many statesmen
and people of all classes, who are
daily more and more inclined to advo-
cate the sale of the Spanish archipela-
goes to the highest bidder, and espec-
tally to continental powers most likely
to be in position to arrest the growth
of American political and commercial
influences in the far east.
Nothing could be better calculated
than the pretensions attributed to
America to develop in Spain the visibly
growing desire to cease all connection
with the Philippines. and thus obligs
the United States government to as
sumo the burden of responsibilities Of
their government. which would likely
create conflicts with European powers
and tending. in any case to entail for
the United States more trouble and
sacrifices in men and money even than
the occupation and pacification of
Cuba. Even the lower and middle
classes seem to think this, and thus.
in both directions, Spain would amply
make America pay for the wrongs in
flicted

London, Aug. 25.-The election for the
seat in the house of commons for the
Southport division Of Lancashire, made
vacant by the acceptance by Mr.
George N. Curzon of the viceroyalty Of
India. was held Yesterday. and re-
suited in the return of Sir Herbert
NayIor-Leland UiberaD, by majority
of 272 votes over his Conservative op-
ponent. Skelmersdale. At the last
election for the seat Mr.. Curzon, in the
Conservative interest, was returned by
q majority of 764.
The result of the election is a bad
defeat for the government Mr.. CurzOn
having held the seat since 1886 Pc
culfar circumstances affected the con-
test. A section of Liberal Unionists,
headed by the chairman Of the local
Unionist association, declined to sup
port Lord Skelmersdale. on the ground
that now that the home rule agitation
is dead, there Is no longer any need for
Liberals to vote for Conservatives.
Thereupon Mr.. Chamberlain, secretary
Of state for the colonies, plunged into
the fray with letter urging the I'm
ionists, to vote solidly for Lord Skel-
mersdale. because home rule was not
dead, but only sleeping.
