FORMAL DEMAND

the barracks for 1000 men, now occupied
BY American troops, the cost of which ~
not yet ascertainahle.
At Cavite, Spain had built naval sta
ton, which, before it was sacked by the
natives, was said to be equal to the Mare
Island station and may then have been
worth $2,5O0,00O. Whether or not the last
cifc expenditures" must be determined
in conference, but the lighthouses, water
improvements, barracks and naval sta
are ,Ss to the limited States
deemed worth fair price.
Spain has also built some schoolhOuses,
which the Americans are willing to take
over at cost.
The Spanish commissioners listened at
tentively. though not without some evil
dences of Impotence and surprise at the
financial suggestions in the American pre-
sentiment. and finally asked until Friday
to consult the Madrid government and
make reply.
ADJOURNMENT was then taken to, that
day. After the conference dissolved, the
Spanish commissioners expressed the
opinion that the American demands would
create In Spain. as they had upon her
commissioners, an exceedingly grave i'm
preston. Were the Spanish commission
ers pushed to final determination, 10
night. they would reject the. American
demands. but the recent changing tone of
ton of a treaty of peace, however rigor-
Gus, the argument being that, although
the Spaniards bow to the American de-
manus, the commissioners do not ac-
knowledge the justice or admit the legal
ity of them.
The Spanish commissioners. tonight,
feel that the United States, to all intents
and purposes, has not offered any finan-
cial inducement to Spain to cede by treaty
any part of the Philippines. Had the
American commissioners even offered 70
take over the entire Philippine debt or
$40, 000.0 900, the Spaniards affect to feel that
it would have been as nothing and they
regard todays propositions as so meagrc
as not to warrant even a schedule of
SPANS pacific expenditures" in the
archipelago

ENGLAND IS PLEASED.
Our Demand tor Philippines Is lust What She
Wished to Hear.

London, Nov. 1.-The Times editorially
this morning, expresses its frank salts
faction at the decision of the United
States commissioners to take the Philip
pines II says: 1.-The arrangement is I'M
doubtedly the best that could be made,
both for the inhabitants and for all in
terested in the trade in the far East.
Upon this point, as upon others, SPAN
has no choice but to yield, as her warm
est partisans no longer maintain that she
has either the means or the wish to re-
new the war
The Daily News editorially echoes the
views of the Times regarding the Philip
pines and says: For Great Britain, the
American retention of the archipelago
should be nothing but gain. In saving
this We assume that the United States
will not extend its exclusive tariff laws
to the colonies. but win allow the manu-
facturers of the world free access
The Paris correspondent of the STAN

TRAIN DID NOT MOVE.
Hungry Officers Have Men Held Train While
They Refresh Themselves.

Knoxville. Tenn, Oct. 31.-There was
quite disturbance at the railroad sta
ton here, about midnight last night. A
battalion of the 10th Colored Cavalry was
passing through on its way from the
Philadelphia jubilee to headquarters at
Huntsville, Ala, and at this point they
refused to allow the train to proceed un-
the orders of the railroad authorities.
The officers of the battalion left the
train at Knoxville to get something to
cat. with instructions to the men not to
allow it to leave the station until their
return. The railroad officials watned t.
move the train before the officers re-
turned. and the soldiers would not permit
it. 1t is alleged by the railroad authori-
ties thai. the officers went up town and
remained away for an hour or more,
leaving the train standing on the main
track.
The railroad people became impatient
and attempted to move, but some of the
troops boarded the engine and ordered
the engineer not to start. The railroad
superintendent then appealed to General
McCook of the war investigating COM
mittee, TO interfere. but. being retired
officer. he referred them to the command
ing officer of the post. In the meantime
the officers of the battalion returned and
the train moved Off.
The soldiers complained to bystanders
that the train was not properly provided
for their convenience and said this was
the reason of the disturbance. This the
railroad people denied.

ORDERED BY PRESIDENT.
Our Peace Commissioners Given Definite In.
structions Regarding the Philippines.

Washington, Oct. 3l.-The advices
from Paris to the effect that the Unit
ed States peace commissioners had de-
manded the cession to the United
States Of the entire Philippine group is
in line with the instructions that have
been issued to the representatives of
the United States.
Up to very recent date the United
States commissioners had no precise
and definite instructions upon this vi
tai point. There was lack of data as
to the financial and political affairs OF
the Philippines, and so it happened
that when the United States commits
sioners sailed they were not commit
ted beyond change to any line of pol
icy.
A majority Of their number leaned to-
wards restriction of the demands to
be put forth as to the Philippines,
varying all the way from the detention
of Manila bay and the immediate sur
rounding country to the acquisition of
the whole island of Luzon.That repre-
scented about the extreme demand that
was in mind when the commissioners
left.
But since that time the President has
become convinced that there is a
greater popular demand for the annex
alton to the United States of the whole
Philippine group and he is disposed to
defer to the sentiment. Besides, there
is ground to believe that, in an unof-
ficial manner, the United States COM
missioners have satisfied themselves
that the difficulties in the way of an
nexation so far as they might be ex-
pected to depend upon the will Of the
natives. have been very much exagger-
ated. If this be so, then there has
been removed as a factor in the calcu-
lations, one of the most disturbing ele-
ments.
1t cannot be learned definitely what
money consideration is to pass with
the title to the Philippines. Indeed,
there is reason to believe that even the
United States peace commissioners
have not been able to fix the amount
exactly. Assuming that they are to
repudiate all portions of the debt Of the
islands which does not represent
money spent for actual betterments,
it will be seen at once the task present
ed to the commissioners. of differentia-
ting this debt, is not an easy one; par
ticularly in view of the VIGOROUSLY
loose financial methods of the Spanish
colonial authorities. That this debt
! should be assumed by the United
States in some portion, is said at the
state department to be inevitable il an
nexation is to follow. The conditions
presented are entirely unlike those in
| Cuba.
