Paris, Nov. 21.-The United States
peace commissioners have undoubtedly
made their final proposition here.
When the conference opened. this af-
terneon, Judge Day, addressing Senior
Montero Rios and his colleagues of the
Spanish commission, required to the
protracted negotiations and re-affirmed
the desire of the American commission
ers TO reach an amicable conclusion.
Then handing the American presenta-
ton to the interpreter, Judge Day con-
Guided his remarks by saying that the
Americans, preferring not to break the
armistice or~resume hostilities, had de-
termined to make a final proposition
which he hoped would lead to q speedy
and amicable adjustment.
That portion of the presentation set
ting forth the new proposaI--the pro-
posal that the United States must have
possession of the entire Philippine
archipelago, with a tender of $40, 900. 900
for treaty cession of the island-was
then read. Without betraying their
mental attitude the Spanish commits
sioners suggested an adjournment to
Wednesday,
The new proposition with its collat-
erals was embodied toward the end of
the American memorandum. which fill
ed 80 typewriter sheets. Only this part
was read in the joint session, the mem
orandum then being delivered to the
Spaniards for translation by their own
staff.
SPANS proposition to invoke the off :
ces of third power to construe the
words control, disposition and govern
ment of the Philippines" was regretted
by the American commissioners on the
ground that the diction of the third
article of the protocol dealing with the
Philippines, is so broad and clear as to
afford no justification for arbitration
between the parties to the agreement.
An analysis of the memorandum
shows that all other suggestions and
considerations in it hinges upon treaty
cession, at the amount named by the
United States and within one week.
In the event of cession Spain may en-
joy for a term of II years the rights Of
commerce in the Philippines equal to
those of the United States. If the Uni
ted States acquires the islands by con-
quest Spain may not enjoy such rights
Should Spain refuse cession she
would remain liable for indemnity
claims, national and individual since
the outbreak of the last Cuban insur-
rection.
Should she refuse. she would also
lose, probably as further indemnity for
the expenses of conquest, one of the
Carolines, which she may now sell. and
other cable privileges within Spanish
jurisdiction might be taken by the Uni
ted States without any return to Spain
for them.
This evening, the Spaniards, doubt
less, do not know whether they will ac-
cept or reject the American terms.
They are telegraphing the substance of
the American memorandum to Madrid.
and they expect to reply at Wednes-
days meeting.
Possibly they may conclude that. be-
cause one money offer was made. an
other and a larger offer may follow
pressure upon the American commits
sioners. But il this be their expecta-
ton, it will not be realized The Amer
lean terms. submitted almost at the
close of eight weeks of patient hearing
and painstaking arguments, are a
practical ultimatum.

ANOTHER MURDER.
Fred Robinson, Dennysvi|le
Shot Through the Heart.
Otis Page, With Whom He Hac
trouble, Arrested on Suspicion.
BODY Found in Woods With Faithful Do,
Standing Guard Over Him.

Lewiston, Me-, Nov. 21.-A special to
the journal from Lubec, says: Satur-
day morning, about clock, Fred Rob-
inson of Dennysville. left his home with
ms gun over his shoulder in search of
deer. His family expected him to "a
turn in time for dinner. but the noon
meal was eaten and still no Fred. His
father went out to look for him. 1t was
discovered at about the same time that
f'red's dog was missing.
Mr.. Robinson's search being unsuc-
cessful and darkness coming on with
yet no signs of Fred, it was feared that
some accident had befallen him, and a
searching party was formed. and with
lanterns they set out to make a thor
ough search of the woods in the vi
cinity.
At last the barking of a dog was
heard, and, following the sound, thu
party, at P. NJ, found, on Ship Tim
er hill, two miles from home, the body
of young Robinson lying on the ground,
while keeping watch above was his
faithful dog
The young man was dead, having
been shot through the heart His
necktie was off. his cartridge belt un-
buckled, and his shirts opened the
marks of bloody fingers being left on
the clothing.
Suspicion at once fell on young man
named Otis Page, who had been out
hunting, Saturday. in company with
Louis Anthony and young man nam
ed Carter, as there had been hard feel
ings between Page and Robinson for
some time, and Page was arrested.

SMALL BOY AND MATCHES
Cause Loss OF Two Dwellings and Stables at
North Arson, Monday.

North Arson, Me, Nov. 21.--Two dwell
ing houses and the adjoining stables were
destroyed by fire, this afternoon, and the
flames were so threatening, especially in
the vicinity of the wooden bridge over
the Carrabassett river, that help was
summoned from Oakland. A special tram
brought d crew of 50 men and a hand en-
CINE, and with shift of wind the bridge
was saved.
One of the houses was owned by Mrs.
Abbie w. Gray, and occupied by r. w.
Roberts, while the other house was owned
by the Dunn Edge Tool Co. and occupied
by Leander Cole. both families saved
nearly all their personal effects.
A small boy playing with matches is
supposed TO have caused the fire. The
loss will be about $1,000.

universal qualification at the announce
