SPAIN'S REPLY WILL
BE MADE MONDAY
But the Spanish Commission CLAIMS
Not to Know the Nature
of It

PARIS, Nov. 26-The Spanish Peace
Commission this evening does not
know what will be the terms OF the
answer to the American tender OF w.
600 900 for treaty cession of the Phil
ippines. Senior Montero Rios, president
of the commission, will himself write
SPANS final reply, presumably upon
the lines approved by the Madrid Gov
eminent, but as yet he has not for1nu-
lated sentence thereof.
Up to this evening the Madrid Gov
eminent has not instructed it's COM
mission here to reject the United
States offers. Some tentative instruc-
tions have been received from Madrid,
but to-day Senior Montero Rios tele-
graphed to Madrid for a construction
of them or a clearer light thereon, and
the commission is now awaiting re-
ply.
Spain will not ask for time beyond
Monday. She will then meet the Amer
leans and make q conclusive reply.
Speculation continues rife here as to
the acceptance or refusal of the Ameri-
can terms, but a majority of those who
are in any degree able to judge believe
that Spain will yield and the American
commissioners expect that treaty will
be signed.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the Herald tele-
graphs: AS result of advices received
from Judge Day and the counter propo-
sitions made to the American Commits
sioners yesterday the administration
expects that on Monday the Spanish
Commissioners will formally announce
their acceptance of the American terms
respecting the Philippines. 1t was re-
iterated by a Cabinet officer to-day
that Notwithstanding the propositions
made by Spain Judge Day and his as
sistants had been instructed to closely
adhere TO their original demands, and
it is presumed that by this time Senior
Rios has been so informed.
1t is believed in official circles that
further propositions will be submitted
before Monday, but 1t can be stated
positively that they will be rejected,
and that Spain must answer definitely.
Noncompliance will be followed by
the submission of an ultimatum requir-
ing immediate action as desired by this
Government or an interruption of ne
gotiations and resumption of hostili-
ties. Naturally the authorities are
anxious over the outcome, but the &C
ton of the Spanish Commissioners in
making the propositions outlined lndl-
Gates to their mind that the Madrid
Government is prepared to yield and is
only endeavoring to soften her fall as
much as possible by making better
terms than those offered.

Charles Johnson Locked Up in the

4 respectable appearing man with

Shortly after o'clock yesterday morn

He saw Johnson leaving the premises

Officers Skein and Collins, who Iound

DEMAND FOR CESSION
OF SULU ARCHIPELAGO
Spain Has Sovereignty Over These
Islands, Notwithstanding AS
sertions of Germans.

LONDON, Nov. 26.-SpeciaI dis
patches from Madrid say Senior Mon
tero Rios. the president of the Spanish
Peace Commission, has Informed his
Government that the Americans de-
mand the cession of the Sulu archi-
pelago. Further advices from Madrid
say the Spanish Cabinet has decided
to instruct it's commissioners, after the
peace treaty is signed. to ask for re-
vision Of the treaties existing before
the war.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-The asser-
tons made in some of the German
newspapers that Bismarck, in 1877, had
established Germany'S rights to the
Sulu Islands, forming the southern por-
ton Of the Philippine group, have led to
the making of an investigation into the
history of the negotiations of that date
relative to the islands in the East. It
has been found that in the year named
England, Germany and Spain having
conflicting claims to various islands,
tripartite arrangement was entered
into by the terms of which Spain
yielded her claim to the northern part
of the island of Borneo, and guaranteed
to England and Germany liberal rights
of trade and fisheries in the Sulu
Islands. The treaty, however, con-
cedes absolutely Spain's sovereignty
over the islands, so there is no OBJ
struction to their cession to the United
States on that score.

"OPEN DOOR"
POLICY FOR
PHILIPPINES
Good During Military
Occupation
PRESIDENTS VIEWS UPHELD
CONGRESS MAY MAKE TARIFF
CHANGES.
Revenue Systems of the Possessions
Taken From Spain Continue
to Excite Great Interest
Among Statesmen.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK Nov. 26.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Herald
sends the following: Despite the views
Of some able constitutional authorities
in and out of Congress the President
and his Cabinet are convinced of the
power of the Government 10 maintain
an open door" policy in the Philip
pines.
This whole matter was gone over
very carefully by the administration
before the policy announced in Paris
was adopted, and it was decided that
the right to carry out this system at
least during the term of military occu-
patton was ample. I learn that dis
patches from Paris were in error in
saying the commission announced that
the United States would pledge itself
to this policy for term of years. The
Commissioners went no further than
to declare that this would be the pol
icy of the United States while the Phil
ippines We're under military control.
After they pass under the control Of
Congress it will be for Congress to de-
termine whether the policy shall be
longer continued. 1t is regarded by the
administration as a good diplomatic
move as it will put the United States
macv andwill tend to insure the sup
port of Great Britain for any policy
this country may adopt in dealing with
questions arising in that mart of the
world.
Questions of the policy to be adopted
in dealing with the tariff and revenue
systems of the possessions taken from
Spain continue to excite great interest
among Senators and Representatives
who are arriving in Washington for the
approaching session. AS might be ex-
pected on the question involving the
construction of a debatable constitu-
tional point there is a wide diversity of
views. Senator German does not be-
lieve that what is proclaimed as the
open door" policy with reference TO
the Philippines at all commits this Gov
eminent to a non-uniform tariff sys-
tenn with reference to these islands. In
due time. he holds, Congress will take
hold of the whole matter and no more
obstruction will exist between the Phil
ippines and the United States than ex-
lists between the United States and any
other territory controlled by it.
Senator German proceeds on the pre-
sumption that the Philippines will be
occupied by the United States. and that
the treaty Will be signed and ratified
on that basis.
Senator Faulkner of West Virginia, a
member of the Canadian Commission,
says he has carefully examined the So
called open-door proposition, and he
holds there is nothing unconstitutional
IN the position said to have been taken
by the President. He contends that
Congress alonehas constitutional power
to levy taxation, and pending action by
Congress the President, in the exercise
of his constitutional power, may es-
tablish military form of government
in the Philippines and make such regu-
lations as will best serve the interests
of the United States.

OBLIGED TO ACCEDE

and Special Treaty for the Phil
ippines in Order.
be signed.

MADRID. Nov. 26-The Imparcial
to-day says: THE Spanish Govern
ment thought that after the signing of
the peace treaty friendly relations be-
tween the United States and Spain
would be resumed and the Govern
ments would negotiate directly on mat
tiers of secondary Importance. But the
United States last note requests that
the Paris Commissioners be empowered
to arrange a revision of the treaties of
commerce and special treaty for the
Philippines, as well as to settle other
questions. The Spanish Cabinet is
obliged to accede to the request, and
therefore several additional sessions
will be necessary after Monday. The
instructions sent to M. Montero Rios
order him again to insist that the abso-
lutte rights of Spain in the Philippines
should be maintained in accordance
with the very clear text Of the protocol.
However, the Government declares that
Senior Montero Rios will sign the peace
treaty without reserve, as it's sigma
ture under protest will deprive the
treaty of a definite character and
leave matters as bad as they are now,
and we have Ministerial authority for
saying that the Government desires
the speediest settlement of these mat

SCHLEY RELATES TWO
CURIOUS INCIDENTS
At Banquet Given in His Honor He
Tells of Strange Emotions of
Telepathy.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Rear Admiral
Schley was the guest of honor at a
banquet given tonight by the Lotus
Club at their magnificent home on
Fifth avenue. Seated at the board to
greet him were gentlemen prominent
in the Americans Spanish war and we'll
known in professional and commercial
circles. The banquet room of the club
was richly decorated with cut flowers,
palms and potted plants, and immedi-
ately behind the admirars chair were
draped the stars and stripes, with the
flag which the admiral brought back
from Santiago.
Seated at the guests table were
Bishop Potter, Admiral Erben, Captain
Sigsbee, Chauncey NJ. DepeW, Colonel
Robert G.. Ingersoll, Rev. Minott F.
Savage, Captain A. 7. Mahan and Ad-
miral Schley.
When Admiral Schley arose to speak
he was accorded a tremendous ovation.
In the course of his remarks the adj
miral told of two strange incidents in
connection with the battle of July 8
off Santiago. After stating that it had
been the intention of Admiral Cervera
to make his dash out of the harbor on
the night of July 3, Admiral Schley
said:
by some of the strange emotions of
telepathy l felt on that night that an
outward movement had been deter
mined upon and decided to connect the
after and forward engines of my ship;
yet 1 feared to be caught in an opera
ton of nearly an hour, but I was told
that the full speed of four engines and
one-haf boiler was greater than two
engines and full boiler power, 80
risked it, Much has to be risked in
battle. 1t appeared that at the very
hour I was occupying my mind with
this question Cervera had planned his
attempt to escape.
An other curious incident followed
their army's retreat to the hills west
OF Santiago, when our army was clos
ing rapidly about them. The insur-
gents took possession of Spanish block
houses to the number of six and burne I
them. That was the number Of ships
In Cervera's fleet. and he thought it
was a signal to us of their intended
movement, so he thought to fool the
Yankees and remain until the follow
ing day. That little fact determined
the result
Admiral Schley, in concluding, re-
ferred to his work in Porto Rico as
commissioner and said that the people
were gentle and that with the rule of
Spanish oppression removed and conf
dence established they would be a val
liable addition to the United States.
What their position was, he said he
would leave to Congress.

PREMIUM ON CRIME.
Light Punishment for an Attempt at
Wholesale Murder.

SAN RAFAEL, Nov 26-It appears
that some Of the officials of this city take
a rather light view of mans attempt
while under the influence of liquor to kill
his wife and daughter, and afterward to
let daylight stream through the bodies of
the arresting officers.
Last night Joseph Soldavini fired both
barrels of shotgun at his wife and his
daughter, causing them to flee for their
lives. Then he barricaded the doors of
his house and threatened to kill anybody
that tried to arrest him. He was dis
armed and lodged in jail by strategy on
the part of Night Watchmen Peter Brien

This morning Constable c. M. Sheppard
preferred a charge of simply disturbing
the peace against the desperate man. He
was taken before Justice Gardner and
given his liberty upon paying a fine OF

Sunset phones in its office and trans

For long time the Southern Pacific
