SPANISH INSTRUCTIONS.
Proceedings to lie Delayed as Long
~ Americm VIII submit.

New York, October pa dispatch to
the Wofll from Paris says: The Spanish
commissioners have been instructed 10 de-
lay as much as possible their acquiescsnce
in mo refusal OF tho Americans to accept
any part OF SPANS Cuban debt, but TO do
nothing TO give the American commission
ers ground for breaking off Negotiations.
The Spanish commissioners declare that
a circular note VIA be addressed TO tne
powers declining the serious consequences
wn-un me assumption of the Cubll debt
would have upon the solvency of Spain.
Having Zone this they will bow 10 the
Inevitable because they hsye been given
clearly 20 understand that the United
States VIII not 80 step further with the
negotiations until the way is cleared OF the
Cuban debt question and the complete
evacuation OF the island is positively prom
ised for January /, 1899.
If the answer from Spain tomorrow Is
affirmative the American commissioners
viii make Known the intentions OF the
United States regarding the recognition of
the Philippine debt and the retention or
the archipelago by the republic.
The French yellow book tolay fully con-
firms the supposition that no official COM
munication passed between Spain and the
United States except through Frerch chan
nels until the Paris peace commissioners
met.
What is not generally known is That
Spain has used French diplomacy several
times to elicit from the American govern
ment. without success so far an admission
of the contention that the preliminary
peace protocol did not surrender any part
OF Spanish rights of sovereignty over the
Philippines, or prepare the way for such
surrender.

either declined TO reply or has stiffly de-
ciared that the statu quo must be main
tanned until the peaGe treaty has been
signed.
Up to the present time not a single Span
ish paper has even limited at the possibility
OF rupture in the negotiations or re-
newal OF the war. In fact. except in
financial circles Madrid politicians con-
slider the peace commission of secondary
importance.
Political complications IN Spain have
agisen most unpleasantly for Sagasta when
he certainly required peace al home to be
in position 10 face seriously the turn me-
goNations have taken at Paris. He causs ed
silvela and Polavieia to be sounded on
their acceptance of office. Both REPLIED
that they were not DISPOSED to assume the
grave responsibility OF change of govern
ment and policy in the midst of negoia-
tons with America. This. 1t Is said, would
naturally be followed by t:le resignation of
the commissioners in Paris, thereby de-
LAYING the peace treaty.
1t is an open secret that Montero Rios
would not have remained in office II ST.
eaata and the liberal party had made room
Tor siivela or Polayieja. The queen and
sagasta have therefore decided to match
up the differences and hold on 10 present
conditions, II possible, until peace has been
signed and the cortes conyoked.

Concord, n. H.. October 26.--The fifty
second meeting of the American Missionary
association was in session here today The
report on Indian missions was presented by
its chairman, Rev. j. c. Merrill of Port
land Me The committee presented reso-
luton which declared shat I'VE believe that
the solution OF the INDIAN problem VIII not
be reached until the tribal unions are re-
organized and the present appropriations
for the material support OF the Indians be
discontinued.
Recognizing that our government bears
I friendly s9ttude toward these reforms,
we would recommend that a committee be
appointed to visit the president of the
United States, secretary of the Interior and
others who may have part in the admln9-
Grafton to urge immediate action that the
pol.cy now theoretically held by the gov
eminent shall be put INTO eNecutinn.'
Or, Merrill framed his report with All
| address on the Indian question and indian
uprlslngs.
A debate en- indian affairs followed. All
the speakers thought tha. President Nc
I knley should be asked 20 promote civil
service reform IN the Indian departments
and replace incapable w!th efficient Of
fiGals.
! AT the opening of the afternoon session
/ Prof. William Hart OF Washington, ID. c.,
told in an address why education is not
/ needed by the negro Of the South,
! The report on Southern educational work
was presented by Prof. George 5. stevens,
u. d., professor of systematic theology
in the New Havan Divinity school. The
report states that Institutions OF the coll
lege grade, forty normal and graded schools
and twenty-five common schools with an
attendance OF nearly 1900 pupils, are main
talRed by this society.
Many of the teachers In these schools are
colarod graduates OF Institutions and an
increasing number OF them have carried
tfer education so far as to have received
academic degrees.

WONDERS or ELEcrR,crrl.
Tesla Can Trnnsmit Power without
the Use of Wires.

New York October Of. --Nlcolai Tesla, the
electrician, describes IN today's issue OF the
Electrical Review, a possibility In electric
mower transmission. His inventions Tor
transmitting electricity AZ high pressure over
long distances have been successfully applis I'd
~ many natural sources of power. Probably
the most important OF these plants In the
United States is at Niagara Falls, costing over
seco0,o0o to install aud which supplies cleo
treiy to many large factories, and supplies
tho electrical power for running the trolley
lines of the city of Buffalo. twenty.six miles
distant.
The announcement Is now made that by en-.
pluytng apparatus which he has invented he
is capable Of generating electric pressures
vastly IN excess OF any heretofore used t.o-
Gated at natural sources OF power. the current
can be conducted to q terminal maintained
at an elevation where the rarlhed atmosphere
Is compatible Of conducting freely the parttc-
nlar current produced, then at distant point
whero the energy Is to be used commercially.

pressure 0. 2.500.0oo Volts
The Electrical Review comments on Mr.
Tesla's novel and startling ideas as follows:
Tesla now proposes TO transmit without the
use OF any wires, through the natural media
the earth and the air--groa, amounts OF power
10 dislancos OF thousands OF miles This viii
appear dream. tale from the Arabian
Nights. but the extraordinary discoveries
Tesla has made during number OF years Of
incessant labor, which are authortRtlyeiy de-
scribed IN our present issue, make Il evident
that his work In this field has passed stage
of laboratory experiment and Is ready for D
practical test on an Industrial scale"
The success OF his efforts means that power
from such sources as Niagara will become
