"Look here" said an Independent

morning, "that the HERALD claims
that Treasurer Fassett and his bonds

claims it is the city's loss. Now to get

WILL WASTE NO MORE TIME.
Delay ia Reaching Decision as to Phil
tppines Must End Spain
Is Warned.

Washington, Nov. IA final ultima
tum TO Spain was drafted at the special
meeting of the cabinet Saturday night.
In effect it declares that there shall he
no more discussion by the peace COM
missioners of the right of America TO
the Philippines. The president and the
cabinet have reached the decision that
that issue admits of no further argu-
ment. The islands have become con-
quered territory Of the United States,
and the Spanish government no longer
possess right or title to them. This be-
ing so, the discussion in Paris is to %
strictly confined to the manner of the
evacuation of the islands by Spain.
This radical decision simplifes mat
tiers greatly for Judge Day and his con-
freres. They have become irritated
over the dilatory tactics of Senior Rios
and the other Spanish commissioners,
and had begun to fear the negotiations
would drag their weary length along
until tie beginning of the new year.
