WE WILL BE REIMBURSED.
spain Must Mako Good Every Dollar spent
by the United States In Prose-
cutting the War

Washington, Nov q Tho cabinet
yesterday devoted most Of Its atten.
ton TO consideration OF questions con.
nected with the administration OF
affairs in Cuba and Porto Rico
While the cabinet gave little atten.
ton yesterday to the peace negotia-
tions Mt Paris, there Is no longer any
doubt rs TO the general purposes Of
this government to retain the entire
Philippine archipelago II, after
final balancing of the accounts, viz:
The cost OF war to the United States
on one side and our acquisitions
on the other, II Is found that
any compensation Is due tho
Spaniards, II will be made In q lump
sum. II Is pointed out that at the
time the protocol was signed, the
United States did not have and had
not since acquired any part Of the
Philippine islands outside Of Manila
city and harbor, and that the United
States has never entertained purpose
to acquire any territory by the power
of cong uest What the United States
will insist upon is that she must be
fully reimbursed for every dollar ex-
pended by her on account Of the war,
and in the statement will be in cluded
an amount sufficient to cover all pay
ments, present and prospective. on nc.
count Of pensions incidental to the war.
The belief still prevails among the
majority of the cabinet that the Span
iards will accept the terms laid down
by the United States and that what
ever delay occurs before that result is
reached will be chargeable only TO the
purpose OF the Spaniards to secure the
best possible terms, to extort the last
possible million dollars. before ac-
ceding to our demands. The possible
ty OF disagreement of the commission
ers and the failure OF the conference,
however, Is now contemplated with
greater equanimity than at an earlier
state of the negotiations The ad.
ministration has satisfied itself that
Spain is neither able nor willing to re-
sumo hostilities on any scale that
would make her q dangerous opponent
to the United States. Therefore, sup
posing the Paris conference fails, all
that would be imposed upon our govern
ment is an immediate duty to take com.
plete military possession Of the Philip
pines,

Washington, Nov. a.-The request Of
the First Colorado infantry to be re-

THE PHILIPPINES.
4 Dispatch, Seemingly Reliable,
Says They Will Be Ours.
President Mckinley Quoted n being Con-
vinced That Public Sentiment Favors
American Control Of the Islands
what They VIII Cost.

Chicago. Oct. 20. The Times. Herald
will pu blish the following from Fred.
erick Benzinger. its Washington cor.
respondent: President Mckinley has
decided to keep all the Philippines.
The United States will assume s4O,-
100000 Of the Philippine debt In con-
sideration Of n quit claim by Spain.
The American peace commissioners
will be instructed to lay the presi.
dents decision before the Spanish com.
missioners at Paris next Monday. The
presidents decision had been fore.
Swallowed, but he had refrained care.
fully from committing himself
Anxious to execute the will of the
people, he has been studying the
sentiment OF the country for months.
When he went west he found
himself swept along by the full cur.
rent Of expansion sentiment Person.
ally the president hesitated to thrust
upon the nation the grave response
bilities attached to the government of
the Philippines. But he has had great
faith in the ultimate Judgment Of the
common people of the United States
and he bows to their will. The decree
has gone forth. The stars and stripes
will wave over IN island empire In the
eastern seas. Oppressed races number
ing 5000, 900 persons will be freed and
civilized. The islands number I, 200 to
1000. They extend north and south
1000 miles, east and west 600 miles.
Their area is li4,OOO square miles,
about as much MS that OF New York,
Pennsylvania and Connecticut com.
bined.
In administration circles II is thought
the revenues of the Philippines will
cradle the government to meet the i'm
terest and principal OF the bonds
without burdening the United States
proper. One OF the first things to be
done may be the refunding OF these
bonds in security bearing a lower
rate of interest. That may be one Of
the conditions which will offset the
advance in value. The administration
officials don't know the extent OF tho
Philippine debt. The commissioners
are making inquiries about it ut Paris.
It is declared in Washington, however.
that the United States will not assume
any thing but the issue OF $40, 900, 900.
