Spanish Premier Outlines His
Policy at a Meeting OF
His Supporters.
Reached the Limit Of ConCes-
sions Compatible With
National Honor.
Attempt Being Made to SulIy
Spain's Glorious History
by Calumny.

MADRID. via Paris, April 0.-The
supporters of the government In both
houses of parliament met in the senate
chamber during the day. Sagasts ad'
dressed them az follows:
1.-THE times are 20 grave and the cir.
oumetances are 20 exceptional that acts
and not words are necessary to face the
present difficulty. Attempts are being
made to sully the glorious history OF
Spain by an infamous calumny. The
different Spanish governments have
done their utmost to avert war to
which we are being provoked. We
have now reached the limits Of conces.
sion compatible with honor and terri
torisl integrity. We consented to the
last concession at the instance Of
The. Pope and tho Powers.
We yielded in fact, but now attempts
are made upon our honor and menaces
directed against our territory. That is
q thing to which Spaniards will never
consent. This is not the moment to
trace q parliamentary programme,
but the moment to unite ourselves, as
our fathers have done, in the face of
an odious attempt against the integrity
of our territory. The insult offered rs
today is the most infamous that has
ever been offered"
Continuing. he counselled the rapid
constitution of the chamber in order
to accord to the government the means
to defend the country's interests.

SPAIN SAYS mo-.


yyIIs Not Accapt Our Demand for the
p,,,l,upines-Negotia CONSUMED.
PARIS, Nov 5.-Thc joint session OF
tile peace commissions today lasted
two hours, The Spaniards refused the
proposition made by the Americans
Monday last. but negotiations were
not broken off. While it is believed
no formal counter propositions were
made. there was Il discussion of the
Philippine question outside Of the lines
of the American propositions. The
commissions then adjourned until next
Tuesday.
The Spanish commissioners take the
stand that the United States had no
thought Of annexing the Philippines
when the protocol was signed. or it
wouid have been expressed in the pro-
toc0l. IL is further held that the
equalization of Manila. having crcur-
rcd after the signing Of the prct"col,
and thus after the suspension OF hos
tilities, was invalid. Therefore the
Span;ar,ls charge npon the United
States a wrongful appropriation OF
public moneys belonging to Spain by
{ sciz;ng the tariff duties at Manila. and
they formally demand the return OF
| these moneys. in the sum ot neariy a
| million dollars.

REPLY OF AMERICANS.

PARIS, Nov. 1O.-In the reply of the
Americans to the Spanish claims sub
mittcd at the last meeting regarding
the Philippines. the Americans hold
that there was justification under the
terms Of the protocol for the discuss
ion of the future of the Philippine
islands. and they also claim that the
occupation of Manila is n military
occupation, which justiGes the United
States in collecting the revenues,
administering the government and ex-
ercising all the functions Of possession.
Nearly 100 different machines have
been invented for boring rocks.
An important industry of Paris is
the manufacture of toy soldiers from
sardine and other tins that have been
thrown away.
A remarkable feature OF India is the
number of it's deserted capitals. There
are no less than three old Delhis, all
close to each other, and south of the
present city.
The secret police of Paris IS quite
distinct from the regular force. The
members are generally unknown to
each other, and one detective is often
employed to watch another.
