From information which comes to the
correspondent OF the Associated Press

thar the negotiations wiz last consider

Madrid has instructed the Spanish CON-
missioners on three points. to which the
Americans attach much importance
These are the cessiOn Of an island In the
carOhnes. the granting or religious free
dom over the whole Of the Caro-
lines, and the cessation OF a cable ana
coaling station at Ceuta. The Spanish
government has instructed Senior Monte
ro Rios to grant none of these. and. while
Spain may ultimately yield to them all.
it is admitted that the American COM
missioners have no power to enforce their
demands on the points now covered by
the protocol Before Spain does yield
the negotiations are likely to be pro-
lOnged. and the United Suites may have
to give substantial Quid pro quo.

CHINA Is ANXIOUS TO
PUNISH HIoHBNDERs.
Minister WI Wants to Begin Negotl-
atiOns FOR Perfecting Of an Ex-

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-The Chinese
government. through its minister, WI
Ting Fang, has broached to the authors
ties here the willingness OF China to ne
gotiate an eztradltion treaty appIlcabls
70 all criminals; but intended IN partlcu-
lar to reach the hishbinders.
The Chinese government believes the
hlshbinder troubles in this country Sper-
ate quite a. much against the law-ablding
Chinese and against the Chinese govern
ment a. against parties to the secret
crimes Therefore, China wishes to have
such criminals returned TO her domain
for trial
Little doubt is entertained here that Il
China once secures possession Of the
highblnders short work will be made Of
them. owing to the prejudice they have
brought upon the government. Moreover
II Is believed the senate. to which such a
treaty would have 10 be referred for rat
ideation. would act fayorably upon II,
and that il would gtir up anlmoslties and
asitations on the Chinese question in gen
eraI rather than accomplish any special
good In the direction desired.
The Chinese authorities have now,
therefore gone no further than to breach
the subject to the officials here and learn
how such treaty would be viewed, al
though they stand ready at any time to
assume the burden Of the dealing With
the hIghbinders and other Chinese Grim
inals II an extradition treaty should give
them Jurisdiction over the Offenders.

ton Star prints this afternoon an inter-
view with Mr., WI Ting Fang. Chinese
Minister, concerning the probability OF
the enforcement OF the Chinese exclu-
sion law in the Philippines when the
islands shall come under control OF the
United States. Regarding the application
OF the Chinese exclusion law to the Phil
ippines Mr.. Wu said:
II wish to appeal to the American peo-
pie not to enforce the Chinese exclusion
law in those islands. BY doing so great
injustice will be done my countrymen.
There are a great many Chinese in the
Philippines and all of them are a credit
to the archipelago The Chinese popula-
tion there is entirely different from that
in your western countries. In the Phil
ippines my countrymen are engaged in
every walk OF life"
