of the executive there was no indication of 1t. The hearing will continue to-day.
 The apartment in which proceedings were held was not. crowded. About the edges of the room were rows of law stu dents and newspaper men. One lady re- porter graced the scene. There was among the spectators a craning of necks due to an impression that the defendant was present. As a matter of fact Mrs. Botkin did not appear. She was repre- sented by Attorneys Knight, Wheeler, McGowan and HeRgerty. Against this ar ray Hosmer had to stand alone, and his experience did not gain in comfort from the attitude of Governor Budd, who asked many questions. The presence of Chief Lees anu Detective McVey may have sus- tained him.
 Hosmer explained that the purpose of the law was to punish rather than shield the guilty. The Governor did not desire the matter of guilt or innocence to be dis cussed. What he wanted to know was whether Mrs. Botkin could be regarded as a fugitive from Delaware. He was direct in his inquiries, and did not appear to be fully satisfied with the answers That he had himself been devoting study to each point involved was evident. The proceed fngs, particularly in the afternoon, were stances and quoted law, meantime read ing an address written in book. It hap pened that he stood directly In front of a mirror. Occasionally his eye would alight on a gesture reproduced there, and the vision seemed to please. At least he would make another gesture and look again. There'is reason to fear that that

In addition to the determination of the question of future possession, con- trol and government of the Philippines, the treaty of peace which the American and Spanish commissioners are to ne- gotiate in Paris will have to include inn portant provisions finally disposing of many other matters
 While the Spanish Government, in the protocol signed on August 12 pledged itself to relinquish all sover- eighty rights in the island of Cuba, to cede to the United States Porto Rico and all other islands in the West In- dies then under control of Spain and to cede to the United States one of the Ladrone islands, to be chosen by the United States, all of these pledges will have to be definitely and finally carried out in the treaty. The evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rico will have to be provided for in accordance with agree rpants to be aolacd by the Cuban and P5Tto Iiean military commissions. The eession of Guam Island, which will be named as the choice of the United States in the Ladrones, will have to be specifically provided for.
 In addition to these provisions, the treaty will contain a provision for a joint commission to pass upon all It will also include a provision for a national salute to the American flag as a preliminary to the resumption of diplomatic relations between the United States and Spain.

 petition.
Special Dispatch to The Call

HAVANA, Sept. 15.-The predomi- nant feature of the situation is the feverish and widespread agitation of the Cubans in favor of the absolute independence of the island at all costs.
 Manifestos are being circulated invit- ing the cooperation of Spanish resi- dents and merchants to this end, and pointing out that either annexation or an American protectorate would mean death to all trade with Spain in couple of years.
 General Maxine Gomez, who only fortnight ago gave expression to ex- tremeiy moderate views, counseling harmony and patience, now expresses himself as strongly in favor of absolute independence or nothing.
 How far the influence of the party agitating for Cuban independence may extend it Is at present difficult to esti- mate, but the fact is its agents are working like beavers.
 This violent impetus given to the agitation for independence Is the re- suit, apparently, of the arrival of the Resolute, or, rather, of the arrival of Mr. Porter and the examination he is making into tariffs. municipal taxation and other matters of international gov ernment which Cubans had expected to handle and administer themselves.
 One reason why many Spaniards who at first favored annexation have now changed their opinion is that they fear the competition of American rivals as

COMMISSIONERS GIVEN
 CONSIDERABLE SCOPE
Will Not Be Bound by Ironclad Or ders in the Negotiations at
 Paris.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The Cabi- net met in special session this after noon and adjourned at 4 o'clock. All of the members were present except Secretary Alger, who is not in the city. All united in the statement after the meeting that they T agreed to say nothing more of the deliberations than that the peace commissioners had been fully instructed. As to the nature of these instructions they conveyed not word. Each one pointed out that to do so would be extremely impolitic, and would amount to arming the Spanish commission in advance against them selves. The peace commissioners who were approached on the subject made similar response, thus closing all off cial avenues of information
 It was said that the commissioners were fully instructed and upon seek ing further explanation of this phrase it appeared that the Cabinet had pa- tiently gone over in the discussion with the commissioners every subject that in it's opinion, could be brought into the proceedings ..efore the joint com missioners. On each of these the American commissioners were made ac- Quainted with the view and wishes of the administration.
 1t is not to be stood from this that the commissioners go under iron clad and unchangeable instructions at all points, for there is certain amount of f1exiblitv in the instructions, else. as one of the Cabinet members put it. the President might just as well have reduced his wishes to paper in the form of an ultimatum and have sent that to Paris by messengers. The peace con- missiOnerS are in no sense mere mouth pieces, but having chosen with the greatest care and consideration five men, in whom he puts the most explicit confidence, the President feels that they are to be trusted with the interests of the United States. It is not expected that they will have free rein in the larger questions of policy but with arn- pie opportunities for consultations by cable and otherwise, there is no reason why the commissioners should not he able to carry out the desires of the ad- ministration and at the same time have the opportunity to somewhat shape those desires by conveying infor- nation they may require.
 For instance 1t is expected that at Paris the commissioners will meet Gen eral Merritt, fresh from Manila. and in addition they will there have the bene- fit of a special report from Admiral Dewey These will be of the greatest value for the commissioners are not acquainted with the Philippine oues- ton in detail and even the information that Is 10 De acquired rom the Span ish peace commissioners is not to be despised when 1t takes such an official form that it can be relied upon as to accuracy.
 All the arrangements have been con- pleted for the departure of the com mission and it's staff. Most of the party will leave Washington at o'clock tomorrow afternoon for New York, but rcumstances may detain some of the commissioners until the night train. The Campania sails at 2 n. r1 Saturday and explicit instructions have been given all members of the

party to be on board at that time Special baggage tags have been printed for the belongings of the commissioners and a small paper paster showing red and blue bars crossed on white back ground gives handy way of making a red, white and blue" identification of the personal and general luggage of the party.
 A number of stout cedar chests have been made to carry the books, pamph- lets, typewriter papers, etc, forming a part of the American case. The chests are like shallow steamer trunks so that they may be showed under the berths and thus be available on the passage over, instead of going with the baggage in the hold of the steamer. This will permit considerable work on the trip and it is expected that the

Department tonight gave out the fol- lowing concerning the discussion to- day between the members of the Cabi- no nd tlaIa is.s.i

lowing concerning the discussion to- day between the members of the Cabi- net and the peace commission:
 The members of the Peace Commission. with the exception of Senator Gray, whose absence was due to his inability to withdraw as counsel in a case in which he was engaged some time before his ap- pointment as one of the Peace CommiS- Sioners, have spent the greater rart (of yesterday and to-day in a free discussion of the duties with the discharge of which they have been intrusted by the Presi- dent. Senator Gray is expected during the evening, and before sailing will have a full conference with the President and his associates.
 While, for obvious reasons, it was de- termined that the nature of the instruc- tionS as to the negotiations about to be kept secret and made known only after definite results shall have been reached. 1t Is possible to state authoritatively that the commission goes to Paris fully pre- pared to follow course of action mapped out for 1t as the result of the conSulta- tions of the last two days.
 At the very outset it will be made clear to the Spanish commissioners that, as in the case of the preliminary protocol, there can be no deviation from or modincation of the demands made by the United States.
 The decision arrived at by the President, after a full consultation with the mem ceiVed the cordial and unanimous ap- proval of the Cabinet at a meeting held this afternoon.
 AS previously announced, the commits sion sails from New York on the Cam pania at O clock Saturday afternoon.

BRYAN PREFERS BALLOTS

He Is Anxious to Get Home to Take
 Part in the Fall Cam

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-A special to the Herald from Washington says Colonel William Jennings Bryan will, I under stand soon end his war service. Reluct- ant as he is to resign his commission, in the face of pending orders to his regiment to proceed to Cuba for garrison duty, his desire to get back to his State in time for the fall campaign is seemingly paramount to all other considerations.
 Strenuous efforts have been made by the Governor of his State and other poli- ticians to have his regiment mustered out, so as to allow Colonel Bryan to escape the alternative of resigning his commits sion. This he contemplates doing in case the War Department adheres to It's de- cision to keep the First Nebraska In serv- ice, and this, 1 am told, the President has decided to do, not because his late politi- cal rival is colonel of the regiment but be- cause this one remaining regiment from Nebraska is needed for service in Cuba
