1t Is No Compromise.

Washington Oct. 24.--lt is expected at
toddy's meeting OF the peace commission
in Paris the American commissioners will
deliver to their adversaries something very
closely approaching an ultinatum.
The president is satisfied at last that the
Spanish commissioners are purposely de-
laying the negotiations. This is the belief
of the American commission also. The
time has now come to cut off all false
pleas and come directly to the main issue
left open by the protocol, namely, the dis
position OF the Philippines.
Up to this point the entire time of the
commissioners has been consumed in re-
peated efforts on the part OF the Spanish
commissioners to force the Cuban debt
question upon the joint commission against
the firm opposition OF the Americans. The
latter have stated positively that under
no circumstances will they assume the
sovereignty over Cuba involving the as
sumption of the Cuban debt, and the time
has come ow.when, in the opinion of the
American commissioners, the Spanisrds
must be made to understand that this ar-
swer is final
trhe president today approved the rec
concentration of General Wade at Havana
that the Spaniards be allowed until De
cember ] to evacuate Cuba. Meantime.
however, the United States troops now in
Cuba and Others to be dispatched will
take possession of the territory as fast as
the Spaniards vacate it, probably leaving
Havana to the last
1t was reiterated today that under no
circumstances would the United States as
sumo any part of the Cuban debt on the
debt charged against the Philippine isl
ands
1t might be possible the United States
would assume or guarantee the municipal
obligations OF Havana or other Cuban
cities, OF would not, at least permit them
to be repudiated. The same might be true
at Manila; but as to the national debt
which Spain has seen tit to charge against
Cuba or the Philippines, neither would be-
in any sense, guaranteed, This policy, it
was declared, our peace commissioners
well understood and it Would not be re-
coded from in the slightest degree.

Captain f, L. Zalinski. the we'll
known artillery expert. has contributed
paper to the Independent Magazine
in which he makes strong argument
for the use OF smokeless powder as one
OF the most valuable lessons of the
war. The advantages Of this powder
as stated by him. are. first. the absence
of smoke. which not only secures con-
tinuty of fire but eonceals positions
from the enemy: lower pressures and
higher velocities, ordinary powder Civ
ing yelocities of about 400 feet n seq
ond. while smokeless powder produces
velocities of $500 feet; and less weight
OF charge by from one-third to one half
of that of ordinary gunpowder The
question as 10 the stability of smoke
less powder under all service condi-
tons he thinks is entirely Offset by. the
obvious advantages and fair degree of
stability already demonstra ted. He is
confident that nothing stands in the
way of its use and that the gun of the
future will be a long tube of uniform
thickness Of walls, relatively light and
thin, mounted on suitable truss or
girder, which will furnish the neces-
sary longitudinal stiffness with the
minimum of weight

The American soldiers seem to have
| made IA great impression upon the For-
to Ricans by their size, which is gigan-
tic compared to that of the natives or
the Spanish. The first troops landed
at Ponce were Wisconsin and Pennsyl-
vana regiments, all men of fine stat
ure, some of them more than six feet
in height, and commanded by officers
of equally fine physique. The Porto
Rico horses and mules are proportion
atoly understood as compared with the
American varieties, and these latter
also came In for Il share of wondering
admiration. Climate has much to do
with size, but food far more. The Eng
llsh and the American are the best fed
people in the world. Both nations are
great eaters as compared, for instance,
with the Latin nations, especially as
regards meat. From tables recently
Issued 1t is shown that England in 1897
expended Ell 100000 for imported ami.
NAL food and IL, 5000 for dairy prod
uce. or cattle imported alive for food
the number was 6lS.0OO head and the
sheep numbered $4,000. The roast

much to do with it's aggressive, vigor-
