II Is appreciated by the authorities
that Spain has the same right In the

test made would be OF the most diplo-

undoubted privilege II she deems Il ad-
yisable to do so, to send troops to tho
eastern islands to subdue any insurrec-

OF the cabinet who talked the matter

From the dispatches received from

quite an optimistic view OF the situa-
tion. II Is the desire to limit the time
OF discussion OF the various points
raised as much as possible In order
that the negotiations may reach an
early conclusion. Information which
has been received here shows con-
clusiyely that Spain has no further
hope OF foreign interference, and this
fact leads the authorities 10 believe

New York, Oct ia dispatch from
Washington says:
Protocols for the oosslon OF Porto
Rico and Guam island 10 the United

once OF Cuba, will be discussed by the
peace commission In Paris at its mex,
session.
These protocols. which were drawn
up at the last meeting OF the commits
sion, have been the subject OF serious
consideration by the American peace
commissioners for the last three days.
Secretary Day sent a telegram - the
state department on Monday regard
ing the work OF the American commits
sloners. but II was merely routine in
character and simply shows that Mr..
Day and his colleagues have completed
the features OF the agreements which
they are anxious tho Spanish commits
sioners shall adopt
There Is no truth in the reports from
Madrid that there has been a hltdil IN
the negotiations and the proceedings
OF the commission are not progressing
as satisfactorily as could be desired As
n matter Of fact, In response to tho
American demands, the Spanish rep
resentatlyes have submitted counter
IN (nds. and one Of these suggests the
assumption by the United States OF tho
Cuban debt In return, II is said. for the
annexation OF Cuba by the United
States. Failing In this. the Spanish
representatives are anxious that the
Cuban debt shall be borne by the Gu
bans. with a guarantee Of some End
from this country.
From information which the authorl-
ties have received. they say they have
no doubt that Spain will attempt to
faston the Philippine debt upon the
United States. and this information
would seem TO indkate that Spain has
In mind a proposition which may even
tually be submitted TO this govern
ment for the United States to take all
OF the Philippines. shoulder the Philip
pine debt and give her important ad-

OF time for her to present Il. This gov
ernment will accept no debts, nor will
Il guarantee the payment Of the Cuban
debt, directly or indirectly The in
struetlons OF the American commits
sloners are positive on this point II
Is expected that the matter OF the Gu

can carry a thousand pounds Of gun
cotton in metallic cases and drop them
upon fortifications and ships from a
height Of from two TO three miles.
Inasmuch as there is no possible de-
fense against such attack, the point
or ship assaulted would be at the

1t is to be hoped that the foreign COM

any Executive pressure exerted TO bring
them to tolerate Intervention in Cuba
without reference to the status of the Gu
bans The least they can do in decency
is TO insist upon giving the patriots bel
ligerent rights. 1t has been sin and a
crime TO withhold that. A people whose
army can rout and scatter $4,000 Spanish
regulars in open battle certainly are en-
titled TO the rights of civilized warfare

nearly 400 acres of land, improved by
