man during a greater part of the day and
evening The stroke has affected her entire
right side. and even in brief periods of con-
seriousness she is unable to speak. Tonight
she seemed to be in a slightly improved
condition. She RECEIVERS consciousness at
times, but has not spoken a word since she
was stricken At one time tonight she evil
IDENTIFY recognized Mr.. Sherman, who had
been constantly at her bedside throughout

THE PEACE COMMISSION
SPANISH CORRESPONDENTS REPORT
OF PROCEEDINGS AT PARIS.
No Agreement on the Evacuation of
Cuba, Surrender of War Material
and the Debt of the Island.

PARIS, Oct 13.-The American peace COM
missioners held their usual sessions to-day.
The Temps this evening says: I'VE have
received from our Madrid correspondent
dispatch dated Oct. H. asserting that a re-
port was circulated in Madrid on Wednes-
day that the commissioners were exclusive
ly occupied with the Cuban question and
that the commissioners agreed except re-
garding the evacuation by the Spanish
troops. the surrender of war material and
the question of the Cuban debt. The re-
spective governments are now examining
these questions. Spain is said to be will
ing to surrender the war material pro-
vided the Americans accord an extension of
time for the evacuation and in spite of the
fact that the date on which the Americans
will assume the administration of the
island is Dec. l. An agreement on the debt
question is more difficult, the Americans
claiming that the question is irrelevant be-
cause the United States is not annexing
Cuba. The Americans further hold that a
majority of the Cuban oebt was incurred
before the civil war of 1895 and that the
whole debt since contracted has been de-
voted entirely to the prevention of Cuban
independence, wherefore the ultimate settle
ment on the debt should devolve on the
future Cuban government. Thus Spain would
prefer the annexation of Cuba to the United
States. 1t is further affirmed that failing
an agreement between the commissioners,
this will be submitted to arbitration"
The Temps adds that the commissioners
have prepared memoranda interchanging
their views on the clauses Of the protocol
which are being discussed.

FINANCIAL SCARE.
london Traders Frightened by Rise
in the Discount Rate.

LONDON, Oct. 13.-The rise in the dis
count rate of the Bank of England from
to per cent. to-day momentarily scared
the markets. People jumped to the con-
clusion that the banks action was due to
the war scare and to Lord Rosebery's
speech. Calm reflection. however, has
shown that it was only a measure of pre-
caution. The persistent buying of gold by
the United States and Germany has pre-
vented the bank from securing any. and as
q consequence the banks reserve is lower
than 1t has been since April last, when a 4
per cent. rate was adopted According to
the best-informed opinion, the rise in the
rate Is a purely financial measure, without
any connection with or hint from the gov
ernment of the delicate political situation.
Moreover, looking to the actual large trade
Indebtedness to the United States, the bank
directors were apprehensive that low rates
here might facilitate heavy drain of gold
