OUR POSITION.
SPANS Commissioners Are
Beginning to Understand 1t.

Paris, Oct. 1.-THE American COM
missioners held their usual morning
session today, and entered upon the
sixth joint session at o'clock this af-
ternoon. The joint session ended at
$40 p. m. The commissioners viii meet
again on Wednesday next
During today's session, the commits
sioners were occupied with the consid-
GRAFTON of the Spanish presentation Of
Tuesday last, and the American an
swer, submitted on Friday, relating to
Cuba and debt of that island. The ex-
animation of the American written
canvass on the subject was not con-
cluded today, and will be continued at
the next joint meeting following which
the Spaniards viii doubtless reply in
writing, the conclusion of the subject
soon following.
The interchanges regarding Cuba are
now so advanced that the Spaniards
viii not fail to understand the United
States determination, disclosed in
these dispatches on Saturday, not to
assume part or the whole Of the So
called Cuban debt of four hundred mil
lions. 1t should not, however, be I'M
derstood that the Americans, during
the course Of the controversy, have
been unmindful of certain local bur
dens, like the municipal obligations of
the Cuban cities, railroads and kindred
properties, local and permanent 1t
should not be forgotten. however, that
the American attitude in Cuba is held
not to be that Of an acquiring power
either of territory or of it's real or con-
structiYe obligations. The opposing
Spaniards keenly contend that sover-
eighty involves burdens as well as
blessings, and that both should pass
together from Spain. Closely follow
ing this contention, the Spaniards are
pressing for a construction of the word
''relinquish" in the Cuban article of the
protocol.
I'VE must" they urge "relinauish
sovereignty oVerCuba, but to whom-we
have not agreed to relinquish 1t to the
Cubans-we relinquish it to the United
States"
Thus, crystalizing their reasoning
and insistence, the Spaniards bind debt
and sovereignty together, and urge
that the REIMBURSEMENT must be to the
United States.
While this contention is keenly and
vigorously supported, it has not shaken
the position of the Americans who cut
the thread Of Spanish diplomacy in the
middle of the word "relinquish." by
practically assuring the Spaniards that
they need not cherish anxiety as to
whom to reIinquish, but to conform to
the fourth article of the protocol which
pledges Spain that Cuba, Porto Rico
and the other Spanish islands Of the
West Indies shall be Immediately evac-
uated"
Briefly, the American response to
Spanish diplomacy of construction and
definition was words "relinquish" and
"evacuate," are interchangeable. and
have the same meaning Thus, three
sessions were given up to patiently
meeting SPANS views and contentious
touching the protocol pledge to relin-
quish sovereignty over and title to
Cuba, and there is a possibility of two
sessions more.

A BIG DEAL.
Edgar S. Hill Secures Full
Control of Point Breeze.

Webster, Oct. 17.-One of the largest
in Webster for years was completed
tonight, and property involving thou
sands of dollars changed hands. BY
the deal Edgar S. Hin secures full own
ership and control of Point Breeze at
the lake and relinquishes his entire in
terest in Music Hall to Arthur G. Pat
tison.
For several years Mr.. Pattison has
owned quite an amount Of property at
Point Breeze, while Mr.. Hill has had a
big interest in Webster's only theatre,
Music Hall.
Recently and more particularly so
since the opening of the Webster and
Dudley electric road, Mr.. Hill has
been developing Point Breeze at the
lake, and this new requirement gives
him ample opportunity to make it one
of the most popular and pleasant in
land resorts in Massachusetts.
Mr.. Pattison will also be benefited,
and it is understood that Music Hall
will undergo some changes which will
be much appreciated by Webster play
goers.

in the Way All the Time.
Washington. Oct. 1.-THE peace com
mssioners have not yet reached the
subject of the Philippines, but are still
engaged, not exactly with the Cuban
debt, but rather in an effort on the
one side to get that subject before the
joint commission, and on the other to
exclude 1t entirely as not proper for
discussion. Without doubt the friction
between the two sides has become more
pronounced within the past few days,
but this Is attributed to mistaken ideas
existing on the part of Spanish public
men regarding the sentiment in the
United States, and the probable results
Of varying political struggles here I'm
der these erroneous Impressions, the
Spanish commissioners have persisted
beyond what were believed to be their
powers of endurance upon their effort
to secure by some means an arrange
ment by which the United States will
accept the title to Cuba, for the as
sumption of the Cuban debt by this
country, or at least to relieve Spain
from that heavy obligation. The Span
sh effort viii not prevail but the Unit
ed States commissioners are retarded
in the contamination of their work
thereby. agueu9

The NEW COUNCIL.
4 Compromise Effected IN the Taxation
of Affiliated Societies.

\ Compromise Effected on the Taxation
of amIiated societies.
Denver. June 2S.-The new council Of
the General Federation OF Womcn's
Clubs met to-day at the Brown Palace
hotel under the direction OF the presi-
dent, Mrs. William Lowe OF Georgia.
The most important matter under ami
mated discussion was the consideration
there are two-the National Household
Economic association and the Ma
tional Society Of New England Wom-
en-. These organizations strenuously
object 70 the general 10 cents per capita
tax passed by the the federation and
hint at withdrawal. To avert a rup-
ture. Mrs. Slade OF New York, as rep
r~esentatiVe OF the society Of the New
England women, offered resolutions
which are intended TO abridge the diff
Guilty until the mex biennial. These
resolutions provide that n affiliated
national societies shall be responsible
TO the secretary Of the general fedora
ton rather han 10 the secretary OF the
state federation, hat they shall have
representatives Of the nominating com
mittee OF the federation: hat they
shall have the same representation In
the state federation and that they
shall pay the general federation $40
annual dues and the state federation
at the rate Of % cents per capita. The
council also decided to further work
