Polo y Bernabe says war would be

would, of course, be too utterly terrible!
1t makes Mr.. Polo creep all over merely

AMERICANS CRY MANANA
Answer of the American Commission
Xnf (hmifr stenhY

Paris, Nov. S.-The United States peace
commissioners had formulated an answer
to SPANS voluminous presentment of Fri
day last, but the work of typewriting this
reply was too great to be finished before
? D. m. today the time fixed for the meet
ing of the joint commissions. This fact
was communicated at noon today 10 the
Spaniards, with a request that the meet
ing occur at 4 o'clock today. This request,
however, was declined by the Spaniards
on the ground that they llad some other
ENGAGEMENTS for 4 o'clock today. Con-
sequently the meeting of the joint COM
mission was deferred until o'clock to-
morrow.

today's sitting Of the peace commission,

islands and the negotiations will continue

sion in a friendly spirit"

SCIENTISTS IN PATAGONIA
Very Valuable contributions in the
Geological Way

Princeton. n. J., Nov S-The first re-
port of the Princeton second geological
expedition was made known today
A year ago Professor Scott sent Messrs
Hatcher and Coldburn to the unknown
regions of Patagonia 10 extend the ex-
plorations begun by Messrs. Peterson
and Hatcher, a former expedition. The
results obtained surpass the most san
guine expectations of Professor Scott and
the geological department. The expedi-
ton, the report says, explored the coun-
try inland and to the northward for a dis
lance Of 800 miles from the Straits Of
Magellan, adding much to our knowledge
of the geography of the country, and
discovering at the base of the Andes a
beautiful lake thirty miles in length, not
previously reported.
In the region of this lake, or about mid
way between Lake Buenos Ayres and the
headwaters OF the river Chico, or North
fork of the Santa Cruz river, a new and
extremely rich locality for vertebrate
fossils was discovered and many new
facts observed bearing upon the geology
Of the country. The explorations were
successful in making a complete section
of the marine tertiary deposits Of the
country and making collections OF the
fossils from them. In these deposits a
hitherto entirely unknown horizon has
been discovered which will prove the
greatest find of the age in certain fields
which have been much discussed among
biologists. Considerable time was taken
in the examination of animal life and the
collection of recent birds. Extensive col
lectiOns of fresh water and marine mol
luscS and crustaceans were secured, with
a very complete series OF lizards and
frogs. In addition to the considerable
collection OF arts and manufactures OF the
different tribes inhabiting these regions,
a splendid series of photogra phs were Sc
cured and a complete dictionary Of the
Yahgan language compiled.

Washington, Nov. $50 far as the

no break in the peace negotiations, as re-
ported IN early bulletins today from Paris
and If any difficulty mad arisen officials
say II certainly would have been reported

encouraging than the reverse and there

1nent, rather curiously made by the Span
Ssh cabinet yesterday. that there will be
three or four more meetings. Of the Joint
commission This is taken as an fndica-
ton that the Spaniards themselves are
not looking for a break in the negotia-

full conclusion in a short time.
