troops in Puerto Rico, on the orders
or requests of several commanders
Colonel Hecker, who has just re-
turned from Cuba, was examined in
detail as to the charters and purchases
Of vessels by the war department.
Colonel Allen, assistant surgeon gen.
eral, was asked why it was that a vol
unteer organization like the Red Cross
could get supplies on the ground ahead
of the medical department, when the
medical department had certainly prior
information of the coming movement
He said it was because the medical
department was dependent on the quar-
termaster's department, the transport
tation department and commissary de-
partment, and it was not supplied with
men enough to carry out the plans it
knew were necessary.
DR.. Conner, who was prosecuting the
examination, became emphatic at this
point, and asked whether Colonel Allen
meant to say that the medical depart
ment was at the mercy of two or three
other departments, and this was the
reason there was such a glazing lack
of medicines, bandageS, field transDor-
tation and other supplies with General
Skaters army in the field.
Il think it would be better to put
that question in the hypothetical
FORM, said Colonel DENLY, you are

nor, with considerable emphasis, ito

advisers fully recognize the Importance
of strong protectorate in some form
One of the latter has even ventured the
assertion that if the Filipinos were
granted independence, in accordance
with the demand of the leaders,, the
United States would be Immediately
asked to establish a protectorate, as
otherwise the Philippines must sooner
or later become the prey of less lib
eral-minded country. This statement is
borne out by the attitude of the better
class of Filipinos in the vicinity of
Manila The numerous stories as to
hostility felt and displayed on their
part toward the Americans are with
out foundation. The United States au-
i thorities expect on the part of the ma
tfves a peaceful acceptance of the in
evitable.

SIGNING Of PEACE TREATY
DOCUMENT MAY BE FINISHED
BY SATURDAY.
Very Painful to spaniards to Be Oh
liged to Haggle Over Details-No
Session Yesterday.

Paris, Dec. There was no joint
session of the peace commissions today,
as the Soaniards are still occupied in
translating the American answer to
their proposals in regard to the status
of Spanish subjects in the annexed ter
ritory. AS cabled last evening. the
eight principal articles of the treaty
are settled. and all that remains for
the commissioners to attend to is the
settlement of the minor points of the
treaty. The latter will probably be
signed on Saturday next, for the Span
iards are anxious as the Americans to
finish the work in hand.
Secretary Ojeda of the Spanish COM
mission said today:
ct is very painful for us to remain
here haggling over details, since the
main points have beel settled, and we
have been obliged to relinquish our col
onies.
''All the work will be finished this
week. The commercial treaty between
the United States and Spain will be
negotiated upon the establishment
of diplomatic relations, and the ques-
ton of Spanish ships and products in
Cuba and Puerto Rico will be included
therein"

make, as in the case of the Hawaiian
commission, came before the senate,
coordinate branch of the government.
In the case of the joint high commits
sion now negotiating a treaty with
Great Britain, and the peace commits
sion now in Paris, there were the same
objections, which applies with greater
force. Senators should hold aloof from
such positions because their acts as
commissioners were to be passed upon
by themselves as senators, a very rep
rehensible practice, in the opinion of
Mr.. Hoar. He intimated that senators
acting for the president as a commits
sion, which in dealing with a foreign
country had to act as a body, might
be placed in the position of supporting
cause which they, as senators, would
reject.
The method of appointing senators on
commissions was defended by Senators
Morgan and Plat of Connecticut, who
claimed there was nothing inconsistent
in doing so.
The debate then became somewhat
general and the constitutional preroga-
tives of the president and the rights
! of the senate were discussed at length,
upon the legal and technical phase of
1.-The subject.
= OlH6T speakers III the controversy
were Senators Chandler and Bacon in
opposition to the too free exercise by
the president of the power of appoint
| ing senators to other positions. They
| pointed out that there was a law on
the statute books inhibiting citizens
from holding two offices with pay at
the same time, and insisted that such
appointments were contrary to the
spirit of American institutions.
| Senator Aldrich was among those
who commended for the right of the pres
| ident to call into service of the coun-
| try the talents Of senators and members
of congress in other lines than those
which their offices indicated. The con-
| tention on this side was to the effect
! that the practice was an old one, and
| they cited a supreme court decision tC
show that two offices might be held
by the same persons in cases where the
services did not conflict.
! Senator Vest was among those who
attacked the practice of appointing
senators to the place of commissioners
! These senators were often called up0r
to pass on their own acts.
All senators making speeches, espec-
tally disclaimed any intention of per
sonally attacking any senator occupy
ing the position of commissioner.
After two and a half hours of dis.
cussion, the question was referred tx
the judiciary committee, with instruc
tons to investigate and report upon tht
! nomination of the commissioners.

Joseph Oberndorfer, H. w. Early and
J. w. Skinner for one additional roll
and Messrs. Moreton, Martin and
Goodwin for the other, who quickly got
to work and the long line Of people
waiting to cast their votes quickly
melted away. In the early part of the
day Symons had the best of it. His
supporters had been organizing quietly
for four days, while the Critchlow peo-
pie had only a few hours to get their
forces in shape. In the afternoon, how
ever, the Critchlow voters came out
more numerously, and at 1870 o'clock it
was claimed that the regular nominee
was a little ahead. Voting continued
lively until the polls closed at o'clock,
and then it was admitted by both sides
that it was a very close election. The
count was completed by $50 o'clock and
showed that Critchlow had won by 81
majority. During the entire day the
Mormon and Gentle question was pain
fully in evidence. Mr.. Symons was par
ticularly active in airing his religion;
he threw down the gauntlet, remark
ing: Yes, this is a Mormon and Cen
tile fight, and we Mormons will show
you what we can do" This is the third
unsuccessful attempt Mr.. Symons has
made to get on the the school board.

washington, D. c., Dec. 7.-Senator
Cannon called at the war department this
afternoon and urged the early dismissal
of the Utah troops now in the Philippines.
The adjutant general assured the senator
that the Philippine volunteers would all
be mustered out upon the arrival of re-
lieving regulars, and that they would be
discharged in the order of their arrival
in the islands, General COrbin also said
that the exact date Of the return of the
volunteers would depend on the conve-

islands were no place for a white man

1t is now proposed by the secretary Of
war to send the first regiment of regulars

and the Suez canal. The regiment will

war department authorities think 1t would
be well TO have three of the ships on the
Pacific, and two will probably follow the
Mobile by the same route. 1t is figured
that the distance to Manila is about 1z,O06
miles, and the time of the journey viii
be from thirty-three to thtrty-n1ne days.

Washington, Dec. THE senate had

made vigorous protest against the

duly authorized agents of the presi-
dent to carry out his ideas and wishes.

being believed to be the wisest and
most judicious course. Pay was with

CUBANS MAKE TROUBLE.
Armed Band of Insurgents Parade
Through Santiago.


Santiago de Cuba, Dec. To-day is
the anniversary of the death of General
Antonio Maceo and has been celebrated
among the Cubans in Santiago. A me
mortal service was held this morning
at the cathedral, which was crowded.
Less than two years ago the same ca
thedral witnessed TIE Deum sung by
the same choir in celebration of Ma
ceo's death. Then the cathedral was
draped with Spanish colors. Today the
entire edifice was in black, interpreted
with a few Cuban emblems.
Considerable annoyance was Occa-
stoned to the United States authorities
by the fact that some seventy-five men,
Cubans, marched the entire length Of
st. Thomas street, armed with rifles
and machetes, although all Cubans
are we'll aware that such conduct is
strictly against the regulations, armed
bodies, other than United States troops,
not being allowed.
The armed squad fired three volleys,
many of them using ball cartridges,
whose bullets, striking the upper por-
tons Of the cathedral caused the bell
ringers to flee from their post.
A band of CubanS on horseback en-
tered the premises of the Spanish club
here this evening and broke several
lamps with their matchetes.
The United States authorities acted
promptly. AS result of the outrage
| at least half the police will be dis
| charged.

FIGHT IN THE SECOND.
Walker and Cutler Men Were Very
Active Indeed.

In the Second there were four polling
places. The most activity was at the
two polls in the Short Line building,
that being the polling place for the
most populous districts. Carriages
bearing the name of Walker were seen
everywhere, and Cutler and Walker
tickets were peddled around by an
army of adherents of each. 1t was
quiet and decorous, and although the
religious question entered into the
fight, it was not so Extensively in evil
dence as it was in the First and the
lines were not so definitely drawn,
many MormonS working hard and
faithfully for Walker because he was
the regular nominee of the convention.
Down on Second South, where dis
tricts 16, II, "a, Is s.nd 26 We're voted,
everything went smoothly until the Rio
Grande Western shoDmen voted in a
body for Mr.. Walker. Then the Cut
Ter faction gave vent to the cry that
Mr. Welby had instructed his en-
ployees how to vote. The rumor lacks
confirmation, and is thought to be
groundless.
