Paris, Nov. 1S.-The meeting yester-
day Of the Spanish-American commits
sioners began at 2:15 D. m. and ended
at 3 p. m. The Spanish commissioners
presented q long document in answer
to the American argument which was
submitted last week. BY mutual con-
sent the memorandum was handed
to the Americans without being read
and the meeting adjourned to Saturday
next. The Spanish communication
will be translated and its contents will
be discussed by the United States COM
missioners at their usual daily session.
The Spaniards in their communication
reattirmed the position which they
have assumed against the discussion
They insist that the words "shall de-
government of the Philippines" in Ar
ticle of the protocol do not warrant
any reference to Spain's withdrawal
from the Philippines except on her
own terms, and, therefore, the Span
iards propose arbitration on the con-
struction to be placed on the words
1.-The control, disposition and govern
ment.''
In signifying their willingness to
submit the Philippine article of the
protocol to third party for construc-
ton the Spanish commissioners urged
that as there is obviously a difference
Of opinion regarding the phrase ''the
control, disposition and government Of
the Philippines" possibly the result of
misunderstanding, the Spaniards
should no more be asked to surrender
their view than the Americans to sur
render theirs. The memorandum
points out that deadlock exists which
might be broken by arbitration on the
continent, to which views the Spanish
commissioners are quite ready to sub
NIT. The latter declair that they have
no idea Of suggesting arbitration to
the main issue, which touches the ma
tional honor Of both sides, but they
are willing to accept exterior aid to
clear the path Of negotiations. 1t is
safe to say that the American commits
sioners will not consent to invoke ex-
terror aid to construe the terms Of
their own protocol. Another part of
the Spanish memorandum fatty as
serts. upon the authority of NJ. Cam
bons reports of the protocol negotia-
tions between Washington and Ma
drid, through him, that President Nc
Kinley at no time objected to Spain's
reservation of her sovereignty in the
Philippines. This allegation is directly
opposed to the American record on the
same subject.
Futile and Absurd.
London, Nov. 1.-THE Times. COM
menting editorially upon the Spanish
80 - %So,@
Philippines, refers to it as obviously
futile and absurd. The Spanish cab
inet,'' says the Times, has no real in
tention Of breaking off the negotia-
tons. 1t is only prolonging them in
order to familiarize the public mind
in Spain with the inevitable conces-
sions. Certainly there is no need for
the United States to send a fleet to
Spain, as they could easily enough
bring about submission without that.
Spain would be foolish to sulk and
thus lose the money compensation
America is now willing to pay

EVACUATION OF CUBA.
Both Commissions Agree Upon Jan.
as the Date

Both Commissions Agree Upon Jan.
1 az the Date.
Havana, Nov. 1S.-The American and
Spanish commissions came to 4 full
agreement at their joint session yester-
day morning regarding the date of the
evacuation, which will be Jan. 1. The
commissions took a precedent from the
committee of peace entered into fifty
years ago between Mexico and the
United States, when an agreement was
made as to the date for the Mexican
occupation to cease. Then as now it
was known that all the troops could
not be embarked by the date agreed
upon. Theoretically the Spanish occu-
patton will cease by Jan. /, though it
is believed that $4,000 troops will still
remain in Cuba. These men will con-
tinue to occupy their barracks until
they leave for the peninsula.
1t was further agreed to-day that all
arms. save thos in position, shall be
returned to Spain.

Koch's theory that mosquitoes are
the agents in the spread of malaria is
not new doctrine, but has been taught
for many years by Italian and East In
dian physicians. In the Roman Cam
pagna it has long been known that one
might live there with comparative safe
ty by sleeping in the upper stories of
the houses, where mosquitoes and
gnats seldom come. English physi-
clans in India have discovered the
germ of malaria in the body of the
mosquito, and have seen the disease
oco,*r in people after they had been
bitten by numbers of these germ-in-
tested insects. There are probably
other ways of getting malaria, but un-
doubtedly mosquito-net is one indis.
pensable means Of protection in a ma
larious district where the pests usually
abound.

Havana (via Key West, Flag, Nov.
1S.-With the departure Of the greater
number of the orden publico for Spain,
one OF the principal elements of disor-
der is removed from the city. Their
prompt removal from the island was q
step hardly contemplated by the mu-
tineers, and has checked for the mo-
ment any immediate action on the part
of the other regiments. The govern
ment apparently believes that the trou-
BILE has been averted in the meantime
and that the danger of an uprising of
any moment has passed.
The city is still policed by soldiers
and municipal guards.

II pay rolls are to be believed, SER
vice in the Spanish army has a most
noticeable tendency to safeguard and
prolong life. According to reports re-
ceiyed in this country, Spain has lost
great many soldiers in and around
Havana, but that merely shows that
we are not posted. Not a name, we
are told, has disappeared from the pay
rolls. What a terrible slaughter there
will be when the roll is first called
after the return to Spain.

A CRIME AGAINST HEALTH
The Use of Alum in Food.

Recent investigation shows that the
stores are largely stocked with baking
powders which contain alum, the in
furious ingredient which the Iowa and
Minnesota State Boards of Health
have so strongly condemned. England,
Germany and France have laws pro-
hibiting the use of alum in bread, and
the States of Minnesota and Wisconsin
forbid baking powder containing alum
to be put upon the market unless the
words "this baking powder contains
alum" are printed upon the label of
every package offered for sale. This
is the danger signal which the law
throws out for the protection of the
people. These alum powders are fire.
Quently labeled pure" "best in the
world none so good" or with some
other equally misleading catch phrase.
