Madrid, Nov. 4.-The government has
telegraphcd to Senior Montero RIOS
president of the Spanish peace commas
sion at Paris, instructing the commits
sion to maintain the rights OF Spain
against the pretension of the Ameri-
cans Of their right to keep the Philip
pines. This claim the government re-
CARDS as a breach of the terms of the
protocol, wherein the Americans agreed
merely to occupy Manila until the
treaty of peace was concluded.
Premier Sagasta has expressed his
hope that the Americans will modify
their demands, allowing Spain some
compensation in the event of their re-
tanning the islands.
The E.poca says that the Americans
are mistaken in their assumption that
cession to another power of certain ter

concluded in Europe or America prove
the contrary. The American demands
The Epoca continues, are contrary to

The Americans are dominant IN Ma
nila and Cavite, says The Epoca, and
the protocol only establishes them IN
temporary occupation, hence Spain has
a perfect right to claim possession OF

Washington, Nov. 4.--Dr. A. Hartsuff

Camp Thomas, Chickamauga Park.
from the 21st of April until the 9th OF
July last, was examined by Colonel
DENLY of the war investigating COM
mission concerning the conduct of the
camp from a medical point of view.
He criticised various features in the
management Of the camp, beginning
with the location Of some of the regi-
ments. He said that the park was upon
general principles a good camp ground,
but that some of the regiments We're
located in swampy sections and others
on rocky ground, where it was impossi-
BILE to get the sinks of sufficient depths
In other cases the camp was poorly
drained, and in most instances the
tents were too close together.

Minister Wu's Views.

Washington, Nov. 4.-The Chinese
minister, Mr.. WI, is following with
much interest the developments in the
east, where the conflicting interests Of
Russia and England seem to he on the
verge of open hostilities. Concerning
the latest report, that Russia had taken
the treaty port Of New Chwang, thus
giving her control of all Manchuria and
shutting out the British from trade in
that great section, Mr. WI says it is
hardly credible that Russia has taken
such a step, as New Chwang, being a
treaty port, is of almost as much inter-
est to the outside world as it is to
China.
The treaty ports are freely open to
foreign trade, and as result large
foreign colonies have been built up in
them. 1t j. at the treaty ports that the

England Buys Coal From Us.

Philadelphia, Nov. 4-The probability
of war between England and France
has received fresh impetus by the &C
ton of England, who purchased large
amount of American coal for immediate
delivery at her West Indian naval sta
tons.
In response to hurried cablegrams
from London ship brokers engaged in
the West Indian trade spent the greater
part of Wednesday searching for tom
mage suitable to transport the coal from
Philadelphia and Newport News to
points where it will be most convenient
for English war craft to fill their bunk
ers. Sailing vessels from 1000 to 1000
tons carrying capacity are particularly
in demand.
The first shipments are to be sent to
Kingston, to be followed by vessels for
Bermuda, st. Lucia and Demernra,
which are the principal ports in the
West Indies subject to Great Britain.
1t is also proposed to discharge a part
of the purchase at St. Thomas, a Dan
ish island where hulks will be used.
1t was reported that two British war
ships had been ordered here to undergo
81 ght repairs, which under ordinary
circumstances would have been made at
ether Halifax or the Bermuda islands.
