SLOW PROGRESS At PARIS
Peace Commissions Still Haggling
Over Terms for a Treaty
of Peace.
NOTHING YET ACCOMPLISHED
Public Not Only Confused but
Nauseatcd by Gable Messages

and propositions" and
"Replies."
Special Correspondence to THE SrS.


New Youy, Nov. l9.-Considerably
more than month has elapsed since the
American and Spanish Peace Commits
sions met in joint session in Paris to
frame and sign treaty OF peace, to
officially end the war, and yet, practi-
cally speaking, nothing has yet been
accomplished. Our commissioners are
entertained lavishly by the French
Government, their wives and daughters
who accompany them are having royal
time at the brilliant receptions or ad-
miring the works OF art in the splendid
galleries or listening to the prima donnas
at the opera. Columns OF cable ines
sages have told of "deliberations' and
propositions" and "replies' until the
public is not only confused but nause-
ated.
Now all that has really been done is
this: Our Commissioners presented de-
mand for the REIMBURSEMENT OF Spanish
sovereignty in the Philippine Islands,
leaving the question of compensation to
be settled later. But Spain refused to
accept this unless we told her how much
cash VIC would give for the islands and
the eight million savages on them. This
question Mckinley appears not yet to
have settled upon. He is reported tc
have named as low u figure as $l,C00,O0C
and as high one as $4,000, 900
but there is no assurance that
: he has eyer definitely decided just how
much to offer Spain. The latest report
: from Paris is that we are to count up the
! cost of the loan and after charging thu
deficit to Spain strike balance on thu

ON HIS OWN MOTION.
The Facts in Regard to the Permanent Retirement of
 Major R. H. White.

The placing of Maj. R. H. White. United States Surgeon, upon the retired list was done at his own request. Some weeks ago Major White was, much to his sur prise, highly complimented upon being appointed chief surgeon of the Philippine eXpeditionary forces by Major General Scnofield, with whom he served at West Point when the general was military in- structor at the Academy.
 Surgeon General Sternberg, however, thought that Lieutenant Colonel Henry Lippincott, who outranked Major White, was entitled to the place, and thereupon the latter gracefully yielded the point, as he did not care to go to the Philippines for any length of time in the subordinate position of assistant chief surgeon. He at once wrote to a friend at Washington to thank Surgeon General Sternberg for relieving him. and at the same time he applied for permanent retirement. His request was promptly complied with, which was considered not only as a great favor, but as a compliment as the appli- cation could have been refused. The granting of this request is proof that Ma

ADMIRAL MILLER
 HAS NO ORDERS SAILING OF THE BENNINGTON AND PHILADELPHIA.
The Latter Ship Will Leave for Homo lulu on the Twentieth of
 This Month.

A great deal of speculation is being in- dulged in both as to the time of departure and the destination of the Philadelphia and the Bennington. Admiral Miller un- der whose command both of these ships are placed said last night: "I have not yet received orders in regard to the Ben nington. As a consequence I can not say just where she will be sent. The orders may come tomorrow or they may not come for some time, and then again the disposition of the ship may be left to me entirely.
 'I expect to sail on the Philadelphia about the 20th of the month and l think that all will be put In readiness at that time. In case of any unforeseen contin- gency, making 1t impossible to sail on the Philadelphia at that time, it may be necessary to send the Bennington to Hon. oluu. In that case l would very probably go to Honolulu by steamship. The officers and the crew of both ships are very anxious to get away and can hardly Lbide the time of sailing The report that the Bennington Is going to the Ladrone Isl ands Is untrue. I have not been apprised of any such intention of the Government to send the Bennington to that place and l would beethe first who would receive in- formation from headquarters concerning that matter"

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.
Causes Uncertainty as to the Date of the Departure of
 Major General Otis.

The annexation of the Hawaiian Islands has temporarily unsettled the plans Ot Major General Otis, the date of whose departure for Manila has been rendered uncertain, although it will be in the near future It has been decided by the au- thorities at Washington that the formal occupation of the islands shall be accom- panied by both a military and naval dis play at Honolulu. The naval part of the programme will be carried out under the direction of Rear Admiral Joseph N Mil Ter, in command of the Pacific station. He will sail for Honolulu on the 20th of this month on the cruiser Philadelphia, which by that time will be fully manned and equipped for the voyage. The Phila- delphia will reach Honolulu about the 27th.
 Major General Otis, who is to represent the military arm of the Government on this occasion, is in correspondence with the Washington authorities. who have asked him several important questions, to which he has replied, at the same time offering some suggestions and mak- ing some recommendations Until the Honolulu programme is definitely settled

 An interesting coincidence in regard to the camping of troops at Sather Station al the present time, and also in 1861 during the civil war, is recalled by J. frederick, who was one of the Cali fornta cavalrymen who enlisted during the civil war. The first man from. that body of troops to be killed was a man bearing the same name as that by which the present camp at Sather Is called Barrett. The man who was killed was second lieutenant in a San Francisco company. He lost his life in a skirmish with small body of Confederates near Tucson, Arizona.
 Lieutenant w H. Cobbledick, of Com pany F, is in charge of the officers mess this week. He was one of the most anx- ious to enlist all through the time they were awaiting the Governors call.
