VIOLATION OF LAW.

On the same premises, the United
States was to day declared TO have
made and held us prisoners the Span
ish troops at Manila in violation of
international law, because done after
the suspension of hostilities under
the protocol. Il further charge was
that by the imprisonment of the
Spanish troops at Manila the Unltei
States had prevented Spain from
ouelling the iusurrection, aud had
thus contributed to the violence
against Spain after the cessation of
hostilities.
To days Spanish presentment also
cited the refusal of the Americans to
consider the Cuban debt. Oh the
ground that it was not sanctioned IN
the protocol, aud demanded an adj
herence to this as precedent in the
discussion of the Philippines, regard
ing a cession of which the Spanish
commissioners held the protocol to
make no mention.

PHILIPPINE AFTERTHoUGHT.

According to the Spanish conten>
ton in the formal statement, the
United States entertained no thought
of annexing the Philippines when the
protocol was signed, or it would have
been expressed in the protocol as
clearly as the conditions regarding
tile cession of territory in the Antilles
and the Orient. NJ. Cambon, before
the signature of the protocol, receiv-
ed from Madrid-the presentment al-
leges-a cable message clearly sitting
forth that the maintenance of Spain's
authority over the Philippines should
not be affected by the protocol, to
which reservation the United States
made at that time no protest or ob-
lection.
This dispatch to NJ. Cambon.as the
Sraniards claimed to day, embodied
also the view that the United States
had no valid basis for claims in the
archipelago.

sPANIARDs SAY NO.
They Refuse American Proposition as
to Philippines.

Paris, November 1.-The Spanish
commissioners, in the course of a two
hours session of the Peace Confer
ence to day. fatty refused to accept
the proposition made last Monday by
the Americans to take the entire
Philippine group and to reimburse
Spain for her "pacifie" expenditures
there.
This negative decision was expect
ed. The Spanish commissioners had
also u number of positive declara-
tons, which filled some thirty seven
sheets of Il type written presentinent.
In this statement the Spanish held
that the United States had no ulti-
mate rights in the Philippine Islands
and could have none save by the con
sent OF Spain in these negotiations
aud upon terms satisfactory to her.

Debt Collectors In India stnrve Them

One Gives In.

The most persistent creditors and
bad-debt collectors in the world are

common for them to literally live upon

aud allow no one to go out except by
his sanction. During this siege he
neither eats nor allows his debtor to
eat. This starvation is kept up until
either the debt is paid or the creditor
gives up the siege, in which case the
debt is considered cancelled.
The laws by which this common prac-
tice is regulated are well defined. Not
even the chief governors of the conn
try are exempt from it. When the
debt is large or the case in some
ether way important, it is the custom
for n number of collectors to surround
the tent and sometimes even the bed
Of the debtor to make sure he takes
no food. The law. however. requires
as matter of fairness that the col
lector should not eat during the siege
so the strongest stomach wins. This
rule, in spite of its absurdity. is paral-
leled by our own law, which allows
starving jury into verdict. In some
cases the collectors are systematically

able them TO go n long time without

CAT AND THE PELICAN.
A Birds Odd Way Of Introducing IL.

and Toss.

Behind a big, old-faShiOned house, in
a large city. there lived II large pelican.
The bird was allowed the liberty nt the
yard. around which he would walk Sc
datcly. He could not fly far. and he had
lived there 80 long that he seemed con-

One day. when the pelican was taking
his morning exercise. little kitten
from n neighbours yard came Strulling
along the fence. When she first saw
the big bird her eyes opened in wuhdcr.

out. But presently. rs the pelican did
not hurt her. she became used tn him.

But the pelican picked up the little

the little eat. and gave her another toss.
Down came kitty again. landing safely
on the grass. not at all frightened at
this new rough companion. She
seemed To enter into the sport of the
