May YetBe Made to Call

DELAYED.
American Commissioners Told to Tell
the Dons That They Must Pay
the Price of Their Suit
for Peace.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Oct 16-The Heralds
Washington correspondent sends the
following: While firmly believing that
Spain will in the end submit to the de-
mands of the United States before re-
engaging In hostilities the authorities
propose to be in position where they
can make an effective demonstration
should such action be needed
The evacuation of Porto Rico, the
repatriation of 5000 Spanish troops who
were stationed in the western section
of Cuba and the loading of others on
transports constitute evidence the ad-
ministration officials say, of Spain's in
tention to continue at peace with the
United States.
The session Of the Peace Commission
tomorrow is expected to be one of the
most important yet l.eld, for the Amer
lean representatives are under instruc-
tions to make the SPANISH representa-
tiyes plainly aware hat their Govern
ment has sued for peace and must pay
the price of such suit. It is admitted
by the administration officials that for
the sake of public opinion and to give
the Spanish people and the world the
impression they are acting under dur
eSS the Spanish commissioners may re-
sist the demands of the United States
until a naval demonstration is neces-
sary. In such an event all of the ar1nor
clads will be available.
The wisdom of the administration in
delaying the departure of the battle
ships Oregon and Iowa, and Of directing
them to participate in the celebration
at Rio de Janeiro in honor of the ami
yersary of the establishment of the re-
public of Brazil is beginning to be ap-
nreciated These vessels under the
plan of the department will not leave
Rio de Janeiro before November 90. and
possibly even later. BY that time it
will have pretty clearly developed
whether Spain purposes to comply with
the demands of this Government or will
undergo the humiliation of naval
demonstration before accepting terms.

MADRID, Oct. Liza Epoca, the
conservative organ, renews the sugges-
ton of La Correspondence dndepend-
ent and semi Officially regarding arbi-
tration between the United States and
Spain. 1t says:
1.-THE negotiations at present are go
ing on without touching the question or
the Philippines, which is most obscure,
and which lends itself to the gravest
dissensions. Owing to the vagueness
and lack of clearness of the proctocol
the Commissioners are meeting with Sc
rious difficulties. 1t has been said
that If our adversaries are obstinate
in their exaggerated demands, Senor
Sagasta should address the European
Governments, asking arbitration, at
least upon the points to which an
agreement could not be reached; but
in view of the election struggle now in
full vigor in the United States and of
the declamations of the jingo press,
which affirm without limit the rights
of the conqueror, it is safe to assume
that a request for arbitration would be
without avail and serve no other pur-
pose than loss of time"

were narrow, and his knowledge was
not comprehensive, but he had read
some. ani he had been especially in

tool chest, and by his chair he had
table or bench ut which he worked
some every day. At rare intervals he
earned small sums by his handiwOrk.

Will they Train with Cits or Their Party
and Hurrah for Black or Roosevelt?
Trouble is expected at the special meeting OF
the BrookGeld-Swayne Republicans which will
be held on Monday night. Tho meeting was
called to take final action on two resolutions.
which caused a row when they were introduced
at the last gathering Of the organization. One
is to approve tho intention OF the Citizens
Union to nominate independent candidates for
the Senate and the Assembly, and to pledge
support to such candidates providing they are
Republicans. The other is to support Gov.
Black for denomination in the State Conven-
ton.
There Is a decided difference OF opinion
among the Swayneites about these resolutions.
The forces which favor q partnership with the
Citizens Union In the coming local campaign
are led by Lowell II. Jerome. a warrior of great
renown for warlikeness. The leader OF the OPP
position forces is William Brookflcld. He feels
that the organization would make itself ridlc-
ulous by passing a resolution to support Cit
liens Union candidates after it had put itself on
record as recognizing as regular tho commit
tees chosen by the Republicans at the primaries
held on June z.
The resolution indorsing the candidacy of
Gov. Black was originally introduced by w. H..
Kenyon. and il received the hearty support Of
Mr.. Brookfleld, who expects to take u solid del
egation from the Twenty-seventh Assembly
district to the State Convention for Gov. Black.
Recently, however, q strong sentiment in favor
OF the nomination of Col. Theodore Roosevelt
has grown up in the organization and it is by
no means certain that the Black resolution will
be adontad-
