It is further de- clared that it is the purpose of the United States to maintain the Philip pine islands as ian open door" to the worlds commerce.
 On the terms named, the United States proposes a mutual relinquish- ment of all claims for indemnity, na- tional or personal, subsequent to the outbreak of the last Cuban insurrec- tion. November 2s is fixed as the date cn which the United States coniais- sion desired definite response to yes terday's propositions and all other sab iects in issue here.

IN A BLIZZARD'S GRASP.
The Entire West and Northwest Suffer from the storm Railroad Traffic De-
 moralixed and Coal Famine On.

Kansas City, Mo, Nov. 22.-A terrific blizzard has swept over Missouri and Kansas since Sunday evening. A fall of rain changed suddenly into sleet, and as quickly again into clustering snowstorm. The wind, as if to aid the other elements, has been blowing at a stiff gale throughout. The storm, from reports which have been re- ceivcd, extends from Colorado points to the interior of Missouri, and from Duluth to Wichita. All sec tions report similar conditions. The record for severe storms in the early winter has been discounted. Throughout Kansas. where it is prob ably at its worst and has not yet ceased, railway traffic is partially suspended. Telegraph and telephone wires are down throughout the state and com munication is almost entirely cut off. Coal famines are reported in several localities. The loss of live stock promises to be heavy.
