WHAT SPAIN MAY DO.
Times Paris Correspondent Outlines In
tentions Of the Commissioners.

Times Paris Correspondent Outlines In
tentions OF the Commissioners.
London, Nov 4--The Paris correspon-
dent of the Times, who repudiates as
'ealumny' charges of hostility to-
wards the United States contained in
letters he has been receiving from
Americans for some time, says: I'M
derstand that at tomorrows (Friday's)
sitting, the Spanish commissioners will
reply teXtually as follows: 1T is i'm
possible for us either to accept or re-
fuse the conditions the United States
imposes. We do not desire to declare
a formal rupture, because it would
oblige Europe to run the risk Of be-
holding the humfliating spectacle of an
American fleet bOmbarding European
shores.
1--WE do not intend to furnish Amer
lea with a preteXt for the realization
of such an act; but we cannot sub
scribe to dictates which are not in con-
formity with the stipulations that ter
minated the war.
I'VE withdraw because we do not feel
we have right to sign the abdication
sought to be imposed upon us. We
withdraw, leaving public conscience
and history to judge the act of violence
of which we are the object, and, al
though we are unfortunately convinced
that our attitude will have no effect
upon the minds of our conquerors, we
can not assume any other, because, by
accepting the conditions imposed we
should become accomplices in an injus-
tice and a violation of international
law, to which we may submit, but in
which it is impossible to ask us to take
anY share of responsibility"

PREPARING.
EngIand's Naval Activity
Still Continues.

Halifax N. s., Nov. 3.-The crews Of
the warships in port, the battleship Re-
nown and cruiser Pelican, were given or
ders this morning to clear their ships for
action and everything was cleared from
the decks of both vessels. The warships
are now provisioned for a long voyage,

it is said to more pressing needs in other
quarters. Never since 1885 have the prep
arations for war been more elaborate.
The ordnance department has been busy
all day handling large guns.
Kingston. Nov. g. - The British naval
authorities at Port Royal, the naval head
quarters here. express the opinion that
ish North American and West Indian
squadron forms part of grand compre-
hensive scheme for a naval demonstra-
ton on the Pacific and Atlantic, intended
to Indicate Great Britain s. preparedness
to face any and all hostile developments.
Great Britain, it is said fully realizes
the snnenaces of the future, and would as
soon accept war now with France OF
Russia or both, and the present deter
mined demonstration means that the issue
rests with these powers.
1t is believed that neither of them will
accept this obvious challenge, but should
they do so, Great Britain could never be
more prepared than now especially in
view Of the possible ARRANGEMENT OF an
American understanding, and in view OF
the fact that the MARQUIS of Salisbury S
government has the support of all the po-
litical parties in Great Britain.

PRocToR's VIEWS.
He Believes That We Should Retain the
PHILIPPINES.

Montpelier VT, Nov. 3-United States
Senator Redfeld Proctor, who arrived
here yesterday after a trip abroad, this
afternoon addressed the joint assembly
of the senate and house, which last
month reelected him. Senator Proc
tors address was brief, and was con-
fined to an outline of the foreign stu
alton which now confronts the govern
ment of the United States. The sena-
tor said:
THE future policy of this country is
the greatest question before our coun-
try. Hawaii and Porto Rico have been
added to the nations dominion, and we
have become sponsors for the good gov
eminent Of Cuba We must assume
some responsibility in the far east
whether it will be greater or less. In
my opinion the responsibilities in the
far east are bound to be greater. Many
wise and patriotic men in the country
believe we better retain no territory
or control any part of the Sc islands be-
yond a coaling station, or possibly a
single island I recognize the cogency
of their argument, but have failed to
see clearly any practical way of carry
ing out their views.
IF any Jurisdiction is assumed in the
east, there is no logical stopping place
short of the whole of the Philippines.
To establish a divided sovereignty
would invite trouble. Since that May
morning when the Spanish fleet was de
stroyed it has seemed to me practically
ssttled that Spain must surrender her
entire control Of the Philippines. You
will pardon me if 1 have spoken too
plainly
Senator Proctor closed his brief adj
dress with a patriotic reference to
Dewey and Clark. sons of Vermont.

r rehypothecate territory already

or rehypothecate territory already
pledged.
Senior Rios will urge that should
Spain take that course, her creditors
might fairly charge her with defraud-
ing them to save for herself the Ca
naries, Carolines and Baleario islands
and to avoid possible damage to the
peninsula. The Spanish commission
ers viii protest that such a transac-
ton would be intolerable to Spain, as
1t would brand her as a robber and
poltroon. They will declare TO the
Americans that rather than be so pill
loried by their creditors, they will, if
they must, be deprived Of their remain
ing colonies and suffer devastation of
their mainland. If the United States
feels it a high duty to retain the Phil
ippines, Spain's ENJOYS will declare
that she has an equally sacred duty
in holding them to the pledge of their
revenues in honorable Indebtedness,
and that, while possibly unable to make
good the Indebtedness in dollars, Spain
can, if only By a fruitless adherence
to high purpose, save her name from
the brand OF theft.
This statement of the Spanish con-
tention comes from q source which
gives it all the weight possible to any
Spanish utterance, and, in the presence
of these conditions, the two commits
sioners will meet again tomorrow

MORE PAY.
Cubans On a
Strike.
ARE NOT SATISFIED.
Gen. Wood Says He Will
Compel Them to Work,

Santiago de Cuba, Nov. S.-The Gu
bans who have been employed in clean
ing and repairing the streets of Santi-
ago have struck for higher wages,
though they have been receiving a dol
lar day, or 50 cents and two RAJ
tions-higher wages than have ever be-
fore been paid for similar work.
In fact local employers Of labor have
been complaining of this high rate, al
leging that it was impossible for them
to compete with the government on
such terms. The Cuban laborers at the
best are lazy and slipshod. They want
an increase of 50 cents a day. General
Wood absolutely refuses to accede to
the demand and win adopt heroic mea-
sures if the strike is not promptly de-
clared off. The trouble is that many of
the strikers have rations enough on
hand at least to last a month or more,
and they think they can coerce the
United States authorities.
General Wood says he will arrest ev-
cry laborer able to work, under vag-
rancy law; which he will establish; com.
pei him to work 30 days for rations
while confined in Jail. He dislikes the
idea of importing labor but believes
that this must be the ultimate result
Today General Wood inspected the
yellow fever hospital. He found one
patient suffering from Brights disease,
but that there had not been a case of
yellow fever under care for two months.
He has severely censured DIR. Quicker,
superintendent of the hospital, for
making an appeal for American relief
stores, and he will probably soon alb
dish the hospital altogether.
Collector Donald returned = from
Gibara yesterday with $4,000 Customs
receipts at that place. He reports that
there is considerable SMALLPOX near Hol-
gum, but no yellow fever.
Colonel Hoods second immune regi-
ment is encamped at Gibara, in q
healthful locality, waiting TO Occupy Hol-
gum on November 10. General Demet-
| RUS Castillo, who is assisting in the
work Of organizing the military depart
ment in that district, Is busy engaging
men for gendarmerie, accepting only
| those of good physique.
| Colonel Ray, who has returned from
Guantanamo, says that the Cuban gen
eral Peroz is about to grant indefinite
| furloughS to his men to enable them to
go to work, the reason apparently be-
| ing that many are practically starving
and would have gone to work anyhow.

Captain Chester is of opinion that the
vessel can be raised at small expense.
She is of an Anticipated type, but would
be useful when repaired as a school
ship or for coast defense, though it
would be necessary to lay out large
sum in refitting her.

LIEUT.. TIFFANY,s DEATH.
Surgeon Appel Makes a Statement Refu'
ting Certain Charges.


New York, Nov. 3.-Maj. A. II. APP
pei, surgeon, U. S. A, formerly in
charge of hospital ship Olivette has
compiled the follqwlng report concern
ing the death of Lieut.. VIM. Tiffany,
First United States volunteer cavalry,
which occurred in Boston two days af-
ter Tiffany was transferred from the
Olivette.
THE numerous comments in the daily
press and weekly press regarding this
case and the social prominence Of the
dead officer, would seem to make an
official report desirable. Lieut.. Tiffany
was a convalescent from malarial fe-
yer. when admitted TO the Ohyette. He
was not a bed-ridden patient, but up
and around, generally going to the
dining room for his meals He i'm
proved daily during the voyage. We
had at all times an abundance of
wholesome and suitable food falthough
wide publicity has been given to the
statement that he died of starvation.)
Among the abundant supplies of the
Olivette we had fresh beef and poul-
try of excellent quality; plenty of ice
to preserve the same, and for all other
purposes; fresh bread, light biscuit and
cream, fruits preserved and fresh jel-
lies and delicacies. For drinks there
were iced lemonade and orangeade
(made from distilled vrer), carbona-
ted waters, tea and co.-ee of excellent
quality.
when Lieut.. Tiffany arrived in the
United States he was net by members
Of his family, who called out to him
that he had brought a lot of supplies
for him, asking him if he had plenty
of whiskey. / cautioned Lieut.. Tiffany
as to the necessity of his exercising
the greatest moderination in the mat
ter of eating and drinking, advising
him to go to his home and at once
place himself under the care OF a COM
petent physician,
Upon my arrival at Fernandina, !
learned of his death at the Parker
House, Boston, and the published state
ments in reference thereto.
