SPAIN ASKS FOR DAMAGES
Her Remarkable Demand Con-
tanned in the Reply to Our
Commissioners.
DELAY OF NEGOTIATIONS
1t Is Only Another Attempt to Gain
Sympathy From the Euro
pean Powers

She Says We Wrongfully Occupied Manila.
Retained Her Troops rs Prisoners Pre-
vented Her From the Suppressing OF
Insurrection and for These Acts She
Wants Cash.
Paris Nov. 1O.-The Spanish reply that
was submitted to the Amer lean Peace Com
missiouers contains a feature that is not
calculated to appeal to the generosity of
Americans or the sympathy of other ma
tions. This is no less than a demand for
damages for The hostile occupation of Ma
Mia and the retention Of the Spanish prs-
oners there after the signature of the
protocol
Hasmuch as the occupation of Manila
was provided for in he protocol, this clam
appears to be distinctly impertnent, but
Spain enters into an elaborate argument in
support of her contention, which is based
Oh her Interpretation OF international law.
She points out that it is the nvariable praC-
tice of belhgerents to restore the status quo
of the date of the signature of the armstice
or protocol In this case according to the
Spanish line of reasoning, the American
forces should have Withdrawn from Manila
and given up their prisoners The Spanish
forces would then have invited the Amcri
can troops to a friendly occupation of the
city, the Spanards withdrawing and devot-
ing themselves to the subjugatiOn of the
island where the Americans were in nowise
concerned. 1t was owing to the American
troops holding the Spanish prisoners that
Spain was unable to reassert her sovereign
ty throughout the archipelago, and for this
interference she now expects the United
States to pay substantial damages.
1t is of course, difficult to treat such a
demand with patience, and Spain forlets
some sympathy which she might otherwise
have gained from Europe in advancing it.
AS a matter of fact it is only another at
tempt to raise the financial question, which
as has been many times indicated in these
dispatches is the only issue with which
Spain is deeply concerned.
The American Commissioners have re-
ceyed no fresh instructions from Washing
ton, and nobody on that side has the least
doubt OF what reply will be given to the
Spaniards on Tuesday. Moreover, the con-
fdence Of the American Commissioners
that SpelH will soon ield to the inevitable
seems to be increasing, but the basis Of
their belief is not disclosed. If informa-
ton from Madrid suggests such confidence,
it should be borne in mind that the Spanish
surrender must come through another cham
mel than Senior Mon.ero Rios, the pres-
dent of the Spanish Commission, who firm
ly declares that he will never sign the
treaty the United States proposes.

My lady's slipper sees a very radi-
cal change. 1t is no more plain and
unadorned, no longer does a simple
little bow or unobtrusive rosette orna-
ment it. Instead. the slipper is now a
very gorgeous affair. 1t glistens, both
by sunlight and the CLEAN of gas or
electricity, for it is a jeweled slipper,
and, oftener than otherwise, elaborate
ly jeweled.
The style is to have these slipper
jewels match the pin or necklace you
are wearing, both in the gems them
selves and in the setting. When fan
tastic and curious designs are worn,
In oddly finished gold, the effect is ex-
ceedingly picturesque and attractive.
Rhinestones are to be favorite slipper
ornaments, diamonds being. of course,
too valuable to be allowed to twinkle
carelessly on ones feet.
The ornament most admired will be
gold or jeweled buckle, either large
or small. This will rest upon a bow
or rosette of satin, and will be of many
quaint and odd designs.

LEATHER NECKTIEs. 4
They Look Very Much Like a Belt fes
DolIy's Waist.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal
LOUISVILLE, Ky. NEW YORK, N. 2.

They Look Very Much Like a Belt Hsg
Dolly's Waist.
Although the sign on the card reads
Leather Neckties" there is nothing
about these natty little affairs to sug-
gest a tie. On the contrary, they look
very much like leather belt for dolly's
waist. They are, in fact, miniature
belts, made on exactly the same style,
with the harness buckles and side
straps complete. They are Of black
patent leather, the buckles covered with
tho same, or of white morocco finish,
with nickel buckle. They match the
waist belts in every particular, and
might be called a neck belt with pro-
priety.
They are as narrow as the narrowest
string ties, and extremely neat in APP
pearance. They never come united,
and do not need to be pinned to keep
the bow straight. They always stay
put" as the saying goes The only
danger is that my lady will not be salts
fled with this neat little arrangement,
but will want to make change soon
for a wider and heavier affair, which
will eventually lead to her appropri-
ating her cherished Fido's collar.

During the annual meeting of the
National Woman's Suffrage Associa-
ton. held in Brooklyn, Mrs Carrie
Lane Chapman Gait, chairman of the
Committee of Organization, ~ A. w.
S. A., said to a reporter that England
was getting far ahead of America in
the extension of political liberty to
women.
The Parliament of England" she
said, has just conferred municipal
suffrage upon single women and Wild
ows of Ireland, upon substantially the
same terms as men. Municipal suffrage
was granted to the women of England
in 1869, and was so successful in its
operation that in 1881 it was extended
to the women of Scotland. Now, after
20 years of satisfactory experience in
England and II years in Scotland, it
is extended to the women of Ireland.
Full suffrage, including the Parla-
mentary vote, was conferred upon the
women of the Isle of Man in 1880, to
the women of New Zealand in 1898
and in 1894 the same privilege was ex-
tended to the women of South Aus
tralia.
