SPAIN HAS NO CHOICE
But to Yield to the Demands of Our
Peace Commission,


Peace Commission.
London, Nov. 1.-The Times editorial
ly this morning expresses its frank sat
isfaction at the decision of the United
States commissioners to take the Phil
ippines. 1t says:
1.-THE arrangement Is undoubtedly
the best that could be made both for
the inhabitants and for all interested
in the trade and progress of the far
east. Upon this point. as upon others,
Spain has no choice but to yield, since
her warmest partisans no longer MAIN
tain that she has either the means or
the wish to renew the war.
1.-THE same irresistible logic of facts
controls the question of the Cuban
debts. The United States can dictate
their own terms. At the same time
we are bound to draw attention to the
serious consequences of the policy upon
which the American delegates have In
sisted"
The editorial then proceeds to back
up the recent contention of Its Paris
correspondent. which argued that Spain
could only meet the Cuban debt by
sacrificing her foreign bondholders,
"who, by strange anomaly, would
thus have to pay for the independence
of Cuba"

New York, Aug. "a cable to the

After 4 sharp skirmish with 400
Spaniards, in which three Americans
were wounded, the town Of Guayama,
the principal point on the southeastern
coast of Porto Rico, was captured by
General Haines. Our men had to fight
their way through Spanish bullets In
order to get into the town, and they
were forced to repel IN attack made
by the Spaniards soon after the town
had fallen. This they did with marked
success, and the stars and stripes now
float over another American posses
sion.
All of the three Americans who
were wounded in the skirmish before
Guayama are in the Fourth Ohio reg
iment. John o. Cordner of Company
G was shot in the right leg below the
knee; C. W. Rifle Of Company A was
shot through both thighs, and w. Wal
