CENTRAL PACIFIC DEBT.
Blanket Mortgage of Sis, O0O, 900 Talk,
ed of to Refund 1t.

San Francisco, Oct. 19.-The Evening
Bulletin says that Isaac ReQua, presi-
dent. and William Thompson, secretary
of the board of directors of the Central
Pacific railroad. will leave for the east
today for the purpose of arranging for
a blanket mortgage covering the entire
bonded Indebtedness of the road,
amounting to in the neighborhood Of
Sis. 900, 900.
The plan is to consolidate all the
bonds and other debts. but the exact
mode of procedure has not yet been
determined. but it is understood that
a number of English bankers or a New
York concern will be selected to make
the deal. which is undertaken. so the
papers say, to offset the efforts of the
English stockholders, headed by the
Morshead committee. toward the reor-
ganization of the road.

to request a postponement of any fur
Their conferences until Friday next. A
courteous reply was returned by Secre-
tary Moore, in behalf of the American
commissioners. granting an extension
of the time of the next meeting, as re-
quested.
While the deferring of any one con-
ference for two days is in itself not an
important request, the delay by the
Spaniards at this juncture is something
than significant. The game OF
diplomacy now progressing here has
reached a stage which makes
it necessary that the next
move be made by the Spanish
commission. They are confronted by
the plain fact of their protocol agree
ment to %relinquish and evacuate Cuba
without "ifs," lands" or butts"
1t has become clear here that the
Spaniards cherished the hope that they
could Internationally covenant to fol-
low a given path and ultimately wan
der elsewhere and do less or more than
named in the protocol compact. The
American commissioners. however.
have firmly adhered to the boundary
lines already mutually established and
within which they insist the Spaniards,
as well as themselves, shall duly pro-
coed.
1t is not too much to say that Spain
now has more light than ever before OF
the integrity and steadfastness in word
and purpose of the United States. Nor
is it wide of fact to say that the Span
iards are now initially approaching that
the United States did not make war OF
Spain t o acquire Cuba as a conquest
prize.

General Merritt expects to hurry from
Paris in time to meet the boat. The
ceremony will be performed in Lon

Williams, few Of the details had been
arranged before the hour OF sailing.
After the wedding takes place the
plans Of General Merritt will depend
entirely on the course Of events with
the peace commission and the action
of the war department in Washington.
All that is definitely known in Chi

his bride to await the completion of the
negotiations. Both General Merritt
and Miss Williams have a large ac-

CHAPLAIN'S FATE SEALED.
Findings and Dismissal Verdict of Nc
lntyre Courtmartial Approved.

New York. Oct. IA special to the
Herald from Washington, d. c., says:
Secretary Long has approved the
findings Of the court which tried and
sentenced Chaplain J. p. Mcintyre to
dismissal from the naval service for
criticisms he made of the conduct of
Rear Admiral Sampson and Captain
r. d. Evans in the battle Of Santiago,
July 3.
The matter will be brought to at
tention of President Mckinley i'm
mediately upon his return to Washing
ton. and it is expected thai official will
take action upon it without delay.
1t has been the expectation of Off
cials of the department that influence
would be eXerted upon Secretary Long
to secure a modification of the sem
tence as finally imposed, but it can be
stated upon authority that no such
pressure has been brought to bear upon
Secretary Long.
If influence is to be eXerted upon any
n having jurisdiction in the case it
ly recommended hiatt Chaplain Nc
Intyre be dismissed.
The facts are such, however. that
there was nothing for the court to do,
the ~atiicials say, other than to impose
the extreme penalty and after an ex-
haustive review Secretary Long is on
WINGED of its justice and has according
ly recommended that Captain Mcintyre
be dismissed.
