MILLIONS At STAKE.
Progress OF the Philippines Negotiations
ut Paris.


Washington, Nov. s.-The adyices
that have come to hand so far from
the commission at Paris are said TO
be rather encouraging han the reverse
and there Is a disposition here to
agree to the statement rather curiously
made by the Spanish cabinet yesterday
that there will be three or four more
meetings OF the joint commission. This
is taken as an indication that the Span
iards themselves are not looking for a
break In the negotiations. but they
rather expect a peaceful conclusion
In a short time. The foreign bondhold-
ers at last moved formally TO protect
their interests In Cuba Inc Porto Rico.
The initial steps have been AXE
through the agency OF the French en-
bassy. which in this case acts no lon
ger as the representative OF the Span
ish government. but for French sub
jects. Through the embassy a most for
midable statement has been presented
10 the state department. being an ac-
count OF the various Spanish bonds
owned by French citizens chargeable
against the territories either seized or
set free by the act OF the United States
government. The sum total OF the
bonds uns far into the millions. Just
what IL Is expected shall be lone with
them is not clear. The United States
government. OF course. will not pay
them. nj IL may be that the French
government looks to II to cause the
Independent government OF Cuba to as
sumo liability for the redemption OF
the bonds charged against the island
when that government shall have been
duly installed by the act of the United
States

Great Britain's position in Egypt Is
the same now as IL was before the fall
OF Omdurman. butawe earnestly hope
that circumstances will not make IL
necessary materially to modify that
position. as we are convinced the world
would lot then get on 30 peaceably as
now"
Referring again to the war prepara-
lions and asking his hearers TO look at
the state OF the world. Lord Salisbury
observed; The ear has invited a
congress to provide for the disarma-
ment of the world. but while we offer
our heartiest tribute to his motives
n are willing to assist and smypa-
thize in every way until the happy day
when his aspirations are crowned with
success, We u still provide precau-
tons needful to counteract the dangers
surrounding US. In some respects this
era, tbs great epoch in the history of
man. is marked by unhappy omens. Ii
is the first yea in which the mighty
force of the American republic has been
introduced among nations whose do
m Mons are expanding and whose in
Etruments. 10 a certain extent. are war.
Il am not implying the slightest
blame. Far from IL. | am not refusing
sympathy to the American republic in
the difficulties through which IL has
passed: but no one can deny that its
appearance among factors Asiatic. at
all events. and possibly in European
diplomacy. Is a grave and serious event
which may not adj to the inter-
ests Of peace. though I think in any
event IL is likely to conduce to the in
terests of Great Britain tcheers).
But what Is impressed upon us. IL
hat the subject matter OF war is ter
ribly prevalent on all sides. We see ma
tions decaying, whose government Is so
bad that IL can neither maintain the
power OF self-defense or retain the af-
fect1on of its subjects. and when :hls
occur there are always n%eighbors i'm
PEELED by some motive-it may be that
highest philanthropy or IL may be the
natural desire Of empire-to contest as
to who shall be heir to the falling ma
ton; and that II the cause OF war"
Lord Salisbury then alluded to the
rapidity and unexpectedness with
which wars break out, and said: IF
Great Britain u ever permit her
defenses to weaken. her whole empire
would come Gathering to the ground.
IL Is, therefore, impossible in the pres
ent state and temper of the world 10
intermit u naval and military pre-
cautions"
He concluded by "%repudiating all sug-
gestion that u preparations mean
that h country is animated by the
lust OF conquest or a love OF war; de-
claring that Great Britain was only
resolved to maintain the empire Brit
ons have received from their forefath-
ers and to support the peace which Is
the glory and ~sustenance OF our en-
pire."
A great ovation from the entire as
sembly marked the conclusion of the
premier's speech.

ANSWER TO THE CLAIMS
It Il o Refutstion to the Span
ish Contentious.
MET IN A JOINT SESSION
justification Under the Terms OF the
Protocol for Discussion OF tie Phil
ippines-The Occupation
OF Manila.

Paris. Nov. 9.-To-day's session OF the
peace commissions began at ais p. m.
and ended at Q p. m. When the meeting
opened tho Americans presented their
Spanish colleagues the answer Of the
United States to the claims submitted on
Saturday last on behaif Of Spain. ihe doc
ument in which the American answer was
set forth consisted OF nearly 50 sheets OF
typewriter matter. II was a refutation
OF the Spanish allegation that because the
words possessions" ownership OF GEES
sion" do not occur in the protocol clause
touching upon the Philippines. the peace
commissions have no right 20 discuss
them here. and that even II they did so
II must be in the light Of the alleged fact
Of an exterior agreement that SPANS
sovereignty should be impaired.
The Americans also answered SPANS
claim for the restitution OF her public
moneys and customs collections taken by
the United States officials since the ca
pitulation OF Manila. and made reply to
SPANS claim for an indemnity on account
Of the alleged Imprisonment by United
States authorities OF Spanish troops Of
Manila. and for their subsequent restraint
from being of service TO Spain In the sup
preston of.the insurrection and the pres
iNdAiph VI BfbBtEtl
The American commissioners In their re-
ply held that there was justification, I'M
der the terms OF the protocol. for the dis
cussion OF the future of the Philippine is
lands. and they also claimed that the oc-
cupation OF Manila is "A military occupa-
ton. which ~justines the United States In
collecting the revenues. administering the
government and exercising all the func-
lions OF possession.

which would occupy many columns I'm an
ordinary newspaper. and an adjournment
was taken until Saturday.
IL Is quite safe to say that the Ameri-
cans have made no propositions regarding
the question Of the Philippines. but con-
fined themselves to a discussion of the
proposals and assertions which were
made by Spain at the previous meeting.
Just what were the terms OF the Ameri-
can rejoinder cannot. of course. be ascer-
tanned. But. despite persistent assertions
here to the contrary. there In no ground.

The market aside from these negotiations
has been fairly active, especially on terri
tories, which are more sought for than
any other line of domestic woods.
The tone of the market. so far as prices
are concerned. Is now quite steady on the
basis OF prices given last week. II is a
mistake TO suppose that there is any de-
moralization I'm the wool market. or hat
n great slump In values has occurred.
The sales of the week In Boston amount
to $500 900 pounds domestic and 100. 500
pounds foreign. making a total of $3.50. 800
