Spaniards to BE Informed at the Out
set that Uncle Sam VIII Insist
on All He Has Asked.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The State De-
partment tonight gave out the following
statement concerning the discussion be-
tween the members of the Cabinet and
the peace commission to-day:
1.-THE members of the peace commission,
with the exception of Senator Gray whose
absence was due to his inability to with
draw as counsel in case in which he was
engaged some time before his appointment
as one of the peace commissioners, have
spent the greater part of yesterday and to-
day in free discussion of the duties with
the discharge of which they have been in
trusted by the President. Senator Gray is
expected during the evening, and before
sailing, will have a full conference with the
President and his associates.
while for obvious reasons it was deter
mined that the nature of the instructions
as to the negotiations about to be entered
upon should for the present be kept secret,
and made known only after definite results
shall have been reached, it is possible to
state authoritatvely that the commission
goes to Paris fully prepared to follow a
course of action mapped out for it as the
result of the consultations of the last two
days. At the very outset it will be made
clear TO the Spanish commissioners that as
in the case of the preliminary protocol,
there can be no deviation from or modihca-
ton OF the demands made by the United
States. The decision arrived at by the
President, after a full consultation with the
members of the commission, subsequently,
received the cordial and unanimous ap.
proval of the Cabinet at a meeting held
this afternoon"

LONDON, Sept. 16.-The Manila corre-
spondent of the Times, telegraphing Thurs
day, says: Il am the only foreign journalist
present at the insurgent Congress at Ma
lolos, which has been selected as the tenn
pcrary capital of the revolutionary govern
ment. Early in the forenoon Aguinaldo ac-
companied by large staff of generals and
ministers, moved in state from the con-
vent now occupied his military head
quarters, passing between lines of infantry
ard through streets decorated with palms
and banners and packed with thousands of
peasants in holiday dress, to the church,
half a mile distant. Here he was received
by the Assembly delegates and conducted to
a platform in the chancel, from which he
delivered a brief message in the Tagalon
language, afterward repeating it in Span
ish. The substance of the message was
mostly congratulatory on the happy termi-
nation of the revolution and the complete
conquest of the territory. He made flow
cry appeal to the delegates, asking them,
by the memory of the illustrious
patriots Of Philippine history, to
follow the example of England,
America and France in preparing a consti-
tuition and promulgating laws to secure the
complete and permanent liberty of the peo-
pie of the Philippines. The message ex-
cited but little enthusiasm, because it was
absolutely noncommittal.
THE Assembly then proceeded imrnedi-
ately to organize. preparatory to a discus
sion on the proposed constitution and code
Of laws and the election of a President
The absence of several of the most prom
inent and influential natives was particu-
larly noticeable. as indicating an intention
to hold aloof until the policy of the Con-
gress is fully declared. A strong party, in
toXicated by the present measure of sue
cess favors opposition to any foreign pro-
tectorate, being confident that the people
can govern themselves. Wiser counselors
strenuously oppose such suicidal policy.
Apparently unanimity now exists only in
the determination to free the islands for
ever from Spanish rule. This is the uni
versal feeling, and it will probably prove
the controlling power in determining the
final action of the Congress"

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Members of the
battery declined to discuss the charges that
the commissioned officers while In Porto
Rico drank to excess. One of the men said
that the Rev. II. L. Henderson, pastor of
the Third Christian Church, of Indianapo-
lis, who is a private in the battery had
been deprived of certain privileges because
of sermon he preached in ChickamaIga
in which he criticised the habits Of some
OF the commissioned officers.
Quartermaster Sergeant Robert Oliver &C.
clined to discuss any of the charges against
his superiors. He was outspoken and very
emphatic, however, on the question of the
treatment of the members of the battery on
the transport which carried them to Porto
Rico. THAT vessel was simply vile,' he
said, land it was not short of a crime to
send soldiers anywhere in it. 1t had been
cattle steamer, and had not been cleaned,
board floors having been laid over the filth
The odors were sickening and the food
served US was miserable. In many in
. stances it was so bad that it had maggots
in it. If the men of this battery had not
been in good physical health there would
certainly have been deaths to lay at the
door of the persons who were responsible
supplying such food. Our officers were not
to blame for those hardships. however. The
men placed the blame for that suffering on
the shoulders of Captain Rigley. who was
Quartermaster on the transport Roumania,
which took US to Porto Rico. We Jared
much better coming home. We had some
food supplies Of our own, purchased with
funds sent US by the ladies' auxiliary at
home. Our quarters in the ship which
were in the hold of the transport, aft. were
not comfortable, however. We had such
rough weather all the way coming back
that portfolios had to be kept closed nearly
all the time, and, of course, that prevented
the fresh air from reaching our quarters,
with the result that many if not most of
the men preferred to sleep on deck
Private Joe Haspell was another MEM
ber Of the battery who thought the men
had been outrageously treated on the trip
to Porto Rico. He accused Captain Rigley
of heartlessness and cruelty, and said that
the captain had ordered sailors and men,
bers of the transports crew who were shar-
ing their food with the soldiers to stop do
ing so Private Haspel was kicked by a
horse shortly after he arrived in Porto
Rico, and was in the hospital for about
three weeks He spoke in the highest terms
OF the treatment he received at the hands
of the natives, and said that on several &C.
casions, while he was travelling in an am
bulance along the route of the invading
army. natives came out into the road and
gave him glass of cool milk or some
tasty article of food. Private Haspell has
not yet entirely recovered from his injury,
and still has painful, sore on his leg. He
is fit for service, however.

great interest the discussion Of the Sara
toga conference and was sure that they had
done great good throughout the country,
especially commencing the committee for
having given so fair a hearing to both sides
and for having been able to agree on reso-
Iutions. The President, in closing a five

TO REINFORCE DEWEY.
The Oregon and Iowa Under Orders
tn Proceed to Manila.

NEW YORK, Sept. ia special to the
Herald from washington says: Secretary
OF the Navy Long stated last night that the
Oregon and Iowa are under orders to pro-
ceed to Manila via Honolulu 10 reinforce
Rear Admiral Dewey's command. In direct
ing them 10 touch at Honolulu the authori-
ties were actuated by two motives-the first
to put them in a central position where
they could be available for any duty in the
Pacific which might be considered desirable
and the second because they did not care to
send reinforcements to Rear Admiral Dewey
before the armistice between the United
States and Spain expired 1t is expected in
official circles that the battle ships and the
five colliers. which will accompany them,
will be ready to sail by Monday next. The
ships viii not waste any time in making
the voyage. They will make few stops and
these only to coal and communicate with
the department.
While believing there will be no interna-
tional developments to change the pro-
gramme the authorities do not propose to
be in such position that they cannot modi-
fy the instructions TO the vessels in case
of necessity and it is for this reason they
are 10 touch at certain points TO report and
receive orders. The dispatch of the colliers
with the battle ships is due to the desire
of the authorities TO keep them so well sup
piled with coal that If it becomes necessary
10 change the course of the ships and send
them TO Samoa or by short cut TO Manila
they can make the voyage without difIi-
Guilty.
80 far as Germany is concerned the au-
thorities say there is nothing in her attitude
to cause the belief that she proposes to in
terfere with any disposition of the Philip
pines this government may see fit TO make.
1t is appreciated. however, that II will be
the part OF wisdom for the United States

This morning members of the commission
visited the government pawn shop to buy
pledged goods, but they were informed that
these were only sold once a month at auc-
ton. The next sale will take place on Oct.

mission expect to attend it in force, as
possibly it will be the last sale of the kind,

MADRID, Sept. 15.-The Queen Regent
presided at the Cabinet council to-day.
Senior Sagasta, the premier, outlined the
situation, and said that the government had
received no reply from Washington to its
request for the repatriation of Spaniards in

Manila, one-third of the prisoners of Gen.
Aguinaldo have died of bad treatment. The
peace commissioners will be appointed to-
morrow. HNt
The Queen Regent pays daily visits to the
sick soldiers who have returned from the
colonies. She has ordered that the con-
valescents be conveyed in the royal car
riages to the Casa del Campo, in Royal
Park, and is paying from her own purse for
proper food for the invalids. The corre-
spondent here of the Associated Press has
conversed with officers, invalids and others
who have returned from Santiago. They
all extol the kindness of the Americans
after the surrender. They do not display
