POSITIVE
For Our Peace Commission as TO the
Philipines-SpaIn's Efort to Retain

Washington, November 12.-The
cabinet held a special session tonight
at which instructions, understood TO
be of a positive character bearing on
the Philippine question, were drafted
for dispatch to the American commits
sioners in Paris, these instructions
were the outcome of the conference
held early in the day, and instruct the
American representatives to admit of
no further discussion as to the right
to consider the disposition Of the is
lands, and state that on the point the
instructions already sent must stand,
the only matter for discussion from the
American view being the manner of
giving over the islands.
Paris, November 12.-It is now be-
lieved that the next meeting Of the
peace commissioners may be postpon-
ed until Tuesday through no definite
decision has been arrived at on the
subject.
The Spanish commissioners are still
busily engaged in the preparation or
the documents which they Will submit
at the next session Of the commissions
and it is understood that their presen-
tation will cover matters which render
their careful preparation unusually
important.
Some of the original papers and
transcript necessary for the next
presentation of SPANS case will prob
ably not arrive here until too late on
Monday to permit of a meeting that
day which, of course would necessl-
tate the pOstpOnement of the meeting
OF the commission until Tuesday.
Spain has held and may still insist
that she effectual reserved her Philip
pine sovereignty from discussion or
disturbance by the United States in a
note from Duke AlmodOvar de Rio, the
Spanish minister Of foreign affairs, to
Judge Day, the then United States sec
rotary of state, dated Madrid, on Au-
gust 18th. 1t is by this message that
Spain presumably accepted the terms
of peace which, at SPANS request had
been set forth by President Mckinley
through Secretary Day, under date Of
July Goth. Ard it is by this message
of Duke AlmOdOvar de Rio and by the
pom of Secretary Day that Spain
seek to prove to the United States
peace commission and to the tribunal
of nations that SPANS sovereignty
over the Philippine islands, was reserv-
ed from any discussion here and with
out protests from the United States.

An interesting case came up before
Judge Clark at chambers this evening.
B. G.. Enniss and his son, Furman,
farmers living seventeen miles south
of here, were arrested for Selling the
tools of a convict force Of eighty men
which is grading the Raleigh and Cape
Fear railway and also for threatening
to kill the %convicts and their guards.
The Raleigh and Cape Fear railway
has a deed to the right Of way through
Enniss' land, and yesterday the con-
victs were at work there, grading, and
left their tools. This morning when
superintendent Bradshaw went back
to the place to resume work he was
met by Enniss and his son who, with
loaded shOtguns, forbade any Of them
to come any nearer. They had also
taken the tools and removed them.
Bradshaw did not do any work, but
marched his convict force back to
camp and then came here and arrang-
ed for a hearing.
The fact was developed that last

in Enniss' house. Enniss claimed he
did not know he had signed the deed,
but thought it was an option. He said
he wanted counsel and desired H. E.
Norris of Apex, who is counsel for the
Cape Fear and Northern. Counsel fol-
the Raleigh and Cape Fear, asserted
hat Enniss' action was inspired by

Judge Clark required Enniss to sur

day morning, owing to Enniss' request
for counsel. So the two men with
shotguns stopped the road building for
two days.

charge against Sergeant Perkins, who
killed his son-in-law, j. w. Newton,
Thursday night. County Attorney
Polsgrove made a statement that proof
showed that Newton betrayed his wife
before marrying her, and recently be-

Several Records Smashed in the
Prelimfnaries Yesterday

New York. May 27.-Threate tening wealth
er and q soggy turf and track did not in
terfere greatly with the preliminary
events in the twenty-third annual cham
pionship meeting of the intercollegiate
Athletic Association at Berkley Oval to-
day There was a large attendance TO
see the star athletes of Americas leading
colleges and their speed and stamina The
real struggle will come tomorrow, when
the finals will be decided Everything
points TO a signal triumph for the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania team with Har-
ward, Yale and other institutions fighting
pretty evenly for the next best places.
The Quakers have better talent than
year ago. when they carried off first hon
ors.
There were several sensational per-
formances. McCracken, the big Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania football guard. was
the bright star. He put the shot ~ feet
31-2 inches, which is eight inches less
than the best intercollegiate figures. and
at that the young giant did not extend
himself, as he says he will tomorrow.
In the hammer throw, however, Nc
be remembered by the people who saw
it. The best previous intercollegiate fig-
ures were 136 feet inches, credited to
Woodruff, of the University of Pennsvl-
vania, while the collegiate record was 135
feet IL inches. held by Hickok, of
Yale. McCracken wiped both of these
marks off the books with ease He hurI-
ed the hammer 146 feet, and the officials
were dumfounded. His next trial netted
149 feet inches. beating the best pre-
vious figures by 13 feet inches.
Prinzen, of Syracuse University. sprung
surprise too, when he made % feet 13-4
inches in the running broad jump. Kra-
enzlein, of the University of Pennsvlva
MIA, jumped % feet 11-2 inches. both
achievements surprising the best collegi-
ate record of % feet 1-2 inch, held by W.
B. Rogers, of Princeton, and the intercol-
legiate record of % feet II Ii inches. made
by Victor Mapes.
Dannemiller, Of Georgetown University.
established new figures ror the quarter
mile bicycle race, by sprinting the dis
tance in 81 20 seconds. the previous rec
ord being 80 1-5 seconds.
The absence of Wefers. the Georgetown
flyer, who has broken down, was gener-
ally regretted by the onlookers. but the
contestants themselves did not saw a
word
Cregan of Princeton, A Grant of the
University of Pennsylvania, and R. Grant
of Harvard. did so well in the half mile
run that the critics say they will divide
honors tomorrow.
With few exceptions the Harvard and
Yale men seemed to be inferior in ability
to former representatives of those univer-
stiles.
In the 100 yard dash, K. I. Cody, of
Georgetown University, ran second in the
fourth heat.
Fred. Schade, of Georgetown sS, won
the third heat of the half mile bicycle
race in Iii As seconds. NJ. McCutcheon
of Yale, was second. The third heat was
ruled out, however, and the men disquali-
fed for slow riding. The final heat was
won by Ray Dawson of Columbia, in
1:12 3-5.

THE BROOKLYN HANDICAP
Probable Starters in Today's
Big Turf Event.
ORNAMENT Is TaE FAVORITE E
He VIII Garry 127 Pounds and Sloan
VIII Pilot Him-Indications Are
That ut Least IA Dozen Horses
Will Face the Stnrter-Track in
Bad shape.

New York, May 27.-The sole topic
among horsemen is the Brooklyn Handi-
cap, which will be run tomorrow as the
fourth race on the opening program or
the Brooklyn Jockey Clubs Spring meet
ing. Fine weather is predicted. The con-
tinued wet weather that has prevailed up
TO this time, however, has left the track
in anything but satisfactory shape. To-
day it was very heavy and unless there
is a marked Improvement in the interval,
mud horses" will be in demand at
bugle call.
The handicap candidates were all out
today, either on the scene or at adjacent
tracks Fifteen horses were named at
the secretary's Office today, and the indi-
cations are that a dozen will go TO the
post. Howard Mann, with whom PITTS
burg Phil'' brought off coup last year,
is named as a doubtful runner. Sloan is
at present slated to pilot Ornament
Handball is a doubtful starter. The
Dwyer stable will be represented by Sly
Fox.
or the twelve that are expected to make
up the field, Ornament, the noted four
year-old, will carry the top weight of 127
pounds. Next in the estimation of the
Handicapped comes Ben Holiday. On
Deck, Tillo and DR.. Catlett. The last
three look like a formidable trio.
August Belmonts Don De Orc is in well
at 113 pounds and as he will have the as
sistance of Sims he should put up a good
race.
The imported horse Royal Stag. who
will carry the colors of II. S. Curtis, won
many admirers at Morris Park and will
probably remain loyal to him tomorrow.
Semper Ego and Merry Prince viii be the
second strings for Bromley & Company
and August Belmont respectively, and at
the weights they should help hit up the
pace considerably. 1t is thought that the
contenders will be picked from the fol-
lowing: Ornament (Sloan), 127 pounds:
Ben Holiday Dogget), 1H; On Deck

The stake is $4,000, the winner to get
S, 900; second. $500, and third, $500. The
distance Will be mile and a quarter.
Another feature on tomorrow's card
which promises to attract much atten-
ton is the Exposition Stakes. of $500.
The entries include dozen Of the best
youngsters in training, including Jean
Bereaud. Bereaud has 10 shoulder
winning penalty of seven pounds. which
raises his weight to 122 pounds, while the
others get in at lis. Among the others
are King Don Miller. Rhinelander. Coun-
sellor Weinberg and Duke of Middle
