posse, has just returned to Canyon
City with a report of a desperate fight
which occurred between the whites and
a renegade band of Indians. The 10
white men and five buck warriors were
about 30 feet apart when the battle be-
gan. George Cuttings, son of David
Cuttings, received a ball in the left
arm, the missile passing through his
lungs. One of the Indians, who was
shot and killed, fought with desperate
courage. After being repeatedly shot, he
continued firing his rife until it was
empty, then fired his revolver until the
muzzle dropped so low that the bullets
struck the ground mean the dying red
Sims side. George Cuttings, after re-
ceiving a wound started, in company
with NJ Mozier, for lee, near the
scene Of the trouble. The wounded
man became so weak that he was left
near the trail. DroDoed up against
tree. When the searching party went
to look for Cuttings, they found his
dead body near a spring, where he had
crawied. The posse continued in pur-
suit, and after a running battle killed
all sve Indians. Settlers have sent TO
Canyon City for more ammunition,
stating that the Indians are gathering
around Lee in large numbers. The
trouble arose over the Indians accus-
ing the whites of stealing horses.

Paris, Oct 27.-The Spanish peace
commissioners have accepted the mega
tive view of the United States commits
sioners toward the proposed assump-
ton by the United States of the Cuban
debt. The American commissioners
have firmly, but courteously. declined
to assume for the United States the
entire or Joint responsibility for the
Spanish financial conditions, and the
Spanish commissioners have finally
abandoned the effort and have agreed
that the Cuban article of the protocol
SHALL without conditions, have place
in the ultimate treaty OF peace 1t was
not until Monday that they became
actually convinced that the Americans,
who had from the outset made re-
fusal to accept the Cuban debt, meant
exactly what they said.
In spite of the fact that the Spanish
commissioners had as a background OF
their efforts doubts of succeeding, their
hope of so doing has been so keen and
their contention has been so vigorous
Iy prosecuted that the final conviction
of their inability to win their point
brought the Spaniards such a shock
and depression that, consistently with
these dispatches at the time, there were
grave doubts as to the continuance of
the negotiations. In support of these
statements is the fact that Senior Mon
terO Rios, after Mondays session, and
on Tuesday last, would have resigned
the presidency of the Spanish peace
commission had he not believed that
his doing so may have grievOusly
shaken. if it had not unSeated, Senior
Sagasta'S government. From this
standpoint, if for no other reason. Sc
nor Montero Rios maintained his posi-
ton, and at yesterdays session, acting
under the conviction arrived at on
Monday, the Spaniards announced that
they would forego further argument
on the Cuban debt, and agreed that
practically in the terms and absolutely
in the spirit of the protocol. the article
about Cuba should go forward into the
final treaty.
Thus Spain agrees to relinquish SOW
ereignty over any claim to Cuba, with
out either terms or conditions. All
differences, if any existed, regarding
Puerto Rico and the selection of the
island of Guam were also arranged by
a mutual understanding, and the COM
found themselves well-nigh
touching the Philippine question, which
viii be taken up next week.
It should be said that the adjust
ments already accomplished will stand
in the final treaty unless opposing
views and positions on the Philippine
question should develop hereafter and
bring to naught the efforts of the fu-
ture, and at the same time The results
already obtained.

AMERICAN CONCESSION.
Will Guarantee Security Of Life and
Property In Cuba.

Washington, Oct. 27.-The intimation
conveyed by the American commission
ers to the Spanish commissioners at
Mondays session of the peace confer
ence at Paris that the position Of the
United States with respect to Cuba and
the Cuban debt could not be regarded
as subject to change, and that, conse-
quently, the American commissioners
were ready TO proceed with the conSid-
eratiC-l OF other questions under the
protocol, the Paris advices show, had
a decided effect. The one concession as
to Cuba that our commissioners Will
make viii be TO guarantee for the
United States that life and property
shall be secure in Cuba. This resDon-
sibility the United States will assume
only until such a time as a stable gov
eminent shall be formed and be oper-
alive in Cuba. There will be no per
petuaI guarantee on this score.
Undue significance has been attach
ed to the dispatch of a special messen-
ger from Washington yesterday to the
president at Philadelphia
AS a vital stage had been reached, 1t
was thought advisable not to delay I'M
til the presidents return, and so As
sistant Secretary Cridle's confidential
clerk was sent to Philadelphia with the
daily report.
1t is expected that the commission
ers will now take up the subject of the
Philippines. The American commits
sioners have given this subject much
attention. but so far it has never as
Deared before the joint commission,
save in the shape of one Spasmodic ef-
fort, made by the Spaniards at the very
beginning Of the sessions, to have the
United States abandon Manila as
precedent to further negotiations on the
subject of the Philippines.
The American commissioners, among
other things, have been looking into
the subject of the Philippine debt,
about which there is much ignorance
at this end of the line. 1t is unlikely
that the same rule will be applied to
that debt as was insisted upon relative
to the Cuban debt. In other words, II
the United States annexes the PhiliO-
pines, which seems now TO be the log
zeal outcome of the situation, it might
be reasonably contended that at least
so much of the debt as represent mon-,
eys expended for the Improvement Of
the island should pass to the United
States with the title.

pass in review before him. 1t was mil
ltary and naval day of the great Peace
Jubilee. Twenty-Five thousand men
marched in the most brilliant and spec
tacular pageant the country has wit
messed in many years. In a semi-cir-
cular enclosure of the big reviewing
stand, in the magnificent court of
honor, the president stood erect and
uncovered throughout the entire pro-
cession. As the legions marched past
his face was set, but not stern, and in
his eyes was a CLEAN of satisfaction.
From his steadfast gaze one might
have fancied him listening to sounds
other than those which struck on the
common ear-sounds of deeper import.
telling the meaning of this glfttering
panorama. Behind those martial tunes
he might have heard the music of con-
and the dying shrielss of a decadent
people But over these and louder he
might have heard paens Of praise from
a helpless infant nation, lifted out of
servitude and cruelty by the work of
the embattled hosts. The central mo-
tive of it was pride OF the men and
their work, and the nation of which
they are. This was the true signif-
canoe of the event. Here and there.
when some particularly renowned body
of troops marched by, the president
pleasantly waved his hat and motioned
the crowds across the way to cheer.

Lloyd Also Speaks a Few Interesting
Lines.

Chairman Eichnor of the county com
mittee yesterday announced that the
Republicans will carry this county. He
bases this assertion on the canvass
which has been made under the direc-

Illinois Coal Operators Object to Gov

Chicago, Oct. 27-The Tribune tomor-

Illinois interested in the Virden situa-
ton are preparing a petition to be pre-
sented soon in one of the United States
courts for an injunction to prevent
Governor Tanner from interfering with
the importation of laboTers to take the
places of men formerly employed at
the seat of trouble. The present step
is deemed necessary by those about to
take it, because, as they say, the gov
ernor has reiterated his determination
to forcibly keep out imported labor, and
because all efforts at an adjustment by
arbitration have failed.
