E.CUBA ALREADY SETTLED i
American Commissioners Contend That
the Terms of the Protocol De-
cided the Matter.

PARIS. Oct. 1.-THE American ana
Spanish peace commissions closed their
first two weeks of labor here Satu rday.
and the progress made has been chiefly
by negative action and the attitude of
the Americans.
The first article of the protocol pro-
vided that ''Spain will relinquish all
claim Of sovereignty over and title to
Cuba"
The Americans opened their case by
the assumption that little or no action
was necessary regarding Cuba, on the
ground that its disposition was def
nitely fixed by the terms of the proto-
col.
Whether the Americans decline any
Spanish obligation on account of Cuba
none in Paris save those who were pres
ent know Whatever may have trans
PRED at Fridays session, whether the
Spaniards were or were not advised
that the United States declines to as
sumo the Cuban debt, it may be dis
tinctly said that with such light as it
now has the United States commission
will consistently and to the end refuse
to assume all or any part of the Cuban
debt.
It may be fatty affirmed that United
States tenure of the Philippines will be
held not to be limited to the date Of the
contamination of the peace treaty, but
that the United States tenure and the
relation of both Spain and the United
States to the Philippines are to be ex-
actly determined in and by the treaty
now being formulated by the joint COM
mission. fstsk ZIG ~

Additional Details of the Firing From
Moro Castle.

Key West, Fla, April 24-The first
shot from Spain was fired last night,
when Morro Castle opened it's batteries
on the United States fleet. This news
was brought here by the torpedo Ericc-
son.
Capt. Usher of the Ericsson says his
boat was ordered out early last night
on scout duty. The fleet was flying
about eight miles off Havana.
The lights were out and all hands
were ready for action. The little craft
headed quickly towards the enemy and
brought up almost under Morro's guns,
being enabled to reach such a close
point because for the first time in
years Moro light was then burning.
At IL p. m. the Spanish artillery
roared out it's first welcome to the
American fleet.
The fire was done more in a tentative
way than as an attack.
Not a shot found billet, and the
American fleet disdaining Spain's S
wretched gunnery, maintained digni-
fed silence.
Before the firing began, a newspa-
per despatch boat which had lost it's
bearings in the cloudy night, got with
in three miles of MOrro Castle and be-
fore she knew her whereabouts the boat
found Morro firing on her She was
saved by the unskilled Workmanship
of the Havana gunners, getting away
unharmed and eventually bringing up
with the fleet.
Havana had not been bombarded up
to the time the Ericsson left The Squa-
dron lay spread out in line about
eight miles long, maintaining the block
ade.
According to the proclamation, the
ships of neutral powers are allowed to
pass in and out.
A third capture was made this morn
ing at dawn however when the Erfcc-
son caught a little Spanish two-masted
fishing schooner, carrying crew OF
five men. The torpedo boat had no
prize crew to put aboard, so she chased
her to the fleet and tied her up along
side the Cincinnati
Captain Luzarraga, of the Buena
Ventura, declares his vessel is not sub
ject to capture by the United states,
holding that she is owned by an Eng
lish firm, was bound for neutral ports
and that war had not been declared
when she sailed. Her crew is still on
board the Dolphin, but those of the
Pedro, remain on the latter.

PIGEONS FOR WARSHIPS.
Birds of the National Fanciers' Asso-
citation at Our Service.

Baltimore, Nd. April 25.-The Nation
al Association of American Homing Pig
con Fanciers of the United States,
whose headquarters are in this city, has
offered it's pigeons, numbering 40, 900
birds, to the secretary of the navy for
use in case of war, as a means of COM
munication between warshipS at sea
and the government.
Edwin A. F. Baker, president of the
association, says that the birds are al
ready being put into training, and in
short time will have recovered from the
winter stiffness and be ready for act
i've service.
In event of war with Spain OF any
other maritime nation a great cause
of anxiety in official circles will be diff
ficulty of communicating with the war
ships or squadrons at sea out of reach
of telegraph and in the places where
sending of dispatch boats will be i'm
practicable.
Means of communicating naval bat
tie or other important information by
established methods under such clrcum-
stances would be totally lacking, and
the naval officers and the government
might be placed in a dilemma on TINS
account.
The only known method of communi-
eating between such unconnected points
is by pigeons. BY this means the result

Nashville, have an Office here. They
declare that her cargo is not worth
more than $4,000 and they add that the
steamer should have been further on
her way across the Atlantic than the
spot where she was captured
1t is conjectured therefore that she
was intercepted sometime before the
time of her capture. Many Liverpool
steamship owners have instructed their
agents to avert shipping contraband of
war, and have ordered their captains
to instantly comply with the commands
of any war vessels they may meet and
to make no attempt to escape.
