WON'T BE MODIFIED.
The Philippine Terms Will Remain
Unchanged-Reply to Claims of
Spain Is Made.

Paris, Nov. 10.-Wednesday's session
of the peace commission began at 2:15
p. m. and ended at three p. m. When
the meeting opened the Americans pre-
scented to their Spanish colleagues the
answer of the United States to the
claims submitted on Friday last in be-
half of Spain. The document in which
the American answer was set forth con-
sisted of nearly so sheets of typewriter
matter. It was refutation of the Span
ish allegation that because the words
possession" Ownership" or 'cession"
do not occur in the protocol clause
touching upon the Philippine islands,
the peace commissions have no right to
discuss them here, and that even if they
did so it must be in the light of the al
legged fact of an exterior agreement that
Spain's sovereignty should not be i'm
paired
The Americans also answered SPANS
claim for the restitution to her of pub
lie money and customs collections taken
by United States officials since the
capitulation 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 subse-
quent restraint from being of service
to Spain in the suppression of the in
surrection and the preservation OF
property.
The American commissioners held
that there was justification, under the
terms of the protocol, for the discussion
of the future of the Philippine islands
and they also claim that the occupation
Of Manila is a military occupation,
which justifies the United States in col
Letting the revenues, administering the
government and exercising all the
functions of possession.
The joint session was short because
Senior Montero Rios and Judge Day
ccncurred in the services of the Amer
lean rejoinder upon the Spanish COM

SAM JONES ON WAR

We agree with Sam Jones on tho war

think there will be war and then again
we think there will not be any war.

says about war apart from his opiuion
as to whether or not there will be war.
Here is what he says:
| do not believe We will have wo,

without war. We dare not ask moro

tackle the United States for? General

The American people, thrt
Is those who live in this part OF the

And those who are wanting war de-

that our people are not willing to de-
fend their country or protect its honor
even with force Of arms. There are no
trner or more patriotic people any

TROUBLE AT THE CITADEL.


We regret the trouble ut the Citadel
Academy which has resulted in tho on
pulsion OF Ga cadets from tho inst IT,
tiOn.
The board OF visitors could have done
no less. One Of the main features of II
military school is obedience to authori-
ty, and these young men were In open
rebellion and had proposed to take
things in their own hands We regret
it wo say on account OF the young mon
themselves, rs well as on account OF the
Institution. Many Of these young men
would have graduated iii II few wGoks.
They will regret this before many
years 1t is bud for the institution
there, for it has had much opposition
in the State, and this may aggl ayatc it,
though we hope it will not. While we
have thought the State was top heavy
in her educational structure, yet VIC
have never wanted to pull do:r. We
rather build up, and we hope we may
be able to see all the institutions Of
learning in the State prosper.
Now as to the young men who were
in rebellion and were in consequence
expelled, we think they had some pro.
vocation, rs we understand the fucts.
They are, briefly: Five young men
slipped ont con rary to orders and al
tended social function in the city,
managing to cvadc the officer on duty.
Young Cantcy, who was not on duty
and had nothing to do with reporting
them, found out about it and made it
his duty to report them. Tho young
men say ne was actuatcd by spite.
That makes no difference. as the
young men understood, he made it his
business to make Il report, which was no
part Of his duty. That inccrscd Il large
portion 0! the cadets, for it is part of
the unwritLcn law that one student
should not report another, unless fail
urc to do so would be neglect OF duty.
In other words, they regarded the ac-
tion OF Cadet Cantey the act of spy
Tho five young men who attended the
city function were suspended. We say
regarding Cadet Cantcy's act in this
light the cadets were excused for be-
coming indignant. In our schcol days
and even rs Il teacher, We did not re-
gard very highly the boy who was al
ways telling on his fcllow-studcnts
when it was not his duty to do so. But
these young gentlemen carried their
Indignation too far. Granting their
statement OF the case to be correct,
they could have made it very unpleas-
ant for Cadet Cantcy without going to
the extent they did. There was no
doubt about the five young men having
dlsohcycd the rules by going to the
o!!y. Cadet C"ntey could have been
made to suffer for making the rcporS
they claim he made as no part of his
official duty without attempting to take
the law in their own hands and putting
him bodily, by force of arms, out of the
citadel. They went so far as to force
the officers OF the academy to call in
the city police TO quic, the disturbance.
1t was shameful proceeding. We
are glad to see it denied that any of
them were under the influence of H.
QuOr.
We arc sorry it has happened and
hope it will not injurc tho institu-
tion.

Senator Mower has been a life long
