States in offering such small in
demnity." They think that Japan or
some of the European powers would
have paid a higher price. There are
those who contend it would be better
to decline indemnity altogether, be-
cause the government could then de-
cline responsibility for the Philippine
debt.
There is much irritation at the apa-
thy of Europe. The Impartial says:
having himself written the protocol in
order to mislead Spain. This is adding
insult to injury Yet Europe looks on
undisturbed. All ideas of justice have

PUERTO RICO QUIET.
General Brooke Takes Measures to
Suppress the Disorders.

Washington, Nov. 22.-The war de-
partment has received a dispatch from
General Brooke about the reported dis
orders in the island of Puerto Rico. The
reports were of such a character as to
give the department some concern, as
it was alleged that United States troops
were making serious trouble for the
inhabitants of the island. General
Brooke was cabled for a statement of
the case and requested to make an in
vestigation. His reply is as follows:
Reports received daily from San Sc
bastian and other troublesome regions.
Disorders were reported from that part
of the island, but have it thoroughly
patrolled and am still patrolling it.
Everything quiet for three or four
weeks. Several bandits have been
killed or wounded by patrols. Reports
very much exaggerated. Every point
has been heard from today and quiet
and good order prevail"

it was the belief CT the members that
there would be at least one more meet
ing after tomorrow if the Spaniards
have decided to reject the American
proposal.
The cablegram said that a reply from
the Spanish commissioners to the latest
memorandum submitted by our COM
naissioners was expected at tomorrow s

reached here as to what the Spanish
reply would be. No doubt is enter
tanned among the members of the cab
inst that a treaty viii be signed within
