TRIES DIPLOMACY GAME.
Spain will Soon Learn that We
Mean Bus mess.
WORK OF COM MISSION
Thus Far the Philippine Question
Has Not Entered Into the
Discussion

Paris, Oct. S.-The United States peace
commissioner began their usual three
hours session at 10 o'clock this morning.
They are understood to have taken into
consideration direct suggestions and coun-
~ter-propositions from the Spaniards, of
which the Americans now have enough
to engage their attention at the daily SEES
sion. 1t may be regarded as quite likely
that The Spaniards have already outlined
their apparent expectations and that they
are beyond the line of possible acquies-
cence by the Americans. The latter are
now acting along we~ll-considered lines,
consistently and with a definite end in
view. They have to some degree dis
closed American expectation and deter
mination.
The Spaniards, however, seem unable or
unwilling at the outset, to understand or
believe the Americans have already set
forth their requirements and that they
are destined to remain virtually I'M
changed by finesse or counter-diplomacy.
Therefore it is not unlikely that the
Americans, following the course of fair,
thorough consideration of all the original
counter-propositions, will, to the limit of
fruitful possibility, accord patient consid-
Grafton of anything projected by the Span
iards. Thus, it is fair to conclude that
AhC uSl11 SCSSlOI Il l1C
recess intervals will be fully engrossed.
While the Philippines have not yet been
reached in the deliberations, this question
is doubtless relatively not far distant and
at that point is likely TO come to the full
stress of the diplomatic controversy.
Referring to the Philippine phase of the
negotiations, the GauIois today says:
"The question was somewhat touched
upon, though not discussed yesterday, but
there was enough to indicate serious diff
culties when it does come up"

Knew His Habits.

The following anecdote is given me by
an Indian officer as illustrative of the
manners and customs Of the willy Pathan.
A certain general and his staff, while,
vending their way through one of the
narrowest valleys of Tirah, were annoyed
by the attentions of a solitary marksman.

pleasantly close. At last the general
turned to his o~rderly-a Pathan sowar-
and told him to dismount, take his car
bine, and try to stalk the mountaineer.
The sowar started off, and presently there,
was a crack, and a gray-beared old Afridi
tumbled headlong down the mountain side.
The sowar rejoined and fell into his place.

on earth did you manage it so easily?''

COST OF BURYING SOLDIERS.
Must Parents Be Reimbursed When
the Cost Has Been Borne by Them?

Washington, D. c., Oct. 1O.-The war
department has before it for settlement a
question relative to what reimbursement
shall be allowed the families of soldiers
who have died in the service and the ex-
penses of whose sickness and burial have
been borne by their parents and relatives.
1he question comes up on the claim Of
Harvey W. Perkins of South Bend. Ind.
Tribune for something over $500 expend-
ed in caring for and burying his son.
Harry O. Perkins, a member of Co. f.
One Hundred and Fifty-frst Indiana
volunteers. Young Perkins was 10 years
OF age, enlisted at the outset of the
war and was sent with his regiment
to n of the Florida camps. There
he was taken with a fever and died.
The father Inc mother of the soldier
were officially informed of his condi-
ton n went to the camp to see that he
was properly cared for. With the cor
sent of the officials he was removed from
the hospital tent and taken to private
quarters, where he was put under the
charge of a trained nurse and a private
physician. Despite this, however, the
boy died, and his body was taken home
and buried. Every dollar extended in
nursing, in transportation and in burial
was paid by the father of the soldier. and
this sum aggregated about $500. which
the department is now asked to pay.
Whether the fact that the soldier was
permitted to be removed from the regi-
mental hospital by the consent of the
military officials binds the war depart
ment for the expenses incurred is a cues
ton that has not yet been passed upon.
Under the law the government can ey-
pend $40 only on the burial of a soldier.
Owing to the peculiar conditions sur
rounding this war, Secretary Alger arbi-
trarily increased this allowance to $50.
There is no record in the department of
such a sum as $500 ever having been al
lowed. The solitary case does not worry
the department so much as the precedent
that would be established were this claim
