WHAT HOBSON WANTS.
Says 5000, 900 to Raise Sunken
Spanish Vessels.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 2.-Naval
Constructor Hobson arrived in this
city from Philadelphia, where he took
part in the peace jubilee. He appeared
before the board Of naval bureau
chiefs for the purpose of explaining
the condition of the Spanish ships
wrecked off the coast Of Santiago and
the progress and prospects of the
efforts which are making for their re-
covery.
1t is said that over 81, 200, 900 will be
required to cover the operations, and
the secretary Of the navy desires to
know what chance there is Of success
before authorizing the expenditure of
so large an amount Of money. The
action Of the department will be based
upon the report of the board ." bu-
reau chiefs after the examination of
Naval Constructor Hobson.
Constructor Hobson was with the
naval board all the afternoon, and
gave a great deal Of detailed informa-
ton as to the condition of the wrecks.
He was Of the opinion that it was use
less to continue the wrecking company
any longer, and that results did not
warrant the $500 per day it was re-
ceiving.
Constructor Hobson said that, in his
opinion, the Colon and Vizcaya could
be raised n brought to dry dock at
New York and Norfolk at a cost Of
$500 900 for one and $4O0, 900 for the
other, and possibly both could be
brought in for $400, 900 each. The gov
ernment would, Of course, AXE the
risk Of expanding 5000, 900 on each of
the vessels, and in the n find it was
unable to raise them.
Mr.. Hobson wanted to be placed at
the head of a wrecking company which
he should organize and be authorized
to expend from $500, 900 to 5000, 900 on
the tow vessels. He sale the hull of
the Vizcaya was intact, and proposes
to build a cofferdam around her and
bring her up to the surface after maxi
ing repairs necessary to float her.
Mr.. HObson also gave the bureau
chiefs information concerning the
Reina Mercedes and the Merrimac. The
former could be easil- raised. he be-
lieved, for it was apparent that she
had been only scuttled. The Merrimac
could be raised, n he said she must
be removed from the mouth of the har-
Dor in some way.
The board will ave another meeting
Monday. and possibly make some rec
concentrations to the secretary regard
ing the wrecks off SANTIAGO.

lands for fixed prices-intending and
expecting to reimburse itself for money
expended. Let that be granted; that
is true; there is no dispute about that.
Upon the strength of that it is said
these lands were sold to the soldiers
who are now on them. That statement
is true. But, MI. President, conditions
have changed. Are we to deal with
the settlers on these public lands as
one nan would deal with another re-
specting a matter of private business
or the transfer of private title? I GER
tainly think not.
We are legislating, or, presumably at
least, we are legislating, for the benefit
of settlers on those lands as we'll as for
the benefit of settlers elsewhere; and
when it is made to appear that 100, 900
families of those settlers, who have
been occupying indian lands for five
or six years, will, unless a provision Of
this kind is adopted, be driven from
their homes n become charges upon
the remainder of the nation in one form
or another; when it is made to appear
that these people for five or six years
have given their best energies to the
building up of these sections, construct
ing homes, opening farms, building up
schools and churches and towns; when
it is made to appear that they will be
driven from those lands, and that all
their labor and all their money put
into improvements will be lost, it seems
to me there ought to be no hesitation
about adopting and adhering to a
of this character.
1t seems like pulling eye teeth to get
a little measure of justice of his kim
of this class of people. Senators will
stand here and contend as though this
were a court of a justice of the peace,
that these people entered into a con-
tract and that they must be required to
live up to that contract, whether they
the means or not.
Mr.. President, we are making laws,
not enforcing them; and presumably we
make laws in consequence of equitable
circumstances calling for their adop-
ton. Here is a vast body of our citi-
who are unfortunate; 100, 900 FAM
lilies at least who have faced the perils
and the dangers of pioneer life, who
have gone out upon these bleak prai-
ries and established homes, and be-
cause they have been unfortunate for
the lack of sufficient rainfall in the pro-
of crops, in the obtaining of
means to sustain themselves and to
meet their obligations, they are to be
out of their homes and lose the
money n labor they have put upon
their property without any compensa-
ton.
The Presiding Officer (Mr. Gallinger
in the chair)-The question is on agree
lng to the report of the committee Of
conference.
The report vas agreed to.

TO ASSUME $4,000, 900.
Now Believe Americans Will AS
sumo Debt of the PHILIPPINES.

Now Believe Americans Will As
sumo Debt Of the Philippines.
Paris, Nov. 1.-While the Spanish and
American peace commissioners now
stand upon the threshold Of the Phil
ippine question, it seems probable in
the light of this hour tina the United
States will take over the entire archi-
pelago. This view is the"focus point of
the best unofficial opinion, of the trend
Of events, of the development of i'm
pulses, of the reasoning of men of fixed
landmarks to the crystal of conclusion.
During the four days just past those
in touch with, though possibly not in
the confidence Of, the commissioners,
have felt the concentration of tenden-
cies toward the standpoint indicated
States commissioners at Mondays ses-
sion of the two commissions
In 1897 Spain issued by royal decree
bonds in a sum of $40, OO0, 900, to which
were pledged the revenues of the Phil
ippines, and to which the Spanish ma
tional guarantee was added. From
these $40, 000, 900 of obligations Spain
000,0 900 represent the Philippines debt,
which is entirely outside Of the $780,
000, 900 of the so-called Philippine and
Spanish general debt.
The conditions also differ, the Phil
ippine debt having been created by
royal decree because the archipelago
was not a parliamentary colony, while
the so-called Cuban debt was created
by law. The difference raises the ques-
ton of the non-responsibility of the
Philippines when removed from the
sovereignty under which it's
were pledged.
Should the United States absorb the
Philippines none but officials yet know
whether they would assume a part or
all of this debt, or more than the Phil
ippine debt. The Americans have de-
clined to assume any of the Cuban
debt, because Cuba is not theirs, but
in deposing Spain in the Philippines,
the Americans acquire the territory,
and it is believed there will be some
financial assumption by the United
States.
At his point rises the question of
how much financial relief might COM
pose Spain to her loss Of the Philip
pines. Some well informed persons be-
lieve that Premier Sagasta has become
determind to be rid of the Philippines
and would direct his commission to
sign a treaty by which the United
States would take the stands and as
sumo the $40. OO0, 900 Of debt.
There are Spaniards IN Paris who in
sist thai should the United States take
the Philippines without a large none
tary consideration, SPANS commission
should return n the nation bidding
it's soldiers in Cuba and elsewhere take
up arms. achieve thus a glorious mar
tyrdom to honor.
In these c~ontending currents the
Spanish commissioners are awaiting
the American declaration Monday. and
they declare they cannot sign a treaty
of peace involving the loss of the Phil
ippines to Spain.

THE PROSPECTS FOR PEACE.
A Syndicate Buying Up Spanisc
Securities.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 1.-The con-
fident predictions of Secretary Hay and
Secretary Alger that the peace nego-
tiations at Paris will be brought to a
successful conclusion within the next
three weeks are not shared by all men,
bers of the cabinet.
Secretary Wilson, for instance, be-
lieves that the Spanish commissioners
will not sign the peace treaty, and that
Sagasta will call them home, leaving
to the United States the only alterna-
tlVe-to use force in compelling Settle
ment.
Secretary Hay and Secretary Alger,
however, are more in the confidence
of the president than the secretary of
agriculture.
They understand better the complex
tiles of the big deal between the ad-
m~lnlstration and the holder of Philip
pine bonds, whereby Spain is to be in
duced to cede all the Philippines, the
United States on it's part guaranteeing
the S4o' 0oo, wy of bonds issued against
the credit Of the islands.
Eve since Senator Mark Hanna an
nounced several weeks ago that the
president would demand of Spain all
the islands in the Philippine archipel-
lgo, large blocks Of Philippine securi-
Ties nave been purchased for American
account.
1t is said that a bond syndicate Of
American spectators, including John
): McCook of New York, Atkins of
Boston, and Hanna of Ohio, have been
WORKING on inside information from
Washington, and that it has secured
at comparatively slight cost millions
Oh spanish securities, which it pro-
poses through the medium Of the neace
treaty to unload at par.
The one way to defeat this colossal
Scheme, which the democratic
OF congress will insist upon. is to de-
mand as a condition precedent to rati-
ficatlon of the treaty by the senate that

long since ceased to love her she was
not in any degree guilty toward him.
Having confessed herself and paTtaken
of the sacrament she retracted the ac-
cuSation of poisoning, as she feared 70
cast suspicion upon innocent persons.
She died q few hours afterWard. Every
one around her seemed inactive and in
different with the exception or the
King, who insisted that something
should be done for her.
Among those at whom the finger of
suspicion was pointed was her hus-
band. with whom she had had a long
conversation just before her fatal ILL
ness, and in the course of which some
bitter things were said. The Duke be-
came somewhat embittered against her
because she had kept from him the
secret of her mission to England, she
having negotiated with her brother,
the King, that treaty which made him
a dependent and pensioner of France.
King Louis charged him with the muir
der of Henrietta. The Duke de-
clared with the most solemn oath that
he was innocent. The King, still in
doubt, made a strict investigation OF
all the circumstances. He discovered
that the succory water, the favorite
drink of the Princess Henrietta, was
kept in a china jug, alongside an
other of pure water, used for d1luting
the former. Both vessels stood in
closet. 1t was learned also that on the
very day of Henrietta's death the
Marquis d'Effiat, one of the favorites of
the Duke of Orleans, was found in this
closet by a footman, who demanded
his business there. The Marquis. not
losing his presence of mind for an in
slant, calmly replied that his intrusion
was excusable by reason Of his thirst.
Knowing that water was always kept
in the closet, he said, he could not re-
sist a drink The Marquis then passed
into the salon of the Princess, where
he remained for an hour in converse
ton with his fellow courtiers.
Convinced that Purnon, comptroller
of the Princess household, must know
something about the mysterious affair,
the King had him brought into his
presence. Under promise of full par
don-so the story has been told-Pur-
non confessed that Henrietta was a
victim of poison, sent from Rome by
the Chevalier de Lorraine. with gen.
