PHILIPPINES FUTURE.
[By Gable to The Associated Press.

[By Cable to The Associated Press.
PARIS, Aug. TO- 1893 The Madrid cor
respondent of the Temps telegraphing
today from the Spanish Capital, says
THE Papal Nuncio has had long con-
ference with Premier Sagasta, in behalf
of the religious orders in the Philippine
Islands. Senor Sagasta replied that the
Vatican had nothing to fear while the
Islands remained under the sovereignty
Of Spain; but he could not answer for
the treatment of the religious orders in
the territories occupied by the natives or
gagements for the future, as the fate of
those communities depended on the out
come of the peace negotiations and the
decisions Of the Commission which
would be appointed to deal with the
regime of the Archipelago.

Which Did Not Seem
Satisfactory.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10, 1S98.-The an
swer of Spain to the terms of peace is
not entirely satisfactory to this Govern
ment and further negotiations are neces-
sary and are in progress today. A definite
result in the way of probable complete
acceptance is looked for by tomorrow
night, possibly late today.
The points on which the disagreement
rests are not known. That further con-
cessions of the Spanish Government to
our demands are awaited is certain, how
ever. One prominent administration Off
cal who has participated in the confer
enccs, while refraining from making any
direct statements had this much to say
today
.sThe answer is not enough, but we are
hopeful of the result"
Further negotiations. then, are neces-
sary?"
.Yes, but we look for something definite
tomorrow
Beyond this no member of the Cabinet
is willing to go. The President and Secre-
tary Day are exerting every effort to pre-
vent news of the progress of the negotia-
tions transpiring until definite result
can be announced.

Cabinet were in conference with the Pres
ident regarding the situation. Secretary

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10, 1S9S.-Secretary
Day at one o'clock today made the follow
ing statement to the Associated Press
I'VE have agreed upon a protocol en-
bodying the proposed terms for the nego-
tiation of treaty of peace, including the
evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rico, and
it is expected this protocol will be exc
cuted.''
1t can be stated that the terms are pre-
cisely those laid down by the President in
his original note about week ago.
1t is believed that nothing but few
formalities remain to be disposed of to Sc
cure the signature of the protocol
The statement thy Secretary Day showed
that events had led up by logical steps to
the agreement reached some time after
noon today, on the terms Of the protocol.
The conference between the President and
the French Ambassador, at the White
House last evening was practically ad-
mitted this morning was not conclusive
in all respects, bat there was a manifes-
tation of steadfast confidence in Admins
tration circles that seemed to presage an
early agreement upon a basis of a peace.
Foundation for this belief was afford
ed when Ambassador Cambon called at
the State Department during the fore
noon and it became known that the Am
bassador was prepared to give a response.
to further inquiries that had been neces-
sarly put last night in relation to the
Spanish position. Although no definite
statement could be obtained from any
one acquainted with the details Of the
bassador. having presented certain Span
ish requests yesterday in connection with
the acceptance of the four bases of
peace laid down by the President, had
been authorized to modify or withdraw
such of these additional representations
as should prove unacceptable to the
United States.
At any rate, when the Ambassador ap-
peared at the State Department at eleven
o'clock with his secretary, M. Thiebaut,
and was ushered into the diplomatic room,
there was general belief among the
officials. Of the State Department that the
prospects had frightened materially over
night and that a cessation of hostilitles
at least was in sight. The Ambassador
was in close conference with Secretary
Day for fifteen minutes, and then the
Secretary, leaving the Ambassador be-
hind the closed doors of the diplomatic
room, repaired to the White House for
consultation with the President
This gave rise to thesconjecture that the
ambassador had submitted additional
points to those presented last night upon
which the Presidents decision was es-
sential. On the other hand. with the
knowledge that a further conference be-
tween the President and the ambassador
was unnecessary, the Indications pointed
more clearly to the simple adjustment Of
minor details as the occasion for the Sec
retary's visit to the White House. For
Instance, It may hare been necessary TOR

Death OF w. r. Woods.

Last Thursday this community was
deeply saddened and shocked upon re-
ceiving the intelligence that w. F. Woods
was but just alive. He passed away
peacefully and quietly at $50 O'Clock the
evening OF the same day. He was taken
with typhoid fever Monday, Feb. Z, and
for a week was seemingly not alarm
ingly i'll. Tuesday evening following the
disease took on a more violent form,
attacking the heart, and although all
that medical aid could do to bring that
organ under control was done, he grew
rapidly worse until death came to his
relief.
Willis F. Woods was the youngest
child of Dea. John B. and Mary T. Win
slow Woods. He was born July 8,
1861 in the same house in which he died
thirty-six years afterwards. Nearly all
OF his life was spent upon the old home
farm, for which he has always felt very
strong attachment.
In October, 1882, he was united in
marriage to Miss Alice 6. Morse,
daughter of H. L. Morse of Concord. VT,
who, with three children, survives him.
The years OF their married life had been
years Of toll, yet their aims and purposes
and hopes were one, and during all these
years they have walked side by side in
mutual confidence and love.
In November, 1880, he expressed faith
in Christ and united with the Baptist
church in Passumpsic, and during the
seventeen years that have elapsed since
then his faith has grown stronger and
his hope brighter, and in death he was
enabled to say with confidence, III am
going to heaven" He was man who
enjoyed the esteem and confidence of all
who knew him, man of strict integ-
rity and honor. While his loss will be
most sorely felt by bis family and those
nearest him, yet he will be missed by a
large circle Of acquaintance with whom
he has met and mingled.
The funeral service was held at the
Baptist church in Passumpsic Sunday,
Rev. ]. D. Skinner officiating. In spite
OF the storm large number were pres

ton from the N. E o. P. OF St. Johns.
bury, of which order he was member.
The floral offerings were numerous and
verv beautiful.
Besides the wife and children mentioned
above, he leaves an aged mother, one
brother, Charles H. of Passumpsic, and
sister, Mrs. I. P. Harvey of St. Johns
bury, to mourn his loss.
