iards will enter the session today fully APP
preciating their position as the vanquished,
although they will strenuously urge the ex-
istence of rights and equities remaining to
the vanquished. On this subject the Gau-
lois says that during the last twenty-four
hours sensational and alarming news gas
been afioat regarding the negotiations 1t
cites the English papers allegations that
Judge Day has cabled to Washington say
ing that the negotiations for a treaty of
peace are the verge of stopping owing
to the refusal of Madrid to accept the
United States attitude regarding the Phil
ippine islands.
The Gaulois cites a statement to the eff
feet that Judge Day has been authorized to
suspend negotiations If the Spaniards do
not conform to the American views, and
declares that it can affirm that this news is
absolutely incorrect. 1t declares, however,
that whereas, the Spaniards at the outset
were obdurate, they are now disposed to
modify their intentions, owing to the firm
ness of the attitude of the United States,
the people of which have now been excited
TO the point of insisting upon holding the
Philippine islands.
The utterances of a speaker at Trenton,
N. J.. last week, are cited in reference. The

Spanish, It Is alleged are beginning to
realize 1t, and she viii finally agree to give
up Manila and the island of Luzon on con-
dition that the United States assume the
philippine debt amounting to $4O,0OO,0OO, and
accords privileges to Spain in trade. In
conclusion, the Gauloise says: I'VE think
we are authorized to say that President
Mckinley will agree to a settlement on this
basis.''
The peace commission reconvened at 2
o'clock.
The session adjourned at 3:15 p. M. until
Tuesday, October II. The preliminaries
are finished.
The commission at today's session settled
upon the points which are to be taken un-
der consideration, but there is no sett ed
order in which they are to be considered.
Propositions have been exchanged in writ
ing between the commissions and each
commission in each recess will separately
deliberate upon them.
If for no other reason than the fact that
the Philippine islands were not mentioned
first in the protocol it may be said with
assurance that the commissions joint ses-
sions have not touched upon the question
of the Philippine islands.

FREE OF DUTY.
Beef and Work Cattle Will Probably Be
Admitted to Cuba.

Washington, October beef and work
cattle are likely to be soon admitted into
Cuba free of duty. The question Is now
receiving careful consideration by the Off
Gals and it seems probable that the pres
ent tariff will be so modified to afford at
least temporary relief to the Cuban people.
1t is known that the general mass of the
rural population of the island is in dis
tress for want of food and work. cattle
with which to till the soil. The planting
season is now at hand, and as the entire
country has been practically stripped of
cattle, the farmers find themselves unable
to plant their crops. In this emergency
the government proposes to do its utmost
in the way of relief and 1t is not improba-
BILE that the free list will be further in
creased by including some staple articles
of food, such as flour, meats, rice, etc.
Whatever action is taken 1t is thought will
be announced within a day or two, and
will be only temporary and for the sole
purpose of affording the suffering Cubans
relief in their present extremity.

floor face downward, strangled with a
twisted towel which was tied tightly
around her neck There is no clue to the

Weight informed the police officials that
