the platform previous to delivering her

In the course of her address she said
that it is certainly wise custom which

Mrs. Jennings dwelt at some length
on the work accomplished by the clubs,
and congratulated the women on their
efforts in making the organization the
success that il is, and hoped that the
good work will continue. The speaker
called attention to a number of de-

Following an interesting description

that the Cuban general, Rios, offers
armed men to assist the Americans in
preserving order. merely asking rations
in return. General Wood sent the fol-
! lowing reply: Certainly not. The
! only conditions on which raticns are TO
I be issued is the complete disarmament
and disbandment of the troops"
Some of the Cubans here consider
| that the United States is treating its
allies badly in not allowing the Cuban
forces to remain armed. They contend
that the Cuban soldiers who have been
fighting three years, who speak the
language of the country are better
fitted for garrison duty than ''un-
trained volunteers"
The Cuban general MaceO Rodriguez,
virtually voices the sentiment OF the
Cuban army, when he says:
I'VE thank the United States for the
assistance it has given US. but the time
has now arrived when the Cubans
should be placed in the highest offices
and should prepare to take over the
island on the departure of the Span
ish.'
The Cuban extremists here are jubi-
liant at the reported attitude of the Gu
ban assembly at Santa Cruz del Sur,
where the delegates, while expressing
their gratitude to the Americans, prac-
tically demand a distinctive Cuban
government. The Cuban moderates, on
the other hand, regret this stand,
thinking it best for the United States
authorities to continue in charge of
affairs for yea- at least, SO as to set
things going and to prevent any COM
plications with foreign governments.
The foreign consuls. are considering
the advisability of appealing to the
powers to prevent a too hasty recOg-
milton of the Cuban government. Cen
eral Wood is considering the advisable
ity of granting a hotel license to any
responsible applicant who would under

Santiago.
General Wood is fully resolved to al

especially no more from the West In

and one from Hayti, loaded with negro
emigrants, have been ordered to return

THE coUNTER-MEMoRANDUM.
Will Relinquish Sovereign Rights In
Cuba. Without Other Claim

London, Oct. 27.-The Paris cores
pondent of the Times says: At today's
"wednesday sitting the Spanish peace
commission offered a new counter
memorandum declaring their readiness,
Professionally, to accept an article OF
a parliamentary treaty stipulatinS that
Spain shall relinquish all rights TO
sovereignty in Cuba without formuiat-
ing any either claim, and to leave in
suspense all remaining questions, es-
pecially the Philippines.
The Americans asked until Thursday
to reply to this new memorandum. This
is regarded as a favorable sign, being
a slight relaxation of the rigidity the
Americans have hitherto shown They
are perhaps aware that the Cuban and
even the Spanish bOndholders are be-
coming alarmed at the strange turn OF
the financial side of the discussion, in
which Spain, the United States and
Cuba. with extraordinary unanimlty,
all repudiate the Cuban debt
Nobody will be able TO force Spain TO
accept the debt, for, apart from bank
ruptcy, she could only meet the Iabil-
tiles at the expense of her foreign
bondholders, who. by a strange an
Omaly, would thus have to pay for the
independence of Cuba. 1t is not likely
that the United States or any power
can or will force Spain to ruin herself
by meeting the Cuban debt, and 1t will
either then be total loss for Europe
or be paid by the Spanish bondholderS.

MEETS IN PHILADELPHIA.
Courier Brings Important Dispatches
From Washington.

ETOm washington
Philadelphia. Oct. 26.-After the re-
ception to the president at Union
league, a meeting of the chief executive
and those cabinet officers who are in
attendance with him at the Peace Ju-
bilee, was held at the Hotel Bellevue.
Those present besides the president
were Postmaster Smith, Secretary OF
War Alger, Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson and Solicitor General Richards,
in place of Attorney General Griggs.
The utmost secrecy attended the pro-
ceedinSs. and it is impossible to learn
for what purpose the meeting was
called or what subjects were discussed
From an unofficial, although ordinarily
reliable source, it was cleaned that j.
c. Kellogg, private secretary to Secre-
tary Hay, reached here tonight, bear
ing important dispatches from the state
department. Neither Secretary Porter
or any of the cabinet officers could be
seen after the meeting, and no infor-
nation from other sources could be
obtained.
The meeting lasted nearly an hour,
and was held in the presidents room
in the hotel Local detectives prevent
ed any one from approaching the V1cin-
ity. Mr.. kellogg, who was questioned
about the matter, admitted being the
bearer of q message. but said 1t was
purely a personal one from Secretary
Hay. That it was more than some or
binary deliberatiOn was apparent from
the fact that Mr.. Kellogg reached the
Union league shortly before IL O'Clock,
and was Immediately taken to the
president He then left and went to
the hotel, the reception coming TO an
end very shortly. After the president
and cabinet had concluded their delib-
eratiOns Mr.. Kellogg left immediate
ly for Washington in special car. 1t
was reported after midnight that the
president may leave for Washington in
the morning. and not remain 10 review

LAKE VESSELS MISSING.
Long List of Disasters to Schooner


Chicago, Oct. 26.-The gale which be-
gan last night continued most of to-
day, causing immense damage to ship
ping. At 10 O'Clock tonight the wind
is going to the south, and the huge
seas which have been rolling on Lake
Michigan for the past "A hours are fast
running down. The storm brought a
long list of disasters to the local

abandoned by her crew, waterlogged

Paris. Oct 26.-The American peace
commissioners held a session of several,
hours duration today prior to the joint
session of the two commissions which
opened at o'clock this afternoon. The
Americans fully realize that they ares
approaching the discussion of the chiee<
question intrusted to them, namely, I
the future of the Philippine islands. <
and it may be taken for granted that's
they are we'll prepared to take the mat
ter up if it is broached today by theN
Spaniards.
The meeting of the commissionerai
lasted an hour and five minutes and9
was adjourned until tomorrow. Both
the Spanish and the American cOmmis-~
SiOnerS were more reticent after this
session than ever before. The Ameri-}
cans fully appreciate not only their own
serious responsibility, but also the deli
cate position of their Spanish col
leagues, to the burden of whose duties
is now added the critical political situ-
alton at Madrid, which may compel the
president OF the Spanish commission,
who is also president of the Spanish
senate, Senor Montero Rios, to leave
Paris.
AS the peace negotiations are now
nearing.the discussion of the Philippine
question the Americans feel no stage
of the proceedings has so demanded
their considerate treatment. 1t may not
be stated tonight with certainty that
the Cuban question has received the
last consideration by the Americans,
nor have the Spaniards accepted as
ultimate the United States refusal to
assume any portion of the Cuban debt.
It may, however, be affirmed that the
Philippine question was not reached
today, but it may be discussed at to-
session. which will be the first
occasion, during these negotiations of a
joint session of the commissions being
held on succeeding days. which fact is
in Snil1a fIao-rae SIGNIFICANT

Philadelphia, Oct 26.-President Nc
Kinley arrived here at noon today, but
instead of finding the city in the midst
of the enjoyment of its peace celebra-
ton, he found dreary, desolate condl-
ton of affairs, and many thousand cit
liens and visitors were disappointed at
the interruption OF the peace Jupllee
exercises by the rain.

The president then withdrew, and

later four of the crew of the Merrimac
came from the building. and were pre-

most tumultUous greeting. The Mer-

crowd gradually dispersed.
1t is learned that the president has

ing Washington, a bodyguard of three
detectives. The president, however,
said tonight that he never felt so safe
as while in Philadelphia.

tematic manner in which the business
was proceeded with. There was every
indication that the ladies knew what
they wanted. and how they wanted TO
Go it. There was a more general knowl-
edge OF parliamentary law displayed
than at any gathering with a similar
number of delegates that mas been held
in Ogden.

SAGASTA MUST REMAIN.
Change of Government Impossible
Until Peace Is Signed.

London, Oct. 27.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Standard, telegraphing
Tuesday by way of the frontier, and
dealing with the threatened cabinet
crisis, points out the impossibility of
a change of government, because a
change would almost certainly cause
the resignation of the Spanish commits
sioners in Paris. He says:
"Senor Sagasta, therefore, will remain
at the helm until the treaty of peace is
signed, unless General Weyler or the
military elements cause trouble. Sc
nor Montero Rios, president of the
Spanish commission, now offers no
hope of obtaining anything from Amer
lea for the Cuban debt. He even says
that Spain must assent to the views
in this matter before the conference
can proceed to settle the Puerto Rican
and Philippine question"
