"A VAST RAVISHMENT"
WHAT HANNIS TAYLOR CALLS THE
TERMS IMPOSED ON SPAIN.
The Ex-Minister to Madrid Not
American Peace Commissioners.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3O.-Hannis Taylor
late American minister to Spain, publishes
in the December number of the North
American Review a scathing criticism OF
the work of the American peace commits
sion. Mr.. Taylor contends that in the ne
gotiations with Spain respecting Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines, the MEM
bers of the commission Should have been
guided by the precedent established by this
country in it's dealings with Mexico after
the victorious issue of the Mexican war.
Then, he says, we refused, as Mexico lay
helpless at our feet, to take from her
single square mile of territory by right of
conquest. Our commissioners were in
structed to offer her $15.OOOOOO in cash and
the assumption upon our part of more than
three million dollars due from her to
American citizens, as compensation for the
area out of which has been carved Cali
fornia, Nevada, Arizona, Utah and New
Mexico "And thus" says Mr.. Taylor, was
established a new principle of moral law
which stands alone, perhaps, in the annals
of nations
Mr. Taylor contends that now, when for
the first time since the conquest of Mexico
we have another vanquished nation at our
feet, we owe to Spain all the consideration
and justice that can be due to the weak
from the strong, especially as Spain has
been an old and good friend, with whom
we had never before broken off diplomatic
relations. The arrangement which has been
concluded by the American commission, Mr..
Taylor characterizes as "a vast ravish-
rnent." 1--WE have refused arbitration. We
have summarily demanded the surrender
OF the entire Philippine archipelago and as
a salve to Spain we have rendered $20OCO'-
"The war has cost us directly about
S165 90 600 and as compensation for tnat out
lay we have appropriated Porto Rico Wnlcn

VOLCANO In ALASKA.
Eruption on One of the Mountains
Fifty Miles from Atlin City.

VICTORIA. B. c., Nov. 3O.-Dr. w. D.
Kinslee and T. p. James. Denver mining
men, who with Colonel Hughes, of Ross
land have just returned from Alaska, re-
port that volcano is in active eruption
about fifty miles from Atlin City. No name
has yet been given to the volcano, but the
officials Of Attn are preparing for trip of
inspection and will christen it. 1t is said to
be the second in a string of four mountains
lying fifty miles due south of Lake Gladys,
all of which are more than 1,40O feet nigh.
1t will probably be the end Of December
or the beginning of January before any
news is received from the men who have
chosen to spend the winter in the rich gold
bearing creeks of the Klondke. So say
those who arrived on the Cottage City the
last OF three steamers arriving here to
leave Skaguay. The other steamers were
the Danube and the Queen City, which re-
ported very rough trips. The Danube re-
ported that the Excelsior, which left Seattle
a few days ago for Copper river, is on her
way back, her boilers having collapsed The
Yukon below White Horse rapids is frozen
over. Norman d. Macauley, manager of
the White Horse tramway, was nineteen
days in making the trip from the rapids to
Lake Bennett, a trip that under ordinary
circumstances is made in two or three days.
About five hundred men will winter on the
creeks in the Atlin river country.

AN ANrI-ExPANsIONIsT.
senator HOar Is Opposed to Acqulsl-
ton of the Philippine.

WORCESTER, Mass, Nov. Ex-senator
Hoar announced himself to-day as positive
lv opposed to the acquisition of the Phihp-
nine Islands by the United States. In
communication to the Gazette he says: we
have not so far any news which is absolute
Nv trustworthy of what they are doing IN
Paris But if the report is true that 1t Is
proposed to buy of Spain the sovereignty
of the Philippine islands and to pay SzoVCu'-
600 for it, do not believe that such treaty
will be agreed to, and l do not believe II
ought to be agreed to. Spain has very little
sovereignty in the Philippines to sell just
now: and I do not think the people OF the
United States are in the market 10 puy
sovereigilty Just now, or that the Constltu-
ton has conferred on anybody the right 10
buy any such commodity. The Constitution
was framed on the theory that soVerelgnty
is not a salable article. The people OF the
United States nave conferred on nobody the
power to make such purchases IN their pc
half We have acquired territory either
vacant or so sparsely settled that there was
no people capable of governing 1t and no
germ Of a national life. We have also IN
one recent case acquired territory where
the original germ of national life mad per-
ished But neither of these precedents APP
nIied to the Philippine archipelago, with It's
millions of inhabitants.
