THE TERESA IN BAD SHAPE

SANTIAGO DE CUBA. Nov. 17.-An in
cident has occurred at San Luis, about
25 miles north of Santiago, which
caused great deal of i'll feeling among
the Cubans and considerable annoyance
amongst the United States military Off
GERS here. All the United States colored
regiments are encamped in the neigh
borhood of San Luis. They were sent
there virtually to get them out of the
way because of the difficulty experienced
in managing them, as the colored Off
GERS seem to have little or no control
over their men. The trouble at San
Luis began in an attempt to arrest two
soldiers for abusing Cuban working
man and stealing his hog. Lieutenant
Jose Ferrera, chief of General Woods
gendarmarie in that section, a Spaniard,
but u Cuban sylnpathizer and man
whom General Wood knew to be ablo
and courageous,
Attempted to Make the Arrests.
The soldiers, who belonged to the Ninth
immunes, escaped. Soon after 80 armed
colored men, wearing the uniform of the
United States, attacked the house where
Lieutenant Ferrers. was and kept up a
regular fusilade, killing Lieutenant Fer
rera, Antonio Roman, an old man,
Emilio Betteran, a boy Of 12, and baby
and wounding several others. Two SOL
diers We're killed in the affray. When
the news reached Santiago General
Wood left on special train for San
Luis. The American officers here all
passed the day with no little anxiety.
At O'Clock General Wood returned, re-
porting that after a long investigation
he had come to the conclusion that all
the colored regiments We're more rless
mixed up i'll the affray. He has offered
81 eco reward for the names Of the men
who did the shooting.

& PARIS, Nov. 17.-The Spaniards affirm
their decision not to sign a treaty of
peace on terms thus far presented by
the United States. They cannot view
the taking of the Philippines as any
thing less than wanton assumption of
their possessions unless; 1t is accompa-
MED by a substantial financial compen-
sation Of suitable character. There
fore the Spanish commissioners will ask
the American commissioners to extend
their financial consideration. The Span
ish sovereignty in the Philippines is now
clung to US means to obtain financial
relief if possible. It is almost pure
matter of money now. Persons near to
Spain's heaviest creditors believe that
should the Americans assume the Phil
ippine debt or pay Spain its face amount
in cash the Spaniards would sign. Re.
nacious adherents of this belief claim
No Treaty VIII BE Signed
which does not state that the Philippine
revenues shall pay the Philippine debt.
The Americans say the Philippine debt
of $40, ,OOO, 900 amounts to $50, 100000 in
gold, of which $11.COO,OO0 have been
used in fighting the United States, leav-
ing less than SIC, 200, 600 in gold charge
able to the Philippines. Trouble will
arise before that stage is reached and
the Spaniards will inform the Ameri-
cans that they have no right to arrange
a schedule Of Spain's expenditure or any
exact explanation as to what disposition
has been made of the loans.
Should Spain decide to withdraw she
will make an open protest to the world
against spoliation.

Will Make the Move as Soon as the Treaty
sof Peace Is Signed.
LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE Madrid CORE
.gpondent Of The Daily Mail says:
"A leading Carlist tells me he will be
astonished if a formidable rising does
not occur in Spain within q month after
the peace treaty is signed. The Carlists
have abundant supplies Of money, and
my informant says that only something
very much unexpected can prevent a
rising. This appears to agree with the
news that Don Carlos has succeeded in
raising an important loan in Paris and
that wealthy Carlist families are insur-
ing their property against war risks.
Il questioned a prominent official at
the Spanish war Office today on the sub
iject and he told mo he was well aware
Of the Carlist activity, but that the gov
ernment was even more ready than the
Carlists. !"

Compared with the election of 1896
the Republicans have gained in some
places and lost in others. It was not a
sweeping Republican victory. On the
contrary, the result is not surprising
when it is remembered that the admin
istration is just concluding a successful
war.
while majority of the soldiers are
probably anti-Republican the manage
ment of the war has been entirely in
Republican hands, and the strongest
argument used during the campaign
was that Republican defeat
Would Discredit the President

commissioners were engaged in making

"1t was not a trial upon the issues
now before the people, but successful
plea for a continuance of the case. The
people have not accepted the gold
standard. They have not fallen in love
with the plan to give the banks mo-
nopoly Of the issue of paper money.
They have not decided to retire the
greenbacks. They have not surrendered
to the trusts.
"Neither can the election be regarded
as an endorsement of any definite for
eign policy. Until treaty of peace has
has been entered into and the terms
made known, the people cannot pass
judgment upon it. Whether the wa1
will raise any question of sufficient i'm.
portance to turn public attention away
from domestic problems remains to be
seen."

ST. PAUL. Nov. 17.-Another victory
for the executive committee was scored
during the afternoon by the National
w. c. T. u, when by an overwhelming
majority the national delegates to the
convention in session in this city de-
clared that the w. G. T. U. was under
no moral obligation to redeem the Will
ard Temple bonds and refused to CO.
operate with the Temple trustees in
their efforts to raise money with which
to retire them. It was what the Tenn
pleites called a triumph over financial
honor and q distinct rebuke to those
who think q religious organization is
bound to pay the debts contracted in its
name. The debate was long and bit
ter one, and just before the vote was
taken Mrs. Carss got the floor and de-
clared she never again would speak be-
fore national convention of the w.
G. 7. u.
The Resolution Under Discussion,
The resolution which caused the de-
bate was introduced by Mrs. Marion H.
Dunhanl, secretary Of the Temple trus-
tess. and was as follows:
Resolved, That, in view Of the hearty
endorsement given by the national con-
vention in Boston in 1891 to the Temple
trust bonds, that the. endorsement de-
,cided many to purchase the bonds, and
that the moral obligation thus incurred
by the national union toward the bond
holders has been acknowledged again
and again, we hereby pledge our CO.
operation to the board of Temple t,us-
tees in the retirement of the Temple
trust bonds"
Among the resolutions adopted dur
ing the day was one condemning the
icanteen at military camps and posts
and second asking congress to pass a
law prohibiting the sale by hunters or
lnilliners of any bird plumage except
ostrich feathers. i
