NO AID FOR SPAIN.
Need Not Count on European Inter-
vention-CannOt Resume the War.

YentiOn-C1nnOt ResUme the war.
LONDON, Nov. 2--The Paris correspond
ent Of the Times notices with pleasure the
fact that important French newspapers ad-
wise Spain not to count upon European
Intervention, and that it Is expedient for
her to yield so as not to be exposed to the
terrible consequences of a bombardment of
the Spanish coasts.
The Daily Chronicle says, editorially, this
morning: "a war in which the justly van
quished nation receives a solatium Of $780,
100000 would be q novelty so great that it
must be seen to be believed. In any case it
would be madness for Spain to attempt TO
resume hostilities"
The Paris correspondent of the Daily Tel
egraph says: 1.-The disagreement between
the American and Spanish peace commits
soners, which, under ordinary circum-
stances, might have caused alarm through
out Europe, is hardly noticed, owing to the
Fashoda affair. The Spaniards are in a po-
sition to know and assert that their gov
ernment will resist the American demands
and will offer the Philippines for a lump
sum. If this proposal is not accepted Spain
will recall her commissioners and let the
Yankees do what they choose. 1 am assured
however, that a rupture on Friday is i'm
probable. Spain will endeavor by arguments
and appeals to gain whatever concessions
are possible, but she will not risk renewal

Senators who Are Opposed to Paying
Spain for the Philippines.
NEW YORK, Nov. LIN answer to the
query. "Do you favor the proposition to pay
Spain $40000,0O0 for the Philippines? ?" eleven
United States senator's have telegraphed
the World expressing their unalterable op-
position to any such plan. The senators
are Jones and Berry, of Arkansas; Harris,
of Kansas; Hale of Maine; Burrows, of
Mchigan Roach of North Dakota;
Chandler, of New Hampshire: Tillman, of
South Carolina; Pettigrew of South Dakota;
Sullivan, of Tennessee, and Daniel, of Vir-
ginia.
Senator Hale says: ''I would not take the
Philippines if Spain would give us $4,000,
coo with them. The sooner we drop them
the BETTER
Senator Chandler says: eff Spain will pay
us $400, 900 war indemnity 1 am willing
to have her deduct therefrom $400OO.OOO for
surrendering sovereignty in the Philippines,
to which we ought to give if possible the
blessings of religious liberty and self gov
ernment as we have given them to Cuba"
Senator Tillman says: II am opposed to
paying any sum of money to Spain for the
Philippines and am fully opposed to holding
them conquered territory. But if we

them and help pay the expenses Of the

Senator Pettigrew says: II am not in
favor of acquiring the Philippine islands at
any price. They should be allowed to form
a government of their own. All govern
ments derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed"
Senator Sullivan says: THE retention of
the Philippines, which / approve, can be
justified only as a legitimate result of Span
ish outrage and American victory, aside
from the original question of humanity I
would not pay Spain one dollar more for
those islands than she has paid for the mur-
dered Americans of the Maine. Spain ne

THE INVASION OF SAN DOMINGO.
Smith Nj. Weeds Mission to the Little
Republic uccessfuI-Annexa-
ton RumOrs Denied.

PLATTSBURG, N. r., Nov. 1-Smith
M Weed arrived home this morning from
the West Indies, where he was a passenger
on the cruiser Montgomery. Mr. Weed is
president of a syndicate which controls the
customs and railroads Of San Domingo, pay
ing that republic large sum every year
for the privilege. He went to Nassau to
meet President Hereaux, at the request of
President Mckinley, or at least under an
understanding with the administration to
settle the grievance San Domingo has
against this country on account of the
Hernandez affair. 1t will be remembered
that during the early stage of the war Her
nandez, understood to be a Cuban patriot,
headed an expedition fitted out by this gov
ernment for the relief Of Gomez for whom
he claimed intimate friendship. 1t turned
out, however, that his real purpose was to
promote an insurrection in San Domingo
He landed on the coast OF the little republic,
but was promptly met by a government
force, and out of a party of sixteen he was
the only one to escape San Domingo nat
uralIy felt that she had a claim against
the United States for damages for fitting
out an expedition which was used to pro-
woke rebellion on hersown soil. It was to
settle this difficulty that Mr.. Weed first
to Nassau
Mr.. Weed said to-day: II acted in an un-
official capacity. The matter was satisfac-
torily adjusted There is absolutely no
truth in the reports Of proposed annexa-
tion. Neither the United States nor Do
mingo desires it."
Regarding the Nicaragua canal project in
which Mr.. Weed is heavily interested
financially, he said: There is no change
in the situation regarding the proposed
canal. A syndicate of New York and Chi
cago capitalists has lately organized a new
company and obtained certain concessions
from the Nicaraguan government which
will take effect when the franchises and
privileges Of the Maritime Canal Company
expire AS to this latter matter there is
some doubt as to the expiration of the COM
pany's franchise. However, 1 think there
will be no trouble and that the differences
between the two companies will be amicably
adjusted. 1 believe the people of this coun-
try want the government to build the canal
and not any private corporation and feel
sure that the coming Congress will take
some action in the matter"

MAY BE NO PEACE TREATY.
Paris Editors Say Spaninrds May
Break OF Negotiations.


PARIS, Nov. 1.-The French papers de-
rive their news of the work of the peace
commissioners from Spanish sources, and
therefore the morning papers here to-day
are interesting as indicating the atmosphere
in Spanish quarters and the trend of French
views and tendencies. 1t must be recalled
that the Spaniards have utterly accepted
the refusal of the United States govern
ment to assume any of the Spanish debt
and the question has been set away TO wait
its place in the final treaty, providing diff
ferences on the question of the Philippine
islands shall not prevent the making of any
treaty. AS the whole is composed of it's
parts. so must the Philippine question be
mutually agreed on or none of those ques-
tions previously agreed upon will find a
place in the treaty. This is all the pro-
vision or provisional understanding existent
In view of the facts then the Paris press
to-day has indicated a tendency to confuse
the situation.
The Matin, in reviewing the work, says:
ut is well understood that the cession of
Porto Rico was tAntamount to the payment
Of war indemnity in cash. and entirely
freed Spain from any subsequent repetition
on the subject" Turning back to Cuba, the
Matin remarks: THE Spaniards declined to
concur in separating the debt from the
pledge. the mortgage from the loan. AS it
was impossible to reach an understanding
they asked that at least the order of the
protocol be inverted and that the question
of the Philippines be previously discussed
that question possibly offering the Ameri-
cans an opportunity for rendering some
compensation for the enormous sacrifices
they have forced upon the conquered. The
Americans finally acceded to the change,
and only asked the Spaniards to accept
Professionally the clauses relating to the
Cuban debt with the reservation that the
acceptance could be withdrawn if no agree
ment was reached as to the Philippines.
Referring to yesterdays meeting, the
Matin says: 1.-THE Spaniards said they
would make their answer known on Friday
refusal, precise and formal. The Spanish
plenipotentiaries have made up their minds
in the event of the United States adverting
to the Philippine proposition, to decline
signing the act Of peace, to break off the
negotiations and to call on the civilized
nations to witness the abuse of force to
which they will be subjected and the vio-
lation of the provisions set forth in the
Washington protocol"
The Gaulois remarks: 1.-THE Spaniards
will never agree to abanG On the archipelago
without compensation, and we believe the
Americans intend to suggest that they will
assume the Philippine debt. We hope the
negotiations will not be broken but SPAIN
1T is given out as certain, would take such
a course rather than submit to humliating
terms

WILL NOT TEASE AGAIN
PRACTICAL JOxERs GIVEN A LES
SON BY A FELLOW-WORKMA
Nine Persons wounded by a Demented
Man ON Whose stool Tacks
Had Been Placed.

DEAVER DAM, Wis, Nov. 1.-Adam
Hammer, of this city, became suddenly in
sane to-day and, securing a gun, wounded
nine men and was finally shot himself to
prevent his doing further injury. The list
Of wounded follows
Theo. B. Rowel, shot in the face and
head.
William Chat1eld, shot in the leg.
Marshall Edward Powderly, shot in the
face.
Michael Niemann, shot twice at close
range dangerously wounded in the side and
leg.
Justice E. E. Lyons, shot in the right eye,
may lose the eye.
c. w. Schlaebitz, shot in head.
John Gerg, shot in the face.
William Giese, shot in the face.
Carl Vorphal, shot in leg.
Two others received slight scratches.
Hammer was employed in the machine
shops of the J. s. Rowell Manufacturing
Company. He was a good worker but at
times had spells of supposed insanity the
result, it is said, of religious excitement.
His peculiar ways made him the butt for
practical Jokes. To-day some one placed
some tacks on a stool where he worked
and this angered him. He left the shop,
went to a hardware store, where he rented
a loaded double-barrel shotgun and, taking
up his position south of the main building
OF the plant, kept every one at bay for over
an hour and succeeded in shooting several
employees through the windows. Finally
Lieut.. Arthur T. A. T1bbetts, of Company
X, Second Regiment, who has a reputation
for good craftsmanship, was selected by the
marshal to shoot him in such a manner as
to bring him down without killing him.
Lieutenant TibbettS shot Hammer in the
right shoulder with a 32-caliber rifle, when
he dropped. He was quickly arrested by the
marshal and taken to the lookup where his
wounds were dressed. They were found to
be not serious.

was placed with one of the leading mer-
chants to-day. The Imperieuse will sail un.
der sealed orders not to be opened until the
vessel is out of sight of land The Amphion
took on board one of the fastest torpedo

Quarantine Against the Plague.

HAMBURG, Nov. IA large number of
Austrian steerage passengers, who passed
through Vienna on tt sir way here, have
been prevented from embarking on board
the Hamburg-American line steamer Pre-
toria, booked to sail tomorrow for New
York, owing to a notification from the au-
thorities at Washington that steerage pas
sengers from Vienna would be quarantined
for a fortnight on their arrival in the
United States.
The quarantine measures adopted by the
Washington authorities against steerage
passengers bound for the United States
who have passed through Vienna are due
to the outbreak OF bubonic plague there,
caused by experiments made in Professor
Nothnagle's archaeological establishment,
where plague germs were cultivated.

LONDON. Nov. 1.-The War Office has
issued a semi official notification in which
it says it does not object to the papers an
nouncing military and naval preparations

would be "unpatriotic to publish specific
details that might be useful to a possible

There is no noticeable cessation in Eng

all emergencies. There were large ship
ments of guns, shells and war stores to
