baggage stores and mules will be IN
loaded to-day.
Spaniards Make No Objection.
No objection has been made so far
by Gen. Castellanos to the march
through the CITY, The plan at first was
to march Saturday, but the Western
Railway company has not rolling
stock enough to move the regiment
with the mule trains and baggage and
stores-in all ninety-seven car loads
at one time. so that the baggage and
teansters will be sent to-day and the
regiment tomorrow. 1t is intended
that the first appearance of the Unit
ed States troops in Havana shall have
an impressive moral effect upon Gu
bans. Yesterday a number of Spanish
soldiers gathered in the vicinity of San
Jose in order to get look at their late
adversaries. Friendly gestures We're
made on both sides. The Spaniards
commented upon the large size of the
American men. The regiment will take
forty days rationS. Camp sites have
been selected but no work has been
done on them and the men will have
to make their own camps. Until fur
Their notice Gen. Davis will exercise the
functions of military governor of the
province Of Pinar del Rio, now com
pletely evacuated. The oath Of allegi-
ance will be administered to the may
ors of the towns and ether civic Of
ficials. The existing authorities are to
be continued With notifications to suit
future conditions.

The present emperor of China-if
Kwang su be indeed still living-at-
tempted to check revolt in his do
minions by granting the reforms de-
manded by the insurgents. The result
was disastrous to him, but the essay
did him credit. In it he followed the
example of one of his predecessors
nearly q century ago, who on a memoir
able occasion said in a public procla-
nation: AN attempt at revolution
has been made, for which I blame my
self. 1t must arise from the low state
of my virtues and accumulated imper-
fectiors. My ministers and I have
governed carelessly, and caused the
present occurrence"

desire to close the negotiations. Both
the government aud press approve his
action and protest against the conduct

washington. Dec. 1.-THE navy de-

from Admiral Dewey summarizing the
existing conditions at Manila and such
points in the Philippines as have been
visited by his officers. Advices also
have been received from Gen. Otis, the
commaIdant of the United States mill
tary forces in the islands, and they
both go to show Il notable improve
ment i'll conditions and the growth of
better spirity among those factions
of the natives which promised to give

ment is already giving consideration of
the best means at hand to redeem the
pledge it will be placed under by the
treaty of Paris to secure the release of
the Spanish prisoners held by the Phil
ippine natives. There are about 500
clerical prisoners and the government
is confident that their captors will de-
liver them up on proper representa-
lions from Gen. Otis and Admiral
Dewey. madR possibly through Consul
Wildman. 1t may be necessary to call
the navy into service in this matter
for the reason that the prisoners are
held in captivity on other islands than
Luzon. which can be reached best and
most effectively by Admiral Dewey's
ships. Besides these clerical prisoners
the Americans themselves hold nearly
$4,000 Spanih soldiers as prisoners,
men captured at the fall of Manila
These are actually On parole about the
city. and the question is how they are
to be returned to Spain. This must be
settled by the peace commissioners at
Paris.

Western Cuba.
Havana. Dec. 10. - Maj. Gen. J. F..
Wade, president Of the United States
evacuation commission, has received
certain instructions from President
Mckinley which seems to indicate that
he will be appointed military governor
Of Western Cuba. A formal announce
ment is daily expected from Washing
ton, though it may be delayed until the
time comes for change of flags. Gen.
Wade's three months Of official resi-
dence here have given him a firm
grasp Of the situation. He has been a
student of social and civil conditions
as we'll as Of military necessities, and
Knows precisely what he would do If
invested with the authority. Gen.
Greene will be governor of the city Of
Havana. He has already virtually
taken hold. as he is having some of the
streets cleaned and is devising meas
ures for the sanitation and policing of
the city.

the Matter Rcopened.
Washington, Dec. 10.-Cardinal Glib
bons, on behalf of himself and the
archbishops of the Catholic church in
America. has submitted a petition to
congress asking that the question of
the contract school system be reopened
and that congress again go over the
whole subject of Indian education.
The petition sets forth at length the
history of the Indian school question
and the legislation applying to it up
to the recent provisions in appropria-
ton bills looking to the gradual dis
continuance of government aid to Sec
tartan schools. The petition asks that
a congressional inquiry be made in
place of the departmental inquiries in
order that the merits and details of
contract schools and government
schools may be shown and mot kept
as Il secret of state concealed in the
files of any department or Offices

HARD TO BEAT,

England Predicted by the Times.
London( Dec. 1.-the Times, dealing
editorially with 1.-THE evidences Of
strong opposition to the annexation
policy in the United States and the
"rumors that America will resell the,
Philippines" says: "Despite all this
we believe that the far Eastern inter-
ests Of the United States and England
will be brought into line and will be
Jointly safeguarded by combination
so strong and imposing that no other
power For powers could venture to
defy it." The Times thinks the advo-
cacy by the Chicago Tribune and the
New York Herald of the joint construc-
ton of the Nicaragua canal is signifi-
cant evidence of the dominance of this
feeling, and adds: whether or not
such combination would he entirely
free from objections we hesitate to say,
but that it is suggested is substantial
proof Of friendly feeling"

THREE MEN KILLED.
Explosion in the Dupont Powder
Works.

Wilmington. Del, Dec. II. - Three
men We're killed and eight injured,
three Of them probably fatally. by the
grinding mills in the Hagley yard Of
the Dupont Powder works. The ex-
plosion occurred in the press room Of
the lower yard works. A carload of
powder was being wheeled into the
room and was accidentally overturned,
and the car wheels running into the
loose powder caused friction that set
the powder atire. The explosions very
quickly followed. all the powder in the
press room going off in five successive
dctonations. The shock of the ex-
plosion shattered windows and dam
aged property in all directions.

Paris, Dec. 11.-Senor Rios, president
of the Spanish peace commission, and
Senior Ojeda, secretary of that commits,
sion, are still confined to their beds.
The illness of Senior Ojeda delays en-
crossing the treaty, and it is doubtful
whether it will be signed before Mon
day. The Americans held their usual
session yesterday.
The papers continue making bitter
comments concerning President Nc
Kinley's reference to the Maine. When
a correspondent of the Associated
Press approached Senior Garnica, Of
the Spanish commission. for further
details of the treaty, he said:
1.-The fact that you represent all the
American and English papers is real
~ a reason why l should say nothing.
But, what you show me as having been
cabled is substantially correct. The
exact number of articles is still unde-
termined. 1t depends upon how Sec
retaries Ojeda and Moore divide the
treaty. 1t may be twelve or twenty
articles. The Americans are to pay
the indemnity within three months Of
the ratification. We shall appoint con-
su,s in Cuba. Porto Rico and the Phil
ippine islands without delay. The
Cuban consuls will be accredited to thas
powers that be-"
Asked why the Spaniards refused to
grant the United States a coaling sta
ton in the Caroline islands, Senior
Garnica said:
1.-The Americans could hardly expect
that we should agree to discuss mat
tiers outside of the protocol. When we
wished to discuss the Cuban debt they
absolutely
Refused to Consider 1t,
and then they ask us for whatever
they want. Quelle tcupet (What
cheeky. Yet the Cuban debt remains
an important question for settlement"
In regard to the Spaniard's final pro-
test on the subject of the Maine, he re.
marked:
'"rhat protest now becomes history,
as it is embodied in the protocol. We
do not wish to remain under an impu-
tation which would perpetuate ami
mostly and hatred against us and
which would be source of constant ir-
ritation in Spain. 1t is neither loyal
nor just that this thing should hang
over. the reputation Of Spain. We can
not submit to it. 1t must be cleared up
i'll justice to ourselves. There are
many other causes to bring hatred be-
tween the two nations without the
addition of such one as this. AS to
the future relations of. the two coun-
tries. that is one of the things history
alone can determine. Many nations
which have been deadly enemies are
speedily reconciled."
Senor Garnica was then questioned
as to the future of the Philippines and
he said: i.
1.-The United States has inaugurated
a policy which will bring it much
trouble and many responsibilities. The
Americans are not prepared for the
work they are about to undertake"
The Americans preserve secrecy re-
garding the terms of the treaty This
is partially through the influence Of
the three senators on the body, who
represent that it would be discourtesy
to tho senate to publish the terms be-
fore the treaty is presented to that
body by the president.
The protocol Of the treaty will al
most reach the dimensions of vol
ume. as it will contain every written
statement presented on both sides dur
ing the conference.
