SPAIN NOW SEEKS TO COMPROMISE
CUBAN DEBT ISSUE.
1T MEANS FURTHER DELAY
DILATORY METHOD OF PROCEDURE
DUE TO SPANIARDS.
They Insisted Upon the Plan of Writ
ten Exchanges. Rather Than
Verbal 9iscussion-Le Temps
Prin-. Spanish COn;en-
tion as to Cuba.

PARIS, Oct. 22-The United States peace
commission held two sittings to-day to
consider the voluminous communication
presented yesterday by the Spanish COM
missioners.
This new proposition of the Spaniards
looks to a compromise between the re-
fusal of the Americans to assume any of
the Cuban debt. and the Spanish holding
that the United States should assume it
wholly.
The terms of yesterdays proposal are
obviously unknown, save to the commits
sioners. The American commissioners will
reply to the communication at Mondays
joint session and an extended argument
will then follow and will carry the matter
over possibly to another meeting.
LIE Temps this evening deals editorially
with the work of the Spanish and Ameri-
can peace commissioners. remarkng at the
outset that little progress has thus far
been made in the negotiations. Both sides.
the paper says have the best intentions.
No Spaniard desires a renewal of hostili-
ties and no American has the purpose to
crush the vanquished adversary.
LIE Temps then cites the methods of writ
ten interchanges between the commission
ers as a cause of the slow progress and
says it is very evident that such procedure
has been adopted to retard and complicate
the progress of the negotiations. such q
system of n1onologues instead of dialogues
requiring illimtable time. labor and good
humor.
1t should be parenthetically stated that,
though contra-allegations have been made.
the plan of written interchange had its
birth in the Spanish commission the Amer
leans having been more disposed to free
hand discussion to the end of more speedily
arriving at conclusions.
On this point LIE Temps is clearly mis-
Informed when It affirms that the Span
iards would have been glad to simplify the
procedure, and that Senor Abarzuza, of
the Spanish commission. attempted a free
discussion. instead of long writings, but
was not listened to. This last statement
is also misinformation. as all utterances
on both sides are received with due con-
siderat!on.
LIE Temps, continuing. remarks that the
present tumbers ONE methO : emp.oyed here

PRESIDENT DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED,
1T Is DECLARED.
NO PUBLIC RECEPTION THERE
APPARENT INDIFFERENCE WAS
DUE TO SEVERAL CAUSES.
Only Fifteen Minutes Allotted to Gin
cinnati and There Was n Gem
eraI Misunderstandinga as to
Time of the Party's
Arrival.

CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 22-From dis
patches received to-day from parties on
the presidential train, it appears that the
president was disappointed deeply at the
manner he was received in Cincinnati
There was no demonstration in the Union
STATEN, no cheering, no committee of re-
ception and, of course no speech by the
president.
Tkis apparent Indifference in the great
city OF Cincinnati, when vast crowds greet
ed the president at small villages and
towns, was due to several causes. In the
first place, only fifteen minutes time had
beer allowed to Cincinnati in the original
schedule Of the train. This was to be early
in the afternoon Late or Thursday it
was announced that this fifteen minutes
would come later in the day-the exact
time not fixed. y further complication
arose from the fact that the train was to
be transferred here from the Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton TO the Baltimore &
Ohio Southwestern.
The natural place for the transfer is at
the junction on Mill creek-an inaccessible
point for q crowd. Thus there was no pub
lie knowledge either of the time or place
for the reception.
Meantime. the chamber of commerce had
appointed a committee of reception, with
its president Robert H. West; ex-Presl-
dent McAilister, General A. Hickenloope-
and j. A. Schmidlapp, as members. SUI
perintendent Murray. of the chamber of
commerce, wired on Thursday for specific
information Of the time and place for the
committee to reach the presidents train
desiring TO give notice to the. public. No
answer to this message was received at
all, though efforts were made all day FRI
day to secure one. So it happened that
the committee was unable to act, or to give
the desired notice to the public
To add to the uncertainty. an afternoon
paper announced that the train would not
come into the Union station.
Thus It happened that the president OF
the United States visited the chief city of
his native state without the greeting that
Its citizens were anxious to give. The Do
lice ane the newspaper men who had the
tact to find out when the president was
coming were on hand, but there was no
public reception for the reasons stated.

WHEN DOES MY TRAIN GO?
This Is the Question That Brings Out
Gray Hairs on Union Depot
Attaches.

AttucHcss
when does my train leave?" is the ques-
ton heard countless times each day in
every conceivable tone of feminine voice
at the Union depot by officials in uniform
and attaches not in uniform. 1t presumes
the omniscience of the one questioned. but,
strange as it may be, omniscience, or even
mind reading, is not among the Qualifica-
tionS required of a depot employe. The
question is asked from early morning until
the last train at night draws reluctantly
out and away from the long sheds of the
deserted platform; by every type from the
tired little woman who has held her fret
full baby all day on the hard benches to
the exponent of woman's rights with COM
