SHE MUST YIELD OR FIGHT.
Exact Terms, which She Must Ac-
cept or Reject. VIII he Presented
by Our Commissioners - All
QuibbliME mt an End.

Washington, Nov. Alt was not I'M
til a late hour that the last paragraphs
Of the long translation Of the Spanish
| note which was presented to the Amer
lean peace commissioners last Wednes-
day was deciphered at the state de-
partment. and most of the members Of
the cabinet were not aware Of the full
contents Of the document until they
called at the White House. 1t appeared
that In addition to the long argument
| which was intended to show that the
word "disposition" used in relation to
the Philippines meant something else
the Spanish note included propo-
sition to submit the Philippine clause
of the protocol to the Interpretation
Of arbitration.
Another cable message followed the
first long message, this time directly
from Judge Day, seeking instructions
definitely on points TO be made in the
American answer yet to be presented.
1t is believed that the peace negotia-
lions are nearing an end, and it is con-
sidered improbable that by the close Of
the present month all of the main fea-
lures of treaty will have been agreed
to formally or the effort to reach an
amicable settlement abandoned.
Our Final Terms.
With view to bringing matters to
speedy close our commissioners, by d.
rection Of the president, early In the
week will lay before the Spaniards the
final and irrevocable demands Of this
country, allowing a specified time in
which our conditions may be accepted
or rejected.

OFFER OF REIMBURSEMENT.
We Will Repay Spain Her Outlay In
Improving the Islands.

We VIII Repay spain Her OHtI0y In
Improving the Islands.
Paris, Nov. 71-The first proposition
here from the United States comniss on
| to the Spaniards regarding the Philip
pine islands was not demand. To
bring the subject under discussion the
Americans merely submitted a proposal
to take over the Philippine Islands and
reimburse Spain the amount spent by
her there on permanent betterments.
Spain declines the terms and the pro-
posal itself. Had she stopped there the
United States would have been COM
PEELED to repeat the proposal as an ulti-
matum or to tender new terms. Spain.
however, put off any consideration OF
terms by declaring that the United
States had no right to impugn her SOW
ereignty in the Philippines, that If her
sovereignty there should pass the
mortgages she had placed on the Phil
ippine revenues must be underwritten
and that her dignity forbade her to
heed any questions as to how she had
spent the loans 30 secured.
The Americans patiently replied that
the peace conference was charged with
the disposition Of the Philippines and
the sovereignty there. They laid down
the broad principle that expenses in
CURED in a futile attempt at subjuga-
ton shall not be loaded upon the colo
ny seeking freedom. Finally they af-
firmed their right to inquire as to the
destination of moneys raised by pedg-
ing the Philippine revenues.
All this postponed discussion of the
main question. but in their next men,
orandum the American commissioners
will go to the vital point. Definite no.
tice will be given that the United States
will take over all the Philippines. and
Spain will unquestionably learn the
terms from which there will be no devil
ation. 1t is more than likely that the
Americans will fatty summon Spain to
effect immediate amicable adjustments.
Should she refuse to make a treaty
ceding the Philippines to the United
States the instant alternative for Amer
lea will be the conquest Of that terri
tory at an increased cost to Spain in
the final settlement and possibly with
loss Of Spanish life. 1t may be held
that the Philippines, II ceded now with
out any terms, would be an inadequate
indemnity to the United States for their
war expenses already incurred and that
Spain cannot expect as a legal or
moral right any monetary concessions.
Philippine acquisition by conquest,
however, would entail upon the United
States a waste of treasure far greater
than a sum that Spain may accept now
as the basis of peaceful cession.

Moreover. although Spain affects to

American commissioners cannot fail to

SIXTH SYMPHONY
 AT THE TIV0LI.
The Largest Audience of the Season and We'll Made Programme
 We'll Played

The programme of yesterdays sym phony concert at the Tivoli-the sixth of the series-was made up and played with tact and good sense and listened to by the largest audience of the season. It was a conspicuously fine programme and one that did not bore the music lovers of the audience by including any of the usual joyful relief pieces.
 Beethoven's Heroic" symphony, work that Scheel has given here before with splendid effect, was the special event and was played with beautiful sorority and analysis. Perhaps the funeral march was played with slightly less nobility and perfection Of detail than at the earlier performance. but on the whole the interpretation and execution were admirable. The scherzo especially was a remarkable achievement, even sur passing the previous performance Tn the unanimous delicacy of the strings. In the Liszt symphonic poem. Les Pre- ludes," composition of remarkable su- perficial brilliancies if not of very deep emotional character, the band displayed excellent variety and discipline. The "Rheingold'' excerpt-"The entrance of the gods into Walhalla'-and Rein ecke's Peace Jubilee" overture com pleted one of the most successsful con certs ever given in San Francisco.

DEPENDED HIS POSITION,
Auditor Frederick Appears Be- fore the Teachers Annuity
 Association,

The Teachers Annuity and Retire ment Fund Association met yesterday at the rooms of the Board of Education to hear from Superintendent of Schools Webster and Auditor Frederick regard ing the controversy between the two officials over payment of the warrants drawn on the fund
 Auditor Frederick claims that he has refused to sign the warrants drawn by the Commissioners because the man ner of handling the funds is not ac- cording to law.
 He explained his position to the teachers, assured them of his friend ship and was given an ovation when he said he would do everything in his power to assist them when the fund was in legal shape.
 He attacked Mayor Phelan and his attorney for unwisely advising the teachers to employ special counsel to test his action, and advised them to wait until they could secure the serv- ices of the District Attorney

Will Not Give Up.

E. c. Fitzpatrick, who was suspended as principal of the Business Evening School by the Board of Education, pending charges against him, has re- fused to vacate his position.
 He wrote the secretary of the board yesterday, in answer to a notification of his suspension, stating that his at torney had advised him that the board had not acted legally and that he would report for duty at the school as usual.
 c. L. Harrington, president of the Board of Education, has declared the action taken by the Committee on Rules and by the full Board of Educa- tion against Principal Fitzpatrick and School Teacher Stanton as void and in valid. He claims that the action of the board was not in conformity with the rules governing the procedure. He cites the following rules as necessary in an action taken against a teacher or a principal

stomach with both feet. Several times it is claimed Lynn repeated his assault, and when they picked the prostrate man up from the floor he had tainted.
 w. D. Vanvales, nephew of the de- ceased, took deep interest in his un- cle's welfare, and he frequently visit ed the asylum. He called on Camari- nos only a few days before his death and he says the demented man was in good physical health then. Late in the forenoon of December s he received a telegram from pr. Sponagle, telling him that CamarinoS was very, ill. Shortly after noon of the same day an- other dispatch was received announc- ing his death
 Vanvales wired back to have the body sent to San Francisco as soon as possible, and early the next morning it arrived. It was taken at once to the undertaking parlors of Halsted & Co, and when the coffin was opened less than twenty-four hours after death had been announced to have taken. place, the body was found to be in an ad- vanced stage of decomposition. Several of the friends of the relatives of the dead man saw the body and at the time they remarked upon the condition the body was in and also discussed the presence of a marked dis coloration about the body in the region Of the stomach and breast. They could not tell. however. whether the marks were from bruises or from natural de- composition.
 The undertaken was of the opinion that Camarinos had been dead at least two and possibly three days when he received the body, and the relatives of the dead man were of the belief that death had possibly occurred before De- cember 8, and that the body was kept day or two at the asylum until de- composition had effaced the marks of the bruises before the relatives were notified of the sudden collapse and death of the demented man.
 The officials and attaches of the asy- lum discredit the story told by Grif- filth. They say even if the scuff1e al- legged to have taken place between Camarinos and Lynn had actually occurred it would have been impossible for Griffith to have witnessed it, for he was confined in ward 2 and Camarinos was a patient in ward 6, and the two wards are on different floors. The con- meeting doors are kept securely locked and the patients of the two wards are not allowed to mingle, as those in ward 6 are of violent type and those in

 position. Relatives of the Deceased N Ot Satisfied With the
 Officials Report. John w. Lynn, the Oakland Homicide, Said to Have
 Caused His Death.
DOCTORS MAKE A DENIAL.
The Officers of the Aunews Institution Declare Cam narinos Received
 Only Humane Treatment

The relatives and friends of the late Peter G. Camarinos, the Hawaiian planter who died on December at the Agnews Asylum for the Insane, are not satisfied with the report of the physi- clans of the Institution attributing the cause of death to paresis and to gen. eral paralysis. They are inclined to be lleve the story of Griffiths, a discharged patent of the institution, who says he saw the special attendant of the un- fortunate man kick and maltreat him only few hours before death occurred.
 That special attendant was John Lynn, who. on the morning of February l, attempted to take the life of his wife by sending several bullets into her body In Oakland. Lynn is now in the Ala meda County Jail, either insane or feigning insanity.
 When Camarinos was sent to the asylum in May of last year the rela- t1ves of the demented man engaged Lynn to take care of him. Lynn was recommended as careful nurse by Dr. Sponagle. the experimenting physician of the Agnews Asylum. A private ward and special room were engaged for the patient and his attendant, and about the time he was taken there a man named John R. Griffiths was ad- mitted to the institution.
 Griffiths had a mild form of dementia. and he was given special liberties about the place for the services he returned to the physicians and attendants Grif- f1ths says he became we'll acquainted with Lynn, and a few days before Ga marines died he declares he saw Lynn cruelty and most shamefully abuse his patient.
 He says he heard Camarinos com plain about the way his breakfast was prepared. and then he says Lynn struck him.
 Camarinos, who was a powerful man and violent at times in his insanity. knocked Lynn down, and was punish ing his nurse severely when two other attendants carne to his assistance. Griffiths says he saw the two men throw Camarinos to the floor and while they held him down on his back Lynn jumped on him. landing on his
