MUST GIVE THEM UP.
A Million Il the Most That VIII he Paid
for the Philippines.

-.
New York. Nov. ia dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says: Instead OF
paying $40. 10000 300 as an indemnity for the
cession of the Philippines to the United
States. President Mckinney intends TO re-
imburse her only for the debt OF about
President Mckinley and his cabinet nave
carefully noted that the sentiment ex-
pressed throughout the country by the
elections has been I'm opposition to the
suggestion to indemnify Spain to the
extent OF those proposed.
As was put out by the authorities. II
was intended to give the capital of the
entire debt fioated. with TIE Phi ippines as
secured and amounting to $40, .O0o. What
will be paid by the United States, ac-
cording to the present intention OF the
president Is the debt contracted BY Spain
for the establishment of lighthouses. har-
Dor improvements and public buildings.
All told. this does not amount TO a very
large sum. being fixed at about H.o0o,ooo
Friends of Spain say that Il is an outrage
for the president to offer such a small
sum
Perhaps II would be the best thing for
Spain II she would rid herself OF the
Philippines said one of these GENTLE
men. but surely II is not right that the
United States shout satisfy only a small
portion Of the debt. leaving her with the
remainder on her hands and with a low
treasury to meet IT,"
II is not believed in official circles here
that Spain will withdraw her commissions
ers from Paris. She has no desire to lose
the Canary islands. and she is apprehen-
siye hat I'm case OF n resumption OF hos
tilities the government of the United
States would seize and perhaps hold them.
a high administration official says that
i'm case of the withdrawal OF the Spanish
commissioners the United States would
complete the military occupation of the
Philippines and would take such other
steps as II might deem advisable for the
protection of this country's rights in the
far East.
From Mr.. Day the officials have learned
that the American commissioners have
submitted to the Spaniards their proposal
10 surrender the Islands. and II is said
now that the American Commissioners are
so satisfactorily Endorsed by the recent
elections In the United States that the
Spanish government will accept the
American proposal.

the iron trade has been rather bare of
new business and the desire to see the
election over before new contracts were
made has been frequently expressed.
II Is therefore a significant feature
that this week more inquiry is to be re-
ported for pig iron n although new
orders are not as yet numerous, this
fact itself Is an encouraging one. par
ticularly as a further gain in produc-
ton during October Is reported. In
the steel rad there Is rather more
anxiety for new business and some
price shading to secure II Is reported.
The mainstay of the allied industries at
present is undoubtedly the immense x-
port demand. which Is taking the avail
able freight room capacity to accom-
modate and. with the strength abroad,
is likely to furnish q needful outlet the
coming winter.
The steel rail commission is still in
process OF arrangement. a joint selling
agency Is outlined and reports are even
