SPAIN GIVES IN.
Won't Insist on Assumption of Cuban Debt
any Longer.

Paris, October 27.-The Spanish govern
ment, through its peace commission, has
acuuiesced in the refusal by the United
States to assume the Cuban debt. Senor
Montero Rios, the president of the Span
ish commission, and his colleagues with
faithful inslstence, sought another result.
but they have finally agreed that the
Cuban article of the protocol shall with
out conditions, have place in the ulti-
mate treaty of peace.
Tins Spain agrees to relinquish sover-
eighty over and claim to Cuba without
either terms or conditions.
AL questions regarding Porto Rico and
the selection of the island of Guam were
also arranged and the commissioners
found themselves we'll nigh touching the
Philippine question, which will be taken
up next week. Thus progress has been
achieved and the Spaniards have learned
that the Americans purpose is to effect
here a peace treaty if direct methods,
patient effort and painstaking considera-
tion on. their part can secure that result.
The adjustment so far attained Is per
manent accomplishments.

OUR CONCESSIONS AS TO CUBA.
Washington, October a7.-The intima-
tion conveyed by the American commits
sioner to the Spanish commissioners at
today's session of the peace conference at
Paris, that the position Of the United
States with respect to Cuba and the
Cuban debt could not be regarded AS sub.
ject to change and that consequently the
American commissioners were ready to
proceed with the consideration of other
heads under the protocol, the Paris ad-
vices show, had the desired effect.
The one concession as to Cuba that our
commissioners will make will be to guar
antee for the United States that life and
property shall be secure in Cuba. This
responsibility the United States will as
sume only until such time as sta BILE
government shall bs formed and opera
tive in Cuba. There will be no psrpetual
guarantee on this score.

Philadelphia, Pa, October 81. For
three hours today W William Mckinley,
Commander in Chief of the United States
Army and Navy, saw his victorious
soldiers and sailors pass in review before
him.
1t was military and naval day of the
great peace jubilee. twenty-five thous-
and men marched in tine most brilliant
ana spectacular pageant the country has
witnessed in any years.
Within a semi-eircle enclosure of the
erect and uncovered throughout the entire
procession. AS the procession went by his
face was set, but moi stern, andsin his eyes
was gleam of satisfaction. Here and
there. when some particularly renowned
body of troops marched by, ths Presiden t
smilingly waved his hat and motioned
to the crowds across the way to cheer the
men.
Mrs. Mckinley viewed the procession
from small stand on the top of the
conservatory Of the Lippincott mansion,
Immediately behind the larger stand
where her husband stood. She, too, was
not chary Of applause.
There was not an untoward feature of
the day, the weather was fine, the vast
crowds were handled with commenda BILE
skill, and whatever accidents occurred
were trivial.
|, Mr.. Mckinley arose early this morning
and, after light breakfast, taken in his
apartments, he and his party were driven
in open carriages along the route OF the
parade, about seven miles in length. The
drive was marked by incessant applause
from the crowds While driving up Broad
street, the party passed General Miles and
his staff, who were riding to the place of
formation. The moment the general s
sword made its salutatory sweep. the
President arose in the carriage and raised
his hat, holding it aloft until they had
passed. Returning to the Bellevue the
President and party were escorted by a
squadron OF the First city troop of cav

she will be deprived of the Philippines

HIS CLIENT DENIES THAT HE KNOWS
 MISS OLIVER
The Girl, However, Reiterates Her StorN Laughs at Brandes' Evasion and Declares She Visited His Berkeley Home and Saw
 Poor Little Lillian BrutaIy
 Beaten by His Wife,

". A. Brandes' duplicity and utter lack of honor, further proof of which is given by his courtship of 1S-year-old Emma Ol- iver while representing himself to be a single man, as published exclusively in The Call yesterday morning, seems to be only equaled by his dense stupidity.
 The man who is Straining every nerve fo save his neck from the hangman's moose has heretofore been credited with possessing a certain amount of shrewd- ness, largely because of the adroit man. ner in which he has apparently succeeded fin explaining away various suspicious cir cumstances tending to connect him and the woman who bears his name with the cruel death of his little daughter. Brandes is evidently not shrewd. He is cunning but his cunningness is apparently of the shallow variety that serves for a brief space to deceive the uninitiated and falls away like mask when subjected to scru- tiny. His act in writing a letter to Miss Oliver after his arrest on the charge of murder, in which he kept up the pretense that he was single and that the man charged with the horrible crime was his brother, was a piece of foolishness bor- dering on the idiotic, and is so characte ized by the accused mans attorneys.
 That story published in The Call this morning was a great surprise to me and will prove a strong card for the prcsecu- tion," said Attorney J. E. Bennett yester- day afternoon. That is he added eau tiously, If BrandeS really wrote that let ter. do not believe he could have done thing so supremely foolish If he did it was worse than foolish; 1t was idiotic. However, l have no apprehension that such letter exists and 1t will probably

WHARF REPAIRING BIDS.
An Irregular Proposal Before the Harbor Commission That
 Threatened a Storm.

The State Senate Investigating Con- mittee on Harbor Commission affairs met yesterday and immediately adjourned, consequently the board went into a meet ing of its own, President Colnon in tho chair and Commissioners Harney and HerOld on the side.
 The matter of repairing Union-street wharf brought out ten eager bidders. Just before the sealed envelopes were opened the representative of the Darby Laydon Company sent in word that he desired to withdraw his bid and imme- diately return it. His request was irreg- ular and was refused. He then stated that the board would find that by reason of a clerical oversight his bid was un- signed. This brought out a vigorous pro- test from other bidders present. They designated 1t as contractors trick, and if that bid was found to be the lowest the next lowest bidder would enjoin the com ing contract. The board decided, how ever, to open the Darby Laydon bid first, let the agent sign it and consider the pro- posal with the others. The bid was for $40O1 92. and all who knew their own fig ures were above this renewed their pro- tests.
 The bids ran: Cotton Brothers, s43S9 10;

be shown when the time comes that the girls story Is nothing more than lot of idle gossip"
 Notwithstanding an attempt to be cheer full, however, the attorney could not hide his disgust and chagrin at the latest development in the case. It is no secret that Brandes' past Is ~iVing his attorneys a great deal of concern and everything of this nature that is brought to the surface makes their task all the harder.
 Brandes was inclined to make light of the story when seen in the County Jail, but he denied any knowledge of Miss Ol- iver. He disposed of the matter thus:
 My mother was lady; my sister is a lady, and l would not say anything to in jure lady. 1 have no recollection of Miss Oliver and l am quite sure l never met any one answering her description, or of that name"
 "Of course" he added. swelling out his chest and twirling his mustache, T knew a great many ladies. but l do not remem- Der all their names. 1 never told any lady l was single, but did not show every one ] met my marriage certificates If Miss Oliver says she has letter written to her by me she Is mistaken. have never writ ten to her and do not know her"
 Miss Oliver did not realize the impor- tance and probable consequence of her connection with Brandes until she saw her name in print. and now she lives in constant dread of being summoned as a witness in the case. She kept herself se- cluded yesterday and only consented to be seen after she had been assured that the caller was Call reporter and not a Deputy Sheriff with subpoena for her to appear in court.
 The girl who says Brandes paid court to her Is pretty and petite. and does not look to be IS. which she acknowledges to be her age, even though she wears eye glasses. In fact. the glasses are decid- edly becoming. Without them she would . appear to be scarcely more than a child When told that Brandes denied any recol- lection of her she threw up both hands with little gesture of surprise

Injunctions were in the air and all classes of troubles were threat ening. But the clouds were happily dis pelled as the remaining sealed envelope contained the bid of James McMahon for S3S14 75. This probably saved the State mess of litigation, as the other bidders were determined to protest against the Darby Laydon proposal should 1t have been the winner. President CoInon ex- plained that he allowed the signing of the bid then because he was satisfied that 1t was only a clerical error, as Darby Lay don never put in a bid or proposal of any sort that did not contain an error of some kind. They even sent gold coin instead of the signed check which must accom- pany every bid
