PHILIPPINES.
Their Sale Has Never Been
Considered.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The discussion
of the details of the administration Of
government affairs in Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines, under the
treaty of peace, which Is about to be
signed in Paris occupied a large part
of the time at today's cabinet meet
ing.
The establishment of d new postal
system in Cuba was regarded as a
necessity. The present purpose is to
fashion new system so far as prac-
ticable upon our own model. Cable
grams were read from Admiral Dewey
and Gen. Otis at Manila giving their
views as to the number of troops that
it would be necessary to keep in the
Philippines during the administration
OF the military government.
Further than this the contents of
these messages were not made public,
but the information received, it was
stated was entirely satisfactory to
the president Nothing had been
heard from Paris up to the close of
the cabinet meeting. An official denial
is authorized that the sale of the Phil
ippine island to any other nation has
never been considered by this govern
ment, and it is stated that the pub
lished statement to the effect that their
sale to Japan had been under discus
sion, was altogether false.
The cabinet also talked over an elab-
crate tariff measure, which is now in
preparation here, to go into force, as
now planned, contemporaneously with
the entire REIMBURSEMENT of Cuba
by the Spanish on January 1, This
tariff measure, it is said, will show an
average reduction all along the line of
about so per cent from the Spanish
tariff rates. The understanding now
is that there will be no export duties
and that in other ways the burden of
taxation will be reduced.
Postmaster General Smith remained
in consultation with the president al
most the entire afternoon, talking over
the scheme of postal administration in
Cuba. There are two projects consid-
cred, one to establish a United States
system. similar to that now operating
in Porto Rico under direct admins
tratiOn and full control of the United
States, and the other to give the Gu
bans an independent postal system to
be established and equipped by the
United States government, but to be
operated and administered and all ex-
penses paid by the Cubans, this gov
eminent merely furnishing equipment
at cost prices and assuming only a SUI
perVisOry connection with il. A de-
cision on this point will be reached
shortly. Postmaster Gen. Smith will
send several representatives of the
post office department to obtain infor-
nation as to condition and needs.

WANAMAKER AND GORDON.
Counsel fer Senator QuaYHas subpoened
Them for His IRA.

Philadelphia. Dec 9.-Counsel for
Senator Quay, in the conspiracy charges
for which he is to be tried next week,
today subpoened ex-Common Pleas
Judge James Gay Gordon and ex-Post-
master General John Wanamaker as
witnesses Tor the defense. This news
is interesting, in view of the known OPP
position of both of these men to SEN
ator Quay, politically, and in view of
the charges recently made by Senator
Penrose in which he stated that the
charges against Senator Quay were
the result of a conspiracy to defeat
him for reelection to the United
States Senate, and in his place name a
person favorable TO Messrs. Wanna
maker and Gordon. Subpoenas were
also served upon several persons in
Judge Gordon's law office.

AUST DOOM.
John Anderson Hanged at Norfolk for the
Murder Of Captain and Mate.

Murder Of Captain and Mate
Norfolk, Va, Dec. 9.-John Andersen,
the condemned murderer of Mate Saun-
ders of the schooner Olive Pecker was
executed in the city Jail at p. m. to-
day He marched from his cell to
the scaffold unsupported, and with
firm step assembled the steps without
assistance. After prayer by Rev. J.
b. Merritt, chaplain of the Seamen's
Bethel, who kissed him goodbye, An
derson made short speech, saying he
had forgiven the men who swore his
life away, and would die at peace with
the world and God. He spoke pleas
antly to and smiled at the death watch
ers and TO the crowd below. and in a
firm voice said: Il am ready"
AT 3.06 o'clock the trap was sprung,
and Andersen's body shot downward
The rope parted just inside the knot,
and his body fell to the cobble stones.
Officers and witnesses rushed to the
body and snatched the cap from the
head and found blood oozing from
mouth, nose and eyes. A doctor was
called, and soon Andersen opened his
eyes, and it was said, began to
breathe. He was carried feet foremost
up the stairs to the platform and laid
down until a chair was obtained. He
was then placed in this, but he never
spoke. Preparations for re-hanging
him We're hurriedly made The other
end of the rope was adjusted around his
neck, He was raised to a standing
posture and the straps again placed on
his limbs, While being supported by
the officers, the trap was again sprung.
In % minutes life was pronounced ex-
tinct. Nine minutes elapsed between
the first and second drops. Andersen's
neck was broken, supposedly by, the
last drop Marshal Treat refused to
turn the body over to the Virginia An
atomical Society, and it was placed in
la handsome casket and buried in the
seamen's lot in Elmwood cemetery.

The day had gone by when the COM
mercial traveller was spoken of with re-
proach and disagreeable epithet; there
was no room now in the commercial
travellers organization but for perfect
gentlemen and the brightest and ablest
of clean business men. From the sue
Cessful travelling man, came the sue
cessful merchant and manufacturer.
The successes in Worcester that had
contributed to make the city one OF
the greatest industrial and business
centres of the country, were due large
ly to the ability of the travelling men,
who had represented the different man
ufacturing and mercantile houses of
the city. Little would the inventive
genius and mechanical skill of Worces-
ter's men have counted for, had it not
been for the bright statesmen on the
road who had made the productions Of

Gunnison spoke of standing in the

AS Mr. Thayer rose to his feet. he
was greeted with a storm of applause
that prevented anything but the con-
gressman-elect bowling his apprecia-
tion of the signs of goodwill shown him
by the travelling men.

have been sent TO Manila with flag

The wounded Spanish officers, with
one exception, are at Cavite.
The Spanish Brigadier Moret was
killed at San Fernando in an attempt
to force the rebel lines.
An American official at Cavitc writes
as follows:
IF great bloodshed and destruction
come to Manila Spain may justly
blame the Germans. Manila would
have surrendered before the arrival of
the German squadron without blood
shed, but now owing to the moral sup
port Of its presence the city refuses to

Evidently at this point the American
transports appeared and the boasting
Spanish officer ran off, leaving the let

NAVY IS WAITING.
Main Portion Of SIMPSONS Fleet Lies
Patiently in Front of Moro.
Is the Opinion Among Naval Expcrts

burned by the Spanish Troops
Before They Surrender.

VfF SANTIAGO DE CCBA, June %, via
Kingston, jamaica, June 97-Wbjlc
the army advances the main norton
OF the fleet lies patiently in front Of
MORO castle awaiting its opportunity.
Before the end of next week the fate
Of Santiago and Adm. Ccrvera should
be decided.
BY that time it is believed, the Span.
lsh troops will have been forced back
upon the city and defeated in a de-
cIsive engagement. simultaneously
the forts at the mouth Of the harbor
should bc captured, under cover Of q
naval bombardmcnt.
Three things will then be left TO
Cervcra-to surrender with his ships
to surrender after destroying his ships.
or to make dash out to sure dcs.ruc.
ton. lie may forestall fate by max
ing an attempt TO get out of the har.
Dor before the army accomplishes its
end. The first Spanish ship to appear
of Morro Castle would be sunk within
10 minutes. Nothing in Adm. Ger.
vcra'S fleet could survive the concen-
trated fire of all the battle ships in
the navy and three of the best cruis-
crS.
The general opinion among naval
C Xpcrts is that Santiago town will be
burned by the Spanish troops before
they surrender, that Adm. Cervera will
destroy his ships and that he will then
submit 10 the enemy. If this supposi- .
ton is correct the whole work should .
be accomplished in a week. 1t is .
hardly likely that the army can effect
It's purpose without considerable loss,
its superiority in numbers
