We have little belief that 1t is intended
now or ever was intended that Camara' Is
feet shall go to Manila. Popular dis
gust had grown SO demonsUrative that
it had to get out of Cadiz harbor and go
somewhere. To go to the West Indies
was to follow Cervera to absolute and
certain destruction, and after once start
ing there would be no plausible excuse
for turning hack. But it could start in
the direction of the Philippines with a
reasonable hope that plenty of ex-
ouses might be forthcoming for stopping
and turning back long before it got
there. 1t might not be able to get through
the Suez canal, or might not be able
to secure the necessary amount of coal If
it did to continue the journey, or the
threatening of the Spanish coast by Anne
rican iron olads might compel it's recall,
or negotiations for peace might be start
ed before it got beyond thu reach of the
cable. Which one of these excuses will
come to its rescue we cannot say, Ebut
that one of them Will be available

hagrant.violationIof .sneutralityltha would
make Chilli responsible to us in heavy

When taken to the police station
Jessen was raving again. but became

Spain Sending More Troops TO the
Philippines.
New York, Oct. 1O.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
The United States may submit a Dip
lomatic protest to Spain through the
French government against its action
in sending a Spanish auxiliary cruiser,
loaded with arms and ammunition, TO
the Philippines. In any event, the mat
ter is under consideration, and II Is be-
lieved has been called to h attention
OF the American commissioner in Paris.
The cruiser in question 10 the Buenos
Ayres, belonging to the Spanish auxil-
larry navy, which Rear Admiral Dewey
reported to the navy department e v
eral days ago. is due to arrive in Sing
apore on Oct. 10.
1t Is appreciated by the authorities
that Spain has the same right In the
yves OF international law to send REIN
forcements to the Philippines as this
government has. and any protest made
would b. of the most diplomatic char
acter Inc simply designed to make IL

her undoubted privilege. IL she deems II
advisable to do 90, to send troops to the
eastern islands to subdue any insurrec-
ton that may occur. Another member
Of the cabinet who talked the matter
over with the president. admitted that
Spain has the moral right to dispatch
reinforcements to the Philippines. but
as the forces OF their government are
in control II Is within their authority
to prevent such achievements from
reaching their destination. However. II

From the dispatch received from
\ Chairman Day. the authorities are still
of the opinion that the o OF the
peace commission will be completed be-
fore congress meets. Mr.. Day takes
quite an optimistic view OF the situa-
ton. 1t Is his desire to limit the time
OF discussion of the various points
raised as much as possible. In order
that the negotiations may reach an ear
ly conclusion. Information which has
been received here shows conclusively
that Spain has no further hope OF for
