THE PARIS NEGOTIATIONS.
RESULT CANNOT YET BE PREDICTED
ADVICE FROM ADMIRAL DEWEY.


ADVICE FROM ADMIRAL DEWEY.
Washington. Oct 5-It can be said on author
ity that the various stories published relating to
the work Of the Peace Commission now in Paris.
when they assume to indicate failure OF nego-
tiations. renewal Of hoStties and the dispatch
of naval force to the Spanish coast. are purely
speculative. AS q matter Of fact the Commits
sion has not proceeded so far with its work as
10 warrant the attempt to draw a conclusion as
TO the outcome 1t is not possible to pre-
dict the length Of the session with any accuracy
The proceedings may last one month or three.
That will depend entirely on the view the Amer
lean Commissioners take Of the situation In
Paris II they are convinced that the neGotia-
tions are being conducted with sincerity on the
part of the Spanish Commissioners. there will be
no effort made to force them beyond reason.
But II 1t should appear that the Spanish position
is subject to change that 1t is irreconcilable
with the American demands and that the Span
iards are simply prolonging the proceedings, the
American Commissioners likely to be
promptly recalled.
The Spanish Government Is now fully IN
formed through its Commissioners OF the exact
extent of the demands Of the United States.
Whether these absolute and not subject to
sponsible officials declare that 1t would be ex-
tremely bad policy to make any admission on
this point But the impression in official circles
is that the conditions absolute In their gen.
eral scope. yet there may be opportunity for
slight amendments in matters of detail
As to these details, Admiral Dewey is Of
the most trusted councillors of the American
Commissioners, and such information he has
been able to collect has already been mailed 70
them. and in addition the authorities have
cabled certain extracts from the Admirars OBJ
servations which are believed to be of especial,
Importance. 1t is believed that with his usual
modesty Admiral Dewey has refrained from ex-
pressing any opinion to the extent OF the
American demands in the matter Of territory in
the Philippines. He has not directly suggested
that the whole group be taken nor that the
claim be limited 10 Manila Bay and the contlg
uous territory but he has called attention 10 one
important consideration which has seemed to
escape general observation and which has been
laid before the American Commissioners-that
is. that with all the commercial advantages pos
sessed by Manila the place is indefensible un-
less Subic Bay be also held by the United States.
This bay is regarded as being superior from a
strategic point Of view to Manila Bay and the
Spanish Government has evidently been Of the
same mind for before the outbreak Of hostilites
II about 10 begin extensive scheme Of
defensive works in Subic Bay.

The council transacted very large
amount of business Saturday night.
The machinery of the legislative mill

were INDUCED in, such as take up
time at many of the meetings.
Probably the most important action
ia zen was the passage of the charter

Reports of Committees.

The committee on streets. alleys
and grades, in the matter of the
opening of Pike street, recommended
tn ;. the parties now occupying said
street be allowed to keep possession
thereof until May 1st, 1899, with the
understanding that the building on
the street be removed by that date.
The report was adopted.
The same committee, in the mat
ter OF the grade of Hickory street,
recommended that the matter be al
lowed to rest until action be taken in
the matter of the grade of Sixth
street. The report was adopted.
The commiHee, in the matter of
the drainage of Main street, rec.
commended that the matter be refer
red to the board Of public works and
the board proceed to put in the drain.
The report was adopted. The esti-
matmated cost is $511 20. 1t will be
stone drain, from Front to second
street.
Engineer Thompson explained that
it is proposed to make the drain two
feet square.
Aid. Peterson said that such a
small drain would be insufficient to
drain the water, as the drain will be
nearly level and sand will lodge there
No one could get in to clean it out.
Aid. Bradley moved that the drain
be made two by three feet. The cost
would not be much more, he said.
The board of public works was in.
structed to construct such a drain.
The street committee, in the mat.
ter of the drainage Of Ogle & Davis
addition, recommended that the mat
ter be referred to the city engineer
with power to act. Adopted.
The committee, in the matter OF
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1898-05-13

Aid. Bradley said he understood
that some parties are using sewers
without having paid for them.
The matter of extending the War.
rem street sewer to Forth street was
referred to the sewer committee to
report at the next meeting.
Aid. Bradley complained of the
driving of cattle through the streets
in West Mankato, devastating the
lots of people who have no fences.
Aid. Fowler seconded this, and
suggested that a pound be provided
for the cattle. Aid. Fritz suggested
that If this is done, pen be pro
vided for dogs.
The ordinance providing for char
ter revision was given it's second read
ing and passed by unanimous vote

Railroad Crossings.

Aid. Fritz asked whether it was
not possible to get the railroad COM
panies to place lights at the street
crossings, some of which are dark,
notably the one by the big mill.
Mayor Pau said that he doubted
it, but referred it to the city attor-
ney.
Aid. Zimmerman spoke of the fast
moving of trains in the city, and said
that the roads have not complied
with their promise to place fagmen.
In case of accident, somebody would
be Liable. The trains 60 Is to 80
miles an hour through the cattle yard.
The matter was referred to the city
attorney to consult with the railroad
officials in regard to the lights and
fagmen.
An ordinance was read, requiring
permits to build, repair or remove
anywhere in the city limits to be Sc
cured before the work is done. 1t was
referred to the committee on ordi-
| nances.
The bills were allowed.
A requisition for $149.50 for park
purposes was allowed. No requisition
was made for street work, and In
spector Halstead explained after the
meeting that he had intended to make
a requisition, but had fallen asleep
while the council was in session and
did not wake up until the ado urn
was taken.
A resolution was prepared fixing
the sprinkling district the same as
last year with a few extensions. Un-
der the ordinance, it must lay over
until the next meeting.
