The latest news from the Dawson con-
tingent of Yakimtes was brought out by
J. J. Mckay who came down on the Al
hi. He was the bearer of messages and
money from Judge Morford, the latter
amounting to $4,000. All of this sum
was not the judges personal savings but
the most of it was, and was sent in to
Mrs. Morford in the form of drafts. Mr.
Mckay reported meeting Dan Simmons
before he left and stated tn at camps were
40 numerous and close together on the
Yukon that he could have come out with
out any outfit and would have been able
to stop in camp comfortably every night.
A recent letter from Geo. Weikel to
Senator Lesh, dated at Pyramid Harbor
states that the Cameron party which
partially Quilted here is still camped q
short distance above the harbor waiting
for the snow to harden little more be-
fore moving on into the interior. This
expedition has developed into a genuine
railroad proposition, preliminary sur
vey having already been run 80 miles in
land and grade stakes set part Of the way.
There pre- no great obstacles to be over
come and the scheme seems favorable
one in every way. There are two rival
roads on the ground attempting to go in
on the same route. George writes that
all of the Yakima people are in good
health and good spirits and more than
satisfied with the prospects.

met them on the Yukon river on their
way down as he came out. They were

AGUlNALDO,S REPRESENTATIVE
In Paris Speaks About the Attitude Of
the Philippines

Paris, October 17.-Philippo Agoncil-
10, the representative of 'Aguinaldo, the
insurgent leader of the Philippine is
lands, was interviewed today by the
correspondent here Of the Associated
Press. Agancillo's apartments at the
Hotel Continental are on the same
foor as the rooms occupied by the
United States peace commissioners.
He is DESTROYS of seeing the commits
sioners and placing A~guinaldo's views
of the future of the Philippines before
them.
Would the Filippinos accept annex
alton or a protectorate Of the United
States?" Agoncillo was asked.
we want independence, but the Fill
ippinoS have a recognized govern
ment, of which Aguinaldo is president,
and it will determine our attitude to-
ward a protectorate or annexation"
Should the United tates take all
or n part of the Philippines would
the Filippinos fight the United States
as they have fought Spain?"
Il cannot answer without possible
error; but l think it would be unwise
for the United States TO divide the
Philippine islands. They should take
all or none"
IF the United States gives up the
Philippine stands will the Filippinos
continue to fight the Spanish"
Il think So"
rs it true the Filippinos do not OBJ
ject TO the continuance Of the native
priests?"
Yes, but the religious orders should
be abolished"
Agoncillo, contrary to the generally
accepted version of his visit in tbs
United States and elsewhere, says he
has not come here to seek a hearing
before the commission, but to learn the
determination of the commissioners re.
garding the Philippine islands and Il
communicate ii to Aguinaldo. Agon
clio, thus far, has not communicated
with the commission. and the Spanish
commission. while unwilling. naturally
to summon Agoncillo. is exceedingl,
anxious to know what representations

THE Ii DEBT
The Subject of Discussion Before the
Peace COmmfssfOners-Our Commits
siOners Firm IN their Position.

Paris, October 1.-THE peace CON-
mission held a joint session and adj
journed to meet next Wednesday.
During today's session the commits
sioners were occupied with the con-
sideration of the Spanish presentation
of Tuesday last and the American an
swer, submitted on Friday, relating to
Cuba and the debt of the island. The
examination of the American written
canvass On the subject was not con-
cluded today and will be continued at
the next joint meeting, following
which the Spaniards will doubtless re-
ply in writing, the conclusion of the
subject o o following.
The interchanges regarding Cuba are
now so advanced that the SpaniardS
will not fail to understand the United
States determination not to assume
part or the who'll of the so-called Cuba
debt of $500, 900, 900. 1t SHOULD not be
forgotten, however, that the American
attitude in Cuba is held not to be that
of an acquiring power, either of terri
tory or of it's real or constructive OBJ
legation. The opposing Spaniards
keenly contend that sovereignty in
wolves burdens as we'll as blessings,
and that both shOuld pass together
from Spain.
Close following this contention, the
Spaniards are pressing for a construc-
ton of the word 'relinquish' in the
Cuban article of the protocol. w
must" they urge 'relinquish sOver-
eighty over Cuba, but to whom? We
have not agreed to relinquish to the
Cubans. We r%elinquish to the United
States" Thus crystaliZing the reason
ing and insistance, the S~paniards bind
debt and sovereignty together and urge
that the REIMBURSEMENT must be to the
United States.
While this contention is keenly and
vigorously suppNted, it has not shak-
en- the position of the Americans, who
cut the thread of Spanish diplomacy
in the middle of the word "relinquiSh'
by practically assuring the Spaniards
that they need not cherish anxiety as
to whom to reiinquish, but to conform
to the fourth article of the protocol,
which pledges Spain that Cuba, Porto
Rico and the other Spanish islands III
the West Indies shall be Immediately
evacuated" Briefly, the American re-
Spouse to Spanish diplomacy of con-
struction and definition was that the
words 'relinquish" and "~evacuate' are
interchangeable and have the same
meaning.
Thus, three sessions were given up
patiently meeting SPANS views and
contentious touching the protocol
pledge to r%elinQuish sovereignty over
and title to Cuba and there is posi-
bilitv of two sessions more.

Havana. October 17.-One of the
most remarkable phases Of the situa-
ton here at present is the zeal of the
Spanish officials to prevent the publ
cation at this late day Of pictures
showing the ~squalor in which the poor
or classes here exist. Yesterday after
noon an American named hlnS WAS
arrested opposite the Hotel Inglaterra
for taking a snap shot of a group OF
children. The surprise which he felt
at his arrest was increased by the eX-
PLANTATION afforded him, which was to
the effect that such steps were necessa-
ry to prevent the publication of pictures
which would be regarded in the United
States as Illustrating the condition OF
the subjects of Spain. Mr.. King, how
ever explained matters and protested
his innocence of any intention to pub
liSh the pictures and was allowed MS
liberty after his name and address had
been taken.
The day previous an American cler-
gyman, Rev. Mr.. Thomas, was arrest
ed by officers for taking photographs of
the wreck of the Maine. He was TAX
en- on board the Spanish cruiser Alton
so XII, where he remained two hours.
Mr.. Thomas was released after being
subjected to a severe crOss-eXamina-
ton, during which he proved his ignO-
rance of the Spanish orders f~orbiddlnS
the photographing of the wreck.
A few days ago an American book
store was entered and the proprietor
fined for selling the Cuban papers, Es-
trella, Independent and Critic do Yara.
The American military commission
held a conference at their headQuar-
ters in the Trocha hotel today. Senior
Giranta, secretary of the Spanish com
mission, presented to the American
commissioners an official note setting
forth the times when the next detach-
ments of Spanish troops will leave
here.
The city council at its session of Sat
| urday last decided to charge the Amer
lean military commissioners S12. 20 each
for six plans of Havana, furnished to
them at their request.

LAYING DOWN TERMS TO SPAIN
a Crisis In the Negotiations of the
Feace CommtssiOners Uncle sam
Will Put Up with No Mere Delay

London, October 1S.-A dispatch to a
London news agency from Paris says:
To-day (Monday) the conference
Judge Day presented the demands of
the American commissioners in threat
ening words. He said that DELAY was
the only possible object attainable by
the persistent efforts Of the Spanish
commissioners to saddle the United
States with the Cuban debt and would
be tolerated no longer, as the United
States would neither assume nor guar
antee any part of the debt.
The Spaniards replied that this
placed spain in a position Of repudiat-
ing or of reducing the face value Of the
cuban bonds from so to so per cent,
paying only one-half the stipulated in
terest on the reduced value. Before
they would adopt either alternative
they would surrender to the United
States the entire Philippines.
Judge Day responded hat the sur
render of the Philippines would prob
ably be demanded irrespective of the
Cuban or any other debt.
This, to the S~paniards the first in
timatiOn of the intentions of the Unit
nv hiipp4iCS' SUI
ed in a whispered conference, followed
by a request for an adjournment in or
der TO communicate with Madrid.
Judge Day said that President McKin-
ley had instructed him TO demand the
entire surrender of Porto Rico, tomor-
row CTuesday) and the delivery of ev-
cry town to the United States officers
before midnight, together with the
evacuation of Havana on or before No
vember 1st, when the United States
would be at the gates of the city ready
to take possession.
"There was no alternative offered in
the case of either Of these demands, and
the session consequently was very
brief. The American commissioner
have received dispatches from Wash
ington indicating hat the administra-
tin is irritated and indignant over the
| delay Of the Sp%aniards."

The Tobacco Combine Off

Louisville. KY, October 1.-THE
Evening Post today prints the follow
ing: 1t is announced here that the big
tobacco combination is the thing of
the past and that there is no further
chance of the Continental Company
forming the combination expected, and
that all negotiations are off forever.
The purchase of the Drummond and
the Brown plants at St. Louis last week
was made by the American Tobacco
Company, with the exception of put
ting them in the combination. These
companies will now be operated by the
American Tobacco Company. Con-
corning the Louisville companies, 1t
is stated hat they would not enter the
combination and it is intimated that a
part of the hitch which caused the
failure of the combination was due to
companies in this city who wanted
more for plants than the combine
would give.

Messenger Bureau,

RaleiSh4 N e., October Il.
There continues to be no n OF
trouble about the mastering out of the
Second regiment. The war depart
ment declines to muster out the vari-
Gus companies at their respective
points of rendezvous, because this is
too expensive. II decides to muster
them out in groups; for instance,
three at Asheville, two at Charlotte,
etc. No one knows when this will be-
gin; il is thought November IND.
Meanwhile men whom the notices did
not reach are coming in here, TO camp,
under the belief that the orders TO re-
port here October 18th held good. Some
of these men very foolishly sold or
gave away their blankets and have TO
depend upon other soldiers for warmth.
An officer said today he expected that
as many as 400 men would be here
by the night Of the 18th. Nothing was
more difficult than TO get notices TO
them not to come.
