Quoted the President.

New York. Sept 1S.-Generals Shafter
and Wheeler returned to New York to-
day by the same train.
General Wheeler denied that he had
said, in an interview during his journey
South. that President Mckinley had OBJ
served to him that the was is not yet
over.
Moreover" said the General. ''Pres!-
dent Mckinley never used such an eX-

an opinion that considerable portion OF
the volunteer force would be retained
until peace is signed"
General Wheeler added that in his
opinion the Cubans and Porto Ricans
will be found tractable to the wishes of
this Government. Il have learned" he
said. that you can accomplish nothing
by dealing harshly with Cubans, but by
reasoning with them you can get them to
do nearly anything you desire. | do nOt

Rico"
General Wheeler left for Montauk
Point to assume command of the cavalry
division. General Shafter will probably

casket containing the remains of the late
Empress of Austria, borne on a four
horse car and followed by two other
cars almost buried in floral offerings,
was conveyed to the railroad station here

course of people witnessed the ceremony.
The cortege was led by the representa-
tives of the Imperial Court, followed by
the Federal Council, headed by the
President and Genevese council The
funeral train left here at 8 o'clock. The
funeral car was ornamented with silver
wreaths, was surmounted by y silver
cross and had white plumes at each

with silver mountings. 1t was almost
hidden beneath floral tributes.

Washington, Sept 14.-Three members
Of the peace commission, Secretary Day,
Senator Davis and Whitelaw Reid, were
in conference for two hours at the State
Department today. Senator Frye, 1t was
stated. would arrive tomorrow morning
and join in the conferences. Senator
Gray, the fifth member Of the commits
sion, is expected to join his association
in conference tomorr9w. The President
will give a dinner at the White House
tomorrow night at which tho commits
sioners will be the principal guests.
The commissioners will leave here
Friday in order to take the Campania
on Saturday.
The meeting at Secretary Days office
today was for the purpose of going over
the whole question of rna peace settle
ment. 1t is the first Tina Mr.. Reid had
exchanged views with his colleagues on
the subject. The same rigid reticence
which has thus far prevailed continues
to be observed.
Leading members of the commission
stated positively that all reports relative
to the instruction of the commissioners,
purely coniectural 1t is pointed out that
the interests of this country might be Sc
riously prejudiced if its attitude was
made known in advance or the meeting
at Paris.
No doubt a general line of policy was
agreed upon between the President and
his cabinet late yesterday afternoon, but
there is good reason for believing that
the assertion that the decision was def
nitely in favor of not permitting Spain
under any conditions to retain sovereign
ty in any part of the Philippine Islands
is based on a miscOnceptiOn.
1t is not doubted thar the commission
will start the negotiations at Paris with
the assertion that we have conquered
Spain in the Philippines and that Span
ish sovereignty has already been forfeit
ed there This will not, however, neces-
sarily signify that it is the purpose of
the Administration to retain possession
of the entire group"Of islands or to perma-
nently deprive Spain of all her possess
sions in the Pacific. 1t is not believed
that the Administration has gone beyond
the determination to retain the whole
of the Island of LuZon. but it is under
stood to he the intention Of the PreSi-
dent to establish at the outset the right
of this Government to determine the
fate of the islands and to make the con
ditions under which government shall
be established there. The matter of re-
linquishing possession of the rest of the
islands involved with so many conditions
to be considered that it is realized that
it may by force of circumstances become
necessary to deprive Spain permanently
of all her possessions in that quarter.
1t is understood not to be a matter
of policy to acquire all this territory, but
it may become n necessity.

THE CoRTEs PRoRoGUED.

Madrid, Sept. 1.-THE Premier, Senior
Sagasta, has obtained the Queen Re
gents signature to a decree proroguing
the Cortes, and with it ended a stormy
session of the Senate.
General Primo de Rivera had de-
manded an inquiry into his administra-
tion of the Philippine Islands, and in so
doing / he said the attacks Of
Count Almenas were only ''fit for the
mouth of n miserable slanderer." Count
AImenas was endeavoring to reply when
Senior Sagasta read the decree prorogu-
ing the Cortes
Count Almenas and General Rivera,
separately, approached the President in
a hostile manner and duel is expected
Premier Sagasta afterward read the
decree in the Chamber of Deputies.
A painful impression has been caused
here by a statement, made by the Pals,
saving the United States intends to de-
mand S2O000,000 indemnity in behalf
of American citizens who have suffered
through the insurrection in Cuba.
SIGNED PROTOCOL BILL.
The Queen Signed the protocol bill
this evening.
The Government had intended the
Cortes to sit until an indemnity bill for
the suspension of the constitutional guar
antees had been passed, but the threat
ened agitation ON the part of General
Weyler and others, convinced Senor
Sagasta of the advisability of closing
down debates, which would have hind
cred the free progress of the peace ne
gotiations.
The Cortes will be next c0nyoked to
ratify the final treaty Of peace.
