His majesty suggested that the Pow

their ornaments for five years, at the end
of which they meet again to decide upon
attitude in the event of menace or pros
pective hostilities. He suggested as an
example of possible action that the recent
Fashoda incident might have been referred
by England to the United States, and by
France to Russia. If these failed to agree,
there might have been recourse to an ar
bltrator, say the Emperor of Austria In
any case, delay would have made for
peace.

says, with great Indignation against the
idea imputed to him Of urging France ana
England into conflict, characterizing it as
monstrous."

Uncle Sam Will Negotiate for the
Purchase of Caroline Islands.
Washington, Nov 2S-It is the impress
sion at the state department, in the abb
sence of anything save press reports of
the proceedings at Paris to-day, that the
commissions work is now near an end,
and that about two weeks time will suf-
flee to close it up.
This idea is based on the belief that in
stead of undertaking 10 arrange the sew
eral matters yet to be settled in the treaty
of peace, a general clause will be placed
in the treaty binding each of the parties
70 begin negotiations in the. near future on
those subjects. Such a clause of necessity
must be very carefully drawn In order
to insure the United States a resumption
of commercial relations with Spain, with
fair terms to both nations, though 1t can
not go far into details, and must be linn
tied in scope to something like general
pledge to yield to the United States ia
vorable conditions.
1t was said at the state department that
the next step in order would be 10 begin
negotiations for the acquisition Of Ualan.
in the Caroline Islands, for a cable sta
ton. This is not to be made the subject
of a demand upon Spain, but will be an
offer, in all sincerity, 10 purchase the ISL
and at a fair price. 1t is not in contem-
plation TO take all of the Caroline group.

FATHERLAND MOST FRIENDLY.
Baron specI1 Calls to See Secretary
of State Hay.

of state Hay.
Washington, Nov 2S.-Baron Speck Won
Sternberg, charge daffaires of Germany,
called at the state department to-day, and
had conference with Secretary HAY on
current topics. particularly those growing
out of the late war. in the course of
which Baron Speck took occasion to ex-
press the most friendly sentiments on the
part OF Germany concerning the present
status of affairs.
The cali was chiefly significant as an
evidence that German officials desire to
about to assume an attitude of protest,
and TO lay claim to the Sulu Archipelago
which is TO be included in the peace nego-
tiations at Paris. The Baron's call gave
rise to sensational reports, to the effect
that he placed a protest from Germany
against American interference with the
Suu Islands. In view of these reports It
was stated tonight in an authoritative
quarter that the Sulu Islands were not
mentioned during the talk which was of
4 most general and friendly character.
All the cable reports have shown that
the German press Is considerably wrought
up over the policy of the United States in
the Far East, and is urging the govern
ment to make a protest. Nothing has
developed in official quarters up to the
present time to show that there is any
purpose on the part of the German gov
ernment to heed such belligerent sugges-
tions. On the contrary. the call of Baron
Speck to-day gives assurance that Ger
many accepts without question the out
come of the peace negotiations.

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION AT HAVANA.
Powder in a Private House ExpIOdes
CnusinG Many Fatalities.


Havana Nov. 2S--An explosion occurred
on the Avenue Infanta, between the Santa
Clara and Reina batteries to-day, kill
ing or injuring thirty-eight persons.
Many boxes of powder were stored in a
private house. which also contained five
rooms full of Mauser and other cartridges.
The careless handling Of one of the boxes
of powder or of one Of the boxes of cart
ridges, caused the explosion.
The presence of such large quantity
of cartridges-known to have been brought
recently from the artillery depot--in an out
out of the-way house where they were
stored roof high, has not been explained.
Most of those employed in emptying cart
ridges, evidently their only duty on the
premises, were boys and girls under II
years of age and they formed the greatest
proportion of the victims. The employ
ment of children IN such a dangerous oc-
cupation and the existence of such a large
quantity OF explosives within the city lin
it's are both IN contraveniaon of the munich
pal regulations.
Whether there may have been some ul-
terror motive in storing these explosives
cannot be answered, but the casualty sug-
gests the probability that there may have
been other similar depots where the To-
calities are unknown to the authorities.
Senor de Castro, the civil governor of
Havana has stationed a guard over the
unexploded powder and an investigation
into the whole affair has been ordered.
S:45 p. m.-Nobody was killed outright by
the explosion, but three of the injured died
this afternoon and the condition of most of
the others Is more or less critical At least
fifteen are not expected 10 live. 1t was a
miracle that the immediate loss Of life was
not great
