There VIII he No Deviation From
the United states Demands.
Washington, Sept. 15.-The state depart
ment gave out tonight the following state
ment concerning the discussion of the
members of the cabinet and the peace
commission to-day:
The members of the peace commission,
with the exception of Senator Gray, whose
absence was due to his inability 10 with
draw as counsel in a case in which he was
engaged some tine before his appointment
as one of the peace commissioners, have
spent the greater part of yesterday and
to-day in a free discussion Of the duties
with the discharge Of which they have
been entrusted by the President.
Senator Gray is expected during the
evening, and before sailing will have full
conference with the President and his as
sociates. While, for obvious reasons Il
was determined that the instructions in
regard to the negotiations about to be en-
tered upon should, for the present. be
kept secret and made known only after
definite results shall have been reached,
it Is possible to state authoritatively that
the comm ission goes 10 Paris fully pre-
pared to follow course of action mapped
out for il as the result of consultations
of the last two days.
At the very outset 1t will be made clear
to the Spanish commissioners that. as in
the case Of the preliminary protocol there
can be nc deviation from or modification
of the demands made by the United States.
The decision arrived at by the President
after a full consultation with the members
Of the commission subsequently received
the cordial and unanimous approval OF
the cabinet at a meeting held this afier-
noon.
AS previously announced, the commits
sion sails from New York on the Campahia
at 2 o'clock on Saturday afternoon.

Thursday, says: 'T am the only foreign
journalist present at the insurgent Con-
gress at Malolos, which has been select-
ed as the temporary capital Of the revo-
lutionary government. Early this fore
noon Agulnado, accompanied by a large
staff of generals and ministers, moved i'm
state from the convent now occupied as
his military headquarters, passing between
lines of Infantry and through streets dec
grated with palms and banners and packs
ed with thousands of peasants in holiday
dress, to the church half a mile distant.
Here he was received by the assembly
delegates and conducted to a platform
In the chancel, from which he delivered
a brief message in the Tagalon language
afterward repeating II in Spanish.
THE substance Of the message was
mostly congratulatory on the happy term
inatlon of the revolution and the complete
conquest Of the territory. He made a
nowery appeal to the delegates. asking
them, by the memory Of the illustrious
patriots of Philippine history to follow
the example of England, America and
France in preparing a constitution and
promulgating laws to secure the complete
aud permanent liberty of the people of ths
Philippines
THE message excited but little en-
thusiasm, because 1t was absolutely nom
committal.
THE assembly then proceeded imme-
diately to organize, preparatory to a dis
cussion of the proposed constitution and
code of laws and the election of a presi-
dent The absence Of several of the most
prominent and influential natives was par
tlcularly noticeable. as indicating an in
tention to hold aloof until the policy of the
Congress is fully declared.

Lieut. Holman, one Of the survivors

They were standing near the place where
the explosion occurred, and were in the

accident yesterday and one this morning.
The projectile which caused the damage
was fired under apparently the same con-
