May Advance Fifteen Millions.
Havana. Feb. 1.-The mission of Rob.
ert P. Porter to General Gomez is Of a
twofold characterize discuss with him
fully the position Of the Cuban army
and to invite him to- Havana The
Washington administration desires an
immediate and friendly settlement Of
the Cuban army question. AS the mill
tary chiefs decisfvely refuse to accept
$s.0O0.00O in complete satisfaction Of the
claims of the soldiery. Washington has
determined, it Is understood, to offer
a much larger sum, even as high a
sum as 1000. 600, II less will not be ac-
cepted. Whatever is agreed upon Is
to be charge upon the revenues of
the island until II is paid.
The Cubans- civilians and military.
are aware that an engagement of this
sort may prolong the American occupa-
tlon. but as it seems to be their earnest
wish that the army be paid great
sum, the administration at Washing
ton. will yield. it Is understood. and
open negotiations with this ultimate
object.
Mr.. Porter Is said to carry letters
from President Mckinley and Governor
General Brooke. The scope of his in
structons is not disclosed. except that
1t is known that he has rather full pre-
liminary powers.
The Cuhans are in a state of expecta-
tiSn and excitement. The business
classes are pleased at the prospect of
settlement Shares on the local bourse
rose from one to three points yester-
day, which is generally attributed to
the probability that the Cuban soldlery
will be disbanded and will return to
work.

GRAY ON THE TREATY. :
Peaco Commissioner Explains why He
Signed the Document,

Signed the Document.
Washington. Feb. 1.-Senators Gray
and Money occupied the entire execu-
tive session Of the senate yesterday In
speeches on the peace treaty, Senator
Gray favoring ratification and Senator
Money opposing 1t.
Senator Gray was the third of the
Paris commissioners to speak. He ad-
mitted that In the beginning of the
negotiations he had been opposed to
the acquisition Of the Philippine arclli-
pelago, and said that he had freely and
frankly advised the president and his
fellow commissioners OF his belief that
u would be unwise to attempt to shape
its destiny. He had at last reached
the conclusion that he would either
have to Join with the majority or see
the treaty fail and the war continue.
In the meantime he had been largely
won over by the arguments of his COL
leagues and by the logic of the si,ua-
tion, and he had at last concluded to
sign the convention.
Having taken his position he was
here now to defend the treaty as Il
wise conclusion of mos: delicate dip
lomatic undertaking. Many complica-
tions had beset the commissioners in
their work, and while he would not re-
tract what he had heretofore said as
TO- the undesirability of acquiring dis
tant territory, as matter of principle,
still there we're times when a nation
az an individual might have to choose
between evils. Senator Gray did not
