of san Francisco for 20-round bout

The president has nominated Colonel
Asa B. Carey, assistant paymaster gem
eral to be paymaster general, with the

of supplanting General Brooke by Gem
eral Wood as governor general of Cuba.

Havana, Jan. 2l.-PreSident Mckinley
is understood to have empowered Rob-
ert 7. Porter to arrange for the dis
bursement of $3,000.00O among the Gu
ban soldiers. Mr.. Porter will probably
go with Senor Quesada, to Remedies
to meet General Gomez, to persuade the
Cuban commander-in-chi to disband
his forces and to lend his influence to
the United states military administra-
ton.

There is some doubt whether he and
the other military chiefs will accept the

able conditions may be offered Mr..
Porter, who, it is understood, will act
as the personal representative of Pres
ident Mckinley in the negotiations, has
been directed to learn the Lest terms
that can be made, and Is empowered to
propose what it is hoped will be agree
able terms. Much is expected of the
assistance he will receive, when APP
preaching General Gomez, from Jose
Miguel Gomez and Senor Quesada.

Bearing on the discussion of the ques-
tion whether the American government
can acquire right to the Philippines from
Spain by treaty. the memorial calls at
tention to several notable and exact
American precedents." and Agonclllo
says he could ask for his country mo
better fortune than to have the republic
of America as at present constituted ad-
here to the teachings of international
law as laid down by some of its found
ers."

The American commissioners appear
to have been Of one mind : to the Wis
dom Of taking over all the Philippines
with the exception of Senator Gray. who,
notwithstanding he signed the treaty.
held out to the last against the policy of
acquiring these islands. In one notable
dispatch he pleaded zealously against
the policy as unpatriotic un-American
and inconsistent with propriety and good
statesmanship.

The principal interest among the sena-
tors attached to the presidents instruc-
tions to insist upon the cession of the
island of Luzon, and after that the de-
cision to take the entire group of ISL
ands. This latter development appeared
from the correspondence to be growth
and the suggestion was made by the
commissioners to the president as the
result of occurrences at Paris after the

The president does not appear to have
at any time given explicit instructions to
consummate the bargain by taking all

arrival thele ui lnN commissioners. In
his dispatch concerning Luzon ne said
there was but one alternative. The
United States must either take the ISL
and and assume sovereignty or return
il to Spain. and Of the two courses he
preferred the former.
Spain was from the first unwilling to
cedc any Of the Philippines. and she
made especial objection to letting 70 OF
Luzon alone. The commissioners. with
the exception of Senator Gray. urged
that to take Luzon and leave the other
islands of the archipelago in the hands
of SpaniardS would be to invite innumer-
able complications with other nations,
and especially with Europe and with
Spain. Much stress was laid upon the
probability of future trouble with Spain.
With LuZon under American adminis-
tration there would soon be such a vast
improvement. they wrote. that the other
islanders would soon grow more and
more rebellious. and with Spain's op-
pressive methods of government we
would soon again find that We had an
other cuba at another door. Further
more there would he constant filibuster-
ing and we should find ourselves spend
ing millions to preserve a state of neu-
trality just as we did in the case of Cuba
prior to our declaration of war on ac-
count of that island. General Merritts
testimony on this point was cited and
was made the reason for much of the
argument in favor of taking the entire
group.

sent brief message saying that he
transmitted them in accordance with the
resolution. The reading consumed the
entire executive session. lasting from

Much of the matter covered the same
ground as that already published, but it

The documents are numerous, as there
were telegrams. letters and reports for
almost every day the commissioners
were in Paris. One of the first cable
grams from the president instructed
them to demand the cesson of LuzOn

them that full sovereignty should come
with it. The reading of the correspon-
dence received the closest attention from
senators.
