Coded Whole Archipelago.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The positive
statement is made here by authority
that Spain does not retain possession
of a single island in the Philippine
archipelago. This is called forth by
the declaration in the Spanish cortes
of Count de Almenas that through ig-
norance the American commissioners
had allowed three islands at the north
ern extremity of the archipelago to re-
main under Spanish control through
their definition in the treaty of the
boundary of the group. There Is stated
to be no doubt as to the sufficiency Of
the treaty clause to cede the entire
archipelago. If there has been a fail
ure on this point, that fact will not re-
dound to SPANS benefit, for it Is held
officially that the islands north Of the
Philippine archipelago belong to
Japan.

Inc Chicago woman who has come
to New York, comments the New York
Sun, with the idea Of reforming the
chorus girls seems to have made
mistake in her estimate of the price at
which they would be willing to ex-
change their present employment for
work of the kind she offers. From
$l2 to S14 week is the pay of the
average chorus girl, and to remove
them from the demoralizing influences
OF stage life she volunteers to find
places for them in mercantile en-
ployment at one-quarter of that sum.
There is not likely to be much demand
Tor reformation at this figure, in view
OF the great demand for their services
at the higher figure. Chorus girls who
are beautiful enough and have voice
enough and other qualifications are not
easy to find. The demand for them is

President McKinley's Successor II
Elecled-No Compromise.

Chicago, Nov. 3.-The R cord pub
fishes the following from a special
correspondent:
Madrid, Nov. 1.-Senor Tomas Arc
lola. president Of the Madrid Filipino
committee, said to me today: Al
though our committee has no official
character, it is on the best OF terms
with Aguinaldo and the other men,
bers of the Philippine government. we
are persons chosen by the Philippine
residents Of Madrid to represent ana
defend the interests Of the republlc
until an official consul shall be a2-
pointed.
Our main effort now is directed
toward relieving the Spanish prisoners
in the Philippines. We are the me
dunn of communication between the
prisoners and their families.
1.-THE war will go on; there Is no
doubt on that point. We shall obtain
an unequivocal victory, and the Amer
icsns will end by evacuating the Is
lands, whether they want to or not.
We hope they will go of their own a.
cord Immediately after the next prasl-
d, initial election. The reelection OF
President Mckinley, of course, would
not change the situation. In that case
W shall continue the struggle, our cry
being always Independence or DEATH,
1--WE have now $4,000 soldiers, and
NO can raise 100000 when necessary.
We shall make no compromise with
the United States. We are fighting Tor
the integrity of our country, Tor lnoe-
incidence, and in the final settlement
America will not obtain any OF the
islands-not even one.
1--WE have all the ammunition we
want and an excess Of 1t. We often
force the Americans to fire a great
deal, so that after the combat our
soldiers can take their empty shells
and reload them.
I'VE have few foreign officers IN
our ranks. Our men have plenty OF
food. 1t is untrue that there are d.
visions in the Filipino camp. Agul-
naldo is still respected and Is extreme
IL popular. 1t Is true that certain
number of Filipinos resident In Ma
Mia are outwardly favorable to the
Americans, for fear their interests may
suffer. but they are called traitors by
the rest of the nation, and the Amer
leans themselves shun them"

There will be eight treadmills built
