SPANISH WAR CLAIMS.

President Will Submit Some to tho Com

WASHINGTON, Nov. l5.-The presi.
dent will submit to congress at the ap-
preaching session the claims for indem-
MITIGATION and for other substantial
recompense of the British cable corpor-
alton which suffered as result of the
American operations in the Philippines.
The corporation claims damages for the
interruption Of their cable business by
the American forces. The>claims were
reduced to very low figure but were
disallowed. The Eastern Extention
claim claims that it has franchise
from the Spanish government, obtained
before the war, granting it a monopoly
Of cable business throughout the Phil,
ippines. Another set of claims which
will be referred to congress are those
arising from the detention and isola-
tion Of Japanese subjects in connec-
tion with the bubonic plague last sum-
mer in San Francisco and the claims of
Japanese citizens for damages sus-
tanned through the action of the Ha-

.s: ST. PAUL, Nov. l5:--The condition Of
Senator Davis is. substantially un~
changed. He is very weak and the att.
tending physicians consider his condi-

is found by his family in the fact that
he does not grow rapidly worse under
the acute kidney trouble with which
he is now afflicted. f.
DR.. j. B. Murphy, who was called
from Chicago to consult with DR.. Stone,
has returned to that city. He would

Additional Accomm otlations for 100000
Children Needed.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-M. G. Brum-
baugh, commissioner of education for
Porto Rico, says the school system now
in operation there includes 800 teachers
and $1,000 pupils. This is only a be-:
ginning, as there are 800, 900 children
of school age without school facilities,
most of whom would enroll if they
could. Commissioner Brumbaugh says s
the hope of>the island is in the public
schools and that the great illiteracy, s.
Porto Rico must be reduced. Tie
schools are not to be compared with
American systems, but their transfor-
nation must be gradual. The report
says that the present school law should
be wholly abrogated at the coming ses-
sion of the insular legislature, for
many reasons, and new law passed.
