CLAIMS AGAINST SPAIN.
Commission Announces Principles by
Which Il Will BE Governed.

washington. Nov. 24-The Spanish
claims commission has enunciated the
principles by which ii will be governed
in passing upon the various demurrers
which have been submitted to II IN con-
nection with the claims now under con-
sideratiOn on account of the war between
Spain and Cuba. The general basis IS
laid down in assuming the responsibility
which would otherwise have been Spain :
the United States is bound to pay all
claims for which Spain could have beeii
held. 1t is further held that the insur-
rection in Cuba had gone beyond the con-
troll of the Spanish government and that
il was not responsible for damages done
to foreigners by the insurgents. II, how
ever 1t be shown that the Spanish au-
thorities might have prevented the dam
age done in any particular case by the
exercise OF due diligence the commission
announces that ii will hold that Spain
was liable.
The commission announces further that
1t will take judicial notice that the Gu
ban insurrection passed from the hrst
tinued until the Intervention of the Unit
ed States. 1t Is further held that Spain
was entitled to adopt such war measures
for the recovery of her authority as are
sanctioned by the rules and usages Of
alleged and proved in any particular case
that the acts Of the Spanish authorities
or soldiers were contrary to SUCH rules
and usages. Spain will be held liable in
that case.
The extent Of saying that the reconcen-
tration orders were legitimate acts of
war. There is to be a further argument
on that subject.

commission, and Commissioner Maury

THE PRESIDENT
Will Complete His Message
to Congress, Today.
Statement on Appointment Of Della
wares United States Attorney.
Principles to Govern Spanish Claims
Commissions Decisions.

Washington, Nov. "a. - President
Roosevelt will. tomorrow, put the fin
isnlng touches on his annual message
to Congress. The document is practi-
cally completed now. but it is the
Presidents desire finally to consult sew
eral Of the leaders in both branches of
Congress as to one or two of the feat
ures of the message before he commits
it to the hands of the printers.
This was day of conferences at
the executive offices. The President
arrived in his Office early and soon
was beseiged by callers. He had en-
gagements with several senators and
representatives and declined to see all
other visitors.
During the hours until luncheon
time. the President had brief confer
ences with Senators Allison of Iowa,
Lodge of Massachusetts, Foster of
Washington, Quay of Pennsylvania,
Fairbanks of Indiana, Stewart of Ne
vada, McComas of Maryland, Elkins of
West Virginia, and Gibson of Montana,
and with Speaker Henderson and Rep
resentatives Cannon of Illinois. Bah
cock of Wisconsin, Boutelle of Illinois,
and Lands of Indiana.
Nearly every one of the callers was
with the President so short a time that
no opportunity was afforded to discuss
the important questions, the consider
alton of which is involved in the mes
sage With the views of all the Presi-
dent is reasonably familiar.
With Senator Quay and with Speaker
Henderson the President was in con-
ference for half an hour or more. The
former did not hesitate to express to
the President his opposition to any
tariff revision, either at the approach
| ing short session of Congress or in the
next Congress. He expected to express
in the Senate, this winter, the terri
torial statehood bills and was very OPP
timistic as to the result.
The President conferred with Speaker
Henderson about the status Of legisla-
ton in the House during the short
session, but the Speaker declined to
enter into any details of the confer
ence.
| Mr.. Cannon had only brief inter-
view with the President, during which
they discussed no public questions.
| In the purpose of the President to
talk with some of the Republican Con-
gressional leaders concerning his at
titude and their attitude on trusts ana
the tariff and the discussion on the
latter subject, it is understood, will be
with special reference to the reciproci-
ty question.

pELAWARE's ATTORNEY.
President Would Have Re-appointed
Him at All Hazards.

washington, Nov. 24.-The following
statement was given out at the White
House this afternoon:
ION his return to Washington the Pres
ident found that some misrepresentation
existed as to the reappOintment of the
United States attorney for Delaware and
authorized the following statement re-
garding it:
MIR. Byrne was originally appointed
United States attorney for Delaware by
President Mckinley. President Roosevelt
knew him personally. In the opinion OF
the President he had rendered excellent
service for the public good in more than
one direction. and he had been stauncn
supporter of the President when he ran
for governor and afterwards. He was re-
appointed by the department of justice
as a fiji and competent attorney and the
President had entire confidence in his
ability and integrity.
He accepted the nomination for Con-
gress Other district attorneys and mar
shaIs had accepted such nominations
without being requested to resign. but in
view of the fractional fight in Delaware
the President thought that Mr.. Byrne
should resign, which he accordingly DID.
When the election was over the President
re-appointed him without giving him TIE
slightest indication previously that such
was his intention. He would have re-
appointed him without regard to the cir
ctlmstances under which he ran. or the
faction with which he was allied.

SUNK WITH STONE.
Boys Remains Found in the
River at Antrim, N. H.
Skull Crushed, Ribs Broken, Body
Held Down by Big Stone.
No One Missing and Identity Is In.
known.

Antrim, N. H., Nov. 24.-An inquest
is being held, today. over the body of
a lad found in the COntOocOck river
here. yesterday, with the skull crushed
and three ribs broken. Three facts,
as well as the discovery that the body
was fastened by a cord to tree, while
a great stone had been used to sink it
in the river. are taken as evidence Of
foul play.
The news of the affair has caused
great excitement here, and careful in
quiry in this place and surrounding
localities fails to bring out news that
any person is missing.
The body is that of a boy thought
to have been about II or Is years of
age. 1t was badly decomposed and
one arm was gone. II fact, hardly
more than the mere skeleton was left
with just enough tissue to hold the
bones together.
boy who was passing along the
river bank. yesterday afternoon, saw
the body. He called help and the OBJ
ject was pulled to shore and it then
appeared that there was a rope around
the waist, one end of which extended
to a tree on the bank while the other
was attached to a big stone.
This discovery first aroused suspicion
in the minds of those at the scene and
they at once decided to summon the
officials. Accordingly the body was
placed on the shore and later the town
authorities took charge of it and it
was removed to an undertaking es-
Enlistment. -
n hasty examination revealed the
fact that the skull of the boy had been
crushed and three ribs broken. News
of the circumstances swept through
the town and many inquiries were
made with reference to missing boy.
| Meanwhile the news had been tele-
pnoned to the sheriff of the county at
| Manchester and to Coroner Hunt of
Nashua. AS far as the police could
learn. no boy has disappeared from
any place in this vicinity. They are
at a loss to explain the mystery.
Only four witnesses were heard at
the inquest, today, and, little Of i'm
portance was brought out. Neither OF
the two physicians who examined the
body were able to state how long il
had been in the water. The inquest
will he continued, tomorrow.

TWO CONFERENCES
Will Be Held, Today, at Wash
ington With Operators.
Miners Will See Them and Indepen-
dent Operators Will Call.
Latter Say They Must Be Given Some
Concessions.

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 2i.-President
Mitchell accompanied by Clarence $.
Darrow and Henry ID. Lloyd left for
Washington, late this afternoon, and
are scheduled to arrive there at 1850
A. NJ , Mr.. Mitchell refused to say what
is the nature of the business which
takes him to Washington, but he init
mated that it was in connection with
the commission.
1t was subsequently, learned that the
visit 10 Washington was for the pur-
pose of holding conference with rep
resentatives Of the big coal companies
and some of the members Of the strike
commission on the proposed private
settlement plan. Wayne MacNeagh
telephoned from Philadelphia that he
thought it better to have meeting and
as he was not feeling well enough to
make the trip to Scranton he desired
the labor representatives to so to
Washington for the conference. The
officials of the big coal companies are
to meet the independent operators in
New York, tomorrow, but how they will
divide the conference is not known.
The committee of independent opera
tors left here. this afternoon. for New
York to meet the coal presidents, to-
morrow. Regarding their mission, a
representative of the independent mine
operators made, this statement, today:
1.-The independent companies are pay
ing the miners as much now as they
can afford to and if an increase in
wages is granted by the large COM
panies. the companies must give the
independents lower freight rate in or
der to meet the increase in wages. Ii
they refuse to make a concession In
freight rates or it's equivalent then 1t
is probable the independent companies
will! insist upon the whole matter be-
ing threshed out before the commission.
Mr. Mitchell in his testimony before
the commission, last week. said that
5000 a year would be a fair American
standard of living wages. Some OF the
independent companies are paying an
average of over 800 a year while the
large companies are under these fig
ures. Therefore, if 10 per cent. in
crease is agreed upon the amount OF
money to be paid to the men by the in
derendents would be greater than that
of the large companies"
