nd Ita content will be dlsoussed by
the United Mate commissioner to

Tlit Spaniard in their oommunlca
lion reaffirmed the position which they
bare assumed airalnst the discussion
fear of Hpaln'a I'hlllppln sovereignty.
They Insist that the word "ahall de
termine the eontroi, disposition and
government of the llilllppltiM," in
article I of the peao protocol, do out
warrant any reference toMpaln'a with
drawal from the rhlllpplne cioept on
her own term, and therefor the
Spaniard propose arbitration on the
construction to be placed on the worda
"the control, disposition And govern
sent." '
YAnnnarnn, Nor. 17. Up to tbla
point the discussion at 1'aria having
touched on principle, there ha been
no attempt to name exact figure in
relation to the amount of money that
plight be paid to ripaln by the United
State on account of the Philippine
Such, for Instance waa the statement
that the United dtatea would relm
burae Spain "for the paclflo eipend

Ippl ana, tot no one here at the time
bad an esact knowledge of what these

Our cotnmlMloner do not look for
an unconditional rejection of their of

tempt upon Pr t Spnlb,
commissioner to aucure a liberal in
areas of the amount named. The
American comml.loner are under In
atructlon to inform the Hpaniah com
mlloners that there can be no fur

the work of the commission, ao that it
U expected a conclusion, one way or
the other, will be reached before long
to the peace negotiation.

lATHm.il, Neb., Nov. 17. Colonel Yf,
J. llryan teat night gave the following
interview relative to the late eleetion:
"Compared with the election of ll'4,
the Republican hav gained In come
place and loat In other. It wa not
a aweeplng Itepubllcan victory, On
the whole, tbe result I not urprllng,
when It la remembered that the ad
ministration 1 Just concluding auo
ceaful war.
"While a majority of the aoldler
are probably aotl'Republlean, tbe
management of the war ha been en
tirely in Itepubllcan hand, and the
strongest argument used during the
campaign waa that a UepublJuaa de
feat would discredit the .'realdenl la
the eye of foreign nationa, while hie
commissioner were engaged ia making
a treaty,
"Jt waa not a trial upon the Issue
now before the people, but a euccess
ful plea for a continuance of the case.
The people have not accepted the gold
standards they have not fallen In lov
with the plan to give the bank a mo
nopoly o tli issue of paper money)
tliey bare not dccldd to retire the
greenbacks; they have not surrendered
to the trust,
"These question wer forced into
tli background by the declaration of
war, but they must b faced again a
soon a peace 1 restored. The Chicago
platform present for public consider
at ion certain vital, economic questions,
That platform ha not been abandoned
by tbo who Indorsed it in 1189. It
will b reaffirmed in 100 because It
give expression to tli hope and aa
plratlon of a larg majority of th
party.
"Whan th Democrats, Populist and
fiver Republicans favored Cuban in
dependence they understood that war
would glv a temporary advantage to
th party In power, but tbey were
willing to risk defeat In order to aid
th people fighting to be free.
".Neither can th election b regard
ed a an indorsement of any foreign
policy, until a treaty of peace ha
been entered into and th term made
known, th people cannot pass judg
wont upon it. Whether the war will
raise any question of sufficient Im
portance to turn public attention
away from domestla problem remain
to be seen,"

All th colored regiment ara n

around each other's neck and behaving
in other ways not calculated to inspire
respect for the American troops among
the Cubans.
Th troubl be (fan In an attempt to

ban workman aud stealing hla bog.
The outrage waa committed on th
Normaa augar plantation. Lieutenant

mak th arrests.
Th soldiers, who belonged to th
Ninth Immune, escaped. Home thirty
colored men, wearing the uniform of
th United Htstca army, attacked th
house where Lieutenant Ferrera waa,
and kept up a regular fusllado, killing
Lieutenant Ferrera, Antonio Roman,
