Washington, Nov. 15. Tho report
of Ilrlgadlor General Charles P. ISngun,
commissary general of subsistence of
tbo army, lias been submitted to tbo
secretary of war. It shows tin expen
diture of W,(M)8,7ir(, with a balance of
520,232,080 to tho credit of tho bureau.
After detailing conditions of tho com
missary department and Its organiza
tion for tho war with Spain, tleneral
Eagan comes to tho Santiago cam
paign, of whtch lie says:
"A very serious freight blockade at
and In tho neighborhood of Tampa In
May and June, 1803, was caused by
the celerity with which tho troops and
their supplies wero concentrated nt
that placo In preparation for tho In
vasion of tho Island of Cuba.
"This blockado was a matter of
grnvc concern to the Mibslstcnco de
partment and It was only after tho
most peremptory orders of tho commis
sary general of subslslnuco to unload
tbo cars and lo hlro tho warehouses It
necessary, that the oUlcera of tho de
partment upon the spot were enabled
with unflagging zeal and untlrlug en
ergy, to so far extrlcato the depart
ment so as to permit the talcing by tho
Fifth army corps, when it willod on
Juno 14, a supply of rations sufficient
to last tho command of 10,000 enlisted
men for four months, and tho sending,
on Juno SO, 27, and 'IS, of further sup
plies." After giving iu detail what supplies
wero sent to Cuha.Goncral Kagan said:
"It will thus bo seen that all due dll
llgcnco was nsed by tho commissary
general of subsistence in plnolug sub
sistence Mores within reach of tho
troops operating against Santiago.
Upon landing in Cuba theso stores of
tho expedition wero suoject to tho or
ders of tho general commanding, who
wns In paramount control of tho mili
tary operations in that quarter."
After quoting' a number of official
orders, tho gonetul says: "It is evi
dent from tho foregoing statements
that tho supplies of subsistence stores
'ahippod for tho mo of tho army In
Cuba have been nt all times in excess
of Immediate needs. Besides being
dvailablo for our own troops they af
forded relief to the Cuban army and to
tho destitute population which aban
doned tho city of Santiago when prep
arations for its destruction had becu
made.
"Xho official roturns from Cuba,
showing in detail tbo issues made to
these several classes of persons and
others coutomplatcd by law, have not
?ct been received, and thcro is not In
his offlco any information throwing
light upon tho subject of tho provis
ioning of tho transports which brought
tho army back to Montauk Point,
f urtlur than thero was an abundance
of subsistonco stores in Santiago and
vicinity."

rhlllpplne t.Uncls.
Pahis, Nov. 15. Thero was no Joint
session of the poaco commissions to
day. Secretary Moore of tho United
States commission rocetvod from Sec
retary OJcda of tho Spanish commis
sion a note Baying that tho Spanish
commissioners had found it Impossible
to prepare their memorandum for
presentation, nud asking that tho next
meeting bo deferred until Wednesday.
This delay is regarded as indicating
that tho Spanish commissioners are
preparing for n final stand in thoso
negotiations, and it may now bo def
initely stated that they will not slgu t
treaty of peaco which yiold9 to Spain
no more from thu Phllipplno islands
than has thus far bcon offered by the
Americans. Should tho latter an
nounce that tho United States is only
willing to rolmburso Spain for her pa
cific expenditures In tho Philippine
islnnds, tho Spanish commissioners
will reply that their mission is fin
ished. Should this occur It is possible
tho Spaniards will also suggest n sus
pension of tho negotiations through
tho commission nnd a resumption of
negotiations botwooa Madrid and
Washington.
This nttltudo of tho Spaniards la ex
plained by tho fact that tho members
of tho Spanish commission have po
litical nlllanoos and personal respon
sibilities to constituencies nnd tho
national creditors of Spain which re
strict them to certain lines, which aro
as fur as tho ministry nt Madrid c&ros
to go. It is pointed out that if tho
five Spanish commissioners hero signed
a treaty yielding tho Phllipplno isl
ands to tho United Statos without
lessening Spain's dobt in an npprociablo
degreo, they could not roturn homo
with tho prospect of any political
futuro before them and possibly would
bo In dnnger of vlolonco nt tho bauds
of mobs.
Tho American Standpoint.
Washington, Nov. 15. It was
learned to-day that tho ultimatum
which this government will prcsont at
tho Paris negotiations will contain nn
absolute dental of Spanish sover
eignty in tho Philippines nnd tho
Spanish government will bo called
upon to conflno Itself to a considera
tion of tho amount which tho United
States Is expected to pay for tho im
provements in tho territory which has
been won by tho victory of Admiral
Dowey at Manila. Tho proposition
will compel tho Spaniards to a realiza
tion of their helplessness in tho
negotiations, but at the samo
time gives them generous notice
that there aro advantages to bo
gained by a complacent accoptnnco of
tho situation, In which thero Is an op
portunity offered for some adroit
financiering. Tho administration has
not dccldod upon the sum it is willing
to pay to Spain in consideration for
her ngreement to tho treaty of peace,
but thcro is n disposition to bo fnlr, if
not liberal, In practically purchasing
tho frcodom of tho Philippines from
tho almost shadowy romalnlng claims
of Spanish sovereignty.
In 'arranging for tho bargain Spain
will be permitted to put a value upon
her formor possessions outsldo of tho
bounded indebtedness, which tho
United States will not recognize, and
when this point has beon reached It
will bo for tho American commission
ers to determine how much tholr gov
ernment will pay for a quit
claim deed to tho Philippine
islands. No haggling will bo per
mitted that will cnablo tho Spanish
diplomats to prolong tho controversy
Indefinitely. When a decision shornd
be readied Spain will be told that her
prompt acceptance is all that is de
sired. A refusal to entertain the offer
of tho Amoricnns wilt be to Spain's
disadvantage nnd will bring tho nego
tiations to a climax that will threaten
tho resumption of hoitllltlcs should
thero be any further persistence in un
reasoning demands.

Anntmt ltcpnrt.
Washington Nov. 15. Ooncral P.
W. Flagler, chief of tho bureau of
ordnance, lias mado his annual report
to tho secretary of war. It shows
that there was expended during tho
fiscal year ending Juno 30, 180U, 87,318,
795, nnd that thoro still rcmalim of tho
appropriations mndn for tho ordnance
bureau 0l0,7M..m. This largo mtin Is
derived from tho appropriations for
tho fiscal year whluh wero mado for
war purposes, amounting to931, 501, 593
Regarding tho equipment of volun
teers tho general thinks it would bo
as well to hive tho government equip
them, instead of their bringing their
stato amut Into service, naylng that It
could bo done ns quickly, owing to
tho condition of tho anus of tho stato
troops. As to the equipment of an
army, ho says:
"So long as tho principal dependence
in tills country hi a tlnu of war is a
largo volunteer force, nowly levied, it
is Impracticable to keep on hand largo
supplies of cavalry, artillery and
liorso equipments an thoso In a few
yonrs will not only deteriorate, but
will have to bo materially modified to
keep pace with Improvements."
For equipping an army with a sup
ply of small arms ho thinks there
should bo n supply of 100,000 on hand
of nny now arm nud tho ar icnnls kept
in condition so as to produce 3,500 per
day.
An interesting feature of tho roport
Is that which troats of coast defense
Tho general says:
"Attention Is especially Invited to
tho experience of tho past fow months
in attempting to provldo qutokly n
coast defense. It Is bollevcd to bo Im
practicable nnd wo will always bo
forced, in any omorgjuoy, to rely upon
what has boon provided in time of
penco."
General Flagler dooj not claim for
tho -15-callbor Springfield rllle an
equality with tho now 30-callbor mag
azine rlflo of tho nrmv, but says that
it is a good arm and posscstos many
merits. This fenturo has heretofore
been commented upon In discussion of
small arms used during tho war. Tho
machlnory for tho manufacture of
small-arm ammunition wan nono tbo
boat, yot tho department turned out
00,000,000 rounds for tho war.
Ucnernl Flaglor says: "Tho war has
furnished no opportunity for deter
mining by oxpcrlenro tho effect of our
modern soacoast armament against
modern battleships. Tho roports of
tho oxperionco gained, however, tend
to confirm tho opinion that tho flro
from ships can not silence tho ilro or
seriously crlpplo tho armament of our
modern batteries, but the ships could
not withstand tho fire of our modern
batteries, nnd that, therefore, tho
ships can not attack tho batteries suc
cessfully. Whether tho ships can run
by tho batteries without too great risk
has not been shown. This will depend
on tho skill and rapidity with whleh
tho guns aro served, provided tho ships
nro not stopped at the mines."
Itoady to Attaok Hollo.
Manila, Nov. 13. Tho following ad
vices have bcon recelvod from Hollo,
capital of Panai, ono of tho principal
islands of tho Vlsayas group:
"Tho insurgents have occupied Lin
gnnls, Oton and Pavia, suburbs of
Hollo, and aro dally expected to at
tack tho town. Tho Spaniards havo
abandoned tho molo and destroyed tho
connecting bridges.
"lluslncss is paralyzod, nnd tho in
habitants are In n stato of terror. Tho
morcantllo housos of all nationalities

It Is reported also that tho insur
gents have taken tho wholo of tho
islands of Nogros and Zobu of tho Vis
ayas group. As tho cable connections

rumor.

Tho scheme involves giving Spain
8173,000,000 lo satisfy any real or
imaginary claims sho may mako as to
tho territory. This feature Is said to
bo based on the assumption that tta
United States will be the dominant
powor. Tho romalnlng 100,000,000 of
this reputed syndlcnto would be re
served as its working capital.
Tho sponsor of tho project is a Mr.
Young, said to bo a son of Ilrlghoas
Young, and an attempt is apparently
made to croato tho impression that the
capital of 'JIOO.OOO.ODO Is already under

tho alleged syndlcato has an existence,
that Americans may havo an oppor
