If Senator Davis ' and Wh'ltclaw Hyld , member ! of the peace commission , bad a conference with President McKlnloy , but tt was not'a Ions one. It waa expected that all the members of the com mission would bo In Washington some tlmo today , but It Is now probable that the full commission "will not be here until tomorrow afternoon.or evening when they will dine with the president at the Whlta House In company with the members of the cabinet. At that time It Is expected the Instructions to the commission be gone over finally. In official quarters much satisfaction was expressed today over the reports from Madrid that the lower house of parliament had passed , the government hill accepting the terms of the protocol. The upper house already has passed this measure , so that Che last fear of legislative opposition to the transfer of Cuba , the Ladrones and Porto Itlco Is over. The authorities here feel that this carries them b'y a danger point , as It has been ' feared fdr 'some time that the animosities In the Spanish Cortes would lead to the defeat ) of the Sagasta ministry on the ques tion of evacuating the Spanish Isfaiuls , either In one branch or the other. There Is little doubt that a general line of policy was agreed upon between the president and his cabinet at their meeting yesterday after noon , but there Is good reason for believing the assertion that the decision was defin itely In favor of not permitting Spain un der any conditions to retain sovereignty In any part of the Philippine Islands Is based on a misconception. The members of the cabinet and the mem bers of the peace commission refuse abso lutely to dlscusn the subject with newspaper men , and thcrcforo , whatever Is said Is based more or fess on Inference or round about Information. It Is not doubted that the commission will start the negotiations at Paris with the as sertion that wo have conquered Spain In the 1'htllpplhe.s and that Spanish sovereignty has already been forfeited there. This will not , however , necessarily signify that It Is the purpose of the administration to retain possession of the cntlro group of Islands or to permanently deprive Spain of all her .possessions In the Pacific. 'It ' Is not believed that the administration has gone beyond the determination to retain the whole of the Is land of Luzon , but It Is understood to be the Intention of the president to establish at the outset the right of this government to determine the fate of the Islands and to make the conditions under which govern ment shall bo established there. The matter of relinquishing possession of the rest bf the ( Elands Is Involved with so many conditions to bo considered that It Is realized that It may bj- - force of circum stances become necessary to deprive Spain permanently of all her possessions In that quarter. It is understood not to bo n matter of policy to acquire all this territory , but it may become a necessity.

The president will glvo a dinner nt the White House tomorrow night , at which the commissioners will bo the prin cipal cuests , all the members of the cabi net In the city being present. It Is stated positively that the dinner will be'purely of a social character , and that the reports that It will serve the purpose of a full and final discussion'ot the Philippine question nro unwarranted. The commissioners will leave here Friday In order to take the Cam pania on Saturday. The meeting at Secretary Day's office today was for the purpose ot going over the whole question of the peace settlement. It Is the first time Mr. Held had exchanged views with his colleagues on the subject. The same rigid reticence which has thus far prevailed continues to bo observed , and as the commissioners canio from their two hours' meeting they positively declined to discuss any questions relating to the com mission. Leading members stated positively that all reports relative to the Instruction ot the commissioners , or the attitude of the United States , were purely conjectural.

CUBAN VIEYVJJF SITUATION Hi ; M or Qiirnmln Mnkrn 1'iilillc n Ilntch of DoemniMitH anil Letter * . WASHINGTON , Sept. 14. Senor Gonzalcs Qucsada of the Cuban delegation today gave out several documents relating to Cuban affairs. They Include a letter writ ten by General Miles while In Porto Rico to General Nunez , which Mr. Qucsada re gards as a tribute from the commanding general of the American army to the good service of General Garcia and the Cubans at Santiago. The letter Is as follows : PONCC , Porto Rico. Aug. 17 , 1898. Gen eral Emcllo Nunez , Cuban Legation , Wash ington. My Dear General : I have received your very Interesting letter of July 22 and am glad to know tnnt the expedition proved successful , and that the necessities of Gcueral Gomez were relieved. I con gratulate you on the cessation ot hostilities and the prospect of the successful termina tion of the struggle of > our countrymen for their liberties. I met General Garcia very pleasantly , but was so much occupied that I didn't have tlmo to talk with him as I wanted to. When wo had secured the surrender of the Spanish troops I Im mediately went away , as I was anxious to move on to Porto Rico as soon as possible and was deeply engaged In moving the transports with troops to this place , I deeply regretted not seeing more of General Garcia , as I wished to thank 111 in again for the good service bo and those under his command had rendered. Please send him a copy of this at your first opportunity. Hoping to meet you personally again In the near future , I am , very truly yours , NELSON A. MILES. Mr. Qucsada has received the following proclamation of amnesty , Issued by the Cuban authorities at Camnguey : The government council In today's session ordered ; Whereas , Hostilities have been suspended and orders which hinder the movements of those charged with bringing about peace should not bo enforced when the Independ ence of Cuba has already been recognized by Spain and the United States. Whereas , In such circumstances It Is use less to deprive the Spanish army of news nnd guides , which in some cases It may even bo a duty to provide , so that It may evacuate the territory as agreed upon with the United States , Whereas , The war being ended , all ani mosity and hatred duo to the struggle should cease , thus bringing about the union of all Cubans under our Hag , which Is the symbol of liberty and not of revenge. Whereas , The leaders of the army should do all In their power to punish any attempt against personal security , nnd that no p'rl- vato vengeance shall be visited upon those who have served Spain ; be It Resolved , First , to suspend , until further qrdcr , paragraph 2 , In Its last part , and paragraphs 9 , 10 , 13 , 14 and 15 of article 48 of the penal law. 2. To grant amnesty to all those guilty of ho crimes enumerated In article 18 of the penal law , nnd 3. That those resolutions be circulated among the army and authorities of the re public , calling their attention to the evils vhlch may occur If a policy ot forgiveness and pardon Is not observed. DR. DOMINOITEZ CAPOTE , Secretary of War Pro Tern. Camaguey , September 1 , 1898. Another proclamation received by Mr. Qucsada was Issued by Colonel Morales , second end In command ot the Cubans In Havana [ irovlnce. It says : A great and prosperous nation , our sister n republican Ideals , has come to the help of Cuba , as France gave Its generous sup- > ort to that democracy during Its struggle 'or ' Independence. Let us salute under our lag of the lone star the Hag ot the stars and stripes and let usi despise these reports circulated against all truth and reason by our cortquered enemy that the great republic s trying to take possession shamelessly ol our free and Independent Cuba. Let us con tinue and do not falter In this movement n which our star begins to shine brightly , .ot us cheer , soldiers of the army of Ilhera- : lon , for free and Independent Cuba , and .or ' the great American republic. Mr. Quesada says the amnesty proclama tion shows how fully the Cuban authorities accept the suspension of military operations and the proclamation ot Colonel Morales In dicates that the Cuban commanders loolc forward - ward to a free and Independent Cuba with out crediting Spanish reports of American designs for annexing Cuba. PROROGUES SPANISH CORTES Premier SnKiiitn IlrliiRB to n Clone n Stormy SCHNOII | ot the Senate. MADRID , Sept. 14. The premier , Senoi Sagasta , has obtained the queen's signature to a decree proroguing the Cortes , and with ii ended a stormy session of the Senate. General Prlnio do Hlvcra has demanded an Inquiry Into his administration of the Phil ippine Islands. In doing so he said the at tacks of Count d'Almcnos were only "fit for the mouth of a miserable slanderer. " Count Almenas was endeavoring to reply when Senor Sagasta read the decree .pro roguing the Cortes. Count d'Almenas and General Hlvera separated , approached tha president In a hostile manner and a duel Is expected. Premier Sagasta afterward read the decree In the Chamber of Deputies. It Is expected that the Spanish peaca commissioners will bo appointed without delay. A painful Impression bas been caused here by a statement made by the Pals , saying the United States Intends to demand $20- 000,000 Indemnity Jn behalf of the Ameri can citizens who have suffered through the Insurrection In Cuba , The Spanish pcaco commissioners will strongly oppose this , it Is claimed , but fears prevail that tbo United States will become pitiless and press Its advantage to the utmost.

There was a hot tlmo on thp Midway last night , and nil doors opened to- the mys tic symbol of the star and crescent. And the Shrlners wcro not the only people who wore the fez and tassel. The oriental head gear adorned the curls of the brisk young women who toted huge mugs of something to quench the thirst of weary nobles , and even the barkers on the street contrived tc produce un article very similar to that which distinguished the visitors. The Shrlncrs were the whole show and everyone else hung around the edges and took It In. The festivities of the evening were begun with a parade In which a largo proportion of the nobles participated. It was formed on the West Midway , with a squad of ex position guards to clear the way , and the Denver Drum corps to give Inspiration tc the step of the marchers. Midway In the cavalcade the Streets ot All Nations , wt b Its camels , donkeys and dancing girls , oc cupied a conspicuous place , and Its band contributed very ncceptnbly to the musical features of the pageant. The procession marched down Twentieth street to the inalr court , thence across the viaduct and bacli to the starting point through the East Mid way. Then the nobles were led Into the Streets of All Nations , where they partici pated In the Battle of Confetti. After the fireworks the general crowd be gan to thin out , and the nobles had full swing of the amusement section. The ) broke up Into small parties and scoured tht street from end to end.

WHY THE NEW WOMAN IS HERE Dr. Co pel ami lixnlnlnM tlic Presence of the Advanced Fcinulc ami Her Peculiar Destiny * Rev. Dr. W. E. Copland , pastor of Unity church , Salem , Ore. , lectured lost night at Unity church , taking for his subject , "The Now Woman Selected by God to End -the World. " A fair sized audience was present and the lecture' was listened td with Inter est 'throughout. Dr. Copeland said In part : "Lieutenant Totten , military Instructor at Yale , who bas devoted more solid study to the so-called prophetic books of the Bible than any other man , has reached the conclu sion from a curious blending of science nnd mysticism that this cc'ntttry Is to be the end of the present dispensation , when will ccmo the long expected catastrophe which shall purify the earth with fire. With this con clusion agree a great many Christians ' .vho are looking fof the second coming of Jesus , as well as many 'nmohK' the people of India who expect a relncnfimtlon of Krishna. Buddhists declare tlj t KOon a new Buddha will appear. The M Jsms expect Mahomet. "Tho end ot the- world Is near at hand , and by this I mean the social world. These so called prophecies of the Bible concern ing the cnd'of the wor.ld refer to the end of the nge or present dispensation. The word translated world Is aeon , and this word means cycle or dispensation. "According to Bible , story woman has an after thought. She has ever been the slave of man , and man has hod everything his own way. Modern' society as well as an cient society has been controlled by man. A change hoa already been begun among Americans from whom the new race Is to bo born. This century has witnessed a mar velous change In the condition of woman. She has entered ono and another of the occupations formerly belonging to jnau ; she has even Invaded the professions , nnd now has laid her sacrilegious hand on the holy ark , on politics , has secured the right ot suffrage in seine states. We are Just en tering on that cycle when woman comes to her estate , that of equality and In some respects superiority to man. Many causes have contributed to this change. The new woman the now humanity capable of handling the , delicate but omnipotent forces Just belng revealed , lifts the .race .onto n , higher piano of living , ends the reign of selfishness and of the animal , breaks the Idols BO long worshiped by Ig norant , , brutal 'men arid thus ends the old world of , forces , greetl and barborism. The day dreamed of by poets , prophesied by sages Is near. at hand. " SERVICES AT TEMPLE ISRAEL Comiiii ? of the .Jeivlsh Xevr Year Mnrkn tltc Itenuniiitlon ot IlnMil FraiiKIln'M Lectures.
