WASHINGTON , Sept. 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.

member of the commission , are not exactly

morrow. 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. It
Is pointed out that the Interests of this
country1 might be seriously prejudiced If Ha

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.

On the Mliliuiy Lnxt Xlnht.
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. In most of the
principal resorts special features were in
troduced In honor ot their visit.

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. "

WASHINGTON , Sept. 14. It Is understood
that the president has Invited Senator Hoar ,
the senior senator fr6m Massachusetts , to
accept the London mission to succeed Mr.
Hay. While a definite response has not yet
been received , It Is gathered that the sen
ator will probably decline , oh the ground
that bo would be more serviceable tor the
Country In his present position , while the
delicate health of Mrs. Hoar renders a
change of habit and climate Inadvisable at
her time ot life.
It was rumored Uiat In the event of the
acceptance of the embassy by Senator Hoar ,
Secretary Long would be a. candidate for
the succession as senator from Massachu
setts. There Is reason to believe that the
secretary has made no movement In that
direction , but Is entirely content with his
post.

Cured Every Form of 1'llc-M
Without I'nln or Incon

Many people suffer the pain , annoyance
and other serious results from piles , for
years , and after trying the many lotions ,
salves , ointments and many BO called cures
-without euro or relief , glvo up the hope of
t
a final euro rather than submit to the In
tense pain and danger to llfo which a sur
gical operation Involves.
Happily all this suffering Is no longer
necessary since the discovery of the Pyra
mid Pile Cure , a remedy which Is approved
by the medical profession as being abso
lutely note , free from any trace of opiates ,
narcotic or mineral poisons and which maybe
bo depended upon as a sure cure ( not mere
ly relief ) In any form of piles , whether ItchIng -
Ing , blind , bleeding or protruding. Some
ot the hundreds of cures recently made
are llttlo short ot marvelous , as a perusal
of the following will demonstrate ,
Major Dean of Columbus , Ohio , says : I
wish to add to the number of certificates
as to the benefit derived from the Pyramid
Pile Cure. I suffered from piles for forty
years and from Itching piles for twenty
years and two boxes of the Pyramid I'ilo
Cure has effectually cured me.
Dr. J. W. Meagan , Leonardvllle , Kan. ,
writes : I have used a box of Pyramid Pile
Cure and received more benefit and relict
than from any other remedy I bad used In
tbo cast twenty years.
James Jaraerson , Dubuque , Iowa , saya-
I suffered from piles for six yean , have
just used tbo I'jramld Pile Cure and am &
well man.
Mrs. M. C. Hlnkly , C01 Mississippi street ,
Indianapolis , Ind. , says : Have been a suf
ferer from the pain and annoyance of piles
for fifteen years , the Pyramid Pile Cure and
Pyramid Pills cave me Immediate relief
and In a short tlmo a complete cure ,
The Pyramid Pile Cure may be found at
druggists at CO cents and $1.00 per package.
A book on cause and euro ot piles will be
sent by mall by addressing tbo Pyramid

The program for the morning session ot
the cemetery superintendents was cut yes
terday owing tp the absence from the city
ot Dr. George L. Miller , Ho was down for
nn address on "Tho Early History and De
velopment of the City of Omaha and the
State of Nebraska , " but left early In the
week for the cast on a mission for the ex
position. Tbo time thus loft unoccupied
after the reading of two other papers on
the program was taken up with discussing
smaller questions appertaining to manage *
mcnt of cemeteries , which developed con
siderable Interest and brought out many
expressions of opinion.
George II. Scott o ; ' Chicago read his paper
on "Tho Importance of Largo Bodies ot
Water In the Landscape , Natural or Arti
ficial , In Cemeteries or Parks , " and argued
that cemeteries should have their own
water supply. Ho advised , where n
natural stream did not exist , thnt
an nrtlflcl.il one , or n lagoon ,
should bo constructed. This Is not
only for the added beauty It would glvo to
the landscape , but It is desirable for many
reasons to have nn abundance of water clos-j
at hand.
M. P. Brazil ! of St. Louis reviewed the
Cincinnati meeting last year nnd brought
out the salient lessons taught there as
viewed after a year's reflection upon the
w orlc.
Xonilniitlons for OlllecrN.
Upon reassembling last evening candi
dates were placed In nomination for the dif
ferent ofllcTS , the election to be "held this

and A. W. Ilobcrt of Mlnncnjiolls ; for vice
prcsMrnt , M. P. Brazlll of St. Louis , and
William Stone of Lynn , Mass.- for secre
tary and treasurer there was but one name
mci.tloncd , that of the present Incumbent ,
Frank Enrich of Detroit.
The. association voted that a letter of re
gret bo sent to Charles Nichols of Newark ,
N. J. , the father of the organization , that
owing to his age and the distance ho Is unable -
able 'to ' attend the present meeting.
Prof. George H. Chatburn ot the Univer
sity of Nebraska read a paper on "Drive
ways.'Their Construction and Maintenance. "
Ho holds thnt drainage is the principal
factor In the maintenance ot good roads.
Ho alto mentions different materials which
may bo used In making loads , preferring
cinders \\hero the travel Is light , and gravel
where the travel | s heavy.
"Aquatic Plants and Other Flowers In
Our Cemeteries" was the biibject ot a pa
per by William Stone of Lynn , Mass. , In
which ho toughl to Impress the members
of the association with the necessity of
adorning the cemetery grounds with. Na
ture's decorations , even to the cultivation
and care of aquatic plants , which he thinks
will add materially to the attractiveness
of the general landscape effects.
The association has Its work well ad
vanced , n good portion of the program for
thla morning having been disposed of , leav
ing the election of officers and the selection
of a place for the next annual meeting the
most Important matters yet to bo consid
ered. Th'd committee on place of meeting
has three Invitations before It , they being
from Detroit. Plttsburg nnd Now Haven ,
Conn. The meeting will adjourn slno die
today , although most of the visitors will
remain In the city the rest ot the week.
David Wood of Plttsburg , who was on
the committee to select a place for the next
meeting , had to leave for homo yesterday
on account of illness. His place on the com
mit. It o has been taken by William Harris of
the same city.
