MANY CRITICISMS ARE UNFAIR They All Harp on the Demands for Philippines. TALK OFINTERVENTION a epee PARIS, November 10.—The of this city, after yesterday's meeting of the peace commissions, seemed to have gathered from some source or other the tmpression that the Spanish commissioners have cause for complaint against the Americans because the latter presented their replies to the Spanish proposals in English and without a Spanish transla- tion of the document. There is no basis for the complaint on the subject. The president of the Spanish commission, Senor Montero Rios, and Judge D: President of the American commission, agreed that, owing to the length of the document, all concerned might be spared the reading of matter which Is usually translated in writing into Spanish for the benefit of Senor Montero Rios and the two members of the Spanish commission who do not understand English. Each side up to the present has made its own written translations, but the Amer- newspapers cans alone have supplied an interpreter, instead of furnishing an interpreter for their side, as they might have been ex- pected to do. The American interpreter is Arthur Ferguson, and the Spaniards have marveled at the facility with which he did his work. They have never once checked him or corrected him in the slightest de- gree. Newspaper Comment. In view of the facts in the case, some ot the references of the Paris newspapers this morning are interesting. Regarding yesterday's meeting, the Fi- garo says: “The American commissioners contented themselves wiih producing a long memorandum written having deposited this u feft the task of translat in glish. After m the table they gz it to the Span- Ish commisstoners, apologizing courteous- ly for its length and the difficulties of translation. They then retired. The situa- Uon then, at present, fs as follows “The Americans persist in refusing to take over the Cuban debt and exact the cession of the Philippines. The Spaniards, on their side, refuse to cede the archi- pelago.”” The Petit Bleu says: “All diplomatic forms were outraged by the Americans at yesterday's sitting. It is customary in such cases to read the memorandum presented to the other side. The Americans, how- ever, contented themselves with throwing it, written in English, upon the table. ntinuing, the Petit Bleu says: “A member of the Spanish commission has re- n never ad- in regard to marked that his colleagues mit the claims of America the Philippines. The protocol says the treaty of peace shall determine the disposi- tion control of the Philippines, and the cans now claim that ‘dispo: tien’ means that the colony shall be su rendered to America. This Spain can ne he Petit Bleu expresses its belief in an early rupture of the negotiations. Will Yield Only to Force. ‘lne Rappell says: “A Spanish commis- sioner has declared that the Spaniards will only to force in the question of the Islands.” aing, the Rappell asserts that it the rupture of the negotiations arly date, adding: he country whic d out as the liberator of Cuba now threatens war, al- though her demands as to Cuba have been Jed to, because she cannot annex ter- ritory which played no part in the bringing We preferred the liberator ‘aba to the oppressor of Spain.” Gaulois presents a long argument in favor 0: ish retention of the Philip- pine Islands, saying, among other things, that naniards refuse absolutely to ad- mit even in principle the cession of authori- ty in the Philippine Isla adding that the outcome is likely to be a rupture of the . followed by the occupation of is by the American troops. As a final eventuality, the Gaulois inti- mates that there might be a possibility of European intervention, although the paper doubts if there will be such action, in vie of the differences which divide’ Fran Great E n and Russia. Germany alone, accordin. the Gaulois, seems disposed to offer aid to Spain, saying “The expected arrival of Emperor Will- fam at Cadiz and his probable visit to the queen regent are sufficiently signific: dications of his friendly disposition Spain.” The Matin announces that the Spaniards on Saturday next will present a “fresh refutation of the points of law and fact advanced by the Americans. Continuing, the Matin says: “It is thought the negotiations will last for some time yet, and it is altogether untrue that a rupture is imminent. ‘acts ax to the Protocol.

About four days later the informa- tion forthcoming in a response em- bodying the terms of the protocol, save for the use in the Philippine paragraph of the word “possession.” Before the res was formally presented to M. Cambon, Spain's repre ative in Washington, he suggested the substitution of the word “dis- position.” The United States government satisfactory at Washington, as calculated to breed misunderstanding, and, if l2ft un- challenged, as holding exactly th> possibill- ties of dissension which it is now sought to introduce into the negotiations here. ‘The federal authorities, therefore, oa or atout August 10, addressed to M. Cam- bon a communication, pointing out that, while the foregoing utterances trom Mad- rid were understood by him to convey Spain’s acceptance of the terms of peace, the acceptance was not entirely >xpticit, and that the most direct and certain way of avoiding misunderstandings was to em- bedy in a protocol the terms on which the negotiations for peace were to be under- taken. Along with this note was sent to M. Cam- bon a protocol, embolying the precise terms tendered to Spain in the American communication of about July 30. imme- iately upon receiving the Cambon transmitted the protocol is Mad: panied by a mossage from himse! showing that the French ambassauoi knew the United States government ‘id net re- gard Spain's resporse to the peace terms as satisfactory or acceptable. M. Cambon'’s Message to Spain. M. Cambon’s message to Spain was as follows: “The federal government has decided to state precisely in a protocol the basis upon which the peace negotiations must, in their judgment, be entered upon. I herewith send this document.” This message went to Spain about August 10. Two da jJater M. Cambon notitied Judge Day that he had just received a tel- egram, dated at Madrid August 12, in which Duke Almodovar de! Rio, the Spanish minis- ter of foreign affairs, announced that the Spanish government, by order of the queen regent, had conferred upon him (M. Cam- bon) full powers to sign without other for- mality the protocol drawn between M. Cam- bon and Judge Day. Indemnity Said to Be Refused. As for Spain’s demands of Friday last for the release of her imprisoned garrison at Manila, for the return to her of the cus- toms collected by the Americans and for in- demnity from the United States for the de- tention of her soldiers, it is understood that the American rejoinder today included all three points. It was held that the capitula- tion of Manila was a military capitulation, and that the poss ion by the Americans was a military occupation, which warranted the United States in the collection of du- ti and the administration of government, and placed them under obligations to pre- serve order and exercise all the functions of control. Spain’s contention that the capitulation invalid because oceurring after the ces- ation of hostilities doubtless held to dis- appear in her subsequent contention that it became referable to the protocol, which provides for the conditions following cap- itulation and now existing. ‘S PLURALITY NEAR GAG 30,000. Republicans Carry the State Ticket in * Californ SAN FRANCISCO, November 10.—Al- though complete returns have not yet been received from all the counties of California, the indications are that the majority for Henry T. Gage, republican, for governor will be Tly 30,000. His associates on the state ticket are all elected, with the possi- e exception of Curry for secretary of s who ran far behind his ticket and may have been beaten by Thompson, the democratic candidate. For justices of the supreme court, Me- Farland, republican, and Van Dyke, dem- oerat, are in the lead and will probably win, as the precincts to be heard from ai not expected to change the relative posi- tion of the opposing candidates. Mayor Pheian is elected in San Francisco 00 majority, but, with the ex- ception of the assessor and three superior judges and two supervisors, the other mu- nicipal officer: republicans. The next state legislature will have a large re- publican majority on joint ballot, insuring ate, the election of a republican United States senator. —_e—__ ASSASSIN LUCCHENI ON ‘TRIAL. He Murdered the Empress Elizabeth of Austria. GENEVA, Switzerland, November 10.— The Italian anarchist, Luigi Luccheni, who stabbed and killed Empress Elizabeth of Avstria on September 10 last in this city, was placed on trial h2re today. The court was crowded and the prisoner S strongly guarded, but there was no ex- citement. The result of the trial is regard- ed as certain. Luccheni bow>d politely to the court and the public, and answered the preliminary questions, through an interpreter, in a clear, strong voice. The public prosecutor, in reciting the cir- cumstances of the crime, said ther> was no clear evidence that Luccheni had ac- ecmplices, except in the fact of the prison- er’s own silerce on certain points which as he, in his declarations, had not spared Fim- self, could only be intended to shield ac- ccmplices. The evidence of an electrician, a boatman ard a cabman, who assisted in lucchenl's capture, was then taken. 3 , Switzerland, November 10.— Lucbeni was sentenced to rigorous impris- onment for life. a A VETERAN CONVICTED. G Charged With Obtaining Money Under False Pretense. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. ANNAPOLIS, Md., November 10.—Col. George H. Hamilton, an aged confederate veteran, was late yesterday afternoon con- victed in the criminal court here of obtain- ing $20.55 under false pretenses from the Marist Fathers at Doden, in this county. It is alleged that Hamilton went to the su- perior of the order and told him that the Fathers had been left $1,400 in Philadelphia, and said that if he sent a draft for the amount the superior would receive the money. The latter forwarded a draft, as suggested, and it was returned unpaid. Pending the transaction Hamiiton, on the rength of this representation, ‘received a that he had Leen duped, Hamilton arrested. Sen? tence was deferred. — HEAVY FOG ON THE CLYDE. Several Steamers Aground and One Collision Occurs. GLASGOW, November 10.—A fog pre- vailing on the Clyde has caused a number of disasters to shipping. The Allan Line steamer Scandinavian, from Boston for this port, grounded just above Bowling | Jast evening, when upward bound, and may have to lighten before she can be floated. The Anchor liner Furnessia, from New York, also for Glasgow, and reported acquiesced, the substitution was made, the formal response was delivered to M. Cam- bon, who forwarded it to Madrid, and on or about August 7 Spain forwarded her reply, which, as affectirg the Philippine questicn, Was evasive or ambiguous. Evasive Spanish Response. “The terms relating to the Philippines,” said the Spanish government, “seem, to our understanding, quite indefinite. On the one hand, the ground on which the United States believe themselves entitled to occupy the bay, harbor and city of Manila, pend- ing the conclusion of a treaty of peace, can- not be that of conquest, since, in spite cf the blockade maintained on the sea by the Americar fleet, and in spite of the siege es- tablished on land by 4 native, supported and provided for by an American admiral, Manila stil! holds its own and the Spanish standard still waves over the city. Fur- thermore, the whole archipelago of the Philippines is in the power and under the tage of Spain. “Therefore, the government of Spain thinks that the temporary ‘occupation of Manila should constitute a guarantee. It is seserted that the treaty of peace shall d>- termine the control, disposition and gov- ernment of the Philippines; but, as the in- tentions of the federal government rsmain velled, the Spanish government must, there. fore, declare that, while accepting the third condition, it does not rsnounce the sover- eignty of Spain over the archipelago, leav- ing it to the negotiators to agree as to such reforms ag the condition of these pos- scesions and the level of th2 culture of their natives may render desirable. The government of her majesty accepts the third condition, with the above-mention:4 declarations.” The United Staten’ Reply. ‘This part of Spain's note was deemed un-j aground, was attempting to pass the Scan- dinavian and fouied her. Both steamers are reported damaged. Several other steamers are reported to be aground or fog-bound nearby. —____ NEW JAPANESE CABINET, Associates of Marquis Yamagata, the Premier. The following is the complete list of the new cabinet of Japan, completed on the Sth instant: Marquis Yamagata, prime min- ister; Count Matsugata, minister of finance; Marquis Saigo, minister of interior; Admiral Kabayama, minister of education; Viscount Aoki, minister of foreign affairs; General Katsura, minister of army; Viscount Yoshi- | kawa, minister of communication; Vice Ad- miral Yamamoto, minister of navy; Mr. Kiyoura, minister of justice; Mr. Suono, minister of commerce and agriculture. ———— ee No Information Received. No additional information has been re- ceived at the Navy Department regarding the Spanish cruiser Teresa, supposed to be stranded on Cat Island. The ships Vulcan and Potomac are now on their way to that place and should reach there tomorrow morning. If the Teresa is on the beach she will be hauled off and towed to an Ameri- can port if possible. : The investigation of the abandonment of the Teresa has been deferred until the re- turn of the Vulcan, as the testimony of the officers and men of that vessel is necessary to establish the full responsibility and ne- cessity for the abandonment of the Span- ish prize. The detail of the court and the time and place of meeting will be announced of the rescue expedi- EIGHT MEN KILLED (Continued from First Page.) the sitaution here and its officers direct the patrolling and guarding of the city. I understand the governor has given his sanction to this plan, and if it is carried out will be salutory. The local detachment of Unite1 States naval reserves, in fatigue uniform and dragging their new 1-pounder rapid-fire gun, are now at the scene of the trouble, together with the Light Infantry and sev- eral hundred armed citizens. Sut there is nothing to shoot at, the negroes having dis- appeared. The committee of twenty-five went into session about 1 o'clock to devise means of preserving order. Sevetal propositions were put forward, but the plan which seems to Meet with most favor is the appointment of a committee of safety, to consist of six or ten men, who wili have supreme charge of the city, superseding the mayor and all others. These men would comprise the most conservative citizens. The realization is now dawning upon the community that the reckless white man is as much a source of danger as the negro to the péace of Wilmington, if not more so. Efforts wiil be made to hold the reckless in check. The reinforcements sent from Goldsboro’ have been turned back after consultation. All was quiet on the firing line at 1:30 o'clock. Eight Negroes Killed. ¢ Between 1 o'clock and 2 o'clock there were several skirmishes. The total casual- ties at 2 o'clock were: Eight negroes kill- ed, two wounded. Three white men wound- ed—Mayo, Chadwick and Piner. Mayo not dead, but shot through the lungs. About 1:30 o'clock p.m. two white men passing a house were fired upon. A detachment im- mediately surrounded the house and took away five negroes. It was at first proposed to kill them on the spot, but finally decided to put them in jail. Another negro {n the house broke and ran, but after proceeding half a square was shot dead. The negro who shot Mayo was recognized, it was claimed, and a detachment found him at house. He was riddled and left dead. Letter Came Too Late. Colonel Waddell, chairman of the commit- tee of twenty-five, received at noon today the following letter: “We, the colored citizens to whom was referred the matter of the expulsion from this community of the person and press of A. L. Manly, beg most respectfully to say that we are in no wise responsible for, nor in any manner condone the obnoxious ar- ticle that called forth your actions. Neither are we authorized to act for him in this matter; but in the interest of peace we will most willingly use our influence to have your wishes carried out. “Very respectfully, “THE COMMITTEE OF COLORED CITI- ZENS.” This letter, instead of being delivered in person to Col. Waddell at 0 this morning as required, was placed in the mail, and did not reach him until after the printing office had been destroyed. The negro to whom it was intrusted for delivery put it in the post office and wrote on the envelope “Please deliver at residence,” but he did not get it in time. N. O.

LONDON, November 10.—Major General Wesley Merritt, the commander of the American military forces in the Philippines, who is now in this city, in an interview on the result of the elections in the United States is quoted as saying: “I am very glad the President's policy seems to have been indorsed, Although I am somewhat of a democrat, I think it highly desirable that there should be a Congress that will ratify and carry into effect the result of the war and the peace treaty.” Referring to the Marauis of Salisbury’s Guild Hall speech, General Merritt said: “Most Americans, I believe, agree, and our English cousins insist, that we should keep the Philippine Islands. “I don't know whether the government is cooling toward us, but all the officials I have met here, some of them being in very high places, seemed enthusiastic over the friendship between the two countrie: All the Englishmen I met in the east, in- cluding governors, consuls, naval men, military men and business men, the latter of all nationalities were most anxious that the United States should retain the Philip- pine Islands. “We have a fine trade with north China, which could be strengthened by coaling sta~ tions and harbors in the east, without inter- fering with British interes do not think it true. papers say, that the Pacific will become an American lake.

Several districts are still in doubt. The republi- cans, according to returns received thus far, have a majority of 20 on joint ballot cut of a membership of 112. The fusion- Ists have elected cne senator. They had sixteen holdovers. ‘The present legislature stands: Senate—Re- publicans, 15; fusion, 17; independent, 1; doubtful, 1. House—Republicars, 61; fusion, 8; doubt- ful, 9. The senator classed as independent is Gray of Stevens county, who was elected on the citizens’ ticket. which was a fusion of republicans, silver republicans and dem- ocrats. It is claimed by both parties that he will act with them. His vote will become important in de- ciding which party will control the senate in case the republicans elect the senator yet undecided.

PANA, IL, November 10.—Wm. Lynch, who was employed by the Pana Coat Com- pany up to the time of the strike, has been shot at by negroes and run into the house. ‘Then they shot through the house of a widow, Mrs. McIntyre, who was taking care of her sick daughter. The negroes in the flat hall district came running out and be- gan to shoot in all directions. They kept shooting until militia arrived on the scene. When the shooting began many women acd children ran to Capt. Butler ef Com- pany B for protection. As far as known no person was struck by the bullets. Things are in such a state that it ts d@angerous for any one to go out in the mining district at night. The citizens say if something is not done before long there will be an outbreak, ani every negro and operator will be killed. It was impossible to arrest any of the negroes. ——_-——_ Gen.

He ciaims the legislature as surely republican in both branches. ee ERNEST ARNOLD'S TRIAL. .EGISLATURE. Charged With arrying Revolver Concealed Upon His Person. Ernest Arnold, a young colored man, was given a jury trial in the Police Court this afternoon on a charg> of carrying a revol- ver. Mr. Paul H. Schultze informed the court that between 12 and 1 o'clock Thurs- day morning the lady with whom he boards, at No. 60 Q street northeast, called and told him that gzomebody was trying to get In the hous3. When he looked out the window he saw a man standing near the curbstone with a bicycle. Witness called to the man, told him what was the matter, and asked him to help search the hous». The man did as requested, telling witness he (Arnold) was a “night detective.” While making the search, Arnold, he said, showed a revolver. After he reported to the police what had occurred Arnold was arrested, and witness identified him as the man who was at his boarding house. The defendant denied the charge. The night in question, he said, he was at the Cadets’ armory. He participated in a drill at the armory, and did not leave there un- til after 10 o'clock. Then he stopped at an oyster saloon and treated two female friends to oysters. He reached home about 11_ o'clock. Several other witnesses were examined by the defense.

The news that the United States commis- sioners are instructed to demand the ces sion of the whole group of the Phillppines will come a3 no surprise to readers of the Daily Mail. On October 6 our Madrid cor- respondent noted the fact—which we, in- deed, have anticipated from the first. It was quite impessible for America to sur- render the islands to anarchy, or to return them to Spanish government. The aunexa- tion will bring a new power into the far east with the most far-reaching results. Already strong reinforcements are on their way to Admiral Dewey, who will find him- self with a magnificent fleet to uphoid the honor of his country. The decision of the United States is peculiarly satisfactory to England. ————_>+2—____ ‘Well Versed im All Branches. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Rules the Market. GENERAL MARKET REPORT Special Dixpateh to ‘The Evening St NEW YORK, November 10.—The buying of stocks, bonds and miscellaneous securi- ties was more confident in character and More decided in results than any recorded in months. Bonds to the par value of more than $4,000,000 changed hands during the forenoon, making a new record for this branch of the investment market. Divi- dend-paying stocks and those within a rei Sonable distance of dividends were in ex- ceptional demand at substantial advances. The Granger issues were all bought In rcund amounts, the St. Puul weekly report of earnings stimulating business in all the Ptoperties in that section. Rock Isiand was taken up by a strong finenclal folicwing and made to reflect more accurately its ircreasing merit. The various Pacific issues were also taken by inside in terests, and talk of increased dividends for Union Pacific preferred and the inaugu tion of dividends on Northern Pacisic bas been revived. . All of the low-priced shares, such as Southern preferred, Atchison preferred, C., c., C. and I. were in good demand and at a new level of prices. Among the specialties the usual atten- tion was given to American Sugar and To- bacco, the covering of short contracts in the former being a feature of its advance Tenness>e Coal and Iron, after a period of neglect, is again being exploited, under the combined influence of consolidation and in- creasing traffic reporis. The consolidation rumor is based on the idea that the Faderal Steel Company, with its liberal cnaracter, will absorb this enterprising sout industry. Just now the street an especial confidenc> in and for iron and steel properties. In addition to the ordinary arguments which attract interest to these shares is the fact that ths strongest and most expert financial clique, in the street are jdentifled with the development of the new Federal Steel Cor- poration. Optimism is again in the ascendency, and to a degree quite superior to that of mid- summer. The elimination of politics has made a place for the discussion and recog- nition of merit and a new high level is conceded on all sides as the most likely of probabilities. During the afternoon the buying by com- mission houses was exceptionally good and the morning demand for bonds continued, increasing the total for the day to more than «0,000. This local demand was ably seconded by London, more than 30,000 shares of various stocks being taken for that account. Later cables from London reported an actual boom in American secrities. Today’ vpward moverent is too rapid to proceed without interruption and some profit taking at the close of the week may afford the first opportanity for taking an advantage of a temporary recession. There is abun dant evidence of a wiliingness to buy on rence any decline, and this condition of itself argues in favor of temporary recessions only. ——ee FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, New York Stock Market.
