Meanwhile the Spanish commissioners had been pre- paring a list of subjects for negotia- tions upplemented by suggestions counter to and amendatory to the sub- jects the Americans had submitted. This came to the American commis- sion in Spanish, rendering it even more desirable to postpone the joint session in order to give time for trans- lation and consideration. Now that the first gust of grief aiid chagrin has passed the Spanish commissioners are mneeting the Americans in a frank spirit that is helpful to an early com- pletion of the negotiations. Negotiations May Be Delayed. From information which came to the correspondent of the Associated Press from a well authenticated source late ght it seems unlikely that the ions will finish their work as soon as had been expected, It is prob- able that the negotiations will last considerable longer. Madrid has in- structed the Spanish commissioners on three points to which the Americans attach much importance. These are the cession of an island *in the Caro lines, the granting of religious freedom over the whole of the Carolines and the cession of a cable and coaling sta- tion at Ceuta. The Spanish govern- ment has instructed Senor Rios to grant none of these, and while Spain may ultimately yield to them all, it is admitted that the American commis- sioners haye no power to enforce their demands on points not covered by the protocol. Before Spain does yield the negotiations are likely to be prolonged and the United States may have to give a substantial quid pro quo. aes — DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.

Germany also makes the proviso that the nego- tiations shall be contingent upon no international complications arising, especially with the United States. Prince von Arenberg, president of the colonial society, assures the corre- spondont that the “acquisition of the Caroline islands is important less from the standpoint of commerce which is insignificant there than from a naval view. point.” London, Dee. 3.—The Berlin corre- spondent of the Telegraph expresses the opinion that Germany would pre- fer to buy a coaling station in the Phil- ippines from the United States. LOSS OF THE PORTLAND. Ten New Facts Have Developed—Es- timate of the Loss.

Few new facts bearing on the Portland wreck have developed. The conditions to-day were most favorable for the recovery of wreck- age and bodies. When the work of the day was summed up, however, only five bodies had been recovered in addition to those previously ’ taken from the water. SEARCHING FOR ANDRE. An Expedition Arrives’ at the Mouth of the Yenisie. London, Dec. 8. — A special from Yenisiesk, on the River Yenisie, Hast- ern Siberia, announces the arrival at the meuth of the Yenisie of an expedi- tion that had gone in search of Herr Andree, the aeronaut, who ascended in his balloon in July of last year from Spitzbergen with the intention of crossing the polar regions in search of the north pole. The expedition was wrecked while crossing the delta from the River Lena to the River Olenk, which flow into the Arctic ocean south- west of Bennett and De Long islands, tut managed to reach.an uninhabited island about 120 miles from the mouth of the Olenk. There the party was icebound seventeen days before it was succored. . LOMEN’S ERROR In Footing the Official Returns for Governor of State. St. Paul, Dee. 3. — Assistant Secre- tary Lomen confesses to an error. He reported that Lind’s plurality was 11,- 000, but now acknowledges that he made an error in footing up the total.

Wood and his aides, Mr. Robert Porter and others, they were Griven to the supreme court chamber. Here the judges donned their robes of office, long silk cowns, trimmed with white lace, and, accom- panied by the attornies practicing in the court, who were similarl ydressed, formed a procession and passed into the court room, the chief justice es- corting Gen. Wood. The procession having divided into semi-circles, Gen. Wood, in a few etactful and forceful words, opened the proceedings, deliv- ering the court, in the name of the United ‘States government, to the chief justice and his associates and demanding from the public implicit obedience to the court’s decision and decrees. His speech was translated into Spanish by Capt. Mendoza. Chiet Justice Echevarria, replying, accepted the judicial offices in the name of jus- tice, formally recognizing the United States as the supreme power, and de. claring that the bench would render justice to rich and poor alike. THEY BUY ARMS. Cuban Army Accumulates Eight Thousand Rifles. Havana, Dec. 4. — The executive committee of the Cuban assembly agreed at its last session to make it compulsory upon the part of auy Cuban officer insulted by Spanish, American or other officers, to chal- lenge the person so insulting, to fight a duel. The measure has two aims, ac- cording to the Cubans, first, “to main- tain the dignity of the Cuban army,” and, secondly, “to check the impudence and insolence of many so-called Cuban officers who, without ever having put their courage to a test, having enlisted after the armistice, are swaggering about with Cuban uniforms, endeavor- ing to offend Spanish officers.” It is learned on good authority that the Cubans have recently secretly ac- quired quite a formidable armament, the ulterior object of which is not known. It is added that they have purchased 8,000 rifles within the last ten days. The fact ‘is causing consid- erable speculation here. WILL NOT MAKE TROUBLE. Aguinaldo Certnin to Assume a Con- eiliatory Attitude. Manila, Dec. 4.—Owing to the fact that the result of the Paris convention has long been anticipated here the agreement of Spain to cede the Philip- pine islands to the United States cre- ated no excitement. The Americans made no demonstration. Commercial circles were relieved. Spaniards were indifferent and some of the American volunteers were disgusted at the pros- pect of being detained here now fight- ing is finished. Aguinaldo is certain to assume a conciligtory attitude because his position is daily becoming more un- tenable. His rival intriguers are be coming uncontrollable, especially since funds have run short and the outlying provinces have become disaffected. Al- tough never much more than a figure- head, Aguinaldo has been sonsistently temperate and the authorities have po reason to fear that he will depart from this policy. Nevertheless the native newspapers continue to publish inflam- matory articles. GOOD NEWS FROM OTIS. Health of the American Troops Show a Decided Improvement. Washington, Dec. 4.—That there is a decided improvement in the health of the troops in the Philippines is shown by the following message from Gen. Otis, commanding at Manila, received by Adjt. Gen. Corbin: Percentum of sick of command Noy. 30, 101-6 2s against 121-5 on Oct. 31. November deaths, 26, as against 45 for October. Sick rate in command about same as among troops of other governments serving in tropical countries. One- third of present sick suffering from typhoid and malarial fevers, one-sixth from intestinal troubles and the re- maining half of ailments slight in character. SENT TO HAVANA.

Upon her arrival Rear Admiral Sampson will hoist his flag on board, and it is expected will come north in her the last of next month. Buffalo in the Western League. Chicago, Dec. 4.—Buffalo became a member of the Western ledgue of baseball clubs. Negotiations to this end had been in progress for some time and. the papers were signed by President B. B.

London, Dec. 4—The Chronicle prints the following from Shanghai: The opinion is growing in diplomatic circles that a foreign military occupation of Peking may become necessary. “MINNESOTA NEWS TO BE ABANDONED. Further Hearing in the Iron Ore Rate Case. The state railroad commission has decided to abandon the big ore-rate case. After taking testimony at Duluth, Cleveland, Ohio, Chicago and St. Paul, filling 250 type-written pages, the com- mission concludes that the state has no interest in the proceedings ‘his action is taken because the original complainants, Messrs. John G. Brown of Duluth, and Dr. Conan of West Su- perior, declare that they cannot afford to stand the expense of further inyesti- gating the rates charged by the Du- luth & Iron Range and the Duluth, Missabe & Northern. Attorney G. M. Nelson, representing the Vermillion Iron company, one of the interested parties, on Monday re- quested a continuance of the case un- til he had communicated with the com- pany whether to intervene and contin- ue the case. It is now decided that the Vermillion company’s interests would be protected, and consented to a dis- continuance of the hearing. The Carnegie interests, which have been identified with the Oliver mine in that district, inform the commission that they do not care to have the case continued, so that, practically, all of the interested parties have withdrawn from the prosetution. This move on the part of the Carnegie interests, is taken to indicate that they have either received a satisfactory concession from the roads in the iron district, or that they will themselves put in a new rail- way for carrying ore from their mines the coming spring. STATE'S CASH BOX. Revenue Fand Turns a Corner With- out an Overdraft. The state has $872,000 in the treas- ury at the close of the month, of which $103,000 is in the general fund, $3S3,- 000 in the permanent school fund and the rest in special funds. The treasur- er has a right to go into the pocket where the state keeps its roll to meet a temporary deficit in the change pocket, which is the revenue fund, and such an overdraft would have been made if the state prison had not turned in $125,000 the other day. Money for the October settlements will be coming in now, so that there will be no shortage, but 2 lot of money when the legis- lature. meets. Following is funds: Revenue fund.........

White Earth, Minn.—A large coun- cil, comprising many chiefs and head men of the reservation, was held in the agency office. The meeting was presided over by Special Agent Schwartz, of the government land of- fice, and inspector J. E. Jenkins, of the Indian office. The main question at issue was the cutting of dead and down timber and otber matters rela- tive thereto. Two of the speakers were vehement in their statements and de- nunciations regarding the manner in which the work has hitherto been con- ducted, especially in the diminished reservation, and stated that the great- er portion of timber cut last season was green timber. Special Agents Parks and Schwartz, of the land office, have practically completed their in- vestigation, and will report to Wash- ington exhaustively on the cutting of down and dead timber and the pine land question in general. Inspector Jenkins will have a council with the Indians early next week, for the pur- pose of listening to their complaints or any suggestions the men wish to make relative to the affairs of the reserva- tion. PRISON RECEIPTS. Large Earnings From the Binding Twine Industry. The Stillwater prison turned in $125,- 000 recently to the state treasury, on account. Last month it remitted $71,- 454. This is a considerable increase over the earnings last year, and shows a big balance in favor of the prison over the drafts from the treasury for maintenance, The binding twine that is sold in the summer and at harvest time is all col- lectible in October or Noy. 1, and that accounts for receipts for close on to $200,000 in the last thirty days. The current earnings from month to month |, vary from $1,000 to $13,000, and aver- age about $3,000. According to Ward- en Wolfer’s figures, the prison was self-supporting last year, and returned to the state $60,000 above its cost of support. This year, on the same basis, it is likely to make a showing much better. Eccentric Man’s Suicide. Adrian, Minn.—A citizen returning from the country went to the Coleman house barn for his team, and there dis- covered the body of Herbert Gerady, an eccentric German, hanging by the neck Gerardy had not even made use of anything to step off from, so as to leave himself hanging free from the floor, but had stood on the floor, tied the rope, then picked up his feet and strangled. He has often been heard to threaten to kill himself. He leaves a wife and children and a brother here, , but he has not lived with his family for several months. : | Now Spain we ‘WHO BLEW UP THE MAINE? jd Like an INvesti- gation. | Paris, Dec, 4.—One of the articles for the peace treaty submitted by the Spanish commissioners provides that the United States and Spain shall ap- Point an international commission of seven experts, each country to name one of its citizens, one Briton and one Frencl:man, a German to be the pres- ident. This commission is to de- termine the responsibility for the Maine disaster. If Spain is responsible she is to send a warship to salute the American flag at New York. If she is not, the United States are to pay all expenses of the commission. Drafts of articles submitted by the Spanish commissioners relate to the nationality of inhabitants of ceded territory, the jurisdiction of courts, the cases pend- ing in them, the continuation of grants and contracts for public works, serv- ices in the ceded territory and kindred matters. The Spaniards’ idea is that, having yielded in the main principles, they will gain important advantages in the details. Yesterday’s session was a repetition virtually of several earlier meetings. When, after two hours of discussion taking a wide range, the Spaniards were pressed for definite statements, they pleaded that they had not re- ceived instructions from Madrid. Thereupon the Americans declared, in diplomatic phraseology, that it was useless to waste time in debate with men who were not empowered to make bargains. Although adjournment was taken until to-day it is probable that there will be further postponement un- til Monday. The Spaniards’ version of the session is that they asked to have the treaty concluded first and then the miror matters discussed. According to reports from American sources the Spanish commissioners endeavored to draw hints as to how far the Amer!- cans were willing to compromise the demands under discussion without dis- closing the concessions Spain was willing to make. As the negotiations proceed the prospects of consuming much time increase. Several very im- portant propositions presenting many phases invite discussion and must af- terward be embodied in the agree- ments. This task of embodying may be long drawn out, every word and comma requiring consideration. On the questions yet unsettled which do not concern territorial or financial in- terests both commissions display laud- able anxiety to promcte the welfare of the inhabitants involved. THE MARKETS.
