% 7 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1898. UNCLE SAM WILL TAKE THE PHILIPPINES Spanish Commission- ers So Informed. HISTCRY - MAKING MESSAGE | | COMMUNICATED TO THE DONS | AT THE PARIS CONFERENCE. | America Will Only Assume Such Por- tion of the Debt as Has Been Spent for the Benefit of the Islands. | | | | | Special Dispatch to The Call. PARIS, Oct. 31.—The American Peace | Commissioners, each carrying a port- folio containing records and personal memoranda, left their headquarters in the Continental Hotel for the meeting | ywith the Spanish Commissioners at the Foreign Office shortly before 2 o'clock this afternoon. The president of the Spanish Commission, Senor Montero | Rios, whose health at one time was| 80 precarious as to threaten an indefi- | nite adjournment of the sessions of the | commissions, had improved to the ex tent of enabling him to attend tn‘day's] meeting. He arrived at the Foreign | Office in a closed carriage with his col- | leagues shortly after the Americans | reached the meeting place. Soon after | 2 o'clock the commissioners confronted | each other across the table on which, | , Benjamin Franklin and his col- : treaty of imlcp\‘ndAi e United States. | The Americans were removing their | wraps when the Spaniards entered the | anter and polite and cordial greet- s were exchanged as the two groups, ing, passed through thegrand , where a buffet was spread, and | ntered the conference chamber, in which, before leaving, the Spaniards d learn the attitude of the United toward the Philippine yanish Commissioners took their accustomed places at the historic table, the afternoon light full in their faces, while the Americans ranged themselves opposite, with their backs to the light, and with the interpreter standing at the | end of the table, on the right of Judge | Day and the left of Senor Montero | ios, and between the two secretaries, | Moore and Senor Ojeda. cretary Moore, upon the request of | passed to Mr. Ferguson, the | formulated demands of | regarding the Philip- re read to the Spaniards ue by a rapid render- glish, in which they | written. Although the Spanish | Commissioners did not betray anxiety | their attention to the reading was keen. | They had anticipated that the United | States would take over the islands, but the terms and detalls of the transfer | had all along been a subject of specula- tion. e The reading disclosed the fact that | the United States Government had de- | termined to possess for itself certain | territory and parts of land bounded by and lying within such parallels of lat- | itude and longitude as mark the limits of the Philippine archipelago. The | Tr. ted States do not propose assuming | the Philippine debt of $40,000,000, but | they are willing to be responsible to | Spain for a sum of money equal to the actual expenditures by Spain in the| Philippines for the advantage of the | islands and for the good of their peo- ple, for permanent betterments and for improvements, both physical and men- tal. The reading of the presentment spe- cifies that the United States will reim- burse Spain to the extent of her ‘“pa- cific expenditures” made in the archi- This phrase “pacific expedi- ployed to differentiate the | s by Spain in combating | rections in the Philippines. The one is felt by the Commissioners to be a fair burden on the acquiring | power, while the other and latter class | o1 expenditures is heid tc have beenlog- | jcally assumed by Spain in the inevit- | able hazard to & nation resorting to arms to enforce order in its own terri- tory. Such is the vital portion of the pre- sentment made by the American Com- | missioners to-day, and it is to be ob- | served that while the main proposition | as to possession and financial responsi- | bility is clear and definite, many details have been left to the developments of | the discussions betwzen the two com- | missions. _Thus, while the Spaniards are to-night quite certain that the| United States- intends to reimburse | them for ‘‘pacific expenditures,” they | remark that they are not enlightened as to whether the Americans expect to | indorse the Spanish obligations to the | extent of “pacific expenditures” in the | archipelago or whether they will hand Spain a lump sum of gold large enough | to cover Spanish outlay so designated. Possibly the American Commissioners themselves are not at this moment fully determined on this point. It is| unlikely, however, that the Americans | will care ‘to become identifled in the | slightest degree with Spain in her re- | sponsibility to -her - creditors. The} | | clearer method seems to be to hand to Spain spot cash, or something as good, and to bid her apply it on her debts by whatever name known, or to put it in her wallet for whatever use she may elect. While the United States have desig- nated ‘‘pacific_expenditures” as those they will reimburse to Spain, the pre- sentment of the American Commis- sioners to-day did not demand either a schedule or an inventory of the same from the Spaniards. But the sugges- tion naturally raises an inquiry as to the kind and quantity of Spain’s “pa- cific expenditures” in the Philippines, and some light may be given on that matter now. There is considerable traffic between the islands and some time ago a sys- tem of lighthouses became necessary. Spain set out to supply this and pro- jected forty-eight light stations. Of these she has already constructed sev- enteen of the first class and sixteen of the second class. What they cost is not vet known here, but in American wa- ters those of the first class cost from to $250,000 each, so that, on an ze basis of the minimum cost in - United States, Spain’s thirty-three lighthouses may represent an outlay of $825,000. Spain has constructed breakwaters at Manila at an expense not yet known here, and wharves of small value along the Pasig River. She has recently built barracks for 24,000 men now occu- pled by American troops, the cost of which is not yet ascertained. 4 At Cavite Spain had buiit a naval station. which, before it was sacked by the natives, was said to he equal to the Mare Island station and may be worth $2,500,000. Whether or not the last two items can be strictly designated “pa- cific expenditures” must be determined in conference, but the lighthouse, water {mprovements, barracks and naval sta- N A e proINB] © wetlLs @PLACES wELD By EGYPTIAN GARRISONSAT THE TIM OF THE MARDI'S RISE .

Map of the Upper Nile region and the Bahr-el-Ghazal country and the Great Divide separating the Nile and Congo basins, beyond which the Brit- ish insist the French shall not come, with the several places held by Egyptian garrisons at the time of the Mahdil uprising. The Bahr-el-Ghazal country has an area five times as large as England and a population of from five to seVen millions, most of whom are cattle owning and iron working negroes. The region passed under the control of Egypt in 1878, when Gessi Pashi, Gordon’s able lieutenant, defeated Zuhbier Pasha, the great slave dealer, at his stronghold, Dun Sulieman, which was made the seat of government until the surrender to the Mahdi in 1834, since which time no Europeans or Egyptians have been in the country ua- til Major Marchand’s advent. as the owner of the Philippines and are deemed worth a fair price. Spain has also bullt some schoolhouses, which the Americans are willing to take over at cost. The S-anish Commissioners listened attentively, though not without some | evidences of impatience and surprise at | the financial suggestions in the Ameri- asked Madrid can presentment, and finally until Friday to consult the Government and make reply. Adjournment was then taken to that day. After the conference was dissolved the Spanish Commissioners expressad the opinion that the American demands would create in Spain, as they had upon her Commissioners, an exceeding- ly grave impression. Were the Spanish Commissioners pushed to final determination to-night they would reject the American de- mands, but the changing tone of the Spanish press recently urges the con- summation of a treaty of peace, how- ever rigorous, the argument being that, although the Spaniards bow to the American demands, the Commissioners do not acknowledge the justice or ad- mit the legality of them. To-night the Snanish Commissioners feel that the United States to all in- tents and purposes have not offered any financial inducement to Spain to cede by treaty any part of the Philip- pines. Had the American Commission- ers even offered to take over the entire Philippine debt of about $40.000,000 the Spaniards affect to feel that it would have been as nothing and they regard to-day’s position so meager as not to warrant even a schedule of Spain’s “pacific expenditures” in the archipel- ago. DELAY WILL BE VERY . DEAR FOR SPAIN NEW YORK, Oct. 31.—The Herald's Washington correspondent telegraphs: President McKinl supplemental in- structions to the American Peace Com- missioners on the subject of® the Phil- ippines. leave open the matter of com- pensation to be given Spain, and are only explicit in directing them to in- form the Spanish Commissioners that it is the purpose of the United States to retain possession of all the islands. The Spanish = Commissioners have | been given to understand that the United States will consider the subject of compensation, but no instructions whatever regarding this have been sent to Paris. The amount and character of the compensation are left open for negotiation between representatives of the two nations. 1t is confidently believed here that the Spanish Commissioners will ulti- mately agree to give un the islands, though they may prolong negotiations considerably before yielding. Should they refuse to entertain the proposition and break off negotiations the two countries would be brought to the verge of a resumption of hostilitles. Spain now has an opportunity to give up the Philippines and receive some compen- sation for them. Should her Govern- ment, however, compel the United States to resume hostilities or go to the extent of preparing for such resump- tion she would forfeit all rights to com- pensation, and would not only be stripped of the Philippines, but might lose still more of her island possessions. President McKinley regards the Phil- ippines as conquered territory, which the United States has a right to dispose of under the laws of war. UNCLE SAM BACKED BY GREAT BRITAIN WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.—The Paris dispatch stating it to be the purpose of the commissioners on the part of America to insist upon the retention of the entire Philippine archipelago and that this purpose had been stated in writing created no surprise here, for on Sunday night the President sent to Chairman Davis of the commission a cipher cablegram instructing the com- missioners to make a firm stand on this line. This, as intimated by the Eastern newspapers of Democratic faith, is not intended as a mere piece of ‘“bun- combe,” intended to influence voters at the forthcoming election, for those who have been nearest the President have known for months that it was in his mind to retain the whole Philippine group. Yndeed, it has been his intention to aequire the islands ever since the naval battle of Manila. The annexation of the Hawalian Islands was but a part of the policy he outlined for his ad- ministration soon after his inaugura- tion. A close friend of the President related to The Call correspondent a conversation had at the White House when the Dingley tariff bill was pend- ing. Allusion was made to the old “McKinley bill” passed In 1890, and to James G. Blaine’s emphatic denuncia- tion of that measure, when one night ticn are necessary to the United States | he appeared before the Ways and P et e RAILROADS WOULD CINCH UNCLE SAM YORK, Oct. 31.—The Washington corre- spondent says: Some hitch has been encountered in connection with the movement of troops to Southern camps. I am inform- ed that the railroads have band- ed together for a new deal with the Government. Since points of destination have been defi- nitely established pooling ar- rangements, I am told, have sud- denly taken shape which puts the Government at the mercy of the transportation companies. In order to effect some rate that is reasonable the Government has invited railroad representatives NEW Herald's to a conference to-morrow, when the whole subject will be canvassed. PR R R R IR S U U U R ah s s SR SR R Means Committee at the Capitol and dramatically declared it was a measure that would impose a burdensome taxa- tion on the people which they would resent at the polls, while the bill would not open the doors of foreign markets for the sale of “a single barrel of pork.” During an interview with President McKinley at the White House recently Mr. Blaine's prophecy was alluded to and the President remarked: ‘“Not- withstanding the direful prediction of Mr. Blaine, who was carried off his feet by an excess of passion, the time is near at hand when the United States will find a market for her products abroad, not only in South America and European countries, but in the Orient.” Dewey’s success at Manila opened the way for the realization of Presi- dent McKinley's long cherished plan of extending our trade in the far East. There are indications, too, that acting hand in hand with Great Britain he will seek to extend our commerce even beyond the Chinese walls. The recall of Embassador John Hay from the Court of St. James and his appointment as Secretary of State was a part of this plan, for while Mr. Hay was in London he acted under instructions from Wash- ington and through conferences with Lord Salisbury and Mr. Chamberlain reached an agreement whereby the two great English-speaking countries were to join hands in the far East in order to compete with Germany for the trade of the Orient which she is so rapidly acquiring, as well as to resist the ag- gression of Russia in the Chinese em- pire. This compact is what gave rise to ru- mors of an “alliance” between the two nations at that time. But this is as far he so-called alliance went. The United States did not bind itself to aid Great Britain with armed force to re- sist Russian aggression in Manchuria, but it was understood even then we would retain the Philippines and this was and is greatly desired by Great Britain. This information was given The Call correspondent by one who has been in close touch with the President and there is no reason to doubt its correct- ness. When two or three weeks ago it was decided to strengthen our garrison in the Philippines it had been determined by the President to make a flrm stand for the cession of the entire group of the Philippines, and The Call corre- spondent understands that some of the soldiers now on the way to Manila as well as those to be sent later will b stationed for garrison duty not only at Manila and on the island of Luzon, but in other islands of the archipelago. AMERICA’S DEMAND SURPRISES THE DONS MADRID, Oct. 31.—The news that the Spanish Peace Commissioners at Paris had referred to the Government the for- mal demand of the American Commis- sioners for the absolute cession of the entire Philippine group caused the greatest surprise in Madrid. The strongest feeling prevails that the Gov- ernment should protest energetically against what is regarded as a violation of the spirit of the protocol. MAMMOTH ARMY HOSPITAIs ‘Will Be Capable c¢f Accommodating a Thousand Patients. SAVANNAH, Ga., Oct. 3L.—-It is official- ly announced that Savannah will have a general United States army hospital with accommodations for 1000 patients. The War Department has asked for bids for the erection of the hospital building, which will be the largest in the United States. This announcement was made to-day by Captain John W. McHarg, who has asked for sealed bids, to be opened in November. AR ARt e s g BRITISH NAVAL PREPARATIONS ARE RUSHED Crisis Approaching as to Fashoda. AN EMERGENCY SQUADRON |GATHERING AT DEVONPORT | WITH ALL SPEED. | France May Yield All Except as to the Question of Her Right to the Bahr-el-Ghazal District. Epectal Dispatch to The Call. LONDON, Oct. 31.—There was an un- | expectedly gloomy feeling this morn- ing on the Stock Exchange and the | Paris Bourse, both of these markets | being influenced, it is inferred, by the aggressive tone of some of the French | papers. Besides this, something extra- | ordinary seems to have happened, and | it looks as if a crisis were approach- ling. The British naval preparations are being pushed with great activity. The British emergency squadron is gathering at Devonport with all pos- sible speed. Seven battleships and one cruiser have thus far been designated to join the squadron. s Officers and sailors have been hur- riedly recalled from leave of absence, several battleships and cruisers at Portsmouth are taking their'full crews on board and other warlike prepara- tions are being made. A number of signalmen, now on duty with the Brit- ish Channel Squadron, which arrived at Gibraltar this morning, have been or- dered home for service, it is presumed, on British auxillary cruisers, if the lat- ter should be desired for actlve ser- vice. A sensation has been caused by the arrest of a supposed Russian spy at a fort near Harwich. The man was al- ready under surveillance and went to a redoubt where he tried to obtain some information from a sentry regarding the fortifications. He was promptly arrested and inquiries are being made regarding his antecedents. It is also asserted to-day that the commanding officers of the London vol- unteer regiments had received orders iw prepare for immediate mobilization, ‘and it was asserted that the different | artillery corps have been informed as to the forts on the southern and east- ern coasts to which they have been al- lotted. The Pall Mall Gazette this afternoon says: “England has been and even now is so near war that the Government has carried its preparations to the farthest limit of the preparatory stage. It has | been arranged to call out the reserves | and militia, to mobilize the volunteers simultaneously, and to form large camps at various important railroad junctions, where rolling stock and lo- comotives will be concentrated.” FRANCE CLINGS TO THE BAHR-EL-GHAZAL DISTRICT PARIS, Oct. 81.—The Eclaire to-day says it learns on rellable authority that the Fashoda question will be settled fa- vorably to Great Britain by the recall of Major Marchand. France, the pa- per adds, yields all, reserving only the question of the right of the Bahr-el- Ghazal district, which she does not consider as belonging to Egypt. Continuing, the Eclaire remarks: 8 del Casse, however, has now decided to raise the whole Egyptian question, which should have been done from the first, and thus to avoid the humiliation of yielding to the British ultimatum. When the question is thus enlarged France will not be alone in its discus- sion with the Marquis of Sallsbury. Egypt interests all the powers. Rus- sia has promised M. del Casse its most effective assistance and Germany has the greatest interests, in view of her African possessions and trade in the far East, that the Suez canal should not be too exclusively British, and is dis- posed to support French-Russian argu- ments for a definite settlement of the Egyptian question.” ENGLAND MAY WANT THREE PACIFIC LINERS VANCOUVER, Oct. 31.—An uncon- firmed report says the Canadian Pacific Railroad has received notification from the British Admiralty that three big Empress liners may be required at any moment to be transformed into auxil- jary cruisers. Guns and other equip- ments lle at Hongkong and Esquimalt. One- vessel is now in Vancouver harbor, one at Hongkong and the other en route to Yokohama. If trouble with France assumes its worst aspect the Empresses will be ready immediately. BRITISH ACTIVITY AT HALIFAX YARDS HALIFAX, N. S, Oct. 31L—Every avalilable shipwright in this city has been envaged by the naval authorities here, and orders have been given to prepare battle ships and other vessels for sea as soon as possible. Saturday the men worked all day, something un- precedented in the dock vard here. The great activity displayed is the result of messages from the home au- thorities. / The battle ship Penown, cruisers Pel- ican and Cordella, gunboat Columbine and two torpedo-boats are now here and are being fitted out as auickly as possible. So far they have not been ordered away, but instructions are hourly ‘expected. EGYPTIAN BATTALION DISPATCHED TO FASHODA LONDON, Nov. 1.—The Cairo cor- | respondent of the Daily Mail says an Egyptian battalion has been dispatched to Fashoda. LONDON, Nov. 1.—The Daily Mall publishes no news regarding England’s war preparations,. explaining that silence is due to a letter from the War Office asking it not.to publish “any- thing which might be useful to a pos- sible enemy.” “We intend to ascertain to-day,” says the Daily Mail, “from the War Office and the Admiralty exactly what kind THEETEIEII ey NICARAGUA’S CONTRACT FOR THE CANAL. MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Via Calveston, Oct. 3lL.—After four days of public discussion the Nicaraguan Congress has ap- proved of the agreement provi- sionally made between President Zelaya and the American con- tractors and engineers, E. F. Cragin and Edward Eyre, au- thorizing the construction of an interoceanic canal and empower- ing the concessionaires to nego- tlate with the Maritime Canal Company. The adoption of the clause in the agreement declar- ing that the concession to the Maritime Canal Company will terminate on October 19, 1899, was received with prolonged cheers from Congressmen and the public in the galleries. Con- gratulatory telegrams have been received from all cities in Nica- ragua. R R R P O S R P Y e of news it would be permissible to pub- lish.” The Daily Mail confirms the reports of unexampled activity at the French dock yards, notably at Toulon, where the coast forts have been experimenting with melinite shells against an old gun- boat. RS MOBILIZATION OF DEFENSE FORCES LONDON, Nov. 1.—Most of the papers here are full of alleged war prepara- tions, despite the undoubted fact that the authorities -are doing their best to discourage publication and are even denying statements that have already appeared. Yesterday (Monday) a sudden order was received at Dover for an experi- mental mobilization of the defense forces. All the heights and forts were smartly occupied in a manner giving full satisfaction. The arsenal at Woolwich is working until 11 o'clock every night, the Gov- ernment having given large orders for guns, searchlights and other naval equipment. The British Channel squad- ron has cast anchor off Gibraltar. The advice from Paris in the special dispatches this morning add little to what was already known regarding the situation at Fashoda. It is believed that Captain Baratier is_taking only verbal instructions for Major Mar- chand. The idea prevails at the French capi- tal that Count Muravieff, the Russian Foreign Minister, while there on his recent visit, promised Russiin support in reopening the whole Egyptian ques- tion and that Major Marchand will be instructed to fall back and maintain his occupation of all Bahr-el-Ghazal. i Bogre o WRECK OF A NAVAL TRAIN IN CANADA HALIFAX, N. S, Oct. 31.—The naval train wrecked near Rat Portage on the Canadian Pacific Railway left Halifax Thursday night on the arrival of the steamer Carthagenian, from Liverpool, with drafts for the British squadron. The train consisted of six colonist cars and baggage cars and carried 133 sail- ors and eleven officers. Two sailors had suffered so severely from seasick- ness they remained over at Halifax in the military hospital. The train was made up under imperial Government officers’ inspection and was being rushed to its destination in view of the Anglo-French controversy. It was a special and had the right of track, and was due to arrive at Esquimalt one MAKE-UP OF THE NE'W FRENCH CABINET Dupuy Premier and Minister of the Interior, Defreycinet Minister of War.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 31.—A ca- blegram received at the Navy Department from Bahia, Brazil, announces the arri- val there of the battle-ships Oregon and Jowa. They are nineteen days from Tompkinsville, making an exceptionally smooth and rapid run down. The coluer Barenda, now at Bahia, consumed thirty- one days in making the same trip. Be- cause of her lack of speed, she will prob- ably be allowed to return to the United States instead of going along to Honolulu, as_was intended. The battle-ships will stop at Bahia for r coal bunk- a few days, reg lenishing t! ers from the Abarenda and the Celtic, and then will proceed to Rlo, where they are to take part in the great demonstrafion there on November 15 to commemorate the flnnlversnrr of the birth of the re- public of Brazil. BULLETS AGAINST BRICKS. Two Coal Strike Leaders Shot by a Non-Unionist. WASHINGTON DEPOT, Ohio, Oct. 31.— Richard Reinmaster and Lon Ragsdale, coal strike leaders, have been shot by Austin Koster, a non-union miner, who claims that Ragsdale tried to hit him with a brick and that Reinmaster offered to hit him. He fired five shots, two tak- ing effect in Ragsdale’'s neck and one in Reinmaster's side. Koster was arrested. It is feared the affair will cause fresh trouble between the strikers and non- union men. . i S STRUCK A HURRICANE. Schooner Jennie F. Willie Wrecked in s the .West indies. NASSAU, N.

King of New York, obtained from the United States Circuit Court here an in- Junction to ...nibit the Sheriff of Logan County from selling land of his client for taxes. Judge Doolittle of the Cir- cuit Court of Logan County issued a | rule against Stiles for contempt. After hearing Stiles’ answer to the rule Judge Doolittle committed Stiles to jail to re- missed. Stiles was placed in the County Jail and an application was made to Judge | Jackson for a writ of habeas corpus, which Judge Jackson and a Deputy Marshal was Stiles before the Federal court. The Sheriff and jailer refused, under in- structions from Judge Doolittle, to de- liver the prisoner to the United States officer, and the officer, having reported to the District Attorney, Jackson was asked to issue a writ of attachment against the Sheriff and jailer, the effect issued with their prisoner before the court. requested Judge Jackson to delay the | cate with Judge Doolittle, which Judge Jackson agreed to do. If Judge Doo- little refuses to give up the prisoner an attachment will be issued, and if the United United States troops may be called on to suppress the rebellion.
