Meanwhile Madrid’s Protest Is Ig- nored and the Battleship Squadron Continues on Its Way to Manila. Bpecial Dispatch” to The -Call. NEW YORK, Nov. L—The Herald's ‘Washington correspondent -telegraphs: Through Rios and his assoclates Spain will present on Friday te the American Peace Commissiori a direct refusal ‘of | the proposition made by 'Mr. Day ‘to cede the Philippine - Isiands .to .the United States, and will ask for the sub- mission of a substitute proposal.. This, it is believed in well-informed - diplo- matic circles here, will be the first fea- ture of the Spanish programme- in. the | negotiations respecting -the disposition | of the far astern fsland. By this move Spain wil delay-the pre- sentation of the second proposition un:.| til the following Monday; and-by the time of the next sitting the elections in the United States will be over, and if.| they. should show opposition to the ex- pansion policy of the administration, the Spaniards will maintain a firmer stand against -the. -demands of the American . commissioners . with. seme | hope of securing material modifications. | There 18 no expectation either in ad-| ministration or diplomatic circles .that the Spanish commisioners will® with- | draw. | Spain’s protest against the.dispatch | of the battleship squadron to. Manila | has availed ‘her nothing. Secretary Hay hasinformed the Spanish authori- ties that the Oregon and Iowa are now in Brazilian waters and their destina- tion after leaving Rio de Janeiro will be the Sandwich Islands. The’ Seere- tary does not enter into any discussion of the charge -made by the. Spanish Minister that the protocol of August 12 has been violated, 'but simply' states facts in connection with-the voyage of battleships, and the - matter. rests | re ficially, however, it is.admitted | that the ships. wilt proceed fo Manila and instructions to this effect await them at ‘Honelulu: ot content with endeavoring to.ob- | tain a_statement from the American | Peace Commissioners in-Paris that.the | United States :proposed to annex Cuba the Spanish Gavernment has attempted | to: secure a declaration to this effect | direct from the Secretary. of State. . I understand that recently & communica- tion' was received at the State Depart- ment from -the French Embagsy in- | closing & note from the- Spanish Min-{ ister' “of . Foreign Affairs asking the United States to announde .its inten- tions with respect to Cuba.- Secretary | H after the American commission- ers in Paris have disclaimeéd any. posi- tion or intention on the part of the United States to . exercise sovereign.t jurisdi¢tion or control. over the island except for paeification has sent a com- munication to the Spanish: Government through the embassy .that the Ameri- can commissioners having: the matter | in charge will answer -the- questions| which it has asked, and the matter has been referred to Paris. The Cabinet to-day. devoted most of its attention to the consideration. of s in connection - with the -ad-'| ministration - of affairs in Cuba:and | Porto Rico. The administrative feature | of the Philippiné question also recelved some - attention. Nothing has been | heard from the commission at Paris as | to yesterday's proceedings, and it is realized that nothing is to be -expected in the way of developments until Fri- day's session. HOAR SPEAKS AGAINST TERRITORIAL - EXPANSION | WORCESTER, Mass., Nov. 1.—Sena- tor- Hoar in a public address to-night, after making reference to local jssues In the campaign, said: This year has beeri crowded with - his- tory and crowded with glory. It is also, to my mind, crowded with danger. The flag of Spain, formerly the proudest power on earth since the day of the Roman, has one down I darkness and in blood be- ore the victorfous navy and army of | the United States. The flag of the United Btates has arisen In the eastern sky like a-new constellation. Let.us not accept | the duties and responsibilities of this vic- tory in any temper of vulgar vainglory, still less of a vulgar greed of power and gain. The United States comes to these oppressed people, east and west, as a great deliverer. To deal with this great occasion by talking about coaling sta- tions and trade advantages degrades and belittles it. We have not overthrown Bpain, we have not Eerlled the precious lives ‘of our sons that we may add to our possessions, or that we may make money out of our new relations. But yet the first duty of the American people is to themselves, and when I say this I say it in no spirit of selfishness or of indifference to the welfare of man- kind. On the contrary, I believe that the highest sérvice the American people can render to mankind and to liberty is to preserve unstained and unchanged the republic as It came to us from the fath- ers. It is by example and not by guns oF by bayonets that the. grest work of | Americans for humanity is to be accom- | ki lished. And in my opinion we are to-day n a great danger—a greater danger than we have encountered since the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth. The danger Is that we are to be transformed from a republic founded on the declaration of {ndepend- erice, guided by the counsels of- Wash- ington, into a vulgar. commonplace em- pire founded upon physical force. I for one am not dazzled by the example of England. The institutions of England which have enabled her to govern suc-| cessfully distant colonles and subject | Btates are founded, as Mr. Gladstone peinted out, on the'doctrine of equality. e are to outstrip England in national er it must be by pursulng our own in hers. ico 18 already ath and not by followin; is _satd It that Porto purs.

It has no place in th:ncgsgsg( morals of the people of the United States. 1 have stated elsewhere the sonditimes which, in my judgment, warranted the ac- quisticn of Hawall. Hawail came to g with the consent of her own Government the only government capable of majntain- ing itself there for any considerable length of time. In the case of the Philip- pines we are asked to subject & nation and to hold it In -ubfectlon. We got them by conquest and hold them by force, In | the men hurt: the case of the Hawailan Islands we get them by compact made with their lawful Government. Some of our good friends have sald thoughtlessly in their zeal that where the American flag goes it must stay. But surely they cannot wish to commit the country to that doctrine. We planted it in the city of Mexico, but no man de- manded that it should stay there. If the war goes on we shall plant it on the coast of Spain, but we have no desire to hold permanent dominion there. If the Philippine Islands become ours, then under the late decision of the Su- reme Court every child hereafter born n them becomes an American citizen, free to come and free to go. Are you going to hold them as subjects? Are you going to have a trained and Eovemlng class? Are you going to have the national tax gath- erer the most frequent and the best known visitant to every American house? Are you going to increase many fold your national debt? These things are involved in this_wild and impassioned cry for em- pire. For myself, Y disbelieve and hate the notion that the American people are to submit to such a transformation. —_— MINERAL RESOURCES OF THE PHILIPPINES WASHINGTON, Nov. 1—Admiral Dewey has forwarded to the Navy De- partment & memorandum on mineral resources of the Philippines, prepared at the admiral’s request by Prof. G. F. Becker of the United States Geological Survey. Professor Becker magde con- giderable researches and consulted all the available authorities. Only about a score of the several hundred islands, he says, are known to contain deposits of valuable minerals. He: inciudes a table showing the mineral-bearing is- Jands and their resources.. This table is as follows:’ ey Luzon—Coal, gold, copper; lead, ironm, sulphur, marble, kaolin. Cataanduanes, Sibyuan, Bohol Panaoan—Gold-only. Marimduque--Lead and silver. Mindoro—Coal; gold and copper. Carraraybatan, Rapu Rapu, Semarara, Negros—Coal only. Masbete—Coal and copper. Romblon—Marble. ¥ Bamar—Coal and gold. Panay—Coal, oll, gas, and.perhaps mercury.' . Biliriam—Sulphur only. o Teyte—Coal, ofl and perhaps mercury. Cebu—Coal, oll, “gas, gold, lead, silver and | "gold, copper, iron and iron. Mindanao—Cosl, gold, .copper and platinum. Sulu Archipelago—Pearls. Of the coal, Mr.- Becker says that it is analogous to- the Japanese coal and that - of -~ Washington, ~but not to Welsh or Pennsylvania céal. It might better be characterized as a highly car- bonized lignite, Iikely to contain such sulphur as iron pyrites, rendering it apt to spontaneous combustion and in- jurious -to boller plates. Nevertheless, he says, when pyrites seams are avold- ed ‘and the.lignite is properly handled, it forms a valuable fuel, especlally for local consumption. OPERATIONS -OF THE RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE Interesting Annual © Report Sub- mitted by the General Su- perintendent. WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.—The annual re- port of the general superintendent of the allway mail service shows that at the | close of the year there were 8074 clerks employed and that, with the closed pouch and express pouch service, the grand total of miles traveled in the service was 285,665,343, Matter so illegibly addressed as to re- quire special attention before delivery could be effected, or which could not be | delivered at all, amounted to 13,500,000 | pleces ‘for the Vvear, 1,655,000 pleces of which were returned to writers or cor- rected and forwarded;. the rest bein turned into the dead letter office for dls-’ position. The general superintendent deplores the fact that the number of casualties last year exceeded the record of any previous year, though the amount of fatallties was | not so great. There were 5% casualties, in wmcg. seven clerks were killed, lhh’i‘- four seriously injured and 146 slightly. It {s urged that-some provision be made by €ongress for the relief of the families of the clerks killed while on duty and for the creation of a railway mall service re- lief fund for the benefit of mall clerks go(ally disabled or injured in the line of uty. It is estimated that $8,982.118 will be re- quired for . salaries of railroad postal clerks for the year ending June 30, 1900, and $4,204,500 for rallway postoffice ca exclusive of subsld{fid lines.

FRANCE HATES ENGLAND WORSE THAN GERMANY But Will Relinquish Fashoda. COMPENSATION NOT ASKED HUMILIATION CAUSES BITTER- NESS AGAINST BRITONS. Notwithstanding the Backdown as to the Nile Valley, Great Britain Continues to Push Naval ‘War Preparations. Special Dispatch to The Call. LONDON, Nov. 2—The Paris corre- spondent of the Daily Mall says: France will. retire from Fashoda un- conditionally and without asking com- pensation. Baron de Courcel, whose term as French Embassador in London expired long ago, but who has held on to con- duct negotiations affecting Egypt, will not be recalled and no haste will be shown to appoint his successor, with a view of showing French resentment at British action, for England has almost taken the place of Germany as the ob- ject of French hatred. The Paris correspondent of the Times says: Baron de Courcel gathered from & conversation had after the last Brit- ish Cabinet- council that Lord Salis- bury’s attitude had undergone a change, the British Premier insisting that it was impossible to disregard public opinion in England and that nothing, could be dome until Fashoda was evacuated. So far as French pub- lic opinion is concerned there is not the slightest idea of going to war for Fa- shoda and any government doing so would be regarded as a government of imbectles. The Daily Graphic says this morn- ing: “We learn from an official source in Paris that Captain Baratler bears instructions to Major Marchand to re- turn to Fashoda and then to withdraw | his expedition in the direction of the Upper Ubanghi River, north of the Congo, evacuating Fashoda and the five posts established by him east of the frontier indicated in the Anglo-German agreement. : “The Egyptian Government will be invited to send troops to accompany Major Marchand as he retires from the Bahr-el-Ghazal territory and to re- occupy the posts as they are evacu- ated by the French officers, thus solv- ing the difficulty concerning Major Marchand’s revictualment. ““When Major Marchand’s retirement is fully accomplished, negotiations based on proposals submitted by Baron de Courcel to Great Britaln will be opened. France 'is disposed to recog- nize frankly that the reconquest of Omdurman completely changes the sit- uation as it existed when Major March- and was Instructed to proceed to the Nile. The French Government will even state that, had Major Marchand been aware of the Khedival advance, he would not have pushed his mission 8o far east. 3 “These intentions have not yet been officially imparted to Great Britain, but they probably will be before Major Marchand’s evacuation commences.” FRANCE DECIDES TO RECALL MARCHAND LONDON, Nov. *1.—Willlam Hayes Fisher, one of the Junior Lords of the Treasury, member of Parliament for Fulham, and a ministerial whip, speaking in London this evening, sald he had seen dispatches which enabled him to assert that the French Govern- mént has-decided to recall the March- and mission from Fashoda. ENGLAND’S WARLIKE ACTIVITY IN AMERICA HALIFAX, N. ., Nov. 1.—Not since the Trent affair has such actlvity been dis- played in military and naval circles here. After the order had been received toshave the battleship Renown put in thorough repair an order was received, the purport of - which was not known until this morning, when elght large teams and about 200 men, including sallors and marines, were put to work transferring powder, ammunitiom and small arms of every description from the magazines at the dockyards to the distributing shed andt thence to the several warships in port. The work continued all day. Nov. 1.—The flfig!hls squadron is expecte to sail to-morrow, following the Amphion southward. A rush brder of forty tons of provisions was placed with one of the leading merchants to-day, and the goods are being placed aboard rapidly. The Imperieuse will sail under sealed or- ders not to be opened till out of sight of land. The Amphion took on board one of the fastest torpedo boats op the station, and the Leander, now In“the drydock, has also taken one aboard. This Is the first time this has' been done in three years. When the Leander comes out of the drydock it is believed she will also go south. The torpedo destroyer Spar- rowhawk, a long time out of commission, will be recommissioned at once. The tor- pedo destroyer Virago was provisioned and coaled this morning, and it is thought will s.ccnmpan?' the flagship. The sloop of war Icarus is walting and a new crew is expected to arrive in a day or two. The Pheasant will remain here. FRANCE’S NEW CABINET CONSIDERS FASHODA PARIS, Nov. 1.—Pr-sident Faure this evening signed the decree constituting the Cabinet formed by M. Dupuy. M. Dupuy had a long conference with his colleagues this afternoon and dis- cussed domestic and foreign questions. The Ministers reached a complete ac- cord regarding the past attitude of M. del Cassa, the Foreign Minister, towal the Fashoda question and as to the pol- fcy he proposed for the future. They approved also the taxation reform pro- posal of M. Peytral, Minister of Fi- nance. It was agreed that the . Ministerial statement of policy on the reassem- bling of Parliament should declare that the present constitution of the Cabi- net was meant to mark a further stage on the complete union of the republican party, and should promise the intro- duction of progressive measures, as, for Lx’xlsltance, old age pensions and similar S, As regards the Dreyfus question, the Cabinet bows to the decision of the Court of Cassation and will ald the work of justice. e ——— WARLIKE ACTIVITY ‘OF BOTH NATIONS LONDON, Nov. 2—The war office has 3 £ which it says it does not object to the papers announ: military and naval preparations in general terms, but points out that it would bf “‘unpatriotic to publish specific details’that might be useful to a possible foe.” There is no noticeable cessation in England’s preparations, and the offi- clals are .confident, of the country's ability to meet all emergencies. . There were large shipments of guns, shells and war stores to Malta and Gibraltar “yesterday. - The dispatches from France announce equal actlvity at Toulon, Brest, Mar- seilles and elsewhere. The Rome correspondent of the Dally Chronicle says: “France is making preparations at Bizorta, about forty miles northwest of Tunis. Guns and ammunition arrive daily, and men are strengthening the forts, working day and night. The object is said to cut communication between Malta and Egypt in the event of hostilities with Great Britain. . BOTTLE OF POISON " INCORRECTLY ' LABELED Kern City.

L—A special to the Globe from Gloucester, Mass., says: The past season has been very severe on the fishing fleet. The reckoning for the year is fourteen vessels a total loss, eighty-two men drowned, twenty-three wives widows and fifty-five children made orphans. The total losses will approximate $170,000. The terrible gales which raged on - the banks during October, 1897, are undoubt- edly responsible for the losses of three vessels and their entire crews, while the serles of gales which Ere\'alled during the winter also sealed the fate of many a Gloucester fisherman, st A UTES SLAUGHTERING DEER IN COLORADO Company of Soldiers Will Be Sent to Get Them Back to Their Reservation.

MADE HERSELF VBT OFFERING Awful Case of Self- Immolation. WAS A CATHOLIC AND MARRIED A HEBREW. Crazed by Her Friends’ Reproaches, She Poured Coal Oil on Her Clothing and Then Ig- nited It Bpecial Dispaich to The Call. ' NEW YORK, Nov. 1.—For the faith of her fathers and the distorted image of There was. in-her act the blind zeal of a Christian fanatic and the Horrid rites Be- lieving that she had outraged her relig- fon by marrying one of another faith she, while her little children looked on, lighted her clothing and made herself a burnt offering to appease the judg- ment she fegred. Even while she pre- pared for the sacrifice by pduring oil on her .gown to feed the flames she muttered formulas of her religion and fingered her string of beads, telling off her last prayers before she should seck rest in the flames from the terror of her doom after death. She was yoked with an unbeliever, and not all the kindness of her hus- band, the comfort of a good home and prattle of her children gould redeem the fact “to her mind. She was married | more than five years ago, when she was |a Catholic. No one was more devoted { to her faith in outward ceremony and inward conviction. But even this | deep rooted reverence for her religion | vielded when her heart was concerned. Charles Munday, a Hebrew, met and loved and pressed his suit in defiance of the unsmiling faces of her family and her friends’ plain disapproval ‘When she was alone they pleaded with | her to forsake her sweetheart, but she | would not listen. 8he saw no sin In giving her heart to an honest man, though he was beyond the pale of the church, ‘8o she was married to him. After the marriage the attitude of her friends did not change, nor did they cease to impress upon her at every op- portunity that she had wronged her church by wedding one whom her faith placed in outer darkness. She brooded over these matters, and at times she spoke of expiating her error and win- ning absolution, but they paid little at- tentlon to these vague threatenings. Mrs. Munday for the last few days had been more silent than usual, and had spent much time kneeling before her little_shrine and counting over her beads. When her husband had gone to- day to business she seated herself in her ropm and called her little ones around her. While they stood there in awed sllence she fingered her beads swiftly and muttered prayers with her | eyes closed. Then she gave the eldest child some money and sent her to a store for some kerosene. When the child returned her mother was still | seated, whispering her prayers with dry lips. She took the oil and poured it over her gown, as though anointing herself for a sacrifice.” The children looked on in silence with wide-opened eyes. 8till praying in broken whispers, the woman saturated her skirts with the oil. Then she struck a match and touched it to the hem of her dress. Instantly the flames leaped up and the children fled screaming. The mother, the beads slip- ping swiftly through her fingers, still prayed as the fire licked up toward her face. In the scorching flames the fa- natic’'s zeal was swept away. and the broken words of prayer turned to shrieks of anguish. When neighbors re- sponded to her cries-and had succeeded in extinguishing the flames, there was little left of the image of a woman in the sufferer, but she was carried to a hospital where the doctors said there was no hope that she would recover. RECESS OF TEN DAYS. Unavoidable Absence of Canadien Commissioners.

They Cure Stomach Troubles and Indi- gestion Anyway, Whether You Have Falth In Them or Not. Mere faith will not digest your food for you, will not give an appetite, will not increase your flesh and strengthen your nerves and heart, but Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will do these things, because they are composed of the ele- ments of digestion, they contain the juices, acids and peptones necessary to the digestion and assimilation of all wholesome food.
