According to Dr. Connor, the accu- mulation of papers and documents in the possession of the commission would fill a large-sized room. Dr. G. A.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Nov. 8 — The main question now before Gene Leon- ard Wood, Governor of the military dis- trict of Santlago, is not pollitical. It is the question of water, which is a serious problem. The rainy season is about over and usu after a month or so of dry weather, - has to be brought from the mountains and sold in the streets. General Wood is anxious to avold a repe- tition of such conditions, and has engaged the services of three expert engineers.to report as to the best method of supplying the city with water, whether with artesian wells or otherwise. Matamore, a colonel in the Insurgent army, and formerly a bandit, objecting | to the hum-drum ways of peace, recently took to the hills with twenty men and is now carrying on his old vocation, robbin plantations ‘and farms ‘of caftle and | Lors holding people up and setting in | ev ay a bad example. General Wood | ermined to suppress Matamore, and a part of the gendarmerie is now ready, armed, to do the work. To-day twen men, under command of a lieutenant, left for the locality in which Matamore and his_companions are staving, avith orders to bring them all in dead of alive. The neral opinion here is that if Matamore not suppressed he will soon have be- tween one and two hundred recruits, but now that the purpose of the authorities is known it is not expected that many will join him.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 8.—The German ol tank steamer Standard, which has ar- rived here, brings Andres Anderson, a sailor, who was rescued at sea October 19 from the wrecked Norwegian bark Sig- rid. The rescue by a boat's crew from the Standard was a thrilling and gallant one, and was accomplished after one boat had been dashed to pieces against the side of the steamer and a number oi dar- ing attempts had been made to reach the ked bark. Finally Anderson was a rope, which he fastened about and then jumped into the sea. e was' dragged into the boat in an uncon- scious condition. Anderson says the remainder of the crew had been taken off the bark by an unknown vessel. He had evidently been forgotten, for the crew falled to come back to rescue him. The derelict was left in latitude 5.43 north, longitude 0.43 east, nearly submerged. NICHOLAS IS SINCERE IN WISHING FOR PEACE Editor Stead Convinced That the Czar Really Seeks a General Dis- armament. LONDON, Nov. 8.—Willlam T. Stead, writing to the Daily News from Sebas- topol, after an interview with the Czar at Livadia, relterates his conviction of the earnestness and sincerity of the Czar’s purpese in proposing disarmament. Mr. Stead says it is impossible to repeat the conversation, but he adds: “But my opinion is summed up in a remark which I made to a Princess of the court, who, meeting me as I was leaving, asked me: ‘Well, what is your opinion?’ “I replied simply: ‘I thank God for him. he is spared to Russia that young man will go far.” " Mr. Stead adds that he found the Czar possessed of exceptional rapidity of perception, united with a remarkable memory and a very wide grasp of an im- mense range of facts. e —— ECCENTRIC HERMIT'S REMARKABLE WILL Divides Yearly Interest on $50,000 Among One Hundred Little Girl Waifs.

CONCERTED WOVE OF BONDHOLDERS It Embarrasses Peace Negotiations. OF MANY MILLIONS CLAIMS UNCLE SAM CALLED UPON TO LIQUIDATE. French Embassy Submits a Formid- able Array of Figures to the State Department at Washington. Peace Commissioners had formulated an answer to Spain’s voluminous pre- sentment of Friday last, but the work to be finished before 2 p. m. to-day, the time fixed for the meeting of the joint commissions. This fact was com- municated at noon to-day to the Span- | lards, with a request that the meeting occur at 4 o'clock to-dav. This re- | quest, however, was declined by the Spaniards on the ground that they had to-day. Consequently the meeting of | 2 o’clock to-morrow. The Gaulois this morning, referring to to-day’s sitting of the Peace Com- mission, says it will in no way modify the Spanish-American situation, “as the American Commissioners have or- ders to await further instructions from Washington.” The Gaulois says these instructions will depend upon the result of the elec- tions, which, the paper mentioned thinks, will be favorable to the Repub- licans. The Gaulois continues: “The Gov- ernment will eventually recognize that pecuniary compensation is due to Spain for the evacuation of the Philippine Islands and the ne- gotiations will continue and be brought to a satisfactory conclusion in a friend- ly spirit.” WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—The advices that have come to hand so far from the commission at Paris are said to be rather encouraging than the reverse, and there is a disposition here to agree to' the statement, rather cautlously made by the Spanish Cabinet yester- day, that there will be three or four more meetings of the joint commission. This is taken as an indication that the Spaniards themselves are not léoking for a break in the negotiations, but they rather expect a peaceful conclu- sion in a short time. The foreign bondholders have at last moved formally to protect their inter- ests in Cuba and Porto Rico. The ini- | agency of the French Embassy, which in this case acts no longer as the rep- resentative of the Spanish Government, but for French subjects. Through the Embassy a most formidable statement has been presented to the State De- partment, being an account of the va- rious Spanish bonds owned by French citizens chargeable against the territo- | ries either seized or set free by the act of the United States Government. The sum total of these bonds runs up far into the millions. Just what it is expected shall be done with them is not clear. The United States Government, of course, will not pay them, but it may be that the French Government looks to it to cause the independent government of Cuba to assume liability for the redemption of the bonds charged against that is- land when that government shall have been duly installed by the act of the United States Government. It i{s prob- able that other holders of like bonds, German and British, will take similar steps to have their claims brought through their diplomatic representa- tives to the attention of the United States Government, and it may be even that the holders of such bonds in Spain, though Spanish citizens, will take a like course, which would present a novel claim upon the generosity of the United States Government.

CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE BRITISH PUBLIC SENTIMENT AGGRESSIVE. Germany Friendly, Russia Absorbed in Other Matters, and France Alone Remains ir Opposition. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Nov. 8.—A epecial cable to the Commercial Advertiser from London says: The rumor that England will soon declare a protectorate over Egypt is notably persistent here and on the continent. An influential part of the Cabinet favors the declaration. British newspapers are passing from hints of it to open advocacy, and pub- lic opinion is generally encouraging. The international situation is also fa- vorable, with Germany friendly and Russia absorbed in other matters, leav- ing only France to oppose the plan. I hear that the German Government is checking obstreperous comment on the Philippines. The German aim now is the acquisition of any of the remaind- ers, with the approval of England and America, after the Paris negotiations are concluded.

They applied for help at the Cuban Junta, but ‘Wel?e turned away with the reply that no funds were available for them. The situation of these men is peculiar.
