PARI8, Oct 81?The American peace
commissioners held a session of several
hours duration to-day prior to the Joint
cession of the two commissions which
opened at 4 o'clock this afternoon.
The Americans fully realize thai they
arc apprachlng the discussion of the
chief question entrusted to them,namely
the future of the Philippine islands,
and It mac be taken for granted that
they are well prepared to take the matter
up If It Is broached <o-day by the
Spaniards.
The meeting of the commissioner*
lasted an hour and flvc minutes and
was adjourned until to-morrow.
Roth the Spanish and the American
commissioners were more reticent after
this session than ewer before.
The Americana fully appreciate not
only their own serious responsibilities,
but alto the delicate position of their
Spanish colleagues, to the burden of
?1?" hpro i? nntv added thecrlt
Ileal political situation at Madrid which
may compel the President of the Spanish
commission (who Is also president
of the Spanish senate) Senor Montero
Rio#. to leave Paris.
The MAdrid correspondent of the
Temps in confirming the report that
Premier Sagasta and the Queen Regent
u,,,* <M-?vnn*d unon the minister of
war, General Correa, to Indefinitely
postpone his resignation pending the
conclusion of the peace negotiations,
?3fs that they represented to the general
that his withdrawal might entail
not only the fall of the.cabinet, but
cause the resignation of certain raemI'frs
of the Spanish commission, Including
Senor Montero Rios, and thereby
gravely compromise the Issue of the
peace negotiations
The correspondent of the Temps says:
Thejnet result Is that an open crisis
hcem's to have been avoided until the
con?!us]dn-^pf the treaty of peace^lai
any case this has done away with the
upofsitv for an ad Interim government
which was lately suggested as likely to
be the only solution of the present difficulties."
As the peace negotiations are now
rearing the discussion of the Philippine
question lite Americans feel that no
stage of the proceedings hns so demanded
their considerate treatment.
ApprnncUing the Crtala.
It may not be stated to-night with
cortainty that the Cuban question has
received its lust consideration t*y the
Americans, nor have the Spaniards ac?
cepted as ultimate the United States,
Tf?fu??i to ossume any portion of the
? Cuban debt
It may however, be affirmed that the
Philippine question was not reached
to-day, but It may be discussed at tomorrow's
session, which will be the
first occasion,during these negotiations,
of a joint session of the commission being
held on succeeding days, which fact
Is In some degree significant.
The morning papers here treat of the
fall of the French cabinet and the
scenes in the chamber of deputies yesterday
almost to the exclusion of general
news. All of them, however, dwell
briefly on the Spanish crisis or the split
In the liberal party of Spain, without,
however, direct reference to the Paris
reace commission, except In the case of
u new paper La Volant?, which. In a
Madrid article dealing with the Internal
rituation In Spain, sums up as follows;
"Whatever may be said, one way or the
other regarding the situation, one thing
Is apparent that the moment is naaiy
chosen for a ministerial crisis. When
dreadful calamities threaten Spain from
the outside and the moment when her
destinies nre being: decided by the Pari.4
conference, and at the moment when
Iter flag Js crushed at Porto Rico, the
Liberal party is In a state of chaos and
disagreement* and in the face of American
pretensions, which ore daily becoming
mor<? arrogant, Spain finds her?
if with a ministry without authority
Never hns she needed more ImperativeV
? strong government, one morn
watchful or awake to outside questions,
I ir - ,id of this miserable Internal nuarr
-!> arc distracting the attention of
t.ms- who now ought to have no other
preoccupation than the salvation of
their country."

to learn tor what purpose tbe meetini

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct 26.-8om
apprehension haa been manifested I:
certain quarter* as to the possible ad
verse cirecc upon ins yeutc wmwiwu
nt Paris of, an upheaval In France. 2
baa been suggested that tba Spanla'
cause la In aucb shape that the Spanla!
government has nothing to lose and ev
ery thing to gain by any ohange tba
can be brought about. However, I
may be stated that In the opinion o
the state department officials here ther
Is little danger ol the situation In Fart
becoming so acute aa to abandon th
work of the ccmmlssloii on the groun
that the commissioner* themselves ar
In physical danger. It la confidently be
lleved that with the change ot tbe cabl
net In France the present disorder wll
subside and normal conditions be re
stored.
It is always possible that the Span
Ish commissioners, in despair over the!
failure to force tbe Cuban debt upo
the United States In any shape, ma
break off the session* but this is no
regarded as possible. It Is suspecte
*fhe Spanish programme la to trump u
as many points of difference as posslbU
relying upon the sympathy sure to b
excited among European nations b
their abandonment of each point unde
compulsion from ttie American commli
alonera os the basis for a supreme stan
at the end on the Philippines.
This being the Spanish policy, It I
expected that when the commlsslo
takes up the subjects or rorio xtico an
the coaling station in the Ladron
islands there will be many hair-split
ting objections Interposed by the Spari
ish to any propositions from the Amerl
can commissioners, Just as many refei
ences or attempts at reference to Mad
rid. and just as loud protests over eac
little point by the Spaniards at the un
compromising attitude of*, the Amerl
cans, as in the case of Cuba.
No one knows officially Just what th
extent of the United States claim wi
be as to the Philippines. Admire
Dewey has a much higher opinion t
the Philippine people and their capoclt
for self-government than Is generall
supposed. He has represented ' to th
American commissioners that the Phi!
Ipplnes of the northern group, meanin
by that, first the people on the Inlan
of Luzon, and after that, in order, Cebt
Panay. Lelte, Mindora and Samar. ar
as a rule intelligent, practicable and (
most surprising statement) for bettc
qualified for self-government than U
inhabitant* of Cuba. Admiral Dewe
is aa familiar with the qualification# c
the Cubans In this respect as almoi
any naval ofTlcnr, having had personi
experience with the people, no that hi
statement Is bound to have weljrht wit
the American commissioners, llut wit
all this he has made no recommendo
tlon as no what should constitute tli
maximum or minimum demand of til
Americans, and their demands const
quently are likely to be based upo
their original Instructions, qualified b
any change of opinion the Preslder
may have experienced as a result of hi
western trip.

LONDON, Oct. 27.?The Madrid coi
respondent of the Standard telegraph*
Tuesday by way of the frontier an
dealing with the threatened cablnr
crisis, points out the Impossibility of
change of government, because a chanfi
would almost certainly cause the resli
nation of the Spanish commissioners 1
Paris. He says:
"Senor Sagasta. therefore will rem&l
at the helm until the treaty of peace !
signed unless General Weyler or th
. million, olamanre r?nnan 'pmlhl#
"S??nor Mooter* Rios (president of th

no hope of obtaining anything from th
Americano for the Cuban debt. He evr

The day's Jubilee programme Included
the civic parade, the pester portion of
which It was expected would be witnessed

was a heavy downpour. During the remainder

At the reception which followed there

I Someof the Cubans here consider thai
the United States 1b treating: Its alllej
badly In not allowing the Cuban force*

the Cuban soldiers who have been fighting
three years, who speak the language

The Cuban general, Macla Rodriguez,
virtually voices the sentiment of the Cuban
army when he says: "We thank the

I given \is, but the -time has now arrived
when the Cubans should be placed In th<

The almost entire freedom of the oavy

of completeness of its system and the

Th? MM War. J
The war through which we have just

c -H*4h?er touches were In the generous
humanity it aroused more than" In the
aplendldcourage it evoked. Not a trace at
personal animosity toward the foe was

Captain Evans uttered when he said of

that so long ?s the enemy flew Its flag

It was a revelation to the Spanish
prisoners when they found themselves
received la their encampment rather
i than prison at Portsmoutn wun inns- t
tian kindness, their wounds bound up i
and every want provided for! The les- t
son has not been lost on the civilisation ?
i of the time when Cervera, returning: to t
tils seat in the Spanish senate proclaims
the humanity of America and
suggests to Spain that she benefit by
our example, waken from her bondage c
to old limitations and follow the lead of d
American enterprise and American In- c
stitutlons. j

of our territory the new duties that are c
' on us and the enlarged importance of e
| our sea power, the Increase In naval J
i force should go on. But I am not one J
of those who would have Ilextravsgant- a
, ly expanded and I would prefer a rea.
sonable Increase commensurate with the '
Increased need. Too rapid a develop- J
ment will 'surely* lead to a' reaction In c
! the popular tnind and a tendency to iae v
extreme aa happened after the war of *
the Union. Nor must ?ve forget that
the Increase of the armr and navy is
necessarilr attended with a very treat j
. Increase in expenditure and therefore t
I In taxation and that In the seal of the c
. present moment we must stand upon j
I the old fundamental principle that un- {
der no circumstances should this be- c
. como a country where the military arm t
; la a burden instead of a defense and *
that the military establishment must J
; be aubordlnate by a long Interval to t
. the educational and the Industrial. d
If ever there was a man who loved
t his country a servant of the public

t and who was guided by a prayerful
sense of accountability to God and fel;
low men, It Is President McKlnlef. (

recall not one occasion when in the dls- t
cushion there was any question, one '
word has been uttered with regavd to c
