(From our Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 21st, 1898. President McKinley lias called time on Spain, so to speak. He has set a. time limit, within which "the Spanish Peace Commissioners must either accept or reject finally ami definitely, our demand for the Philippines. The exact length of this time limit is not known out side of the Cabinet, and probably half a dozen others who enjoy the President's confidence, but there are good reasons for saying that it <itoes not extend much, if any, be yond Dec. 1. The President was somewhat loath to adopt this per emptory policy, because be disliked to even appear to be taking ad vantage of our power to compel Spain so do what we pleased, but the quibbling evinced in the answers of the Spanish Commis sioners, which they took a week or more in each case to prepare, con vinced him that if they were not pulled up short, the negotiations were liable togo on indefinitely. He is simply tired of keeping this country on a war footing, and waiting for the Spaniards to agree to a formal treaty of peace. Chairman Cannon, of the House \ppropriation Committee, is de termined that there shall be no delay in getting the regular appro priation bills reported to the House, at the coming session of Congress. The appropriation made at the last .session of Congress for the support of the army only extends to Dee. ■Hlst, which makes it necessary that a. new appropriation shall be made before Congress takes its Christmas recess. I'pon information from ?.he War Department that its .stimates would be ready by that time, Mr. Cannon has called a meeting of the members of the sub : ommittee on deficiencies, of which he is Chairman, for the 20th inst., and if the estimates are not delayed ;liis liill is likely to be ready to be reported as soon as Congress assem bles. The sub-committee on the District of Columbia, will hold its first meeting Dec. 1, and the pres ent intention is to report the bill and pass it before the holidays. The House appropriation commit tee has a good record for hard and rapid work, under the guidance of Chairman Cannon, but be hopes to establish a new record at the com ing session of Congress. The first? pension of the Spanish war has been awarded to Private Jesse T. Gales, Second I . S. Ar tillery, who lost part of his upper lip and several teeth in the Cuban campaign. Under present laws §l7 a month was the most that could be allowed Gales, who is perma nently disabled and disfigured. He will be given that sum, but its in adequacy is so manifest that it is likely a bill will be passed by Con gress authorizing its increase. Admiral Dewey has notified the Navy Department that he has con tracted with a Hong Kong firm to raise three of the Spanish gun-boats sunk in Manila Hay; that the work has already been partially accom plished. and that $">00,000 will cover the entire cost of raising and putting them in complete repair. These boats are of a class that will lie especially useful to the U. S. in Philippine waters. They are named respectively, Isla de Cuba, Isla de Luzon, and Don Juan de Austria. The first two are twin ships, 200 feet long, 150 feet beam, with a draft of 11 feet 6 inches, and the other is slightly larger, 210 ft, long, :3M ft. beam, with a draft of 12 ft. G inchef. They all have torpedo tubes as well as bat teries. While it is hoped that the an nouncement of satisfactory progress by the Canadian American Com mission will shortly be followed by another that a treaty has been .agreed upon, it is known that such a result can only be obtained by a material change in the position the Canadians have heretofore taken as to what should constitute commer cial reciprocity —the real object of the Canadians in taking part in this commission. The Cnited States has always been willing to have real commercial reciprocity with Canada, as with other nations I but strongly opposed to the jug handle article which Canadians have heretofore sought. As soon as Canadians are willing to give as much as they wish to take, a treaty can be arranged. Hon. H. S. Foster, a member of the British Parliament, who is vis iting Washington, quotes President McKinlcy as having said to him during a conversation on the re lations between the United States and Great Britain, that "the feel ings of the two peoples would be fruitful for the cause of humanity and civilization," and that "the co-operation of the two countries did not depend upon paper treaties or written obligation, but upon a much deeper and more lasting basis." Representative Dalzell, of Pa., who is a member of the House Committee on Rules, was asked whether there was likely to be any currency legislation at this session of Congress, lie replied: "W hat is the need of it? We have an abundant revenue, and as long as that is the case, there is nothing the matter with our currency. 1 do not tliink there will be anything done on the subject at the coming session of Congress. There may be some currency legislation during the fifty-sixth Congress, but how broad and general it will be I can not say. Ido not think the country would suffer if there were none. The people have no question about our money as long as our revenues are all right." Secretary Long will, in his an nual report, recommend the build ing of three new battleships and twelve cruisers, and the enlistment in the Navv of twenty-thousand men and two-thousand live-hun dred boys.
