Ny , .1 -M 1 I III II -(II - f SPAIN MAKES AN ANSWER Tlie Arguments Against Ceding Philippines Are Repeated. HER GREAT ASSURANCE Insists on the Right to Make Her Own Terms An Adjournment of the Peace Conference in Paris Until Saturday Wo Discussion To day The Administration Not Dis turbed. Purls", Nov. 1C The Spanish com missioners, at tho joint session this afternoon, presented a. long document in answer to tho American argument which was submitted last night. By mutual consent tho memorandum of tu- day was handed to the Americans with out being read and the meeting ad journed to Saturday next. The Span ish communication will be translated this evening and Its contents will be discussed by the United States com missioners tomorrow at their usual dally session. The Spaniards in their communica tion today realllrmed the position which they liavo assumed against the dis cussion hero of Spain's Philippine sov ereignty. They insist that the words "shall determine the control, dispos ition and government of tho Philip pines," in article 3 of tho peace pro tocol, are not construablo an meaning Spain's withdrawal from the Philip pines', excent on her own terms, and therefore tho Spaniards propose arbi tration on the construction to be placed on the words, tho "control, disposition and government." Today's session lasted from 2.15 p. m, to "1 p. m. The Journal says of tho tcaco ne gotiations: "We think that tho ex travagant exactions1 of the United States have made discussion almost Impossible between tliat country and Spain. Nothing hut submission on Spain's part seems possible, as the ru mored Intervention of the Oormau em peror is a myth. Spain should recon cile herself to tho inevitable and sot herself about preparing for future struggles." Madrid, Nov. 10. The minister nt foreign affairs, Duke Almodovar do lllo, has received despatches from tho Spanish pcacp commissioners in Paris, indicating that today's meeting of tho joint commissions is not to bo the last one to bo held. Tho Spanish commissioners, it is re ported, havo received additional in structions to defend Spain's rights in tin' Philippine Islands. The minister of marine, Senor Aunon, and tho minister of foreign affairs havo conferred on the subject of Emperor William's visit to Spain. Tho Spanish government has been ndvised that Emperor 'William of Ger ii, any will arrive at Port Million, Island of Minorca, on Friday, and that he will reach Cathagena on Saturday and Cadiz on Sunday. Ills majesty will obhervo the strictest incognito, no lien ors will be rendered him and tho forts and the German warships will merely exchange the usual naval salutes. The Spanish authorities will not board tho imperial yacht llohenzol lern. Tho newspapers discuss the Carllst agitation, but express belief that the followers of Don Carlos will not issue n revolutionary manifesto. Washington, Nov. 10. It Is believed that tho procedure of tho peace con ferees in Paris this morning Is strictly in line with the expected course, und that the result of the Spanish commis sioners' consultation with the author ities at Madrid will not be an aban donment of negotiations. In fact the meeting today, it Is believed, will lead to a better understanding between tho American and Spanish representatives. CASE OF TEMPLE.

Chicago, Nov. 1C (Most of today's sesnlon of the Knights of Labor con vention was devoted to the reports of committees and that of aencrnl Mus ter Workman Hicks. The report of the executive committee said in part: "It seems next to Impossible to se cure the passage by congress of a prop er measure to regulate Immigration to our Bhores. The Influence of foreign steamship companies appears to be all powerful to prevent any such legisla tion. Tho Judiciary, with a few honorable exceptions, ore merely the hirelings of labor oppressors, and legislation is ne cessary to reconstruct the courts. In junctions, Imprisonment, bayonets and bullets are awaiting the men who take any decided stand against tho en croachments of capital." General Master Workman Hicks In hla annuul report took strong grounds In opposition to the nntl-expanslon pol icy of President Compels, of tho Amer ican Federation of Labor. "No part of the territory where our nation's blood was lost or the Hag raised," said Mr. Hicks, "should un der any pretext bo allowed to go out of our possession. Still, we should not, under the guise of humanity, either take for our own or turn back to Spain any portion of the scenes of our various battles, but make them all free and independent. Let us not fear the importation of their cheap labor, but rather let us educate them to our standard."

CROSS COMMITS SUICIDE. Speculation Is Said to Have Led to His Downfall The Hank's State ment Had Been Had for Some Time Past. Emporia, Kan., Nov. 16. This ufter noon tho First National bank of Em poria was closed by order of the comp troller of the treasury. An hour later Charles S. Cross, the bank's president, and one of the best known breeders cf Hereford In the West, shot and killed himself ut "Sunny Slope," his famous stock farm, near town. Speculation is said to have led to Cross' I'owiifall. Ills foitune has doubtless gone down with the bank. Among tho heavy losers by tho failure nro Lyon county nnd the city of Em poria. AH the city and county funds were deposited in the Institution. Cross was custodian of his father's estate, which Is a'so said to be in a wrecked condition. Cross' ending was tragic. To the ma jority of tho people of the town, the comptroller's card In the doors of tho bank came as a surprise, but In finan cial circles both here and In the state the result has been anticipated for six months. Examiner Charles .Tobez. who closed the bank on order from the comptroller, has been going over Its books with the aid of President Cross for tlie past week. No signs of mental agitation on tho part of the bank pres ident has been displayed, and when Cross left tho bank today ten minutes before It closed, he seemed no differ ent than usual. Ho went Immediately to Sunny Slope farm, and, speaking plen.santly to tho employes, passed Into tho bedroom of Manager Evans' house. When he did not come out Evans en tered tho room. Ho found Cross lying In a pool of blood with a pistol in his hand. One shot had been 11 red, and it went through the back of the head. Death must have been instantaneous. The news of the suicide was mi the streets of Kmporla a few minutes af ter the white card appeared upon the door and created a most Intense sensa tion. The bank's statement has been grow ing bad, flrft causing comment Inst May. The statement Issued on Septem ber 20 last did not materially improve. Small withdrawals of deposits result ed, but most of the business men kept faith in the bank, and no to eleven o'clock today heavy deposits were made. The last statment showed liabilities, capital, $100,000; surplus and profits, $101,2S!.r3: due to depositors, banks and bankers, $313,599.-J2: circulation, $22,000; total resources, $737,SSS.0r. Examiner Jobez has been wrestling with the problem of the assets for a week and It Is authentically reported that he had found them badly shrunk en. To a reporter he said: "While 1 do not know exactly what the out come of this matter may be, still I think I am justified In saying that the depositors will not suffer seriously. Yet when a thing like this occurs It lops of 25 per cent, of the assets of the bank nt one blow. William Martlndale, vice-president of tho bank, has been regarded by com mon content for a number of years as one of tho solldest men in Kansas. Cross was the oldest son of the Colonel Harrison C. Cross, who died a few years ago, and who was believed to havo been worth several hundred thuuiund dollars at tho time of his death. Cross leaves a widow and a daugh ter. His first wife was Miss Kato Smecd, daughter of a former presi dent of the Union- Pacific railway. They were divorced In the '70's, BARNES-M'GOWAN AFFAIR.

It Is Decided That Wllkes-Barre Is Geographically Outside of the Cir cuit. New York, Nov. 10. Representatives of tho Eastern base ball league held a special meeting here today to discuss the postponed substitution of Troy, Al bany or Hamilton, Ont., for Wllkes Barro in the league circuit. The meet ing was preliminary to the annual meeting two weeks hence. President Powers said before the meeting, which was held behind closed doors, that there was tho kindest feel ing among the league owners for the Wilkes-liarre owners, but that the city was geographically outside the East ern circuit, and as It had an oppor tunity to enter the Atlantic league tho other owners felt disposed to substi tute another club not so far away. There was a conference before tho meeting began between representatives of Montreal and Rochester and rela tive to the franchise of the latter flub, which franchise was taken up, togeth er with financial losses, by the former club under a two years' agreement, which now expires. The differences between the two elubs wore discussed In secret, but It was said that the sentiment of the meeting was to let the two clubs light out their troubles among themselves. It developed that there Is consider able friction betwe mi the Wilkes-Barre association anil the other members of the league. Legal counsel attempted to attend the meeting to represent the V.'llkes-Haw association. This was objected to by the members of the league and the lawyer wis ordered out of tho room -mil withdrew. The Y Ilkes-Uarre delegates protested but without avail. Mr. Stogmalor, of Wilkes-fiarro, served notice on Presi dent Powers protesting against the meeting, claiming it had been Illegal ly called, since his club had not been properly notified. The case may come before the annu al meeting of the league on the first Wednesday of Dcunber. Ottowa, be cause of its geographical position, oc cupies n position similar to that of Vllls-l!sirr Ottawa, however, Is said to be willing to withdraw peace ably, and will soon do so. No new teams were admitted to the league today. Applications from Ham ilton, Vtlea. Troy nnd Albanv wr filed. It 1 certain that some of these cities will be admitted during tho win ter Ther? is some talk of Buffalo with drawing from tho Eastern league, but the subject was not considered at to day's session. UPRISING IN SALVADOR. It Is Reported to Be an Unimportant Affair. Washington, Nov, 10. Penor Corea, the diplomatic representative of the United States of Central America, says the reported uprising in Salva dor, which Is a part of this new union, Is nn unimportant affair and will be quickly crushed by the federal forces if it amountc to enough to call them into use. He received a despatch yes terday from governor, formerly presi dent JCelaya, of Nicaragua, on current affairs but It made no mention of tho uprising. Mr. Corea says It Is un doubtedly due to a wish on tho part of a small element to discredit the new republic of the United States of Cen tral America, which came Into exlst enco on the first of this month, but ho is sure It will fall as the three coun tries foimlng the union are alike inter ested in putting down these local up risings. The new constitution provides that the military forces of all the states shall be available in suppressing dis order In any of them. It Is understood that n vessel Is ready to proofed from N'lcnragua with 500 federal troops to tho point of the uprising, which Mr. Corea asserts will prove to be less of a demonstration than the recent race riots in tlie Carollnas.

The Statements at Manchester Re garded as Indicating Great Brit ain's Desire to Settle All Ques tions Pending While She Is iu a State of Preparedness Satisfac tion at New Foundland. Paris, Nov. 10. Tho speech of Joseph Chamberlain, British secretary of stats lor thu colonies, at Manchester yes terday, has had a disquieting effect upon French oftlclal circles, where it had been expected that the evacuation of Fnshoda would satisfy Great Rti taln. Mr. Chamberlain's statements are re garded here as Indicating Great Brit ain's desire to discuss and settle all questions pending, while she Is in a state of preparedness to exert pressuro In support of her views. High ofllcials suggest that the result of tho British attitude may bo a close understanding between France and Germany on colonial matters. They say such an understanding would meet with the support of Jlus-dti, would find indent adherents among French olll cers nnd would bo welcomed by tho Flench nation at large. The Solr says; "M. Lockroy (min ister of marine) may be compelled to resign owing to his attitude, which is antagonistic to that of his colleagues In the cabinet, regarding the proposed prosecution of I'rbaln Gohier, author of "L'Armeo Centre La Nation," which attacks the present army system In France. It appears that M. Lockroy, before entering the cabinet had con gratulated M Gohier on the book and that this explains his present attitude of reserve." The Soir says also: "The national de- feiiw grout. In the chamber met to- j day and Instructed their executive com mittee to interview M. Delcase( min ister of foreign affairs) with regard to Mr. Chamberlain's speech. It was also decldpd to propose as the order of the dav in the chamber on Friday a resolution pledging the government to assure the elllclency of the national defensA AT NEWFOUNDLAND. St. John's. Newfoundland, Nov. 10. The speech of Joseph Chamberlain, British secretarv of state for the col onies, before the National Liberal Un ionists conference at Manchester, Eng land, yesterday, in the eour-v of which ho condemned the French policy In Newfoundland along the treaty shore, gives 'jenoral satisfaction here. It Is regarded as ensuring a speedy settle ment of the question. Mr. Chamberlain recently despatched a loyal commission hero to Inquire in to the whole matter of French trcuty rights. The committee of tho Joint French claims are far more exacting than tho treaties permitted, and, before leaving a fortnight ago to re turn to England, they expressed their Intention of supporting- the case of Newfoundland upon every count. There is no doubt that Mr. Chamber lain's emphatic declaration at Man chester Is the result of conferences he has had with the commissioners since their return to England. -VISIT OF IGLESIAS.

The state de partment has been informed by Minis ter Calvo, of Costa Rica, that Presi dent Igleslas will visit Washington within the next fortnight. Ordinarily the visit of the president of a sister republic would be a ceremonious occa sion, but in this case President Igle sias comes Incognito and on an entirely private mission, so that outside of tho exchange of unoiliclal courtesies the government will not give him a formal welcome. He will arrive at Now York next Tuesday, nnd after a brief stay there will come on to Washington, stopping at the Costa Hican legation. Later he will make a trip to Chicago, St. Louis nnd some other western cities, nnd then may go to Europe. He is travel ing chiefly for his health.

Manila, Nov. 10. General Otis, thd commander of the American forces, re cently proposed to Agulnaldo that h release the friurs and civilians held in captivity throughout the provinoes. Tho Insurgent leader denied their mal- treatment and refused to releaso the! prisoners claiming that tho civilians had enlisted as volunteers and there fore wore legitimate prisoners of war. Agulnaldo also denied that 'women and children were detained but said Bom women and children had voluntarily, accompanied their husbands or fatlw ers into captivity. As to tho frlarp, Agulnaldo arguefl that they are prohibited by the popu from accepting parochial appoint-" ment.', that they aro only permitted to follow monastic life, and that tho parishes are entrusted to ministers of the Independent monastic orders. But he adds, the Philippine clericals havo deliberately and systematically do celved the pope, pretending that the country was barbarous, unfit for the) regular ministry and that it was nec essary that the monastic orders should administer the parishes. Therefore. Agulnaldo continued, he considered It necessary to detain the friars until tho pope is undeceived. The Spanish papers here assert that a sanguinary mutiny has taken placo on board tho steamship Bernardino and that the nntlve crew massacred their Spanish ollicers. These papers also appeal to tho United States to control the natives. Advices from Hollo say the natives of that vicinity distrust Agulnaldo and want American domination. DISQUIETINO AT WASHINGTON. Washington, Nov. 10. Reports ot a somewhat disquieting nature have been received from General Otis, in com mand at Manila. Ho says that the province of Hollo, In the Island ot Panay, which Is technically occupied by the Spaniards, Is surrounded by tho Insurgents and that fears are enter tained that the Spanish population and garrison will be massacred by the in surgents. The capital of the province is ".."in miles from Manila, but this nnd the other Islands, with tho exception of Manila and Its adjacent country. Is not under control ot the Americans. Heretofore tho United States olllcers have tried to prevent disturbances be tween the insurgents and the Span lards through good oillcos and coun sel. The Indications are, however, that the present situation in Hollo cannot be controlled by the United States army at Manila or the Insurgent lead ers there, nnd If serious consequences are averted some other method will have to be adopted. The troops under General Otis are not available for any such duty and, under the terms of tho protocol, pending peace negotiations, It Is not desirable to send a force from the army to the island of Panay. There Is no Intention at present ot sending additional troops to General Otis, but the situation is such as to strengthen tin determination of tho administra tion not to reduce the available forco under his command.
