'- THE MOTIVE OF SPAIN Effort to Cover Up Defal cations in the Philippines. CAUSE OF THE INVASION The Points Laid Down by the Span ish Represenatlves in the Answer Presented by Them nt Wednes day's Session Will Not Change At titude of the United States Our Peace Comraissioneis Supplied with Facts to Frustrate the Latest Strategy of Spain. Washington, Nov. IS. The two points laid down by tho Spanish peace com missioners in the answer presented by them at Wednesday's session of tho Joint commission will not be permitted u clianKO tho attitude of the I'nlted States commissioners. Theso jiwlnts were, In substance, that the Spanlaids could not permit nny question to be j.ilBud as to the uuthorlty of the Span ish government to pledgo tho resouices of the Philippines to meet tho Philip pine loun, and that they couldnpt per mit an accounting of the wa)s in which the proceeds of this loan had been expended. There is reason to bollovo that the Spanish purpose Is to conceal enormous defalcations by tho Spanish otllclals who hae governed the Philippines since the issue of the loan. The osten fclble purpobo is to be able to plead inability to state what the "pacific ex penditures" have been on account of tho Philippine?, which was nil that tho I'nlted States pioposed to rclmbuiso them for. Our government, however, in antici pation of pome such evasive dealings has prepared the American coniinls Moncr.s with lnstiuctloiis which exact ly meet this case. They know nppiox ii.iately tho lalue of the betterments in the Philippines, having iiscoitnlned this fiom private but thoioughly le llnble sources. Knowing this, they can offord to ignoio entirely tho cffoitri of the Spaniards to becloud tho fait ai.d will adopt tho simplest expedient of proferlng such a lump sum as Is deemed just and fair for the Spanish properties, lequlrint; and tendeilng no statement or calculation as a basis for the offei. Thus will bo atoldod tho danger of a long tvr angle over a com plex statement of figmes and the Is stir will be made with perfect clear ness. !t Is believed the Spanish commls slonets will ilnally accept this offer, though It Is fully expected that, once the commission reaches tho poln' of naming sums of money and has left behind it all of the it relet ant dlseus Hon touching Spanish sovetelgnty, th Spanish commissioners may make a detei mined eftoit to secure a larger al lowance than the president has sanc tioned. ludging. however, by the conduct of th American commissioners up to this point, there will bo. vety little latitude allowed the Spaniards In this matter and It is believed that they have como to appicciate the fact that the Ameil pan proposition Is In tho end about what It tvasat the beginning and that the Amoilcan diplomat- Is stialght f oi ward at all points?.

C (Jieen leaf, thief suigeon of the tioops In the Held on Geneiul Miles' stuff, was the chief witness before tho war Intestl gatlng commission today. Taking u the question of the link of tents, surgeons and medical sup plies in Cuba Dr. Conner asked Dr. (ueenlc-jf how the medical supplies weio delajed at Slbonet. Dr. Oroen leaf said that he did not know. "Who finally unloaded ihexe sup plies?" nsked Dr. Coiinui. "I did. I tapturcd sonic pontoons and took the law Into my own hands." "You unloaded In thli-slx houis supplies that hud been It lug In the hatbor two weeks. Why did not Di. Pope, chief surgeon of General Sbuf ter's cm ps, land them within those two weeks"" "I suppose he wus ut the flout at tending to the wounded" "Did Dr. Pope take cate of one wounded man? ' "I cannot say," leplled Dr. Clieen leaf. "I am sine that Dr. Pope did the best he could. I had full authority fiom Geneial lilies to do what X thought best." In reply to a question Dr. Gieenleat said he supposed Dr. Pope had author ity from Geneial Shafter sufficient to enable him to unload the supplies nt Slboney, as he (Dr. Gicenleaf) had done. "There Is no doubt" s. Id Dr. Con ner, "that somebody woe dieadfully at fault. Can't you hel.i us to find out who It was?" Dr. Gieenlcaf said he could not. In reply to another quest'on Dr. Gieen lcaf said that It was usual In time of war to anticipate the tiants of wound ed men und to expect that there would be wounded. He could not tell It all proper anangements bad been made In Cuba, but he knew that the stoics had been landed. He declared positive ly that he found no eUtfeneo of nny neglect or Incompetency on the pait of any medical ofllcer. Questioned a to the condition of af falis on the transports, Di. Gicenleaf said that he did not pei'-oiiHlIy Inspect thr transports at Cuba but those leav ing Porto Rico under his personal direc tion weio well found In all lespects. AN IDL'AL CAMP. Camp Jlontauk, Dr. Giecnleaf eon sldeied an Ideal camp for lis purpose. Lack of train sertlce ho eonsldeied a potty dlscomfoit. No complaints' of any moment weio submitted to him and the small giumbllngs he hoard he ln estimated and found without Justi fication. Questioned as to the discom forts enduied by tho fuiloughcd men, who. lck and weak, weio compelled to loiter about the lallway station await ing fairs and fin loughs, he said that all that trouble might have been avoided by the establishment of a quiirtcunas tei's office at the hospital. Dr. Conner asked why tho large foico of women nutseo, who hud offeied their seivices were not accepted and Dr. Gieenlcaf said there was no way to eaiu for them at tho camp. Dr. Gicenleaf. still icplylng to ques tions told of the methods of gianting furloughs from tho hospitals at Camp Montauk and of the Influenco to hi ought to bear upon the suigeons to grant these furloughs. Ho said if a man to whom leave was granted died at his home, the snngeons were blamed for letting him leato the hospitals and where leave was refused, If tho man died theie his friends declared that homo musing would have cured him. General Deaver asked Dr. Gieenleat it sick men weio taken to the battle line, and when the doctor said no, Gen eral Heaver asked why so much stiess was laid on the fact thut no medical supplies weie taken to the fiont un les It was usual to send men to the medicine and not medicine to the men. Dr. Gieenlcaf said that supplies should have been at the battle line for the men taken sick there. To questions from Captain Howell, ex-Got ei nor Woodbuiy ami Geneial Wilson, Dr. Gieenlcaf suld that he would not have selected Camp Alger as u tamping place for soldleis and that In his opinion Camp Miami In Tlorlda was fitted only for a quaian tlue hospital and should not hate been used as a camp-for 10.000 men awaiting traiu'poitatlon to Cuba. AS TO NPUSCS Hx-Goveinor Woodbuiy Is It pmp er to eiltleise the department foi not hating employed temale nuises sooner than It did? Di. Gieenlcuf I think not. Geneial Stenibeig, and I agree witlt him, did not believe that the firing line was the place for a woman. In the hos pital the women nuises rendeied ex cellent set vice, but at tho fiont theto was no place for them. tlential Dodgo asked of the i until lions of the tinnspoits leaving Tam pa 101 Cuba and Dr. Gleenlrnf unlil they weio dieadfully oteiciowded. llo could not suv that tho oveieiowdlng was not a inllitaiv necessity, but It wa- certainly tuoii,j Hum a snnltuiy point of tioiA.

IS Senator Mc Uilde, of Oregon, who Is one of tho Hist western senators to teaeh Wash ington, bultetes that tho Republican successes on the Pacific slope will be duplicated in 1900. "Ilolh on the Pacific coast and In the Interloi states," he says, "the campaign for sound mone has been gi owing con stantly. 1 consider the slate of Kan sas us ledeemed to the Republican paity, and the tote In the iielghboilng states that hate foimerly been for fiee slltei Is teiy eiuouiaglrig." "Your people all want this gottin inent to keep the Philippines.'" "Yes, we aie alt expansionists. 1 do not want to attempt any ell-eus-iou of the tieaty with Spain befoie It Is pre sented to the senate, but I mat s.iv peisonully I think the war has Im posed duties upon us In our lelutlons with those islands that will not wai uint us In letting them go now." Senator McHlldu states that he Is In favor of an extta session If It Is Im possible to tiunsact all the neeeai business befoie Mulch 4. ' I wish to emphasize," said the sen ator, "the Impoitance of monetary leg islation thnt will pt event the lecui rence ot any 'endless chain.' The vot ei s in Oregon and clsewheie In the west hate Indicated their allegiance to sound money. In Kebru.u y, ISIS, I cat't the only tote fiont the Pacific coast in either house against the siier bill. It Is a mattei of some Dilde to me that eter. Republican tote fiom the Pacific c,out In the next congress w ill be for sound money. "I held then that the west was just as much Interested In sound money as the east, and theie could be no such thing as one kind of money for the east and a different kind of money for the west. These Ideas hate been gain ing giouud In the west, and we want legislation that will iissuie us a stable cunency based absolutely and with out any equivocation on the gold stand aid. "It Is one of the most satisfactory featuies of the tecent elections," added the senator, "that a huge Republican majoiily will coutiol the senate after next Match. That makes it ceitaln that no free silver legislation can bo pnssed for sK or eight teais. Never theless as the law stands ow. It would bo possible for a fipe silver president to put this country on a silver stand aid within a week after his inaugma tlon. The lnw prut Ides for the pay ment of ceitnln government obliga tions In cither gold or slher, and by eliieetlug payments In silver, which the piesldent undoubtedly hns authotlty to do, the sllverltes could establish ill icitly their propaganda, and eten If the house were Republican It would be unite difficult to ihange the lnw. "Theiefote, I think we should enact some positive legislation to establish a stable cuuenct I nui in fat or of this legislation Just as early as other men tan be found In eongiess willing to take it up I would make a begin ning nt the appioaehlug session. "If the law was made posltlte about the pajment of government obligations In gold, the tountiy Is secure against the acts of a fiee silver piesldent." CRASH ON THE ROCK ISLAND.

In view of the piohablllty ot the nnno'cntloii of the Islands to the United States, to pursue a course that would not be ob noxious to the Culled States, but the situation Is now icgarded to bo criti cal. As far as the Spaniards1 are con cerned, pel hups, thev can be left to take cine ot themselves, but the foi -clgn lesldents at Hollo are differently regarded The dlflleulty lu the situa tion Is that with the best ot intentions to Intel vene to protect the Europeans and other forelgneis and to save the t Ity of Hollo, the second in Impoitance In the Philippine gioup, from looting, the I'nlted States foi cos appear to be stopped, undoi the niles of war, fiom moving fiom their position. Such 's the eonsti notion plated upon the clause In the protocol i elating to a suspen sion of hostilities. nrrwT at pvris. The Inimedi-ile elfeet ol this state ot nlfalis may be to hasten action In tho Palis conference, for It is only by th tetmlnntlnn of that tiibunnl that Un united States can come to the lellef of the beleugined Spanlauls in Hollo ami othei points.
