HANNIS TAYLOR NOT SATISFIED The Late Minister to Spain Criticizes the Work of the Peace Commis sion. . ioiiv. .mi v. ..a. iiannls Taylor, late American minister to Spain, pub lishes in the Dei-ember number or the North American Itevlew a scathing iltlelsm of the work or the American pence eoimnlsfioii. Mr. Taylor eon tends that lu the negotiations lospect Ing Cuba. Port,, itu-ii and the Philip, pines, the nieiiib.r- of the oinmlssloii should hav been guided by the prei e dent established by this country in Its dealings witli Mexico alter Hie letoii- ous Issue of the Mexican war. Then, lie Kiys. we ruliised. as Mexico lay hel'iiess at our feet, to take fiom be'r a single sitmre mile ,,i tm-i-ltory by right or ioniiiesi. our innimlssloners were insirticted to offer ber Jl.l.niin.fiiM) in cash and the assumption upon our part of more than tine- million dollars due from liev to American citizens, as compensation for the aiea out of which has been "caived California. Nevada, Arizona. I'tah and New Mexico. And thus." sa):i Mr. Tavlor. "w.-ik established a new pilnclple of national murallty which stands alone, perhaps. In the annals of nations." -Mr. Tavlor contends that now, when for the llrst time since the coniiuest of Mexico, we bave another vanquished nation at our feet we owed to Spain all the consldeiatloii and justice that can be due to the weak fiom the strong, especially as Spain Iuim been an old and a good ftlend. with whom we had never before broken off ilinloniatli- relations. Tlie arrangement which has been concluded by the American commission, Mr. Taylor characterizes as u "vast ravishment." We bine lelused arbi tration, we have Mimiuarlly demanded the sin render ,,f the entile Philippine archliiclauo and as a salve to Spain, we have tendered JJO.OOil.iWn. The war has cost us tliiecily about one hundred and sixty-live million dol lars, aim as a compensation for that outlay we have appropriated Porto Itlco, which can hardly In- valued at much less than double that amount. It Is difllcult to understand, therefore, vhy in dealing with Cuba and the Philippines we shuuld have been un willing to recognize these reasonable and natural cuultles which lollow in quired territory. In the case or the Philippines, we have admitted that, so Tar as'the debts or tbeso Islands represent expenditures for Hie improvement of the country, they must "run with the land." nnd constitute a charge upon It. rpon what grounds hnvo we rejected the applica tion of that elementary principle of law nnd common honesty to the case or Cuba? The pretense that It cannot be there applied because we do not Intend to accept sovereignty over Cuba will not avail, for as soon as Cuba Is evac uated by the Spanish troops the fnlt ed Slates will exercise a qualified sov ereignty over the island, and being a military government there nnd llgldly (liforcing all laws for the purpose of collecting revenue, both external and InlM-i-ai, a condition which must ex ist u.ttil congress orders otherwise. In the easf of Cuba, as well as In that of the Philippines, the amount or Pacllle -. pciiuiiure.s made by Spain for the permanent Improvement of the Island should have In en recognized ns a legal charge upon It.

Gibson, of Erie Petition Prnys That Steps Be Taken to Recover Money Taken from Inmates of the Home. Philadelphia. No . IW. State StMmtor Perry A. (Slbsnii.of the Kile county dis trict, today met (iovemor Hasting at ine Miatlnrd hotel, thin city, by up. polnlmeiit. and laid before him a lengthy petition which the senator had leeched from inmates ,( the Soldiers' and Sa Hois' home at Krle, Pa. Tlie petition prayed the senator to tak-st-ps to leeiner I'm- thorn pension ' A which ihey had received from the national government nnd which they allege has been Illegally taken from them by the trustees of the Insti tution at Krle. The petition Is signed by one bundled Inmates or the home, who allege that an aggregate of $10.' per month Is taken from them, and that the ninount taken from the In mates of the home s-Hnc-e 1SS.1. in which year It was organized, aggregates near ly $lW,(MMi nnd is being added at the late or .$li).(i0n per year. The method or taking this money from the old sol diers, the petition alleges, is n rule adopted by the trustees of the Institu tion which compels the Inmates to tutu over to the home nil pension money re ceived In evces.s of four dollars per month, on penalty of discharge. The petition nets out Hint the national gov ernment gives to the home $100 per capita each )ear. with tlie proviso that there Is no state law exacting any por tion of the pension money given the Inmates, In the latter case the govern ment pus only 15.10 pei capita. There Is no state law authorizing the for feiture of any or the pension money of the Inmates and the home lecelved the lull SbMi, though the trustees us al leged, have adopted a rule or their own. taking all or un Inmates' pension In ex-' cesH of four dollars per month. The petitioners say they me Informed that this niuiiev Is placed lu the hands of Louis Wagner, or Philadelphia, treas urer or the board or trustees or the home, ami said to be used lu extending rellel" to dependent relatives or pen sioners In the home. The petitioners say that they have no dependent rela tives and that their money in taken without uny apparent design or using it for any purpose, either for the benefit of the home, relatives or Inmates them selves. They also decline t untrue that the inonev Is given to relatives or In mates who die in the institution, and to Htmsinrt their disbelief Hint the money Is so expended they furnish with the petltlcn the statement of tho widow or Henry (.'. Aid-man. an inmate, who died at the home on June IS last. Mrs. Allenian avers that since her husband's death she has been informed by Air. Wagner that all the pension money re ceived on Alleinan's account has been used I'm- bis maintenance and care. WAONKH'S OFFICIAL ACCOUNT. The ntllclal account or Air. Wagner to the home is also appended. Jt shows that Sl.ooii was ucelved on ac count or pension money due Allenian (who was a lunatic) nnd that that (iniotiut had been expended for bin care ami maintenance. There was none left for the widow. In connection with the allegation of the exaction of the pension money the petition says: "Under thin rule we have paid Into the home up to date sums varying from $in tu upward" of $700 each, and th- whole or tb"se moneys are now re tained by Louis Wagner, treasurer of the soldi-is' home nnd nre In deposit lu i hank In Philadelphia of which lie Is prcrldent, nnd used by hint as be sees lit, not one lent of which is paid Into the tleasury of the slate, as iher is mi state i.-nv by which It can recelv it. The state does not ben ellt by It. The I'nlted Slates loses money by It." Tae governor, after the conference with Senator Cibson, took c. copy of th- petition and accompanying papers nnd Informed the senator that he would take up the matter at once ard Insti tute n full Investigation. (leneral Louis Wngner Is one of the most prominent citizens of Philadel phia, nnd hns for years been active In financial and political circles, lie was formerly director of public works and is now president of the Third National bank, and of the board of city trusts, u prominent .Mason and a member of many other organizations. Senator Gibson, In speaking of the petition, stated that the matter first came to bis attention through rumors and statements made bv the soldiers. He was asked to take the matter up and told the inmates If they would put their charges lu writing and nfllx their names he would Investigate, and If the charges showed any basis for action he would place the matter before Gover nor Hastings. "I investigated the matter," contin ued Senator Gibson, "to the minutest detail and feel that the old soldiers have a Just cause for complaint. Whether the state of n'falr.s alleged by them is due to design or has crept Into the system I must refer you to the petition and the results which may be determined by the Investigation which Is to be made.

Washington, Nov. .10. The navy de partment today made public a reporc from Admiral Sampson covering tho operations of the Pnlted States block ading lleet orr Santlugo after the de struction of Cervcra's squadron. Tho leport begins with u despatch dated the llagsbip New Yoik. July in. and wind.! up with one t'loiu the same llag--hlp dated Guantaniiinii, Aug. t. In Hie first report Admiral Sampson says of the demonstration made against Agiiadores by the Michigan troops un der utillield, tlie point of which was that as soon us the ships took part in the thing the Spaniards disappeared, 'tie fays thai the bombardment of San tiago on the second or July served no purtictilar 1 because Sbaftcr's at tack bud been postponed, lie quotes dispatches from himself to Shatter stating that it Is Impossible to force an entrance lo the harbor until the mines had been removed nnd that work could In- accomplished only after the Hoops bud taken the forts. Shafter re plied that he could not tell when he ii-uld take Hie batteries. If they were as difllcult as those against which ho vas piited It would lake some time and a great loss of life, lie says: "I am at a loss to .see why the navy cannot wink under a destructive fire as well an the army. Aly loss yesterday was over :;fii) men. Hy nil menus keep up llu on everything In sight until de molished. I expect, however, with tlmo nnd sulllelent men to cupture the forts along the bay." An hour laier on the same day. July - Shafter again appealed to Sampson, to force the harbor entiauce Immed iately ,o us to uvoid future loss atnong' Ms men. already very heavy. Says he: "You can operate with less loss of lifo than I can." lu reply on the same day Admiral Sampson pointed out that the channel of the harbor was well strewn Willi mines which would certainly re fill t In the sinking or one or more of his ships If he attempted to enter the harbor and that by winking one tho harbor would be blocked against the entrance of the others, lie had hoped thill Shafter would take the batteries from the rear so that he might drag for th(, torpedoes, but If It was Shar ter's earnest desire that be should force the entrance be would prepare to un dertake It, thinking, however, that the position or both army and navy would be made more illllleult ir they railed lu the attempt. He promised to use mines at Guautunanio to countermine those nt Santiago, which would con sume considerable time. AIOVKD WITH CARL'. Savs Sampson- "it v.-'s not so much the loss of the men as it Is tho loss of s'lips which bave until now deterred us from making a direct attack tip the ships within tde port." fter the battle with Cervera's tleet Shatter ren-wed his icquest Hint Sampson force an iiitrauee, saying his present position nad i ost him n thous and men ami that In did not wish to lose any more. Sampson, In comment, says tills shows a complete misappre hension ol the circumstances. He al leges that the sinking of the .Mercedei would obstruct the entrance of Hkj lame Amerlian ships and that exlen slve sboie batteries were known to exist. His chief of stnu" had Indicated to Shafter the points that should bo carried before an) attention was paid to the city and the taking of these points vvoiilu have insured the destruc tion of the mines nnd the entranco of the American peet. Shafter bnd eor dlatlj '-onsented to this and Sampson did not know why be changed hla plan unless the troops had been ad vanced too tar tu divert, lie expresses the belief that an adherence to tint original plan would nave resulted lu the mueh quicker surrender of tho Spanish troops and le.is b ss of life, -cept In the navy, which would have borne Un brum of etlnck, Sampson tells how lie contemplated bringing up the nuiiine iiaitnllon from Gmintnn iiino. landing them at the foot of Mono, to assist in assault or to tnfco the west battery, nnd bad no doubt of the fiir-ccss of bis plan He iirrangeil to vlsll Shafter to talk ibis over, but being lo 111 wus oblb;ed to send his i bier or stuff.

They reached i.n arrangement to bom bard Santiago from the sea for twen-ty-foui hours with tin heavy suns, and If that lalbd to bring the enemy to terms, thin to assault the Soeiipn. battery with the murines and Cubans and force an entrance to the harbor with some ol" the smaller ship. "Thus," says Sampson, "I, have been furpils-id to soo published lu the papus any statement of refusal on my part to endeavor to forn- iny way into the harbor and cannot understand In case tho newspaper report be a truthful statement sent by dim s'hafter's send ing any report of this Hnd.
