Paris,' Oct 4. The American peace
commissioners held a session yester
day morning at their ownvofflces, pre
paratory to the second meeting with
the Spanish commissioners, which be
gan t the commission's rooms in the
foreign office immediately after their
assembling there at 2 o'clock In the
afternoon. The session lasted until 4
o'clock, at which hour the commission
ers adjourned to meet at 2 o'clock next
Friday afternoon, such Interval being
desirable and necessary to allow sepa
rate consideration by each commission
of matters requiring such course before
the joint commission. The Interval will
be thus filled with work by each com
mission, the ultimate results being thus
facilitated.
The secretary of the Spanish commis
sion arrived last night and the interval
will also be employed by the secretaries
Jointly In maturing plans for the work
and procedure. While the American
commissioners were at luncheon yes
terday General Merrltt called at their
hotel, but he did not wait to see them.
He called again this morning to meet
the members of the commission.
The Spanish and American commis
sioners were received this afternoon by
President Faure. General Merrltt ac
companied the Americans to this func
tion, which was held at the Palais de
Elysee.
The opinion Is now held that the
work of the commission may be fin
ished within a month from the present
time. While It Is the general Impres
sion that yesterday's meeting was
again devoted to preliminaries and that
the adjournment to Friday was taken
only to enable the secretaries to draw
up a schedule of work, the representa
tives of the press have learned that the
session was highly Important, and that
Ihe Americans have madei demand of
such character that the Spaniards
found 'it necessary to ask for an ad
journment In order to enable them to
consult with the government at Mad
rid. It In believed that the question con
cerns the Philippines, and It Is known
that the Americans are highly pleased
at having so soon reached what they
consider a very Important phase of the
negotiations, and consider the two es
plons thus far held as very satisfactory
to America. The fact that a member
of the commission expressed the belief
that the work would be completed
within a month indicates a happy
frame of mind.
In the Spanish camp great hopes ore
built on what they believe General
Merrltt will advise, namely, that the
Philippines are Incapable of self gov
ernment, and that the whole situation
does not warrant America In taking
responsibility for the entire Philip
pines. The Spaniards are quite ready
to give whatever America asks In the
way of coaling stations, but will re
sist more to the verge of a renewal of
hostilities.
The Spanish commissioners are cold
ly courteous and seemingly unflinching
in their no surrender attitude respect
ing the Philippines. They apparently
fully appreciate the diltlculties In
America regarding the army misman
agement and the resulting nntural de
sire to get the work of the commis
sion concluded most speedily. Thpse
circumstances encourage the Spaniards
to remain obdurate.

While ta the Former the Sickness

Ponce, Porto Rico, Oct. 4. It Is the
well grounded and almost unanimous
opinion of the medical staff of thi
American army In Porto Rico that the
condition of the volunteer forces here
necessitates their removal north. Sick
ness is Increasing, and has been in
creasing during the past four week
at an alarming rate. The sick report
shows over 2,700 in hospitals or In
quarters, out of a total command of
10,000 men that is, over 25 per cent of
the troops are on the sick list. This,
however, does not mean that there U
an effective strength of 7,500 men. The
soldiers discharged from the hospitals
as fit for duty are In nine cases out of
ten Incapable of service, and If ordered
to duty are almost Invariably back in
the hospital within a few days. The
medical otllcers have found that the
convalescents , do not and seemingly
cannot recover their strength In this
climate, and for this reason they are
iH-ing sent nurth as rupldly as pos
sible, several hundred leaving every
week.
It Is a slgnltlchnt fact that there is a
wide disparity between the sickness In
the volunteers and regular command.
In tho two regular infantry regiments,
the Nineteenth and Eleventh, the sick
ness averages only about 10 per cent.,
while In the volunteer regiments the
Sixth Massui husets, First New York
engineers, Fourth Ohio, Third Illinois.
First Kentucky, Third Wisconsin and
Sixteenth Pennsylvania It averuges "I
per cent. In the last named two, where
the conditions ate the worst, the sick
rt port shows a percentage of 4ti in the
Sixteenth Pennsylvania und 42 in the
Third Wisconsin. Over half of these
two regiments, which, with the First
Kentucky, comprise (lenernl F.rnst's
brigade, are until for duty, and a week
ago, when tieneral Krnst moved his
heudiiuartcrs up to Alhonlto, on the
summit of the mountain range, It was
found thnt it would be Impossible for
the brigade to follow. The command is
prostrate where it Is.
Undoubtedly the wide disparity be
tween the percentage of sickness In the
volunteers ami regular organizations is
largely due to the fact that the former
are better able to care for themselves.
Most of them uro veterans who under
stand the rules of health in camp, and
their ofllcers from the very outset have
enforced with untiring energy the saiii
tury regulations so nec ssary for the
preservation of health. Itut more than
that, the regulars are making soldering
a business. They did not enlist for the
war, but for live years, and they look
upon their assignment for servlc In
Porto Klco philosophically, and so
make the best of the situation.
The volunteers, on the other hand, en
listed for two years, but with the al
most universal expectation that they
would be mustered out when the war
closed. Almost to a man they desire to
go home, and ever since the protocol
was signed they have lived in the; dally
hope of being recalled. For days they
talked of nothing else. Homesickness
depressed their spirits und made them
easy victims of the malarial climatic
conditions.
The worst feature of the situation Is
the steady Increase In the number of
typhoid casin, which reaches over MMi,
For a time It uppeared probable that
the typhoid fever 111 the army, most of
which Is alleged to have come from
Camp Thomas and Camp Alger, origi
nally, would he stamped out, but re
cently new cases hegan to appear at
nn alarming rule. Major Snowden and
his associates do not believe that there
Is a new source of contagion, but rather
that the cases ate due to Infection from
the old cases.

Middletown, P Oct. 1 The Second
