The American peace commissioners held a session yester day morning nt their own ofllccs, pre paratory to the second meeting; with tho Spanish commissioners, which be Ban nt the commission's rooms In tho forolun ofllcc Immediately after their nssembllnR there at 2 o'clock In the afternoon. The session lasted until 4 o'clock, at which hour the commission ers adjourned to meet nt 2 o'clock next Friday afternoon, such Interval being deslrnble nnd necessary to allow sepa rate consideration by each commission of matters requiring such course before the Joint commission. The Interval will be thus niled with work by each com mission, tho ultimate results being thus facilitated. The secretary ot tho Spanish commis sion arrived last night and the Interval will also bo employed by the secretaries Jointly In maturing plans for the work nnd procedure. While tho American commissioners were nt luncheon yes terday General Merrltt called at their hotel, but he did not wait to see them. Ho called again this morning to meet the members of the commission. The Spanish and American commis sioners were received this afternoon by President Fauro. General Merrltt ac companied the Americans to this func tion, which was held at the Palais de Rlysee. The opinion Is now held that the work of the commission tniay be fin ished within a month from thoi present time. While It Is the general Impres sion that yesterday's meeting was again devoted to preliminaries and that tho 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 Besslon was highly Important, and that the Americans have made a demand of Buch character that tho Spaniards found It necessary to ask for an ad journment In order to enable them to consult with the government at Mad rid. It Is 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 ses sions 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 tho Spanish camp great hopes are built on what they believe General Merrltt will advise, namely, that the Philippines nro 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 slst 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 difficulties In America regarding the army mlsman agement and the resulting natural de sire to get the work of the commis sion concluded most speedily. These circumstances encourage the Spaniards to remain obdurate. MMltnna fitvnn Avuv.

THE REGULARS AND VOLUNTEEES Wltllo lu tlio Vovtnov tlio Sickness Avorncos Only Ton Ior Cent, In tlio Sixteenth, reuuoylvntiln I'ortj six J'or Cent Aro on tho Slok I.ltt. Tonco, Porto nico, Oct. 4. It Is the well grounded and almost unanimous opinion of the medical staff of the American army In Porto Rico that the condition of the volunteer forces here necessitates their removal north. Sick ness is Increasing, and ha3 been in creasing during the past four weeks 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 tho sick list. This, however, does not mean that there is an effective strength of 7,500 men. The soldiers discharged from tho hospitals as tit for duty are In nine cases out of ten Incapable of service, and if ordered to duty are almost Invariably back In tho hospital within a few days. The medical olllccrs havo found that the convalescents do not nnd seemingly cannot recover their strength In this climate, and for this reason they are being sent north as rapidly as pos sible, several hundred leaving every week, It Is a slgnllicant fact that there Is a wide disparity between the sickness in the volunteers and regular commands. 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 Massachusets, First New York engineers, Fourth Ohio, Third Illinois, First Kentucky, Third Wisconsin and Sixteenth Pennsylvania It averages 34 per cent. In the last named two, where the conditions are the worst, the sick report shows a percentage of 40 In the Sixteenth Pennsylvania and 42 In the Third Wisconsin. Over half of these two regiments, which, with the First Kentucky, comprise General Ernst's brigade, are unlit for duty, and a week ago, when General Ernst moved his headquarters up to Albonlto, on tho summit of the mountnln range, it was found that it would bo Impossible for tho brigade to follow. The command Is prostrate where It Is. Undoubtedly the wide disparity be tween the percentage of sickness in the volunteers and regular organizations is largely duo to the fact that the former aro better able to care for themselves Most of them aro veterans who under stand the rules of health In camp, and their olTlcers from tho very outset have enforced with untiring energy the sanl tary regulations so necessary for the preservation of health. But 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 service In Porto Rico 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 tho protocol was signed they have lived in the dally hope of being recalled. For days they talked of nothing else. Homesickness depressed their spirits and made them easy victims of tho malarial climatic conditions. It Is said that some of them who did not fall sick naturally, actual ly exposed themselves to the wet or ate freely of tropical fruits, despite the regulations, that they might become 111 and be sent home. Some, it is alleged, even feigned sickness, and quite a number of these succeeded In their do signs. The other day a number of men from one of the regiments who had been or dered homo as convalescents came into Ponce ahead of their wagon train, sing ing, laughing and making merry at the prospect of their release. Some were college athletes. They appeared to be more capable of service than hundreds of the soldiers who remained, and one of the regular army olllcers In Ponce, upon looking them over, suggested Ironically that they should stop at New York on their way home and pick up a few prizes for throwing the hammer, putting the shot, etc., at tho Caledonian games. The worst feature of the situation Is the steady Increase in tho number of typhoid cases, which reaches over 400. For a tlmo It appeared probable that the typhoid fever In the army, most ot which is alleged to have come from Camp Thomas and Camp Alger, origi nally, would bo stamped out, but re cently new cases began to appear at an alarming rate. Major Snowden and his associates do not believe that there Is a new source of contagion, but rather that the cases arc duo to infection from the old cases. A few days ago the whole city of Ponce narrowly escaped being utterly depopulated by a typhoid epidemic. Some of the men of tho First Kentucky, who are camped near the aqueduct which carries the water supply of the city, In order to secure good water close at hand carelessly and thought lessly tapped tho anqueduct. They broke through tho masonry and for a wholo day were hoisting water In buckets from tho acqueduct. Fortun ately Major Snowden discovered the manhole while on a tour of Inspection tho next day. Ho was horrified at the discovery. Typhoid existed In the First Kentucky, and the entire water supply of the city might havo been contami nated with typhoid germs. He ordered the manhole sealed up immediately.

Henry Georgo has declined the nomination for governor on the ticket placed In the field by the Chicago platform Democrats, and the ifommlttco having authority to fill ths Vacancies nominated Henry M. Mc Donald, of tho county of New York, for tho place. Mr. Georgo In his letter says that by pursuing uninterruptedly the ditty of writing his father's biog raphy ho can do more for the principles of freedom than by engaging actively In politics. Mr. George continues: "I should say, In Justice to myself nnd to those who honestly advance tho silver question to tho rank of first Im portance, that I nm no more than my father was an advocate of free coinage. He condemned Its economic soundness, being In fact a believer neither In gold nor sliver, but In credit or paper money. Ho supported the Chlcngo platform not on nccount of, but In spite of, Its advoency ot free silver, because he be lieved thnt lu other respects it stood for the principles of freedom; because It took the side of tho weak as against that of tho monopolist; because it sided with the house of want against the house of havo. I nm In entire accord with those views, and I think It proper to stato them frankly, that there may bo no room for misunderstanding on the part of any." Henry M.

UnllliiKiio 11 ml Petrol Will (io ns Near its Posllilo to l'cklll. Washington, Oct. 4. Secretary Long, upon advluGH received at tho state de partment showing the existence of threatening conditions In China, has ordered Admiral Dewey to send two warships immediately from Manila to a point as near tho Chinese capital as possible for a warship to approach. The vessels selected for the undertak ing aro the Baltimore and the Petrel. It is expected that the Baltimore will not be able to get beyond tho Taku forts at the entrance of the Pang-He river, upon which Pekln Is situated, but tlio Petrel, being of smaller pro portions, may be able to reach Tien Tsln, 80 miles above the mouth and about the same distance below Pekln. The olliclals keenly regret that there Is not now on tho Asiatic a light draught gunboat of the Helena class, which could ascend the river as far as the Chinese capital. Secretary L.ong said the sole pur pose of ordering the Baltimore and the Petrel to Chinese waters was to safe guard American Interests and protect life and property of American citizens in the event ot an outbreak ln the In terlor. it is shu Hnu u.sau- .rixA pointinir for a ffltherigSQN hard - earned money for lila education. work to Insure him - an advantageous start in life, and build cas ties iu the air about the bov's future, only to have him killed off In the early years of mnnhood by the dread disease con sumption.

It also cures bron chitis, laryngitis, throat and nasal troubles and nil allied diseases of the air-passages.

It gives a keen edge to the appe tite, corrects the impaired digestion, pro motes the flow of digestive juices, facili tates the production of chyle in the lower stomach, or Intestines, invigorates the liver and purifies and enriches the blood.
