Paris, Nov. 22. The United States
peace commissioners have undoubtedly
made their llnal proposition here. When
the conference opened yesterday after
noon Judge Day, addressing Senor
Montero ltlos and hjs colleagues of the
Spanish commission, recurred to the
protracted negotiations and reaffirmed
the desire of the American commis
sioners to reach an amicable conclusion.
Then, handing the American presenta
tion to the Interpreter, Judge Day con-
eluded his remarks by saying that the
Americans, preferring not to break the
armistice or to resume hostilities, had
determined to present another and
final proposition, which he hoped would
lead to a speedy and amicable adjust
ment.
That portion of the presentation set
ting forth the new proposal, the pro
posal that the United States must have
possession of the entire Philippine
archipelago, with a tender of $20,000,
000 for a treaty cession of the Islands,
was then read. Without betraying
their mental attitude the Spanish com
missioners suggested an adjournment
until Wednesday.
The new proposition, with Its collat
erals, was embodied toward the end of
the American memorandum, which
filled 30 typewritten sheets. Only this
part was read In the Joint session, the
memorandum being then, delivered to
the Spaniards for translation by their
own staff.
Spain's proposition to Invoke the of'
flees of a third power to construe tho
words "control, disposition and gov
ernment of the Philippines" was re
jected by the American commissioners
on the ground that the diction of the
third article of the protocol, dealing
with the Philippines, Is so broad and
clear as to afford no Justification for ar
bitration as between the parties to
the agreement.
An analysis of the American mem
orandum shows that all other sug
gestions and considerations In It hlngo
upon treaty cession, at the amount
named by the United States, and with
in one week. In the event of cession
Spain may enjoy for a term of 12 years
rights of commerce In the Philippines
equal to those of the United States'. If
the United States acquire the Islands
by conquest Spain may not enjoy such
rights.
Should Spain refuse cession she would
remain liable for Indemnity claims, .na
tional and Individual, since the out
break of the last Cuban Insurrection.
Should' she lefuse she would also lose,
probably, as further Indemnity for the
expenses of conquest one of the Caro
lines,, which she may not now sell, and
other cable privileges within Spanish
Jurisdiction might be taken by the
United States without any return to
Spain for them.
Today the Spaniards doubtless do
not know whether they will accept or
reject the American terms. They are
telegraphing the substance of the
American memorandum to Madrid,
and they expect to reply at tomorrow's
meeting. Possibly they may conculde
that because one money offer Is made
another and a larger offer may fol
low pressure upon the American com
missioners. Itut If this be their ex
pectation It will not be realized. The
American terms, submitted almost at
the close of eight weeks of patient
hearing and painstaking argument, are
a practical ultimatum.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach tho
diseased portion of tho car. There Is only one
way to euro ileafnes, and that Is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an In
flamed condition of tho mucous lining ot tho
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets Inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hear
ing, and when It Is entirely cloned neatness
Is tho result.ond unless tho Inflammation can be
aken out and this tnbo restored to Its normal
condition, hearing will bo destroyed forever;
nlue coses out of ten are caused by catarrh,
whlsh Is nothing but an Inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

New York, Nov. 22. Ilefore the war
lnvcstlfjnttnp; commission yesterday
Major P. 11. Ives, the chief surgeon
ot the Third division of the Fifth army
corps, testified that the condition
of the men In the Cuban campaign wa3
as good as could be expected. Dr.
l.ouls A. Stlnson, of New York, told
of unsanitary conditions nt Camp WI
koff. He also testified that soldiers had
complained to him of having had noth
ing to cat for 2t hours, 'mere was
enough food for well men, but the sick
were not provided for. He Knew oi iu
men In one regiment being put on milk
diet when there was no milk In camp.
Miss Julia Hoisted Chadwlck, one or
the women who worked for tne sick
at Camp Wlkoff, submitted a written
statement ot the condition she found
there In the latter part of August ana
told of the distribution of food and
drink.
"Was It possible," ex-Governor Wood
bury asked, "for the camp to have been
put in better shape by the time you
visited It in August?"
1 think so. From warning given in
the published accounts of the great
Riifferlne In Cuba tho governmenc
mlght have been prepared lor tne j
emergency.
Miss Chadwlck went on to tell 01
the Inefficient supply of bed clothing
and underclothes. She heard that there
was plenty of both In store, but she
knew tho soldiers did not have them.
Some of the men told her they tried
to buy clothes, but they had no money.
She said she did not know that sol
diers could buy clothes without money,
nor did she know that General Wheeler
had testified that there was clothing,
but that the soldiers would not draw
It lest the cost be deducted from their
pay
"Did you hear any complaints from
the regular soldiers?"
"No, they would not complain, but
any one could see they were suffering.
I would ask them If there was not
something we could do for them, and
they always replied, 'Oh, we're all
rlgtit. We'll get along all right. Don't
trouble about us.' Still I knew those
men really lacked necessaries, not to
sneak of comforts."
Miss Chadwlck told of men too sick
to stand who left the hospitals at camp
and were found delirious on the trains
and at the railway stations. Aslced
by ex-Governor Woodbury If she knew
of any man who was sent from the nos
pltal except at his own request, Miss
Chadwlck said:
"I saw men sent from hospitals who
were In no condition to make their de
sires known. I am very sure that at
least seven-tenths of the sick who were
furloughed were far too 111 to move,
-and I met several men who had no
.homes who did not wish to leave the
hospitals."
"Did you hear men say they were
ent away against their will?" asked
ex-Governor Woodbury.
"I heard men say 'It Is a shame to
send me awny sick as I am.' "
"But you did not hear them say they
were t.ent away?"
"Nb, but surely that statement meant
the same thing."
rteplyltig to a question as to the sym
pathy that prevailed between olIlcerB
and men. Miss Chadwlck said:
"Among the olllcers and men of the
regular army I saw the most beautiful
and noble devotion. An officer who
looked as ill as any of his men came up
lo our carriage and thanked us for our
"kindness to his men. 'You know.' he
said, we regulars have no friends.' I
renlied that the whole nation were
their friends, and he burst into tears
:nnd walked away."
Dr. Conner asked Miss Chadwlck If
the condition of the sick was not made
-worse by the crowd of visitors con
stantly at the camp.
"No. most decidedly not," she re
nlied. "The Infantry would have
starved but for the food we gave them.
They wcie, tho majority of them, in
very poor health and could not eat the
regular army rations."
Dr. William Oilman Thompson, of
New York, said he visited Camp 'Wl
koff on Sept. 2 and on Sept. 8 to learn
.how many of the men In the hospitals
there were likely to be transferred to
the hospitals of the city. Asked if he
had any criticism to make ot the con
duct of the hospitals of Montauk, he
said:
"Well, hardly. I was not there long
enough to mnke proper criticism.
was told that there was not sufficient
disinfectants. My own observation In
one Instance showed me that this was
true, I found at least 30 such In
stances."
nut you have been quoted In the
newspapers all over tne country as
having said that you found filthy con
ditions prevailing."
AH I know about the hospital condi
tions Is the one instance I examined."
"Then you have been misquoted?
"Yes, sir. I wish to say that I have
not come here to mnke criticisms in
general, I merely came to tell you
about the 30 cases of typhoid fever
which came under my observation in
the riesbyyterinn hospital. In my
opinion they should not have been al
lowed to travel on a rnllroad 100 miles,
scattering Infection at every stop. I
can give you the names of those 30.
Some of tho men picked up In the
streets of this city and taken to the
Presbyterian hospital were in the third
week of typhoid fever. One was cov
ered with bed srtres, another died with
in two hours of his ndmlsslon and an
other within 21 hours."
Samuel L. Tarrloh, a lawyer of this
city, who spent the summer at South
ampton and visited Camp wlkoff sev
eral times, was the next witness. He
lived In the lied Cross tent there nnd
worked independently, doing what he
could for the soldiers tn camp. He was
asked by General Beaver If there were
any complaints. He answered:
"Indeed, no. There never was a more
uncomplaining man than the American
soldier. I saw disgraceful conditions,
but he.lrd no loinpluinis. If President
McKlnlcy had put himself In my hands
I could luu-' Khown him some things
that would have idiockcd lilm. He saw
none of them, lie was permitted to
make only a parade Inspection,"
"All thq trouble and suffering at the
camp," Mr. Parilch declined In sum
ming up his views, "was due to a lack
ot foresight and the neglect ot some
one. 1 cannot say who Is responsible
(or the condt'lons that prevailed, but I
can testify that very undesirable condi
tions did prevail."
"Did you see any ofTlcer of the trmy
or doctor neglecting hla duty In any
wayT" asked General McCook.
"doueral. that U a hard question, be
rouse It you had the power ot punm
ment for rontt mpt I would have to an
nwor, nnd that Is the trouble with this
commission n inuti does not feel lie Is
I'lotii led liernnsi' everything he says
Is leilly volunteer testimony. I know
n case where I think a man was a
most Improper man ( have u responsi
ble position, nnd yet I would not like
to sny so. There are hundreds of of
ficers who would be duMirhted to tell
you what they know If they could pro
tect themselves after stating whut they
hnd o tell."
"You nrc the first man who hns said
that to this committee," exclaimed Dr.
Conner anKnl.v. "that you decline to
give Inf- l mrtfi'ii because you are not
compelled t" give It."
After considerable discussion on these
lines the witness still continued tn de
cline, which led General Heaver to say:
"If there nie any other gentlemen like
you who want to testify before a con
gressional committee, with a trip to
Washington, you may not have an op
portunity to do so. It would be bet
ter for you to testify before us now."

San Francisco, Nov. 22. At the Pal
ace hotel in this city aie registered a
number of very prominent Filipinos,
They come direct from the city of Man
lln, and nie en route to Washington.
The object of the visit to the United
States Just now Is to present large
claims fm damages before the presl
dent nnd cabinet. The damages, the
claimants assert, were Incurred owing
to the recent war with Spain, and an
nttempt will he made to show that val
uable property owned by the Filipinos
was destroyed by the American troops,
The Chant Despair.
One of the most hor
rible tkinirs about the
m-rvrms diseases to which
women are peculiarly
subject is tne sense oi
overwneimine aesoan
which they bring upon the mind,
A woman's mental condition is
ditectly and powerfully affected by
any ailment of the delicate, special
nro-nni of her sex. Such a dllliculty
not only racks her bodv with pain and suf
fering but burdenslierwith mental anguish
which words can hardly describe.
Thousands of women have had a similar
experience to that of Mrs. Uurath A.
Williams, of Weslport, Oldham Co., Ky.,
in which the use of Dr. Pierce's wonderful
"Favorite Prescription," by imparting
halth and strength to the feminine organ
ism, has not only restored complete vigor
and capacity to the bodily powers but has
also given renewed brightness and buoy
ancy of spirit.
" I suffered for over a year." says Mrs. Williams,
"with Indigestion and nervous prostration. I
was unable to eat or sleep. I tried several phys
icians, but tliey only helped me for a short lime.
A friend advised me to 1 nke Dr. Pierce's Vavorite
Prescription. Dr. Pierce"s Golden Medical Dis
covery and 'Pellets,' I commenced taking 'he
medicines last May Took three bottles of the
'Favorite Prescription.' three of the 'Golden
Medical Discovery.' and three vials of the ' Pel
lets,' and am now feeling better than I have for
two vears. Have a good appetite, sleep well,
aud bo not suffer from indigestion or nervous
ness. I have pained seven and a half pounds
since taking these medicines. I have recom
