SHOULD KEEP PHILIPPINES. LONDON. Oct. l.-Oenera Wesley MerrHt today said: "If the Plllplnoa were allowed Inde pendence now. It would result In fighting between the leaders, which would be more dlsaatrous than any revolution which haa hitherto broken out. "While some of the Filipino are able, I am. not acquainted with anyone of them who la capable of governing. I do not believe tbe Inaurrente will renlxt the Americans. Hut there la one certainty they will never aubmlt again to be ruled by the Spankmla. If America tftkes poaM-eslon of the Philippine Islands II will result In new era to the Fill pinoa and for our own country.

UNITED STATES ASSUMES CUBAN MUNICIPAL DEpT. Considered a Victory for tbe Spanish C'ommtssron, but Pronounced a Jua Concession by Lawyers.' . . ... i i NBW TORK. Oct. U.-A aiapaicn to the World from Waehlngton say The United Statea will accept tbe In debtedness of the Cuban mumcipaJltlee, but will 001 axree to pay or guarantee any portion of the general Cuban debt. This atatembent was made V) the New Tor- World- correspondent by tbe high, est authority In Washington at thla time. There can be no doubt to to Its correct ness. By this recession from the wi Iglnal Instructions to the American commission. the Spanish commission haa won a rlc tory. Tbe Inatructlone to the American commission were that they were not to discuss the question of the Cuban qx Porto Rlcan debt, Tbe debt of the municipalities of Cuba will be assumed by the United 8i:ta and prorated among the municipalities when permanent government Is established. In making thla concession the Americans were actuated by a desire to protect American Interests. The water works. electric lighting glant- and other mu nicipal Improvements were largely con structed by Amertraji capital, the bond being guaranteed by" tbe Spanish govern ment State officials say that the assumption of the Cuban municipal debt waa con templated from the outset. In the event of Spain making the plea that the In debtedness waa Incurred In improving the conditions of the Island. This view la Indorsed by International lawyers. Aa Spain did not derive benefit from the money eipended In Improvements In the Island It la only proper that the United Statea assume the Indebtedness for mu nicipal works. The contract already made for municipal Improvements will also be honored by the American govern ment. ... ,' TOWN OF WELLINGTON MAT BE 8W ALLOWED UP. Has Been Undermined and Indication!

No similar event ver held witbln tbe Auditorium, surpassed In b'U llancy and simple elegance the banquet tt tonight : ' Twelve hundred guests, among them men prominent In all branches of busi ness, science, and art. men of brilliant record upon the' sea, and men tamed for deeds of arms done on shore, were, a'amllng by their chairs" when a Up from the gavel of Franklin McVeagb, the presiding officer, announced the. ap proach'of President McKlnley.

President McKlnley, -announcing that be would re ply to the toast. "Our Country." It was several minutes before the cheering had subsided sufficiently to allow tbe presi dent's voice to be heard. He said: "It affords me gratification to meet the people of tbe city of Chicago and to par ticipate with them In this patriotic cele bration. Upon the suspension of hostil ities of a foreign war, the first In our history for over half a century, we have met In a spirit of peace, profoundly grateful for the ajlorlous advancement already made, and earnestly wishing in the final termination to reallie an equally glorious fulfillment. witii nn foelinr of exultation, but with profound thankfulness, we contemplate the events of the pastrflve months. They have been too serious to admit of boast ing or valngloriftcaiion. They have been so full of responsibilities. Immediate and prospective as to admonish the soberest Judgment and counsel the most conser vative action. This la not the time to flre ttje Imagination, but richer, to dis cover, calmly, the way to truth and Jus tice and when discovered, to follow It with ndeiitv and courage, without fear, hesitation, or weakness. "The war haa put upon the nation grave responsibilities. Their extent was not anticipated and could not have been well foreseen. We cannot escape the obli gations of victory. We cannot avoid the serious questions which have been brought home to us by the achievements of our arms on land and sea. We are bound, In conscience, to keep and per form the covenants which the war has sacredly sealed with mankind. Accept ing war for humanity's sake, we must accept all oblfeatlons which the war In duty and honor Imposes upon us. "The splendid victories we have achiev ed would be our eternal shame and not our everlasting glory If they led to the weakening of our original lofty purpose or to the desertion of the Immortal prin ciples on which the national trovernment waa founded and In accordance with whose ennobling spirit It has ever Blnce been faithfully administered. The war with Spain was undertaken not that the United states snouiu in crease Its territory, but that oppression at our very doors should be stopped. This noble sentiment must continue to animate us and we must give to the world the full demonstration of the sin cerity of our purpose. "Duty determines destiny. Destiny which results from duty performed may bring anxiety and perils, but never fail ure and dishonor. Pursuing duty may not always le,ad by smooth paths). An other course may look easier and more attractive, but pursuing duty for duty's sake Is always sure and safe and honor able. foretell the future an.lj so solve unerring lylts mighty- problems. Almighty .God; has his Plans and methods for human progress, and not Infrequently they axe shrouded for the tlms being in Impene trable mystery. "Looking buckrtrd we enn so how the hand of destlnv bullded for u and asulgned us tanks whose full nir-nnlug was not apprehended even by tho wlnest tatt-amon of Ihi-lr tlnv-s. Our colonial ancestors did not enter upon their war originally for Independence. Abraham Lincoln did not start put to free the slaves, but to save the Union. Tbe war with Bpalo was not of our seeking, and some of its consequences may not be to- ' our liking. Our vision la often defective. Short-slgbtedncsa la a common malady, 1 but tha closer we get to thing", or thy get to us. the clearer our view and the Use obscure our duty.

Oct -During th. crtish to see President Mckinley to Trent or tb Union League club today, terrible lees of t life wa narrowly aVerted. A portion of the 'crowd .started to push ha way toward tb clubhouse when tbe po lice called on a detachment of soldier and marines for aid. but they, "too, er' powerless 4o control th crowd. Finally, after desperate pushing,, the ' marines managed to clear a small spac through, and, forming In line, they fixed bayonets, and, standing shoulder to shoulder, tried to hold back the crowd. Tbe thing waa, however, beyond th power of mortpl man. and, seeing that the bayonets must Inevitably result In loss of life. If kept on tne level, tha marines snatched them oft and then It was all over. Marines, soldiers and policemen were mixed In the crowd, utterly helpless, and lacking even, the abl.ty to raise their hands to their shoulders, so closa was the crowd packed. After nearly half an hour of hard work the crowd waa thinned so that a long breath was pos sible, and comparative quiet waa re stored. No Uvea, were K)st t ( -1 -. f ' .
