A PEACE DEADLOCK AT PARIS
The Commissioners Willing to Sign the
Treaty II We Assume the Philippine
Debt Trouble May Arise.
IMMUNES IN A RIOT.
SEQUEL TO A SEA TRAGEDY. I PACIFIC COAST TRADE.
1 Paris, Nov. 17. The Spaniards .de
clare that their refusal to sign a treaty
'based on any Philippine terms thus far
suggested by the United States is irre
vocable. They say that they do not
and cannot view the taking of the Phil
ippines as anything else than a wanton
ravishment of their possessions, nnless
it is aocompanied by a financial con
sideration of appreciable size. There
fore, the turn ot events in the peace
-conference depends upon the purpose
or the willingness of the American
commissioners to extend then finanoial
terms.
The Spanish sovereignty in the Phil
ippines is now clung to by the Span
iards chiefly as a means to obtain
financial relief, if possible.
Persons near to Spain' creditors be
lieve that, should the Americans as
sume the Philippine debt, or pay Spain
its face amount in cash, the Spaniards
would sign.
If they have not already done so, the
Spanish commissioners will ultimately
advise the Americans that they must
not permit any controversy as to the
binding character of the mortgage rest
ina upon the revenue of the Philip
pines to pay the so-called Philippine
debt. TenaciouS adherence to this
claim would set up on the Spanish side
- an ultimatum under whioh no treaty
-would be signed whiob did not stipu
late that the Philippine revenues should
pay the Philippine debt.
. In such event, the Amerloans would
-probablv claim - that the Philippine
debt of '$40,000,000 amounts to $20.
, '000,000 in gold, of which about $11,
000,000 has been employed in fighting
the United States, leaving less than
l 0.000.000 chareeable in sold to the
' Philippines. Indeed, the United States
would doubtless contend that even the
reduced amount was used in fighting
" the Filipinos and object to the Spanish
conclusion that it is a fair charge
against the Americans.
Trouble will arise, however, before
that stage is reaohed, as the Spanish
commissioners will undoubtedly inform
the Americans that the latter have no
tight to exact a schedule of Spain's ex
penditures or any explanation regard
ing the destination of the money
secured on these loans.
A Spaniard who is posted as to the
exact status of affairs, informed the
correspondent this evening that he did
not believe the Spanish commissioners
would take their final stand at tomor
row's session, although he thought it
possible that they might finally decline
to continue the discussion except with
in the limits of Spain's construction of
the protocol. This is another way of
saying Spain may oease her conten
tions. Should she do bo she would
make an open protest to the world
against "spoliation."
WORK OF AN INDIANA MOB.
Murderous Shooting Affray Near 8an-
tineo Four Persons Killed.
Santiago de Cuba, Nov. 17. An in
cident occurred laBt night at San Luis,
about 25 miles north of "Santiago, which
caused a great deal of ill-fetlhig among
the Cubans and considerable annoyance
among the United States military offi
cials here.
All the colored regiments are en
camped in the neighborhood of San
Luis. They were sent there virtually
to got them out of the way, because of
the difficulty experienced in managing
them. The colored officers seem te
have little or no control over their
men, and officers and privates are often
teen drinking together, with arms
around each other's neck, and behaving
in other ways not calculated to inspire
respect for the American troops among
the Cubans.
It was not expected that the colored
soldiers could do much harm in San
Luis district, which was chosen on
that principle. The trouble began laBt
evening in an attempt to arrest two sol
diers for abusing a Cuban workman
and stealing his hog. The outrage
was committed on the Normas sugar
plantation. Lieutenant Jose Ferrora,
chief of Goneral Wood's gendarmes in
that section, a Spaniard but a Cuban
sympathizer, and a man whom Gen
eral Wood knew to De able and courage
ous, attempted to make the arrests.
The soldiers, who belonged to the
Ninth immunes, escaped. Soon after,
80 colored men. wearing the uniforms
of the United States army, attacked
the house where Lieutenant Ferrora
was and kept up a regulai fusilade,
killing Lieutenant Ferrora,' Antonio
Roman, an eld man; Emilo Betteran,
a boy of 17, and a baby, and wounding
several others. Two soldiers wei
killed in the affray.
Andersen, the Olive Pecker Murderer,
Must Hang.
- Washington, Nov. 16. The United
States supreme court has affirmed the
judgment of the lower court and denied
a writ ofhabeas corpus to John Ander
sen, convicted and sentenoed to be
hanced after his trial in Norfolk, Va.,
for the 'murder of the mate of the Olive
Pecker.1 '
The Andersen oase has attracted
widespread attention, beng a sea
tragedy of singular romance -and atro
oity. The schooner Olive Pecker sailed
from Boston, laden with lumber, for a
tioint on the Platte river. Brazil. When
150 miles off the coast of Brazil, An
dersen. a Swede, bad an altercation
with the captain. When the latter re
tired to the cabin. Andersen followed
and shot the captain dead. He then
armed himself heavily and went on
deck, where, mounted on the fore
castle, he terroiized all on board. The
mate, who was aloft, was called down,
and while pleading for his life, was
shot four times. Then the crew were
ordered to throw the dying mate over
board, and on protesting that he was
not dead, were assured that he was
"dead enough." ThiB done, the ciew
were marched below at the point of a
Distol and oidered to throw the captain
overboard, i Then Andersen direoted
that oil be thrown over the lumber,
after whioh the oil-soaked ship was set
afire and the murderous crew took to
the boats.
Andersen was apprehended at Bahia,
Brazil, and sent north on the United
States cunboat Lancaster. He was
tried and convicted in the United
States oourt at Norfolk, Va., and
stubborn fight was made up to the SU'
preme court, the conviction being con
firmed. The last move was m the

-Colored Democratie Stump Speaker
Brutally Beaten.
Beymour, Ind., Nov. 15. Tonight a
masked and armed mob took out of jail
J6bn Baird, a colored Democratic stump
speaker, who had been imprisoned on
the charge of obtaining money by false
pretenses. Once outside, the mob beat
him with gads, pounded him over the
head with revolvers, and ordered him
to leave the town at onoe. Instead of
obeying the order, he went to the pros
ecuting attorney and sheriff for protec
tion. Half an hour later he accompa
nied the sheriff and posse in search for
members of the mob. It is not known
whether or not the assault upon him
was inspired by political spite.

Captain McCalla Believes the Oruiser

Washington, Nov. 17. In a cable

Captain McCalla sayB:
"After a careful examination of the
stranded ship and the situation, and
careful consideration of instructions
from the department, appreciating the
great intereBt taken by the nation and
government in the fate of the Teresa, I
regret exceedingly to express the opin
ion that it is hopeless to expect to res
cue the ship. Craven, Blow, Hobson
and Crittenden confirm my opinion.
The wreck is sttanded in from 16 to 21
feet of water, with her head to the
northward."
After describing the condition of the
wreck, he says:
"In oonBiderina the practicability
of rescuing the Teresa, the fact must
be considered that she lies upon a coral
reef, with but a thin layer of sand,
on the windward side of an island
constantly exposed to fraadw) :o trade

REVOLUTION IN SALVADOR.
The People Dissatisfied 'With the New
Federation
New York, Nov. 17. A cable dis
patoh received in this oity from Liber
tad, Nicaragua, says that a revolution
has broken out in Salvador.
It is only a fortnight since Salvador,
Honduras and Nioaragua joined their
destinies and formed the United States

commercial men in this city who are
familiar with affairs in Central
America, however, were not surprised
when informed that a revolution in
Salvador was reported to have bioken
Out. ';' '
While the federation of the three
countries was approved and carried out
by the presidents and commissioners
appointed from each country to draw
up a constitution, the people of Salva
dor were not enthusiastic over the new
Scheme, particularly as it appears that
the financial burdens of the new state
will fall most heavily npon them.
constitutional rights were invaded when
the lower oourt assigned him counsel
instead ol giving him his own choice.
Chief Justioe Fuller, in announcing
the court's decision, said the records
of the case showed that no fundamental
right had been denied Andersen, but
that he had been represented from first
to last by able counsel. The time when
oounsel was not present was at a pre
liminary hearing of Andersen, but this
was not used in the subsequent trial.
The decision of the lower court was
affirmed. The effect of this will be to
have the execution, which had been
stayed until December 9 next, carried
out. -

Gross Receives the Last
Summons.
Baltimore, Md.. Nov. 16. Arch
bishop Gross' death at St. Joseph's
hospital today was not wholly unex
pected, but it was thought he might
live several days longer. His condition
had improved some'days ago. but. early
yesterday morning he began to sink and
grew worse rapidly. Death resulted at
8:15 A. M. from valvular heart disease.
Archbishop Gross oame East to at
tend the convention of archbishops held
in Washington, but was taken sick in
Baltimore, and went to St. Chailes' col
lege, wbe-e he conducted a retreat,
afterwards going to Annapolis for a
sh6rt stay. He was broneht from there
to Baltimore by his biotlnr, and taken
at onoe to St. Joseph's hospital, ine
body will be removed to the home of
his cousin, Mrs. Catherine R. Rey
nolds, 207 East North avenue.

Cardinal Gibbons will conduct a
high mass of requiem at the oathedral.
The seminarians of St. Marys semi
nary will chant 'he office for the dead,
and will attend the funeral in a body.
Cardinal Gibbons regarded Archbish
op Gross as a most able man, an earnest
worker and a good friend. Speaking of
him tonight, the cardinal said: ,
"He was an untiring missionary,
first n Georgia and then in Oregon,
and lost his strength by zealous work
in behalf of Christianity; he was in
domitable in the seivioe of God, and
died from hard work. In his death
the country loses a good man."
