PHILIPPINES
COME UP NEXT
Matter of the Disposal of the Islands
to be Taken Up for Consideration
at the Xoxt Joint Session of the
Peace Commission, Which Will Be
Held Next Week. .
Paris, Oct, 27. The Spanish peace
commissioners have accepted the nego
tiative view of the United States com
missioners toward the proposed assump
tion by the United StateB of the Cuban
debt.
The American commissioners have
firmly but courteously declined to as
sume tor the United States entire or
joint responsibility for Spanish financial
conditions, and the Spanish commis
sioners have finally abandoned the effort
and have agreed that the Cuban article
of the protocol shall, without conditions,
have a place in the ultimate treaty of
peace. Thus Spain agrees to' relinquish
sovereignty over any claim to Cuba
without either terms or conditions. All
differences, if any existed regarding
Porto Rico and the cession of the island
of Guam, were also arranged by mutual
understanding, and the commissioners
found themselves well nigh touchinz
the Philippine question, which will be
taken up next week. The session of
the joint commissioners, which began
today at 2 p. m., ended at 4.
Washington, Oct. 27. News of the
Spanish concessions at Paris was re
ceived here with satistaction. Inquiry
in official circles develops the fact that
lone concession as to Cuba our commis
sioners will make will be to guarantee
Ifor the United States that Spanish life
and property shall be secure in Cuba.
I This responsibility the United States
I will assume only until such time as a
stable government shall be operative in
Cuba.
Undue significmc? has been attached
te the dispatch ot a special messenger
from Washington yesterday to the pres
ident at Philadelphia.
WEAKEN ON
THE EVACUATION
IRcquest Another Joint Conference With
the Americans and Promise to Fix
a Date for Completing the Evacua
tion. New York, Oct. 27. A Herald special
rom Havana says: A joint session of the
wo commissions will be held soon.
eneral Parrado sent a communication
o General Wade, asking if the Ameri
cana would consent to another joint ses
sion. General Wade had previously
given notice that he and his associates
jwere tired of meeting without result,
Und would not again confer with the
hommibsioners in formal session unless
there was some probability of an agree
dent on the date of the evacuation.
A frank talk General Butler had with
General Parrado a few days ago, re
sulted in this request for a joint session,
o which the Americans today assented,
aying they would set the date later.
From an American commissioner it is
i
learned that this session will almost
certainly result in making arrangements
for evacuation. Spain will agree to with
draw her troops by January 1st and re
linquish sovereignty by December let.
STORM ON THE
LAKES FURIOUS
Chicago's Water Front Badly Battered
in Spots. Severity of the Blow
Was the Greatest Since 1894.
Chicago, Oct. 27. Chicago's lake
front is battered in spots from the In
diana state line to Evanston and beyond,
as the result of the storm which found
a center here during the last two days.
While no lives have been reported lost,
the severity of the blow forty-eight
miles an hour at its worst was the
greatest since the gale of 1894, when the
shore was strewn with wrecks and many
sailors perished.
The total damage is estimated at $81
500. The objects that suffered most
were the Lake Shore promenades and
walls, whose bugh rocks and flags were
battered down and tossed around like
chips by the waves. The Lincoln Park
board has suffered most in this respect.
It will require $35,000 to replace its
wrecked ways.
An indication of the fury of the storm
is the fact that the official clock in the
hydrographic office in the Masonic tem
ple was Btopped by the vibration of the
big building. The hands pointed to 6 :45
p. m.t when the pendulum ceaeed to
swing. Lieutenant Wilson says all
clocks on the upper floors of high office
buildings were similarly affected.

ALGER AGAIN
URGED TO ACT
Prompt Measures Demanded if Atneri
merican Prestige is to be Main
tainedEvacuation Commissioners
Continue to Advise the Sending of
American Warships to Havana.
New York, Oct. 27. A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says :
General Butler has warned Secretary
Alger that some show of strength must
be made soon or America will loose all
prestige with the Cubans. This warn
ing has been given emphasis by the re
ported return to the hills of a band of
insurgents who had been encamped near
Sagua. These men sent word to Gen.
Betancourt that their condition was in
tolerable. In the hills they could live
as they had for three years, and if the
American troops took possession of the
island they would harass them as long
as life was left.
It is believed this move was counseled
by several fiery leaders. Only fifty men
are Baid to have gone out, but others are
likely to follow them any day. Accord
ing to General Gomez it would take ten
thousand men to capture fifty insurgents
fighting as guerillas in the mountains.
The insurgents in the vicinity of Havana
are quiet, but they are far from being
sitisfied.
The American evacuation commission
continues to advise the sending of war
ships here, but can get no reply from
Washington. The reason may be that
Admiral Sampson has refused to join
General Wade in recent requests.
Matanzas merchants complain of the
lawless conduct of the insurgents, who
still assert their right to levy contribu
tions upon Eugar estates. J. Luris, head
of a firm of merchants and estate owners
of Matanzas, said that the leader,of the
local insurgents had demanded a tax for
the preservation of property from attack.
Luris refused on the ground that the
war had ended. The next day the Cu
bans in force took possession of a band
of cattle, which were slaughtered and
the meat was distributed among the
men.
The work of preparing for the landing
of American troops is progressing as
rapidly as possible. An officer connect
ed with the quartermaster's department
has prepared a list of addresses of all
available mechanic? and laboring men
in the city. If necessary a large number
of men can be placed at work building
wharfs, railroad spurs and hospitols at
one day's notice.
