rfir a Ay THE DALLES, OREGON. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1898. VOL. XI NO 193 SPANISH REJECT THE PROPOSALS Negotiations Have Not Been Broken Off. COUNTER PROPO SITION NOT MADE Points Involved, However, Were Out side of the American Propositions Americans Will Patiently Weigh Points Involved and Consider the Arguments of Spaniards. Paris, Nov. 4. The joint session of the peace commissioners today lasted two hours. The Spaniards refused the proposals made by the Americana on Monday last, bat negotiations were not broken off. While it is believed no for mal counter proposition was made, there was a brief discussion of the Philippine question outside the lines of the Ameri can propositions. The commissioners then adjourned un til Tuesday next. The statement is printed here today with much prominence that the Ameri cans will insiet upon the immediate and complete surrender of Spain's sovereign ty over the Philippines, and in the event of the Spanish commissioners refusing to agree to this, Judge Day, acting under instructions from Washington, will pre eentfin ultimatum to the Spaniards. It is further alleged that this seeming haste is due to a desire to settle the ne gotiation before the electiona in the United States take place. No ultimatum is contemplated, and there is no probability of drastic meas ures being taken by Americans. The two commissions are now considering an open question, and the Americans expect to patiently weigh the points in volved and to carefully consider the ar guments of the Spaniards. Gaulois today eays it has been in formed on absolutely reliable authority that Spain will refuse to discuss the un conditional surrender of the Philippines. The Fondo says, "The claims of the United States on the Philippines are looked upon with disfavor at St. Peters burg. The powers might, in case of the - Americans proving too obstinate on this point, be provoked to protest." Evenment says, " 'Your money or your life' is the attitude taken by the Americans in relation to Spain." Washington, Nov. 4. Up to 1 o'clock nothing has been received from the peace commission at Paris, and, con sequently, the cabinet adjourned. If a cablegram is received during the after noon or eveniDg, another meeting may be called. M'GRATH HAS BEEN CONVICTED Found Guilty of Murder in the First Degree at Albany Jury Was Out All Night. Albany Nov. 3. The jury in the Mc Grath murder case, at 6: 30 o'clock this morning, after being out all night, re turned a verdict of guilty of murder in " the first degree. The prisoner exhibited no surprise. He stood without flinch ing while the verdict was read. He is about 65, and his hair is almost white He has lived in the vicinity of Harris Durg for twenty-five years or more. The evidence showed conclusively that his excitable, jealous disposition led to bis undoing. His wife, and his two sons, who are almbst the age of the murdered boy, were witnesses, and told a straight- forward story of the crime. The evidence of the state's witnesses showed beyond a doubt that McGrath, having armed himself with a revolver, deliberately went into a hayfield where young Tur ner was at work, abused him, and, as be retreated, shot him down. Every line of defense failed, and the verdict was expected. HAS COMPLETELY BACKED DOWN French Government Has Decided Not to Retain the Marchand Mission at Fashoda Paris, Nov. 4. A semi-official note ieeued this evening says the government has resolved not to retain the Mar chand mission at Fashoda, adding that this decision was arrived at by the cabi net, after an exhaustive examination of the question. London, Nov. 4. The most reliable information from Paris confirms the earlier reports that M. Dupuy, the premier, has decided to wash his hands of Fashoda and to recall Maj. Marchand, for whose mission he is not responsible. The decision is, to some extent, due to a desire to allow nothing to interfere with the succees of the exposition of 1900. Today will be important in the history of the crisis. It is expected that Baron de Courcel, the French ambassador, will impart the decision to Lord r Salisbury, who will speak this evening at the banquet to be given the sirdir, General Lord Herbert Kitchner. THE GALLERY COLLAPSED Serious Accident in the Eugene Opera House The People Were Panic Stricken. Eugene, Noy. 4. Tonight at about 10 o'clock, while the people were listening to the performance at the opera house, the room being packed, a section of one of the upper floors, on which were about thirty people, fell, without warning. The lower floor was also crowded. The sec tion of the floor that fell was about eight feet wide and twelve feet long. It was built oat from the wall. The wall sup ports gave way and the floor swung back, precipitating the people to the floor below. Those underneath were caught under the timbers, but miracu lously lew of them were injured. A reg ular panic followed the collapse, but the house was emptied without further in cidents, though another floor creaked and came near going down during the rush. One man had his collar bone broken and a boy about 15 years of age was se verely injured in the back. jBncicieii'a Armca salve.

WHAT GENERAL STONE SAYS Porto Ricans Have Not Been Fairly Treated Since the American Occu pation, and Naturally are Resent' ful Military Government of the Island Thus Far Has Been Far From Satisfactory. New York, Nov. 4. General Roy Stone, who has just returned from Porto Rico, says : The people of Porto Rico are not at all satisfied with American rnle. There is a growing difference between the na tives and the militia which is greatly to be regretted. When the army of occu pation first invaded the island, the na tives received the Americans cordially, and they wished to be treated as people of this country and not as a conquered province. The treatment they have re ceived at our hands has been just the opposite. This has produced a chilly feeling between them. "What the Porto Ricans want is to be taken in as part of the United States. They do not expect to enter the Union as a state, but as a people in training to be advanced to statehood. In addition to this they want free trade with the United States, and there is no reason that I can see why they should not have it. At present they are forced to pay duty on all imported goods, Spanish goods included, which were free before the invasion. "Our military government of the isl and has been far from satisfactory. We have destroyed the Spanish military rule and have not replaced it with Amer ican forces, thus destroying their safe guards to life and property. As a result of this from 150 to 200 of the finest plan tations have been destroyed by fire. Just who is responsible for this I cannot say. "The infantry there is of very little use in policing the island. In addition there should be a civil guard, composed of Porto Rican privates and American officers. Deafness Cannot be Cared by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deafnesR and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eus tachian Tube. When this tube is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous sur faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars ; free. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.
