SYMPATHY OF GERMANS Believed the Empire Would In tervene In the Philippine Controversy. CONTENTION OP SPANISH Claim They Reserve Philippine Sover- clfoty-Mew lostrc;t!::s Sent to the Amerluo Commissioners. NEW YORK. Nov lt-A dispatch to th. Tribune from Madrid lift: Theresultof lheAmrlcancectlons came I. a surprise and disappointment to flag aata who had confidently expected that tho republicans would at least have lost oontrol of th. house of representatives. Th. Spanish cabinet . convinced that th elections unon which It baa been oountlnf to obtain better terms at Paris, hav. resulted In nothing that can aid Spanlah diplomacy. Th. Intended vlalt to Emptor William In honor of which Admiral Camera's squadron la under order, to proceed to CarUgrn.4, now furnishes ano.er straw to clutch at. Th. queen rnt, whoa, health li vis ibly Impaired by th. strain of th. last elrht montha. thinks th. wisest course to be pursued Is for the cabinet to In struct th. Fa.. peace commlarloncrs frankly to couccrfs -.he American de mands for th. Philippines and to work heroically and peacefully to frame a treaty. Th. marked sympathy for Spain ex pressed almost unanimously by the Ger man newspapers, coupled with th. pur chases at Berlin, and Frankfort of Span ish exterior and Cuban bunds, the Ger man holdings of which have been quad rupled during th. laat three months. gives an exaggerated significance to the intended visit of the German emperor and empress. Lord Salisbury's reference to the Amer ican republic as a factor In Asiatic, and possibly European diplomacy, which i might not conduce to the Interests or peace ia widely commented upon here as strengthening the prevailing Impree- , slon that Germans wish to Intervene in the Philippines. All the extreme Weyler- , lies dresd the consequences of a resump tion of hostilities by the United States, i which they are aware will probably In- j volve tho lot's of tho Canaries, and this. In eplte of tho present German Imll'g to tho cloud, remains tho Imputable motive that musi eventually determine the cab inet to re-coiialJer the Instructions that It Is now believed to have been sent to the Spanish peace commissioners. Tho ministry of finance has In hand a project for the conversion of the Spanish exterior bond and the funded debts of Cuba and tho Philippines, the Idea being to maintain the treasury guarantees of Philippine bonda and Cuban bonds and of the ( and & per cent denominations, but to reduce the interest to i and S per cent respectively. This partially accounts for the firmness of Cuban bonds In Paris and Berlin, wiiere speculation In them Is unusually active. ELECTION ATTRACTS INTEREST. (Copyright. 1S9S, by Associated Press.) LONDON. Nov. 11 During the past week the United States has occupied the attention of Europe to a greater degree than at any time since the battle of Santiago. The entry of tho American re- publlo Into the arena of eastern colonisa tion has attractod widespread and varied attention, and never berore nave mo phases and lasues of an American elec tion been so generally and eagerly can vassed and so Intelligently commented on. The supposed endorsement of the so called expansion Idea by the electors of the United States has commanded a j ohorus of approval In Great Britain, while i Journalistic spokesmen In France, Russia and Germany exhibit unanimity of dls approval. SPAIN'S CONTENTION. PARIS, Nov. 12. Spnln has held, and may still Insist, that she effectually re served her rhlllpplno sovereignty from discussion or disturbance by tho United States In n note from Puko Almodovar del Rio, tho Spanish minister of foreign affairs, to Judge Day, then United States secretary of state, dated Madrid August 7. It Is by this message that Spain presumably accepted the terms of peace which, at Spain's request, had been sot forth by President McKlnley through Secretary Day, under date of July SO. And It Is by this message of Duke Al- modovar del Rio and by response of Sec retary Day that Spain seeks to prove to the United States peace commission and to th. tribunal of nations that Spain's sovereignty over th. Philippine Islands was reserved from any discussion here, and without protest from the United States. In the letter In question, Duke Almodovar del Rio says Spain did not declare war, and only engaged In It to defend her rights. He acknowledges the necessity of Spain's quitting; the Island of Cuba, and says she will do so, INSTRUCTIONS TO COMMISSION. WASHINGTON. Nor. 2LThs cabinet bald a session tonight, at which Instruc tions, understood to be of a ftlUve char acter, bearing on the Philippine question, were drafted for dispatch to the Ameri can commissioners In Paris. The Instruc tions to the American representatives admit of no further dlscuaslon as to the right to consider the disposition of the Islands, and state that on Uiat point the Instructions already snt must stand, the only matters for discussion from the American vlesr being the manner of glv ln over the islands. A TEST OF FRIENDSHIP. BERLIN. Nov. 11-Tbe National Zet tuns;, returning to the subject of Lord Salisbury's American Illustrations In his Guild null speech, says: "It may be assumed that England per sistently aims at the acquisition of the Philippines or a portion of them. The American attitude towards this British ambition will afford a fairly accurate teat of the strength of the Anglo-American friendship." DREYFUS WRITES THAT HE 13 ILL AND DYING. His Wife Asks Permission to Wire Him That His Case Will Be Retried, But la Refused. PARIS, Nov. ll-Madame Dreyfus, K Is said, applied at the office of the coloni al minister yesterday for permission to send her husband some warm clothing for his return home. Her request was refused on the ground that the government would do whatever was neceaaary. At the same time the authorities read to her a letter from her husband to the effect that, having for five months addressed appeals for a revision to General De Bolsdeffre. with out getting any reply, and being wearied nd exhausted by his useless appeals, he would write no more to his family or to anybody. He described himself as 111 and dying and beoueathed "to the gen- ,'eroeity of any country the care of re habilitating my memory." Mm. Dreyfus then asked permission to telegraph her husband the decision of the court of cessation. This request was also refused. Then, through a friend. ' .he annealed to President Faure. but ; with no better results. Her counsel will bring the matter be fore the court of cessation. WORDS OF PRAISE FOR AMERICAN NAVAL OFFICERS. Admiral Cervera. in His Report of the Battle of Santiago. Testifies to Humane Treatment By Them. CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-A speclat to the Times-Herald from Washington says: I In his official report to me epamsn mm i ister of marine describing Ihe battle of Santiago, admiral Cervera gives high pralce to the humane and courteous treatment accorded him end his subird . inates by the American authorities. He 1 speak9 of the efforts made by the Iowa j and Gloucester to save life, of the sollcl ' tudo shown by the Americans for the I comfort of those whom they had taken I prisoners and finally of the generosity ! of the victors In providing so hospitably for them in the United States. Admiral Cervera's report was ror warded to 8paln through the navy de partment, having been translated so that no Information of a valuable character to the enemy might reach Madrid. In the report made Admiral Cervera says: "The result of the battle was never In doubt, but I never thought that my ves sels would be so quickly destroyed. The enemy's fire produced terrible Injuries on board the Maria Teresa, destroying her auxiliary steam pipes and fire mains. I After the commander of the Teresa fell wounded, I myself took command of the ship. In view of the utter impossibility of defending the ship any longer she was directed with the greatest rapidity to the shore to the westward of the Cabraera, where she was stranded at the same mo- I that iai mnohlnerv atOPDed. "The second and third commanders agreed with me that It was impossible longer to prolong the fight. We proposed to haul down the flag, but It was Impos sible on account of the great headway made by the flames. At this time the Are had made such headway that It be came necessary to abandon the ship, and those who were able to do so threw them- solves Into the wator, where they were saved by American boats." Admiral Cervera then gives an account of the destruction of the other vessels and In conclusion tells of the humane and courteous treatment accorded to the Snaniards. NEW CONSUL ARRIVES. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. ll-Clayton PtckersgUl, the new consul general of Great Britain In thts city, has arrived and will soon take charge of his office. DOINGS OF LONDONERS Several Brilliant Society Events Have Taken Place Coring: the Week. HAROLD FREDERIC'S DEATH Msnnerof His Taking: Off Has Aronsed Great Feeling Against Scientists. "THE LIFE OF PAR NELL" Hew Work of tot Career of the Irish Patriot Appeirei List Week, tut Did Hot Fill Expectations. (Copyrighted U3S by Associated Press.) LONDON, Nov. 11 The social gaetles of tho week centered In two br parties. the Duke of Portland's at Welbeck Abbey and the Duke of Newcastle's at bis mansion In Clumber Park. Two splenuid balls were given, the parties of Welbeck Abbey and Clumber exchanging visits. The Duke of Portland's guests Included the Duke and Duchess of Con naught. Lord and Lady Cunon, of Kendleston, M'. A. J. Balfour and Lady Randolph Churchill, while Mr. Henry White, the: United States charge d'affaires, ran down for Wednesday's ball at Clumber, re turning to town In time to attend the requiem mass for the repose 01 the soul of Lady Cromer on Friday which was a vers Impressive function. The Prince of Wales has been giving a men's bouse party at Sandringham, and his blrthde.v. on November . was E celebrated very quietly owing to the re cent death of the Queen of Denmark. The usual dinner to the people employed on his estate waa omitted, but each fam ily was given a quantity of provisions Instead. The prince Is now well enough to take part in the shooting which Is about to commeoce aft Sandrlnghasn. He only occasionally needs the use of a 'lck In walking and intends to pass the winter quietly, going abroad after Christmas and remaining on the conti nent until Easter. The queen has moved the court from Balmoral to Windsor, where she will re side for about three weeks, thence going to Osborne, Isie of Wight. It appears that her majesty recently expressed her views on the marriage of members of the English aristocracy with American girls, from the breadth of their education Independence and rapid changing life are better able to adapt themselves to a new environment than the more stoic English girls. The queen also thinks it unfair to Insinuate that mercenary mo tives are the frequent causes of mar riages of Impoverished nobles to Ameri can heiresses. The revelations made at the Inquest over the remains of Harold Frederic, correspondent of the New York Times, who died on October 19 at Kanley, have aroused considerable feeling against Christian Scientists. Canon Rlton, in preaching at Westminster Abbey, at tracted attention to this matter by a vehement protest against the growth of this and kindred seots. He Is a fash ionable preacher end addresses a great social congregation, many of whom are well known to be Christian Scientists, who number among their recruits Lady Dunmore and Lady Ablnger. Canon Rlton warmly denounced the "greedy belief In quakery, which is now prevalent," and emphasised the fact that this spirit of credulity is growing -with enormous expansion of education and mechanical and scientific progress, said: 'Boston Is the most cultured, city of the most progressive nation In the world, et parts of Boston are given up to me diums, wlxards and astrologers." As an Instance of this he said: "A party of women In Boston recently dressed them' selves In white and sat up all night long watting for the mlllenlum. Yet the United States Is a practical country." A curious Instance of muscular Chris tianity, arising out of a ritualistic con troversy, has occurred in the Parish church of Clevedon, Somersetshire, where the antl-rltuallsts deemed to In terfere with the service. The vicar then announced that In response to hi9 sug gestion, he had received a gift of brass Birmingham "knuckles." which he added he had distributed among the members of the choir and orchestra, enjoining them to use the "knuckles" freely if any obstruction of the service was of fered. The next Sunday he added that he himself had carried "knuckle dusters" for the past 20 years. IiOrd Curton. of Kedlestone, the now viceroy of Indta, and Lady Curson, win start for India on December R They evidently Intend to make a lavish be ginning of their hospitality, as they have already ordored 10.100 ball programmes, S.500 evening party cards, J.C00 garden party cards. t,M0 dinner party Invita tion cards, (too "at borne" cards and 1J00 menu cards. It appears that be fore assuming the title young Curson, called upon Baron Curson, the title borne by Earl Howe, head of ths Curson-Howe families, and asked him i he objected to his so doing. Ths baron said b. had no objection If Curson tin dertook to be known as Baron Cunon . of Kendleston and allow ths title to drop whsn h. succeeds bis father s Lord Soarsdale. Th lonr expected "Ufa of PSTne!!,"' by Barry O'Brien, was published this week by Smith It Elder, and has been lengthily reviewed by the British press. It Is generally admitted that Mr. O'Brien has done his work well and Im partially. But the volumes are none ths leas disappointing. They are mors In ths nature of a political biography than a boswelllan portrait. There are. nowev.r, some Interesting revelations In regwd to the Clan-na-gael which, K appears, sent an agent to London to discuss the' question of united action wtth Mr. Par. nell. But ths conference came to nothing. Mr. O'Brien says Mr. ParneH had the strongest sympathies with Fenlanlsm, but vras resolved "not to be managed by Fenians nor aided by any force what ever." In another place, Mr. O'Brien says: "It Is Idle to shirk the truth. The national league of America was run by revolutionists who were held In check, so far ss they were held In check at all, by the fact that they bad Parnell to deal with." CALIFORNIA BEET SUGAR OUTPUT WILL BB LARGE. More Will Be Produced the Coming Year Than Ever Before Sugar Vessels Beirut Built SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. It-There will be more sugar produced In California dur ing the coming year than ever before In a twelve-month. The Union Sugar Company will have its new plant at Santa Maria running with a capacity of 1000 tons of beets a day. The Hueneme factory win use 1000 tons of beets a day. Sprockets factory at Salinas, the largest In the world, has a capacity of 3000 tons a day. Los Anl- mos factory, near Los Ange.es, owned by Clark, the millionaire mining man of Montana. It Is said, has doubled 4ts ca pacity and will handle TOO tons a day. Ths Oxnarda factory at Chlno will take cars of 800 tons a day, and the Crockett fac tory, owned by Rittel ft Co., about 600 tons a day. In addition to the California factories Utah Is to have a new one. and a new on near Baker City. Ore., which had a short run this year, will be in full blast in 1S. The capacity of the Baker City factory Is about 3S0 tons a day. There Is a shortage of deep water ves sea vessels available tor the Hawaiian sugar trade and as a consequence much of the product of the Islands will pass through this city, less going direct to New York than in previous seasons. Three large vessels Intended for the su gar traffic are now being built on this coast. ASKS PROHIBITIVE DUTY. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. ll-Henry T. Oxnard, president of the American Beet Suw Producers' Association, will ask President McKlnley and congress to establish protective rates against the Im portation of goods from the Philippines and elsewhere, so that home producers will at least have the advantage of be ing on a nar with the cheap labor, soil and climate conditions of the newly ac quired territory. HER HANDWRITING IDENTIFED. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 11-Danlel Ames, the noted handwriting expert of New York, has arrived here and carefully examined the documents In the Botkln case. He Is said to have declared that Mrs Botkln wrote the note accompanying the drur-ed candy and that she was also the author of the anonymous letters to Mrs. J. P. Dunning. WHALING BARKS TIE UP.
