SPANIARDS TIE DEBT TO SOVEREIGNTY Oar Peace Commissioners, However, Give Their Con? struction Differently. PROTOCOL'S TEB3?S Fads, Oct. 17 -The peace com missioners held a joint session and. ad* journed to meet next Wednesday. Daring the day's session the com? missioners were occupied with the consideration of the Spanish pre sentation of Tuesday last and the American answer, submitted on Fri? day, relating to Coba and the debt of the island. The examination of the American written canvass on the subject was not concluded to-day ?nd will be continued at the next joint meeting, following which the Spaniards will doubtless reply in writing, the conclusion of the subject coon following. The preliminaries regarding Cuba ?re so advanced that the Spaniards will not fail to understand the United States4 determination not to assume part or the whole of the so called Cuban <iebt of $400,000,000 It should not, however, be understood that the Americans, daring the course of the controversy have been unmindful of certain local burdens, like the municipal obligations of the Coban cities, railroads and kindred properties, local and permanent It's forgotten, however, that the Ameri can attitude in Cuba is held not to be that of an acquiring power, either of territory or of its real cr construct? ive obligations. The opposing Span ?.ards keenly contend that sovereignty involves bardens as well as blessings, sud that both should pass together from Spain. Close following this contention the Spaniards are pressing for a construc? tion of the word "relinquish" in the Coban article of the protocol "We must," they urge, "relinquish sovereignty over Cuba, bat to whom ? We have not agreed to relinquish it to the Cabans-we relinquish it fo the United States." Thus cryatal ising their reasoning and insistence, the Spaniards bind debt and sover? eignty together and urge that the re lioquishment must be to the United States While this contention is keenly and vigorously supported it has not shaken the position of the Ameri? cans, who cot the thread of the Spanish sovereignty in the middle of the word "relinquish" by practically assuring tbs Spaniards that they need not cherish anxiety as to whom to relinquish, but to conform to the fourth article of the protocol, which pledges Spain, "that Coba, Puerto Rico and the other Spanish islands in the West Indies shall be immediately evacuated.'7 Briefly, the American response to Spanish diplomacy of construction and definition was that the words "relinquish" and ..evacuate" are interchangeable and have the same meaning. Thus, three sessions were given up patiently meeting Spain's views aud contentions touching the prqto col pledge to relinquish sovereignty over the Antilles and title to Cuba, and there is a possibility of two ses siena more AGONCILLO TALKS. Paris, Oct. 17 -Felipe Agoncillo, the representative of Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader of the Philippine -islands, was interviewed to day by the correspondent here of the Aseo ciated Press Agoncillo's apart ments at the Hotel Continental are on the same floor as the rooms occu? pied by the United Slates peace com? missioners He is desirous of see? ing the commissioners aud placing Aguinaldos views of the future of the Philippine islands before our com missioners. "Wouid the Filipinos accept an nexation or protectorate of the Uni? ted States ?" Agoncillo was asked, j He answered . "We want inde psndeoce, but the Filipinos have a recognized government, of which Aguinaldo is president, and ft will determine oar attitude toward a pro? tectorate or annexation % Should the United States take all or any part of the Philippines would the Filipinos fight the United 'States as they fought Spain ?" "i cannot answer without possible error, bot I think it would be unwise for the United 3tates to divide the Philippine islands. They should take all or none ;; "If the United States give up the IJbilippine islands, will the Filipinos continae to fight the Spanish ?" 4 1 think so." "Is it true the Filipinos do not object to the continuance of the na ti ve priests ?" "Yes, but the religious orders should be abolished.'' Agoncillo, contrary to the gener? ally accepted version of his visit in the United States and elsewhere, says he has not come here to seek a hearing before the commission, but to learn the determination of the commissioners regarding the Philip? pine islands and to communicate it to Aguinaldo Agoncillo, thus far, bas not communicated with our commis? sion, and the Spanish commission, while unwilling to sammon Agoncii lo, is exceedingly anxious to know what representations, if any, he will make to the Americans London. Oat 18.-A dispatch to a London Dews agency from Paris, say? : ?*To-day 'Monday) the confereoce re? ported a crisis fer me first tima. Judge Day presented, tbe demands of the American com omission er?, in threating words. He said that delay was the only possible object attainable by thc persistent efforts cf the Spanish cots? missioners to saddle tac Uuited Slates with the Cabao dcb: and would be to! erated no longer, as the United States would neither assume nor guarantee any part of the deb.. '.The Spaniards replied that this placed Spain io a position of repudia? ting or reducing the face value bf the Cuban bonds from 50 to 60 per cent., ? payi?g 0D\7 bal? the stipulated inter? est on the reduced value. Before they would adopt either alternative, they would surrender to the United States the entire Philippines "Judge Dav responded that the sur? render of the Philippioes would proba? bly be demanded irrespective cf the Cuban or other debt. - "This, to the Spaniards, the first in timatioo of the intentions of' the United Scares as to tho Philippines, resulted in a whispered conf?rence, followed by a request for an adjournment in order to communicate with Mad rd Judge Day said (hat President McKinley bad iostraoted him to demand the entire surrender of Puerto Rico to-morrow (Tuesday), and the delivery of every town to the United States offioers before midnight, together with the evacuation cf Habana on or before November 1, when thc United States would be at the gates of the city ready to take possession. .'There was no alternative offered in the case of either of these demands, ! and the session consequently was very brief. The American commissioners have received dispatches from Wash? ington indicating that the administra? tion is irritated and indignant over the delay of the Spanish commissioners.'7 The Paris correspondent of the Times says : "At the sitting of the peaee commission this (Monday) after? noon the American commissioners offi? cially-and it would seem definitely rejected the idea of accepting sover? eignty over Cuba for thc United States. "According to impressions I have been able to collect in various circles unconnected with either side, but en? titled to weight, the refusal of the United States is sot of so positive a character as would at first seem to re sait from the formal declaration men? tioned. "The United States quite compre? hend that their firm refusal to accept sovereignty does not exclude obligation, on the footing of justice and equity, to make Spain real concessions as to Soar, ! oial burdens which would be crushing if she were saddled irita j the whole Caban debt. We may be certain thar on this point the Americans will be less lo flexi ble than on the principle of sov? ereignty." - i i ? - A Paris Correspondent's Ver? sion of the Matter. London. Oct 17 -The Paris cor respondent of the Times says : "The Spanish peace commissioners, to show their cordiality, have accepted a graceful invitation to dice with Gen. Horace Porter, the American ambassador, on Tuesday. Unfortu? nately this does not make agreement or progress more speedy "In reply to the Spanish statement the American commission have de dared that the United States refuses to assume sovereignty over Cuba, but would remain in the island to organize normal orde* and security before handing it over to the authority of the government of the new republic The Spaniards, however, remark that there cannot be an interregnum of sovereignty and that a state cannot be left derelict, as such a situation would be simple anarchy. "It should be mentioned that in Cuba there is an American evacua? tion commission on one hand and a Spanish commission on the other, and the many interests still possessed by Spain in Cuba would not be guaran? teed if such anarchy existed. "It is, therefore, a pure fiction, says the Spaniards, if the Americans declare they cannot discuss the debt of Cuba and tba internal affairs of the isiand. In such a case, to be log ioal, Cuban instead of American-cum missioners, should meet Spain in Paris, as in Cuba The war department has refused to muster Colonel W. J. Bryan's regi ment out of the service in accordance with what is believed to be the de sire of its members. Now that the fighting is all over, and a great many regiments have been relieved from further service, there is no good rea? son <vhy Colonel Bryan's regiment should not be mustered out Accord ing to our notion of the matter, it is only small politics It will be re membered that when Colonel Bryan first volunteered his services for the war, the Enquirer suggested thal he was in danger of shabby treatment, and the facts are developing just about that way. But the administra? tion is not very smart about this mat? ter. If it were real smart, it would have mustered out the Third Nebras ka at the very first intimation that the regiment wanted to quit -York ville Enquirer. -------^0----t ?Spanish Idea of the American Soldier Why the War Departmei Will Send a Large Force to Cuba. i Washington, Oct. 17.-Informatii has reached the war department th a high officer of the Spanish am j very recently made a statement tb I had the Spaniards been aware of tl j condition of the American army, j s inability to withstand the hardship of a campaign, its lacks of medic anoN)ther supplies and general inef ciency as told in the Americi papers, the Spaniards would not ha1 given up, but would have continu* fighting for a loug time to com fully believing that they would hai been able to prevent the capture Cuba by American arms. The statement is known to ha^ been made tc the American office now in Coba and causes some unea* ness in official circies as it may mei that the Spaniards are not yet read to yield the isiand under the terms < the protocol. It is believed by officials in Wasl ington that had it not been for tr outcry made regarding the army an the conduct of the war there nev? would have been any question raise by the Spanish peace coramissionei regardiug the Cubau debt. It pointed cut under the protocol tb; the sole question left for the commii sion was the settlement of the Philip pines and that nothing was sai about the Cuban debt or any oth< Cuban question By those who ai in position to know it is asserted tb? the Madrid government was awan when it asked for peace and wbe negotiations were opened, that it W? useless* to ask that the Cuban debt b taken into consideration by any con mission, and that it is only since th reports of the bad condition of th United States army have reache Madrid that the question hos bee raised. Another matter that causes grav consideration in the war dapartmer. is the temper of the Spaniards i Cuba and the fear that the irapres sion which now prevails there ma lead them to regard the America troops of not much account and ac accordingly after the occupancy b the United States The matter has been discussed i the war department and it is proba ble that when the troops are eent t Coba there will be a force of sue size and character as to give the is! anders a different impression of Uni ted States soldiers than they now er tertain. "The impression among the Span iard8 in Cuba,*' said an officer in po sition to know what is going on, "i that the American soldiers are weal and puny, incapable of withstanding hardship and whom it will be an eas; matter to vanquish. This feeling may make it difficult for the Ameri cans at first This impression is dui to the charges that have been inadi against the war department witl such virulence and insistence during the past few mot.tbs." It has become evident that th< troops when seut to Cuba must b< isolated for some time in their campf to avoid the danger of infection anc the department is not quite clear tba any useful purpose will be served bj placing soldiers where their service! cannot be available While the wet season bas now almost reached itt end in Cuba, it is said that the y el low fever is jnore prevalent anc more daogerous in type just now than at any time during the year These conditions, however, will noi continue long A proposition thal is now under consideration looks tc the employment of the Cubans af local gendarmes, it being urged thal they wouid be mote serviceable ir maintaining order in the towns thar American soldiers unacquainted witt the Spanish language and Cuban cus toms. The United States govern ment in this way also would be able by the payment of small salaries tc these men to considerably relieve the distress that exists on the island with out breeding a class of professional paupers or lowering the pride of the Cubans Unless Gen. Lee specifically asks to be relieved from that duty, be ie to command the first expedition, seconded by Gen. Greene and Gen. Arnold. - ?-?-?-.?.-?? Madrid, Oct. 16 -La Epoca, the con I servative orgao, renews the suggestion I of La Correepoodecch (independent and eeai-ofBciai) regarding arbitration between the United States and Spain lt 6ayg : "Toe negotiations at pre J .>cot are going on without touching th? j question of the Philippines, which is most obscure sod whiob lends itself to grave dissensions. Owing to the vagua j ness and lack of c?tamele of the proro j col, the commissioners are meeting ' with serious difficulties, it bas been j paid that if our adversaries are obstinate in their exaggerated demands, Senor ! Sagasta should address the European governments, asking arbitration at leiiSt upon tbe poiuts to wbich an agreement c<>uid not be reached, but in view of the electoral struggle now in full vigor in the United State?, and of tbe declama finn* of ?be jingo prens, which affirms without limits the rights of the oon queror, it is safe to assume that a request for arbitration would be without avail and serve no other purpose than loss of time.7' ? Military Records Missing. _ Col John P. Thomas, State histori an, bas issued the following appeal foi information io regard to certain troops of South Carolina regiments in the civil war. He is extremely anxious co get these records and asks ail the county papers io the State to copy the ootice. To All Whom it May Concern : The undersigned having virtually completed the work of collecting the Confederate rolls proper, now desires to make the war record of South Car? olina more comprehensive by adding to the roli thus far received, of the State troops, known as reserves, called into service 1861-65. He proposes further to make more full the roster of what may be des? ignated as the general staff-engineers, surgeone, quartermasters, commissaries and chaplains, as well as ordnance cffi cers, not attached to regiments, bat? talions or brigades. In the matter of the general stajtT, the State historian has received the valuable aid of the Rsv Dr. Johnson, of Charleston S. C . formerly the distinguished major of engineers,C. ' S. A , to whom addi? tional Dames may be sent of such men rs come under the title of the "general staff " There were about eight regiments of reserves or State troops, makiog 80 companies. There are now on Sie in this ofice about 50 companies of this class. These additional rolls now called for must be handed in by November 15th next, when it is proposed to close the record and make up the? report for the general assembly of 1899 John P Thomas. Spanish Sensitiveness. Havana, Oct. 17.-One of the most remarkable phases of the situation here at present ia the zeal of the Spanish officials to prevent the publication at i this late day of pictures showing the squalor io which the poorer classes here exist. Yesterday afternoon an Ameri- j can named King was arrested opposite the Hotei Inglaterra for taking a snap shot of a group of children. The sur? prise which he felt at his arrest was in? creased by the explanation afforded him, whio was to the effect tba- ich steps were neoessey to prevent t^a publica tion of pictures which would be regard? ed in the [Toiled States as illustrating the oODditior. of the subjects of Spain. King, however, explained matters and protested big innocence of aoy intention to publish the pictures and was allow? ed bis liberty after his name and ad? dress had been taken The day previous an American oler gyman, the Rev. Mr. Thomas, was ar? rested by officers on board a patrol boat in the bay for taking photographs of the wreck of the Maine. '"He was taken on board the Spanish cruiser Alfonso XII, where he remained two hours. Mr. Thomss was released after being subjected to a severe cross examination, . during which be proved his ignorance of the Spanish or? ders forbiding the photographing of the wreck A few days ago an American book store was ransacked an i irs proprietors were arrested and fined for selling the Cuban papsrs Kstrell Solitaria, Inde? pendent*? and Grito de Yara The American military commifsion held a conference at their headquarters in the Trooha Hotel to day. Senor Giranta, secretary of the Span? ish oommi?i?ion, presented the Ameri? can commission, an official note set? ting forth the times when thc next de tacbmeots of Spanish troops will leave the island. It is reported here that maoy of the officers of Gen Gomez's staff have re deived leave of absence, but il is added they have really resigned, owing to se? rious trouble with their chief. It is further asserted that thc only staff offi sers remaining with Gomez are Dec chapel, a colored Dominican, and Mar Oos Rosario. The oity ceuncil at irs session of Saturday last decided to charge the American military commis? sioners $12 70 each, for six plans of Havana furnished to them at their re? quest.

Ismail Bey, the Turkish military gov? ernor, this evening informed tn? ad? mirals cf the foreign warships that the (?utan bad orderrd tho withdrawal of all the Turkish troops ia Ct ste, in oem I pliance with the joint note from Great j Britain, Russia, Italy and France. The Raleigh correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch says : s,It is learned that in five counties in North Carolin*; thpro are 143 negro magis? trates.

In one county three negroes are ontni I nated for the legislature, in another j county two, and ia a large number one. j Io the whole State there are nearl} 300 negro magistrates There are 25 or 30 negro postmasters.

PEA-VINE HAY. The value of pea-vine hay is recog nizsd everywhere, but the difficulty heretofore encountered in curing it na^ somewhat limited the production Ose of fbe finest farmers in the ? State is O?pt I ll* Self, or this couo ty, who demonstrated the fact that pea-vine hay can bo harvestad and j cured with less trouble that any ether,. ' Bis success in curing it hup become known and he is constantly in receipt of inquiries as to his method. For the ! beoeS' cf his brother farmers. Capt. ! Self kindly give the Journal his expe ; Hence io curing pea viae hay. j Tt?o years s.?o he tried the method ? as an experiment. He mowed the ! vines in the morning and let them lie j until the afternoon of the next day, when, if co rain had fallen, he raked ' the hay into cocks. The next morning, as soon as thc dew had dried off, be ? hauled the cocks to bis barn lot and packed tbe vines into rail pens ten feet I square, having a heavy maB to tramp j them in, putting seven two-horse ioads ! to a pen. On the third morning after the vines had been packed into tbe pens, smoke was seen issuiog from every crevice and the vines were fouud so hot one could scarcely bear his hand oe them. The smoke or steam continued to issue from the pens until the fifth morning after they were packed, then it ceased altogether. Capt. Self naturally ooncluded that his experiment was a failure, bat when be opeced the pens in the winter be found thc hay beautifully cured. It was nice, bright, sweet and absolutely free from mustiness, and cot a ieaf feli ; from the vino. Last, year he used the same method, wifb the same resell. Capt. Self says the vices sbouid be so tis* itiy packed arouod the edge as to exclude the air, and the vioes should be weighted down and the pens wei! covered. His plan i? to ?2y rails across the top of the pen and tcp this off with j stra?? -Yorkvilie Enquirer. PLANT" PUMPKINS. If some one nursery man io the United States had all the pumpkin seeds in the country and would adver? tise them with the usual enterprise, the farmers of the Uoited States for the next two years would be crazy to go into pumpkin growing, even if the ad? vertisement continued nothing more than tbe tree statement of the value of of the pumpkin as a stock food. It is none the less valuable now that the I seed is in every one's hands and the recollection of the pumpkin pies made by our grandmothers, one of the pleas? ant remembrances of cid agc. There are few things that are more easily grown that pumpkins. They may be planted in the corn field with the corn, or, better, still, about the time the corn is beginning to come up so that their vines will not interfere with cultivation, and in this way a catch orop, and more, one that costs nothing except the seed and the labor of plant? ing them can be secured. They may be pot in a patch by themselves plantee io bilis about eight, or perhaps twelve feet, each way, and allowed to take possession of the patch. If pains were taken ro out off the ends of the vines so as* to prevent too muob growth of vine, more pumpkins by far may be grown 01 an acre. Charleston, Oct. 17.-Some of the Summervillians (those who are resi? dents merely and not merchants), have objected from the outset to the proposition to quarter troops in that village, notwithstanding that the sol? diers, or the government for them, will, in this case, pay their own way. But now that a battalion of the Ninth Ohio, (negro troops, 600 in number) in addition to 2,600 white troops, ie reported to be ordered to the encamp San Juan, Puerto Rico, Oct. 17. The final ceremony in the delivery of the island and the raising of the United Slates flag upon the captain general's palace, El Morro and the public buildings of San Juan will take place to morrow at noon.

Louisville, Ky , Oct. 17 - The Evening Post to day prints the fol? lowing : It is announced here that the big tobacco combination is a thing of the past and that there is no further chance of the Continental Company forming the combination expected, and ali the negotiations are off forever. The purchase of the Drummond and Brown plants at St Louis last week was made by the American Tobacco company with the expectation of putting thora in the combination The companies will now be operated by the American j Tobacco company. Concerning the Louisville companies it is stated that they would not enter the combination ! and it is intimated that a part of the j hiten which caused the failure of the combination was due to companies in this city who wanted mote for their plants than the combine would give !
