PEACE COMMISSION
Americans Make Reply to Spanish Contentions About the Philippine Islands.
DENIED SPAIN'S CLAIMS
As to Construction to Be Placed 6n Omission of Certain Words In Protocol—Her Claim For Restitution of
Public Moneys at Manila Also Refused.
Paris, Nov. 10.—Yesterday's session of the poaco commissions lasted nearly two hours. When tlie meeting opened the Americans presented to their Spanish colleagues the answer of the United States to the claims submitted on Friday last in behalf of Spain.
The document in which the American answer was set forth consisted of nearly 53 sheets of typewritten matter. It was a refutation of the Spanish allegation that because the words "possession," "ownership" or "cession" do not occur in the protocol clause touching upon the Philippine islands, the peace commissions have no right to discuss them hero, even if they do so it must be in the light of alleged facts of an exterior agreement that Spain's sovereignty should not be impaired.
The Americans also answered Spain's claim for the restitution to her of public money and customs collections taken by United States officials since tho capitulation of Manila, and made reply to Spain's claim for an indemnity on account of tho alleged imprisonment by United States authorities of Spanish troops of Manila, and for their subsequent restraint from being of service to Spain in the suppression of the insurrection and the preservation of property.
To these points the Americans prepared an exhaustive reply yesterday, which though not fully typewritten at 2 p. m., the time fixed for tho meeting of Tuesday, would have been submitted to the Spaniards at 4 p. m. yesterday, had it not been that the commissioners of Spain refused to meet at that hour, pleading other engagements as an excuse for their refusal.
The Americans are surprised that the Spaniards made unalterable engagements in view of the fact that the meeting, had it occurred, might have been extended, as has frequently happened.
Tho American commissioners held that there was justification, under the terms of the protocol, for the discussion of the future of the Philippine islands, and they also claimed that -the occupation of Manila is a military occupation which justilies the use in collecting the revenues, administering the government and exercising all the functions of possession.
The joint session was short because Senor Montero Rios and Judge Day concurred in the service of the American rejoinder upon the Spanish commissioners without a formal reading of the paper, which would occupy many columns ift an ordinary newspaper, and an adjournment, was taken until Saturday.
It is quite safe to say that the Americans have made no new propositions regarding the possession of the Philippines, but confined themselves to a discussion of the proposals and assertions made by Spain at the previous meeting. Just what were the terms of the American rejoinder can not, of course, be ascertained. But despite persistent assertions here to the contrary- there is no ground, as has already been called for the Spanish contention that the United States acquiesced, at the signing of the protocol in some reservation by Spain of her Philippine sovereignty. This utterly unfounded rumor is now quite well understood to have come come from a high source not in sympathy with the United States.
EMPEROR WILLI AM
With Two German Warships Will Visit Spain. Madrid, Nov. 10.—Inquiries made here concerning the proposed visit of the emperor of Germany to Spain show that the Spanish government has been notified that two German warships, one of them having the emperor and empress of Germany cm board, will arrive at Cadiz on Nov. 20. But it is claimed it is not yet known whether the visit of their majesties ia of a private or of an official character.
It is asserted at the foreign office that Emperor William and Empress Augusta Victoria, after visiting Cadiz, will visit Cartagena. The queen regent will invite them to visit Madrid.
The Madrid correspondent of the London Mail says Senor Sagasta declares that Emperor William is coming to Spain incognito. There is a good deal of comment upon the fact that he does not plan to stop at Gibraltar, where the coaling facilities are much greater
tlmn
at Cadiz, and it is pointed out that he will arrive at a critical moment in the history of tho Philippines.
Disturbing Factor.
London, Nov. 10.—At the Guid bull banquet last evening tho marquis of Salisbury did not announce a British protectorate over Egypt, but he emphasized the necessity of being prepared for all eventualities. The premier also said the United States was a new and disturbing factor in European polities, but not to tho detriment of Great Britain.
Russian Press.
London, Nov. 10.—Tho St. Petersburg correspondent of The Times says: The signs of Russian disenchantment with the Americans has been rendered con-1 spicuous by the demand for an annexation of the Philippines. Russian papers denounce the protocol, and suggost that' Russia join Germany in opposing American annexation.
FRANCE ALARMED
Over Spanish American Outloolc. Fears Revolution In Spain. London, Nov. 10.—The Paris correspondent of The Daily Telegraph says: "There is much anxiety in Government circles here as to tho Spanish situation. This is not because there is any fear that peace will not bo concluded, for it is hold that Spain ann the United States are bound to agree sooner or later, though now it is said that Spain requires a solation of $150,00(^)00 for the Philippines, while tho United States considers §50,000,000 ample. "It ss the Spanish domestic situation Sat inspires alarm. Senor Sagastas government is tottering. Anarchy, civil war and military dictatorship are candidates for the succession to parliamentary government. Meanwhile Catalonia and two other provinces are loudly demanding separation. France views tho situation with apprehension and even alarm."
PLEASED
Are tlie Majority of Peaoo Commissioners With Result of Election. Pai "is, Nov. 10.—Commenting upon the telcgraphio reports received regarding the result of tho elections in the United States, Whitelaw Reid says: "I am greatly rejoiced by tlie results, and am much more delighted than had I been at home and received the same news."
Senator Gray said: "Tbe result in tho country is too much in doubt to warrant any expression of opinion. It does not seem to ono at this distance as though the policy of expansion entered at all into tho campaign."
Senator Frye said: "I am highly delighted at the results." Judge Day remarked: "As far as I know, gratifying results appear from the elections. It is especially gratifying that a man of Colonel Roosevelt's high character and unblemished integrity is so triumphantly elected ncmor of New York."
Senator Davis said: "Tho result of the elections is, of course, very gratifying to me as a Republican. It approves the general policy of the administration and the principles of the party which it represents."

FUTURE SHIPYARDS.
WILL BE ERECTED IN NEW YORK, SAYS
ANDREW CARNEGIE.
CapitclislM Will Be Attracted There aa the Ou!y X.iHiral Place For Such Enterprise A liierien to Be the "World's# Shipbuilder.
Andrew Carnegie, who recently returned from his annual pilgrimage to see the old mother at Dunfermline, Scotland, talks through the current issue of The Iron Age. Ill his interview tho canny ticot ignored what t.ho war with SJpain might have to do with armor plate and did not touch on the possibilities for tlie United States in the event of a European imbroglio. Mr. Carnegie was practical, as usual, and talked of things as thoy are.
Briefly: "England leads in iron and steel, and Germany follows, but thtv United States will lead both soon. Thw' country will become the shipbuilding nation of the world. Capital will be ay tracted and will erect shipyards New York, as the only natural plaSk fbr such enterprise. The tendency'^ oombino ia natural and growing. export trade in iron and steel," JgS Camegia said, "has coruo to stay, a5X it is only beginning. I never expect® tbe Dnited States to reach its prese® stage in my time, but this is a count A that beats the predictions of the ino:^ sanguiiio. "Britain has been able to lead the world in making and marketing iron and steel, but her position has become artificial. She cannot make coke under $3.50 a ton and cannot maintain her present supply of ore. In this position it is not possible for Britain to make steel as cheap as we can make it in Pittsburg and send it to her. The position of Germany also is largely artificial. Of course the}* have a highly protective duty, and the manufacturers are able by combination to get a big prica in tho home market. This enables them to ship abroad and sell very cheaply. "But thero is this difference—the prices charged to the consumer in Germany limit the consumption. The extraordinarily cheap prices prevailing hare—three pounds of steel for 2 cents —increase consumption. Germany's foundation is on sand. I am a stanch protectionist when, under protection, we have reason to believe that we can furnish better and cheaper any article made abroad. Germany abandons that economic doctrine and is protecting for the sako of protection. "If wo conld restore to tho Dnited States its rightful position as shipbuilder of tho world, the lack of regular steamship lines to all parts of the world would be remedied. Several new steamship lines have been justified by oux new export trade, and we will oonquet by and by. I have been urging the importance of a shipbuilding yard in New Fork, and it is bound to come. Capital will see to that, as steel and woodwork both are cheaper in New York than in Belfast and on the Clyde. "There is plenty of room for a good shipyard in New York. It is rather humiliating to see the New York or the St Paul and other great steamships run into Southampton to be docked because there is no dock in New York. These are small ships. I came over on the Kaiser Friedrich, 'made in Germany.' We had the roughest passage I have known, and yet the most comfortable. As to iron and steel concerns, the selling of three pounds of tieel for 2 cents troubles the best of them. As to consolidation, it is a step in the right direction. Tho steel manufacturer must reconcile himself to a very small shaving of profit per ton."
Regarding the reports that he had plans for new gun workB and other plants, Mr. Carnegie said that he had 83 bright, young and energetic partners who always were dragging him into some improvements. When told that the Germans were supposed to have aohieved great success with byproduct coke ovens, he said: "I view with Christian resignation onr competitors' use of anything inferior. Our experience has been that it is tbe cheapest to use tbe best. "The use of struotural steel beams will grow in the United States if tb« price iB kept down to the present rate. Germany uses three times the amount of beams we do here. No one thinks ol building an ordinary house in German without making it fireproof. Here only millionaires buid such houses, though know of several millionaires who recently have ereoted 'fire traps.' The ordinary honse in the United States will in the near future be made fireproof, as it is in Germany.''
To Sleuaure Sarth'a Circumference.
The Mexioo department of promotion has appointed a geodetic commission, composed of four engineers, which, in conjunction with a similar commission appointed by the United States government, is to undertake the measurement of the circumference of the globe by establishing the exact length of the quarter of the meridian which tuns through Acapulco, Mexico. This measurement is to determine the exact size of the international meter measure.—Cor. St. Louie Globe-Democrat.
French Improvement)! Not Liked.
Among other improvements the French authorities have recently introduced the guillotine into Cochin China. The other day at Cholon, a suburb ol Saigon, a murderer met his death under its knife. The crowd which witnessed the execution showed that they thought lightly of the innovation. They preferred the custom of the land, which ordains the execution of murderers by beheading with a sword.—Penang Gazette.
