INDIANAPOLIS, THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 1, 1898.

FIVE ARTICLES * ACCEPTED BY THE V" \f t: COMMISSIONERS AT PARIS YESTERDAY. _4 l-lglil Remain to Re Discussed and Agreed To Before They- Cun Re Incorporated in the Treaty, ♦ DAILY SESSIONS HEREAFTER UNTIL ALL THE THIRTEEN ARTICLES ARB DISPOSED OF, Little Discussion Over the Clnnses Relating to Cuba. Porto Hieo, Guam, the Philippine* and Prisoners. SIX TROUBLESOME POINTS ——* —. REFERRED TO MADRID AND WASHINGTON FOR INSTRUCTIONS. Spaniard* Opposed to Reviving the Protocol of 1*77 Humor that Aguinnldo Waal* $1,500,000. ♦ PARIS, Nov. 30.—People not familiar with the workings of deliberate bodies imagined that to-day’s joint meeting of the peace commissions might possibly bo the last—that all that remained for the treaty makers to do was to affix their signatures to the articles of agreement prepared by the secretaries yesterday. This idea was wrong, for it may be a week or more yet before the treaty is in shape for signing. There are thirteen articles in the newly prepared protoeol—the commissioners evidently do not believe in unlucky numbers—and only live were agreed to to-day after a session lasting from 2 p. m. till 1:30 o’clock. The United States commissioners held a session tills morning for the purpose of discussing the draft of tlio treaty articles made yesterday by Secretaries Moore and Ojeda. The finnl preparation .of these articles was concluded and the revised draft was then turned over to the typewriters while the commissioners hastily lunched prior to the hour fixed for the joint session. The typewriting, however, was not finished at 2 o’clock, tho time set. The Spaniards arrived first at tho conference chamber. They were quickly followed by the American commissioners with lb*' exception of Judge Day and Secretary Moore, who waited for tho prepared copy of the articles and who arrived at the conference an hour later. Tho two commissions then began the discussion of the formulated protocol agreements and the subjects for negotiation, all of whieli were presented to tho joint cumffiiHßttlfi in a form acceptable to tlio Americans. Tho thirteen articles cover the following subjects: First—The relinquishment of sovereignty over and claim of title lo Cuba.

Second—The cession of Porto Rico and other Spanish possessions in the West Indies, together with Guam, in the J*id rones. Third—The cession of thtvPhillppines. Fourth-Thc terms of tile evacuation of the Philippines. Fifth—The pledge of the United States to preserve order in the Philippines pending the ratification of the treaty. Sixth—The release of military prisoners mutually. Seventh—The cession by Spain of the Island of Kusae, or Strong island, in the Carolines. Eighth—The mutual relinquishment of indemnity claims. \ Ninth—The religious freedom of the Carolines. assuring the rights of American missionaries there. Tenth—Cable landing rights ut points within the Spanish jurisdiction. Eleventh—The release by Spain of political prisoners for offenses in Cuba and the Philippines. Twelfth—The pledge of the T’nited States to inaugurate in the Philippines an opendoor policy and to guarantee the same to Spain for at least twelve years. Thirteenth—A revival of the treaties broken by the war. The first three articles were mutually agreed upon to-day, as was also the article embodying the terms of the evacuation of the Philippines, which will be practically the same as In the evacuation, of Cuba and Porto Rico. The mutual telease of military prisoners was agreed on, Spain liberating the rebel prisoners and the United States liberating the Manila garrison and the Spaniards held by Agulnaldo. The political prisoners to be released by Spain are such as are now in exile at Ceuta, in Morocco, or ut other Spanish penal settlements. Daily sessions will be held hereafter, and It is now believed that the work may be possibly concluded this week, although so early a termination is not probable. The foregoing list of subjects under consideration does not show the precise order in which the articles were laid before the Spanish commissioners to-day, and in fact only eight of the thirteen articles wore discussed. Four poii\ts arose about which the Spaniards desired to consult Madrid and two on which the Americans will consult Washington. After the session and the departure of the Spanish commissioners the Americans remained in the conference chamber for an hour in executive session. The adjournment was taken until .*5 o'clock to-morrow. The report that. Mr. Ferguson, interpreter to the T'nited States peace commissioners, had been taken ill is without foundation. He has been perfectly well throughout the conference sessions and attended to-day's proceedings as usual. nsTKit to kios. The Medical Cabinet Refuses to Ratify the Ciishing Protocol.

If possible, of the Cuban debt. The government also agreed to refuse a ratification of the protocol of 1577. The Protocol of 1*77. WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.—The protocol of 1*77, which the Spanish government has no*

tilled her eoromissioneis not to revive. Is the celebrated Lushing protocol, which has been a source or much correspondence between the two governments, and was invoked by this government a number of times prior to the outbreak of hostilities. The protocol was framed with, special reference to the outbreaks in Cuba, against Spain, and now that she has lost nearly all of her colonies, and especially those near our soil, hus not its former importance to the United States. Its aim was to guarantee our citizens protection against summary and secret legal proceedings. Its first clause, which is fairly descriptive of the whole protocol, provided that no citizen of tho United States residing in Spain or her island possessions, charged with treason, conspiracy against the government or any other crime, shall be subject to trial by any exceptional tribunal, unless raptured with arms in their hands, but, instead, phall lx tried exclusively by the ordinary legal jurisdiction. Germany"* Desire. LONDON, Dec. I.—The Berlin correspondent of tiie Daily News says: Germany is negotiating at Washington for the recognition of Germany’s commercial privileges in the Sulus. The negotiations are friendly, Germany desiring to act in perfect agreement with England and the United States. I believe it to bo correct, that Germany would give a reasonable price for the CaroMnes. hut she does not desire to do anything to prejudice her relations with either the United States or Great Britain. Wants Hansom for Friars. MADRID, Nov. 30.—The government has received an important dispatch from the Philippine islands in which it is stated tha* Agulnaldo, the insurgent leader, demands $1,.Vi0.000 for the release of tho imprisoned friars.

A “GENTLEMEN’S AGREEMENT.” Hallway Official* Promise to Restore EiiMt-Bonmt Freight Itntes. CHICAGO. Nov. 30.—The officials of the east-bound roads met in the offices of tlio Western Freight Association to-day and formed a "gentlemen’s agreement" to restore freight rates to normal tariff on Dec. 12. The meeting was the culmination of the demoralization in Eastern freight rates, which are in th* worst condition in years. Since the Supreme Court gave its decision in the Joint Traffic Association case rates have been going from bad to worse. Now that navigation has practically closed and all business lias to go by rail the railroads want higljer rates. As the law prohibits the making of agreements for the maintenance of rates the managers had no other way to accomplish the desired end than to pgree on their word to maintain tariff rates. The session was stormy un<l it was found no easy task to overcome the objections of all the roads. MOB AFTER NEGROES. Wanted to Lynch Two, but Was Ordered Away by the Sheriff. PARKERSBURG, IV. Va..

Ili* Departure 1 nmarked by Ceremony—Castellano* Not Pleased with the Footl Given Soldiers, WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.—Tiie members of the commission delegated to visit the United Slates to discuss with officials of this government tiie many problems which confront both Cubans and Americans on the island arrived iri Washington this evening on the Pennsylvania congressional limited from New York. The commission is headed by Gen. Calixto Garcia, the veteran soldier and leader. Associated with him on the commission aro Maj. Gen. Jose Miguel Gomez, who won distinction by ills gallantry in the late revolution; Col. Manuel Sanguilly, Jose Antonio Gonzales Lanuza and Col. Jose R. Vilialon, a eivil engineer, who served on the staff of General Maeeo. Sonor Valone is the secretary of the commission. The commissioners were met at the station by Scnor Gonzales de Quesada and Senor Casanova. Accompanying the commissioners were Horatio S. Rubens, counsel in New York of tlio Cuban government, and Richard Kohli. The party went directly to the Raleigh Hotel, where apartments had been reserved for them. It is the present expectation of General Garcia and tlie other commissioners lo remain in Washington about ten days. To-morrow General Garcia will call upon Secretary of War Alger, but beyond that call no arrangements have been perfected for tlio movements of tlio commission. In a general sense, it is tiie purpose of the commission to discuss with the officials # ol' the administration ail questions relat'ing to the future of tiie island and its penpie. One of the principal questions will be that relating to the disposition of the Cuban army. In the course of an interview, Gen. Garcia said it would boa hardship for the Cuban army to disband at this times without receiving pay for its services in the Held. When the revolution began the Cubans left their homes to fight for tho freedom and independence of tiie island. Through the assistance of the .United States the yoke of Spain hail been throw'n off forever, and the soldiers are now anxious to return once more to peaceful pursuits. In a majority of cases, however, their homes have been destroyed and their lands laid waste. They hope some method may lie provided whereby they may be given sufficient means to gain anew start in life. General Garcia has no suggestion to make as to the method of providing this means, but expresses the hope of obtaining, through the assistance of this country, a sufficient amount partly to reimburse the Cubans for their services in the field. This sum may be advanced on the security of the Cuban revenues or obtained in any other W'ay that might he satisfactory to this country. General Garcia says that the Cuban government stands pledged to pay its soldiers and will in good faith live up to any agreement that may be made for the adjustment of the temporary difficulty. Concerning the proposition which lias been made to annex the island to the United States, General Garcia said: "I do not think that is a question which can be discussed or settled at present, because the Congress of the United States lias declared by a most solemn enactment that the people of Cuba ought to be free and independent. I have such faith in the honor and integrity of the United States that I am satisfied that declaration of Congress will be carried out. Other things are matters of time and detail."

General Garcia says the Cubans arc acting in the utmost good faith and that they believe the United States government is acting- and will continue to act in the same way. He and other Cubans are willing to Join this government in its effort to obtain for the island a free, independent and stable government. He believes the Cuban people are prepared to establish, and maintain such a government and is satisfied that time will demonstrate the accuracy of his views. He has no objection to the sending of American troops to the island to afford the population protection, pending the establishment of the new government and the creation, under that government, of a proper army and police force. Indeed, lie says, the Cubans themselves are willing to be enlisted as such garrison force, in whole or in part, as this government may deem desirable. but suggests that when American soldiers are sent to the island they be placed under smart restraint, in order to prevent the recurrence of such affairs as that at San Lois. In making this comment. General Garcia disclaimed any reflection upon the American army, for which he expresses the highest respect. BLANCO LEAVES FOR lIOUE. Sulla with 111* Stan on Bnnril the Steamer Villa* erde. HAVANA, Nov. 30.—The Spanish mail steamer Villaverde, with Marshal Blanco, thu former captain general of Cuba, and his suite on board, left this port at 1 o’clock this morning. The departure of Marshal Blanco was not accompanied by the pomp and ceremony marking similar events in previous years. On returning front paying a farewell visit to his llfe-icng friend, Count latmbillo. at 11 o'clock last night, the formecaptain general found assembled at the palace Genorals Castellanos. Parrado. Ruiz, Rubcrtcr and Maroto, the civil governor and other military and civil officials. After a long conference with his successor.

Spanish naval commander here, w ho placed the Admiralty launch Esperanaa at his disposal. The admiral accompanied the marshal on board the Vlllaverde. An affectionate farewell took place on the wharf between Marshal Blanco and a number of his old friends, and he warmly embraced General Rubertcr, his old companion in arms and trusted friend. Only personal friends and a few officers accompanied Gen. Bianco, none of the crowds on suc h occasions waiting to see him for the last time. A body of troops, however, to do military honors to the former oaptaln general was present. As soon as Marshal Blanco arrived on board the Vlllaverde the vessel weighed anchor. Sailing with Marshal Blanco on the Vlllaverde are Generals Bernale and Tjeda. Colonels Cevallos, Pagllery, Tusser and Domenlclo and several officers of lesser rank belonging to his personal staff. Lieut. Col. J. G. Delgado lias been appointed chief of police of Havana, succeeding Colonel Pagliery. The first prize in to-day’s lottery fell to the government, the winning ticket being among those unsold, and thus, under the insulations, becoming government property. The Spanish mail steamer Covadonga, which sailed yesterday, carried 2,466 troops, instead of 1,800, as formerly cabled. The Villaverdo carried 228. General Castellanos, wlnle leaving the palace this afternoon to take a drive, stopped casually to inspect some food that was being served to soldiers in the palace yard. He tasted it, and called the quartermaster sergtunt and gave him a sound dressing down for putting such stuff before soldiers. BLANCO HAD FEW FRIENDS. Ho Is Non' Acensod of Being Responsible for Reverse* fit Cuba. HAVANA, via Key West, Fla., Nov. 30. The circumstances of Marshal Blanco's departy re. particularly the clandestine nature of his movements at an early hour this morning, have furnished occasion for much gossip and for bitter vituperation, as the affair throws light upon ids methods and conduct during the entire period of his captain generalship. The oft-repeated statement that he was not popular among the Spaniards in Cuba gets confirmation from the fact that none of his fellow-countrymen prominent in civil, social or industrial circles, men whose loyalty to Spain is above suspicion, went near him to say farewell. At the palace and on board the steamer ho was met only by those whose official military duty it was to pay a tribute of respect and courtesy to the ex-governor general of the island, but no personal friends were present to relieve the gloom and dullness of his last hours in Cuba. This he appeared to feel keenly, for he was morose and silent, showing visible signs of his disappointment and regret. His only outburst of feeling was when he embraced General Ruberte, military governor of Cabanas, ail old and trusted friend and brother soldier. While clasping the younger officer in bis arms Marshal Blanco seemed greatly affected. Th© details of Ids slipping away from the palace about midnight and going quietly on board the Villaverdo, without blare of trumpets and military honors and salutes usual on such occasions, have already been cabled to tho Associated Press. Now that Iks has gone tongues aro loosened. He is openly accused of weakness and lack of character. He is made responsible for tiie reverses of tlio campaign and tho iiuat result of the war, as the corrupt instrument of the corrupt and unprincipled few v.-lio rule the destinies of Spain, in support of such charges it is pointed out that, though he had 150,000 men at liis disposal, he withhold reinforcements from Santiago, and that, while deceiving people by announcements that General Pando had left for the eastern provinces at the head of a powerful army, no such movement was even contemplated, Pando instead leaving secretly fora tour in Central America, ostensibly on a diplomatic mission, the exact import of which has never been actually explained. Finally, his countrymen make him answerable ior the destruction of Cervera’s squadron, laying at his door a command that Admiral Cervera should make a dash out of Santiago liaibor. Cervera answered that the loss of the tleet was inevitable, and asked authority to land all his guns, mount them on the shore batteries, to man them with marines, to abandon the vessels, to make a brilliant and possibly victorious resistance by land, ana, as a last resort, if the Americans took the city, to blow up the vessels, thus sparing the lives of officers and crews, w’ho, if the squadron were sent out, would go to certain sacrifice. Blanco, it Is asserted, acting on his own authority, answered briefly and curtly by reiterating his order to make a sally. His countrymen here now* wish to make him criminally responsible for the order that entailed this tremendous loss of life. AM this, of course, Is given merely as gossip current in Spanish circles here.

Bast, and by no means least, in this list of charges is Blanco's recent decree transferring all eases of prosecutions against members of the volunteer and irregularly mobilized forces from military to civil tribunals. This has aroused the ire of the Spanish population, and can be safely considered the keynote of their present reviling of Blanco. By the decree they claim that their brothers are handed over for judgment to their natural enemies, the Cubans, most of the judges now sitting in the island courts being Cubans. There is no doubt that this provision may yet give rise to many serious troubles. The Official Gazette, of Havana, the government organ, to-day publishes the conditions governing the concession for the Central Railway, for whose construction bids were asked by the Spanish government. Although technically correct, and in order as a matter of official routine, the publication savors of the ludicrous, entuiling as Jt does the gratuitous cession to the concessionaires of lands, one-half of which were either acquired by American conquest, as in the province of Santiago, or occupied by American troops after Spanish evacuation. Col. Clous, secretary of the United States evacuation commission, had just finished reading the decree in the Official Gazette this morning, when Colonel Giianta, the secretary of the Spanish commissioners, arrived at the Hotel Trochu. He protested energetically against the publication of any decree whereby the Spanish government appeared to cede lands belonging to the United States. Later he addressed an official note of protest to the Spanish commissioners. Tin: American Society of the Daughters of Jesus has taken charge of the unfortunate women and children of Quanabacoa, where there has been a mortality of three to four hundred a month for somo time. The United States evacuation commissioners have also appointed two physicians to report as to the condition In the Guanabacoa cemetery, where the beggars and paupers have been burled sometimes at the rate of twelve or fourteen in the same grave and then left uncovered us u prey to buzzards. The close proximity of Guanabacoa to Havana makes these conditions all the more alarming. WILL 111: RHOIUHT HOME. Iloilies of TlioNe Who Fell In Bnttle at Santiago to Be l)iin terred.
