The Administration Satisfied with the Latest Reports of Progress Being Made in Paris. NO KOBE SERIOUS HITCHES EXPECTED. Tb( Sp^ttUrtift, Having Found that tt>« American CoumitMlouen Mean tmctlj H bat The; 8*y, lieglu to Sen the Futility ot Unnecessarily Prolonging th« Peace Kogoltalloui. Washington, Oct. 29.—-The president via* enabled to lay before the cabinet very encouraging reports from Paris regarding the progress of the peace negotiations. The administration now fully believes that the negotiations will be concluded much sooner than was expected from the outlook a few days ago. It can be stated authoritatively that the commisssioners have not yet begun the discussion of the Philippine question and, further, that it will uot be taken up until next week. Tb« Spaniard's Have Learned a Lesson. Since the Spaniards have found that the American commissioners mean exactly what they say, end that theii presentation of the side of the United States is in reality an ultimatum, the uselessness of prolonged debate, it is said, has become apparent to the Spaniards, and it is now believed the Philippine discussion will be less protracted than reported some days ago. The recent action of the United States government in intimating that the negotiations were proceeding much toe slowly, has had its effect upon the Spanish commissioners, and they are not likely to debate remaining propositions to the length they did the settlement of the Cuban debt. Cuban Municipal Debt*. The United States has not assumed rcr guaranteed the so-called municl* pn! debt of Cuba or Cuban municipalities, but it is expected that such debts will be paid by the municipalities incurring them, for by no reasoning could they be charged upon Spain. Our government, it is said, in official circles, would look upon any attempt at evading the payments of such debts no runnillritSon timl (IlfihnnAst linrl

whatever government is established in Cnba will be expected to see that these obligations are carried out in good faith. Auierlcun Citizens are Interested. Moreover, some of the bonds of Cuban municipalities are held by citizens of the United States, and the United States might insist that the investment of her citizens in such securities are made good. The state department has no information ns to the amount of these municipal liabilities. TO RAISE THE MAINE. The Acme Wrecking Co. Aiki PermlMlot. to Do It Without Cost to tb( Government. Washington, Oct. 29.—The Acrnt Wrecking company, of San Francisco, has made a request upon the navy del*»irtnient for authority to raise the i oattieship Maine. The company has i had experience in raising vessels ou j I the l’acilic coast, and representations | have been made to the department as to its ability to accomplish the task in Uatauu harbor. It; proposes to blow the mud from under the wreck by means of streams of water, and then to pass under chains and attach them to frame workconnected with a system of steel barrels. These barrels will also be placed in the wreck aud utilized ertierever they ean be made available. The company simply asks authority to raise the Maiue and bring her to this country. If the government wants the ship after she reaches the United States, the company will want to be paid salvage money through condemnation proceedings. It is probable in case the government did not want*!he ship the company would exhibit her ,in different large sea-coast cities "of the United States. No money is demanded from the government by the company.

Oct. 29.—La Yolente, discuss- J 4»g the Philippine question yesterday, j said: “The Americans could well make concessions to compensate for j their rigor on the Cuban question.” Quoting the Philippine article of the protocol, the paper says: “The word-1 lag is vague, and forecasts the Span- j ish contention relative to the meaning j of the words ‘control’ and ‘disposition.* ” Spain, the paper concludes, is minus j money and a Meet to re-establish or- I der, and it would he more prudent to allow the Americans ,tto do so, Spain i claiming money indemnity in exchange for her sovereignty.

THANKSGIVING DAT. Tkt FiMldent’i FiooImwOIob UMleutlaf ThondAT. November g«, os o Day of ThukigUlnf. Washington, Oct, 29.—The president after the cabinet meeting issued tha foliowing Thanksgiving proclaim*tion: The approaching November brings to mind the customs of our ancestors, hallowed by time and rooted In our most sacred traditions, of giving thanks *to Almighty God for all the blessings He has vouchsafed to us during the past year. Few years in our history have afforded ' such cause for thanksgiving. We have been blessed by abundant harvests, our trade a ad commerce have been wonderfully increased, our pubUA credit has been Improved and strengthened, all sec- ; tions of our common country have been brought together and knitted into closer bond of national purpose and unity. I The skies have been for a time darkened by the cloud of war, but as we were compelled to take up the sword in the cause 1 of humanity, we are permitted to rejoice : that the conflict has been of brief durai tion.and the losses we have had to mourn, | though grievous and important, have j been so few, considering the great results I accomplished, as to inspire us with gratij tude and praise to the Lord of hosts. We 1 may laud and magnify His holy name I that the cessation of hostilities came so [ soon as to spare both sides the countless sorrows and disasters that attend pro- | tcected war. I do, therefore, Invite ail my fellow-cltl- ; gens, as well those at home as those who | may be at sea or sojourning In foreign lands, to set apart and observe Thursday. | the twenty-fourth day of November, to come together In tnelr several places of ! worship, for a service of praise and I thanksgiving to Almighty God for ail the i blessings of the year; for the mildness of I the seasons and the fruitfulness of the | soil; for the continued prosperity of the | people; for the devotion and valor of our countrymen: for the glory of our victory, and hope of a righteous peace: and to ( pray that the Divine guidance which has j brought us heretofore to safety and taonI or, may be graciously continued In the years to come. „ w _ william mckinley.

Manzanillo, Oct. 29.—The United | States gunboat Hist arrived here last | night with Gen. Wood, comui&nder of the military department of^tJantiago, J accompanied by Lieut. Matthew Hanna. On landing Gen. Wood was closi eted with Col. Pettit and his adjutant, | and he was subsequently received by | Col. Pettit’s entire regiment; Gen. ! Wood then visited the barracks, hosi pitals, palaces, customhouse and post j office.

! Making Every Effort to Prevent the Dlebamllug or Hie Troop*. Col. Pettit reports that the Cuban j general Rios is apparently making : every effort to prevent the disbanding of his troops. The Cuban commander wishes each sugar estate in the neighborhood to tell him how many men he can employ, and he will guar* antee to supply all required on condition that only soldiers are employed. The planters unanimously refuse to fall in with such an arrangement, considering that it would be a trades union of the worst possible kind, and would also tend to keep up the Cuban ! military organization, which, in the interests of the island, the planters are very anxious to break up. In their opinion, it would be better to have no commerce than to attempt it on such conditions. The Hero of the Hour. Lieut. Lucien Young, commander of ; the Ilist, created more excitement on landing than even Gen. Wood himself. Crowds gathered at the wharf to see ; the young commander who, with Lieu- j tenants Holm and Jungen, of the Hor- j net and Wampatuck, defeated a whole ; Hot ilia of Spanish gunboats at Manza- I nillo on July 1 last. The people of j Manzanillo consider Lieut. Young a ! hero and a terror, and think he ought j to be an admiral, for, although the j Spanish shore battery in that memora- i ble engagement continued to bombard the American gunboats, it is generally ] admitted here that it was the shooting of the Hist that caused the people to j flee to the mountains.

The Wreck* of the Spanish War Ship*. Lieut. Victor Blue, who has been In- j speeting the wrecks of the Spanish j gunboats, considers It quite impracticable to raise them, but he believes the Spanish steamer Purissima Concepcion,which the Spaniards ran ashore in j the hopes of saving her cargo when pursued by an American war ship, can be raised, as she appears to be in good condition. A local merchant, however, claims to have purchased the hull and its contents from the Spanish authorities. The Cuban general. Jesus Babi, paid j a visit to Manzanillo Thursday and was ! enthusiastically received by the Cuban element. JmIou of Gen. Unrein'* Preferment. According to reports from the Cuban assembly at Santa Cruz del Sur, Gen. Calixto Garcia has been chosen permanent chairman of the organisation. Gen. Maximo Gomez is expected there to-day or to-morrow, and it appears that the Cespedes faction believes that it can count upon the help of Gen. Gomes to break the authority of Garcia. The Cespedas faction expects Gen. Gomez to appoint a courtmartial to try Gen. Garcia for offenses covering practically everything from murder to petty larceny, but the probability is that Gen. Gomez, recognizing Garcia's ascendancy in the assembly, will not force the issue. MYSTERIOUS MURDER. Tfc* Well-Dnurd Body of a Toons Maa ■ found to the Mod l'uddle Seven MUee from Peoria, ilL Peoria, 111., Oct. 29.—The body of a jouug man has been found lying partly in a puddle of mud on a lonely road seven miles above the city, it was well dressed.

Philadelphia, Oct. 28.—There was compensation for the disappointmeut in the enforced postponement of the civic parade which had been scheduled for Wednesday. The rain storm which started early Wednesday morning continued until nearly midnight, when the wind shifted to the west and quickly blew the clouds out to sea. Cl«»r»ky*ad Bright suushiur. The day opened with a clear sky and bright sunshine, and with every possible favorable opportunity for the assembled crowds to witness the great military parade, which was the programme for the day jin the week’* peace jubilee. An Karly Start for m Big Day. Mr. McKinley rose early yesterday morning, and after a light breakfast be and his party were driven in open carriages along the route of the parade, about seven miles in length. The drive was of course marked by incessant applause from the crowds. While driving up Broad street the party passed Gen. Miles and his staff, who were riding to the place of formation. The moment the general’s sword made i*s salute the president arose in the carriage and took off his hat. Returning to the Bellevue, the presidential party was. escorted by a squadron of the City Troop of cavalry across Broad street to the reviewing stand. They had been preceded a few "moments by Generals Shafter, Lawton and Xhaffee. with their aides and a partj\of ladies. Ten minutes later the platoon of the emergency corps, which held the head of the line, reached the stand, and from then until 2:30 o’clock the soldiers and sailors tramped by.

jiut iimiirioM up roes in uns. Many illustrious heroes were it line, but there was little partiality displayed in the kind or quality of enthusiasm accorded them, Maj.-Gen Miles, as chief marshal, rode at the front immediately behind the emergency corps, until he reached his special reviewing stand at Broad and York streets, the northern end of the route. Here he dismounted and from the stand and watched the men file past. Gen. “Joe" Wheeler rode behind the governors, his gray head bared for some minutes before and after the presidential stand was reached, and bowing repeatedly to the president's waving hat and the applause of the others of the party and the people generally. Gen. Sumner, Capt. “Bob" Evans, Commodore Philip, Capt. Sigsbee, Col. Huntington, with his marines pf Guantanamo fame, all received tumultuous greeting; but. after all, perhaps the loudest ovation was that given Hobson and his Merrimac crew. They rode on a tally-ho. and as they reached the reviewing stand, all arose, faced the president and bowed their bared heads. The Tr*j»i«l«*i»t*i» Own. So far as any body of men was concerned, perhaps the Twenty-first regular infantry, "The President's Own," received the greatest tribute. They marched 300 strong under Col. McKibben. With them marched the “Fighting musicians" of the regiment, the men who. in the thick of the combat, flung their instruments from them and made music with the guns snatched from their fallen brothers. There, are only 20 left of the original 3S bandsmen. The others fell in the fisrht.

Carried the Color* Presented by .Mr*. Me* The Twenty-first carried the colors presented to them by Mrs. McKinley, who calls them “The President’s Own,” and also those given by a lady of New York city. The Tenth cavalry, colored, was dismounted and to them the president repeatedly flourished his hat. Huntington’s marines, who made the first hostile landing on Cuban soil, were immediately preceded by the Marine band. Of course the highest degree of local enthusiasm was bestowed upon CoL Huling and his Sixteenth Pennsylvania regiment. A line of jackies from the Texas. Gloucester, Mayflower, Marblehead and New Orleans, with a few scatering men from the Yosemite, Yankee and other ships followed. Tbr Qrud Army and Allied Organisations The rear of the line was held by the Grand Army of the Republic and their allied military organizations. As tleae The Decoration* were Prufuae.

Cleveland, O., Oct., 2$.—Since late Wednesday afternoon a furious gala liar swept over the lower lake region. During the night the wind reached a velocity of 50 miles an hour, accompanied by flurries of snow. So far as tv ported the only damage suffered tc shipping was to the yacht Cygnet, which was anchored inside the Cleveland breakwater.

THE CASE OF CAPT. DkEYFUS. Th« Court of CuMttoo Obtains tbs Most Absoluts Control Owr tbs Celebrated Cass. Paris, Oct, 31.—By Saturday's decision the court ot cassation obtains the most absolute control over the Dreyfus case. It can demand and examine any documents whatever, including the dossier, of any case bearing upon the Dreyfus matter, and can examine under oath any witness, however high his position. In short, if the court makes a sincere use of its powers, the truth will have a much better chance of being discovered than would have been the cast had it merely ordered revision before another court-martial, whose members might have oeen actuated by a desire to shield the ^general staff. Having "concluded its inquiry, it can present a new dossier to either a civil or a military court for the final decision. Its proceedings will not be public, and there can, therefore, be no objection to a communication to it of j the alleged secret dossier, if this is I still in existence, while the numerous ! generals who have expressed their belief in the guilt of Dreyfus will now be called upon to explain the grounds of their convictions. Although the liberation cf Dreyfus has not been ordered the court can or- : der him brought back to France at any moment, aud will probably do so at an early stage of the inquiry. The court refrained from ordering his re- S lease on Saturday because it would have been a presumption of his innocence. Paul Deroulede, of the Patriotic league, turned the patriotic manifes- j tation at Labourget yesterday in mem- i ory of the soldiers who fell there in s the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 into i a revolutionary demonstration against j the decision of the coiirt of cassation. I He delivered a violent anti-Dreyfus speech. Marcell Habert, member of the chamber of deputies, followed with a still more inflammatory harangue. There were, however, no disorders. Count Esterhazy, it is reported, has written to several generals demanding money under threats of exposure. PARIS IS QUIET.

rhe Feoi>l« Krfns* to be Ltd by the-Anti-Semite Paper*—Hesitate to Accept Portfolios. Paris, Oct. 30.—Nowhere is there any sign of agitation to-day. The city is quiet. The anti-Semite papers vainly endeavor, by abusing the judges of the court of cassation, to lash the public into a hostile demonstration, but the people seem rather inclined to resent the culpability or imbecility of the officers of the general staff who allowed themselves to become the prey of unscrupulous forgers. This refers especially to the officers deputed to investigate the Dreyfus affair. It is believed even now that important facts are "being concealed in order to shield the headquarters staff. Most of the Paris papers approve the decision of the court.of cassation, although the Gaulois and the Eclair declare that even now revision is by no means certain. The Liberte botvs to the decision, but does not think it will end the agitation. The Figaro announces that Comte Esterhazy has been deprived of his 'membership in the Legion of Honor. The Dreyfus decision seems to have delayed a solution of the cabinet crisis, M. De Freycinet is again hesitating ’ to accept the portfolio of minister of war on the ground that, in view of the role the Protestants have played in the Dreyfus case, it would be inadvisable for two Protestants, himself '■ and M. liibot, to hold the portfolios of ■ war and justice. IN THE CITY OF DAVID.

lurir ucruiau luiprnni .niijnum aujnii; Received by Cburch »uil People of Historic Jerusalem. Jerusalem, Oct. 31.—The approach of their German imperial majesties to the city was made through triumphal | arches aiul banners,garlands and evergrowing crowds, displaying in every way their enthusiasm and delight. The formal entry through the Jaffa gate was heralded by the roar of guns at the citadel, where the Turkish baud played the German anthem. From the Tower of David, Emperor William and Empress Augusta Victoria proceeded on foot, amid wild cheering, to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, where they were received by the Catholic, Greek and Armenian clergy, whose patriarchs presented addresses eulogizing the devotion of Emperor William, who has since conferred decorations on the patriarchs. Their majesties then proceeded to the German Evangelical church, where the pastor presented an address. At six o’clock in the evening (Saturn day) a reception was held at the German consulate, and later there was a general illumination of the city with a display of fireworks. Yesterday the imperial pair attend- | ed service at the Evangelical church in Bethlehem, afterwards paying a visit to the Church of the Nativity. A Local Cyclone Stirs Thins* la *h® City - of London. London, Oct. 31.—During a severe storm Saturday night a small area, about half a mile square, around Den* mark Hill, Camberwell, London, waa visited by a cyclone. Cabs were overturned, windows, doors, lamp post*, trees and chimneys were blown down and a number of houses unroofed. The contents of numerous hawkers’ > stalls were carried hundreds of yards j in the air by, the wind, and many pen- i pie were injured by the flying debris, j , which did also immense damage to 1 .rBm.rtv I ' property.
