SPAIN RECEDES
FROM HER ISLAND
Request for More Time Indi
cates that She Will Yield
a Point.
MffllE SOVEREIGNTY
Will Not Be Insisted on With the
Same Determination that
Was Expected.
Tty Associated Press.
Washington. Nov. 12—A special cabinet
meeting was held today to consider a dis
patch received from Judge Day in Paris
"which informed the president that the
Spanish commissioners had asked addi
tional time to prepare a reply to the prop
osition submitted by the United States.
Although the president and his cabinet
advisers are exceedingly anxious that the
negotiations proceed as rapidly as possi
ble the request for additional time will be
granted and the Spanish commissioners
will be given until next Tuesday to pre
pare a reply.
The state department is uninformed of
ficially that Judge Day Is ill in Paris. A
long report was received by cable from
him this morning relative to the work of
the commission hut made no mention of
th .'physical condition of the sender,
whence the department infers that he is
not seriously ill.
it is believed that the next meeting of
the joint session of the joint commission
the Spaniards will yield one important
rttep, namely, they will at least tacitly,
by beginning the argument of the question
to recede from the refusal to allow the
question of sovereignty of Spain over the
Philippines to be questioned. Jf this sur-
Bnise is well founded then the two com
missions will be brought face to face with
"the adjustment of the details of the propo
sition of the transfer of the Philippines to
She United States.
The attitude of the insurgents in the
Philippines has given the administration
considerable uneasiness. For it is feared
that if these Insurgents are allowed to
continue their hostile activity, there will
be a protest which we shall be compelled
to regard.
The difficulty of the situation is that
the Insurgents are operating at points
outside the island of Luzon, where the
V iit<'l States in not in actual possession,
and where it would be difficult to place
Iropos to maintain a statu quo. Neverthe
less, it is believed to be incumbent upon
vur government to do something in this
direction and the military and naval au
thi'rities at Manila will be so advised.

THE NE WS.
NO INTERFERENCE
IN CAROLINAS
Quiet Reigns There Todav
and Federal Authorities
Have No Rights.
NOT 11 THEIR SCOPE.
The Attorney General is Informed
bp His Assistant That the Mat
ter is Not in his Jurisdiction.
By Associated Press.
Washington, Nov. 12—Except in the un
locked for event of a recurrence to race
rioting in the Carolinas it is altogether
improbable that a government will inter
fere by force or otherwise.
The attorney general had con
ference with the president this morning
regarding the matter and the conclusion
w’as promptly reached that as the demon
strations were not directed against the
collector of customs in the performance of
his duties as such the government had no
authority under the constitution or laws
to exercise its -federal authority.
Collector Talbert was shot while away
from home and on business entirely dis
connected from his office and under these
circumstances the government, it Is said,
has not a shadow of right to interfere. If
the collector had (been shot in the dis
charge of his official duties and in an ef
fort to enforce the laws of the United
States the case around have been very dif
ferent and the duty of the government
would have been clear. In the present
case, however, it is said the lawless acts
of the mob were not directed against -the
execution of the laws of the United States,
but against an individual. The case would
have been the same had Tolbert been shot
on the highway by a robber.
The administration officials have no
sympathy with the Carolina rioters, and
regard their -acts with -abhorrence but up
to this time it is said, there is no evidence
to warrant any interference -by the gov
ernment.
The attorney general late last night sent
the following telegram to the assistant
district -attorney at 'Anderson, near Phe
nix:
“(Department Justice. Washington, Nov.
11—Ernest F. Cochran, assistant United
States attorney, 'Anderson. You will at
once -take energetic steps, incurring the
necessary expense to ascertain exactly the
situation at Greenwood and adjoining
counties and report the same immediately
by wire to me, with a view- to advising
me whether any such condition of insur
rection or disturbance exists as justifies
the federal -authorities interferring to sup
press it. (Signed) John IW. Griggs,
“Attorney General.”
To which the following response was re
ceived from Anderson, Nov. 11:
“To (Attorney General. Washington,
D. C.—(My information is that much riot
ing has taken place near Greenwood and
Phoenix on Wednesday. Several negroes
were killed and wounded. One 'white man
was killed and several wounded. On
Thursday there was also some rioting but
the condition is quieter. My information
that it is quiet there now though the com
munity is very much excited. From all in
formation I have -I think federal interven
tion is too late now. It seems that the
mobs are especially anxious to get Tol
bert and I am informed that they now are
safely out of reach. Intense excitement
still prevails there, but there is no violence
now. Will wire further .tomorrow. (Sign

iU FOB BETTER TERMS
As the Result of Control by the
Democrats of Some Part of
Congress.
By Associated Press.
New York. Nov. 92. —A dispatch to the
Tribune from Madrid says:
The result of the United States elections
came as a surprise (and a disappointment
to Sagasta, who had confidently expected
that the Republicans would at least have
lost control of the house of Representa
tives. The Spanish cabinet is convinced
that the elections upon .which it has -been
counting to obtain better terms at Paris,
have resulted in nothing -that can aid
Spanish diplomacy.
The intended visit of Emperor William,
in honr of which Admiral Camara’s squad
ron is under orders to proceed (to Cartha
gsnia, now furnishes another straw to
clutch nt. The queen regent, whose health
is visibly repaired by the strain of the last
eight months, thinks the wisest course to
be pursued would be for the cabinet to in
struct the Spanish peace commiission 'to
frankly concede the American demand of
the Philippines and <to work honestly and
expeditiously to frame a treaty.
Not so, however, with -Sagasta, who is
still sparring for time, and hopes to suc
ceed 'in one more gigantic bluff. He now
says (that the cabinet will request the au
thorization of the cortes before it can con
sent to abandon the Philippines, -and he
is reported to have informed the Spanish
commissioners that they have no mandate
to discuss such a eventuality.
The marked sympathy for Spain ex
pressed almost unanimously -by the Ger
man newspapers, coupled with the pur
chases at 'Berlin and Frankfort of Spanish
exterior and Cuban bonds, the German
holdings of which have been quadrupled
during the last three months, -gives an ex
aggerated significance to the intended
visit of the German emperor and empress,
lit is not yet known what the emperor’s
plans may Ibe on Ms arrival at Cartagena
on November 19th, but as soon as the FHo
henzollern reaches that naval station the
imperial pair will -be invited by an auto
graph letter from the queen regent to vis
it Madrid.
i Lord 'Salisbury’s reference to the Amer
ican republic as a factor in Asiatic and
possibly in European diplomacy which
might not deduce to the interests of peace,
is widely commented upon here as
Strengthening the prevailing 'impression
that the Germans wish to intervene in the
Philippines. All buit the extreme Weylei
ites dread the consequences of a resump
tion of hostilities iby the United States,
which, they are aware, would probably in
volve the loss of the Canaries, and this,
in spite of the present German lining to
the cloud, remains the irresistible motive
that must eventually determine the cabi
net to reconsider the instructions that it
is now believed to have sent -to the Span
ish peace commissioners.
The ministry of fln'ance has in hand the
project for the conversion of the Spanish
exterior bonds and the funded debts of
Cuba and the Philippines, the idea being
to maintain the treasury guarantees of
the Philippine (bonds and Cuban bonds of
the six and five per cent denominations,
but to reduce the interest to 3% and 3 per
cent respectively. This pai’tially accounts
for the firmness of Cuban bonds in Peris
and Berlin, where speculation on them is
unusually active.
CUBANJTROOPS.
Great Difficulty is Now in
Disbanding and Finding
Work for Them.
By Associated Press.
New York, Nov. 12—Captain Justo Gar
cia, the son of General Calixto Garcia, of
the Cuban army, who was a on
the United States transport Berlin which
arrived from Santiago de Cuba yesterday
said in an interview: “We are being con
fronted by several very serious conditions,
■the chief one is the disbanding of our
troops and the convention now in session
at Santa Cruz is trying to solve the ques
tion. This convention has one great ob
ject in view and that Is to disband the
troops which now comprise about 30,000
men and to secure work for these men.
“The assembly proposes to appoint a
commission to consult with the govern
ment officers at Washington as to the best
way of disbanding. When that has been
accomplished the commission will endeavor
to raise a sum of money to be divided
among these men so they can re-establish
their farms. To do this, it would take at
least $50,000,000. Overtures will be made
to the United States to advance this sum
to the Cuban government as soon os it is
formed and our government will be the
security. If the United States government
does not care to, advance such a sum the
commission will try to form a syndicate
of American capitalists to advance the
money.
“All the Cubans feel that the United
States will give them absolute independ
ence, but before doing that the United
States should occupy every part of the
island. Personally I believe in a govern
ment similar to that of the United States,
that is the land that fought for us and it
Is the land we intend to favor in every
way. I do not think my father would ac
cept the presidency of the new republic.
He has worked unceasingly for over thirty
years to establish the freedom of Cuba
and when that has been accomplished
finally and forever he intends to take a
rest.”

FORECAST OF THE GAME
Gives Promise of One of the Best
Games Played this Season-
Chances on Princeton.
By Associated Press.
Princeton, N. J., Nov. 12 —The day of
the great contest at football between Yale
I and Old Nassau opens with ideal weather,
clear and cool and a tremendous crowd
will be in attendance this afternoon at
Brokaw field. The sons of Eli have
journeyed down to Princeton in great
, numbers, cheerfully expectant of witness
ing their eleven “twist the tigers’ tails”
to use the illiteral but forceful expression.
Whether or not this is going to happen it
is not possible to forsee now.
The fact that Princeton plays on home
grounds is of course a large factor in her
favor. It is true that the Princeton men
have practiced nearly the whole season on
the regular Varsity field and that Brokaw
field, the scene of today’s struggle, has
been used only during the last few days.
'But what makes the difference is not the
ground itself that is played on but the fact
' that it is at Princeton and surrounded by
a -Princeton crowd the game is to be won
and lost. •
Yale must meet her own adversity, the
Tiger in his very lair. That this means a
great deal to the Princeton -team there can
be little doubt. It must be admitted at
the start that Princeton has this advan
tage. Princeton has never yet lost to
Yale at football on her own grounds.
Princeton has another advantage over
Yale in the matterof “killed, and. wound
ed.” The Tigers are in no better training
than -the men from New Haven as far as
physical condition and endurance goes,
indeed it is to be doubted if they are in as
-good. The Yale team this year, like the
Yale team last year, has not one over
trained man. But the difference is in the
matter of serious injuries to important
men. The hospital catalogue at New
Haven has been quoted often enough not
to need repetition. De Saulles goes in to
day with an ankle that will not last
through the game unless the gods grant a
special dispensation.
Any one who witnessed the Yale-
Princeton game last year will realize what
■proportion of the Yale teams effectiveness
consisted in De Saulles dodging runs after
catching punts.
Morris Ely, Yale’s next best man. is
put at quarter. He is a fierce tackler and
handles the team on the offensive With a
col head but he cannot justly be called
upon to equal De Saulles in back field
- work. If the latter goes out of the game
today before the finish, Yale loses the ser
vices of the best quarterback on the grid
iron today. De Saulles’ ankle is the most
important injury that affects the game to
day and the others need not be dwelt
upon. To come to a more minute compari
son of the two teams, the rush lines are
about equal with the scale tipped a little
-bit lower perhaps on Princeton’s side.
Marshall and Cutten are unknown quan
tities in a championship game and it is of
course possible, that the former may out
■play Crowdis, and the latter out play
Booth. Both men are hard aggressiveplay
■ers, especially Marshall, while Cutten is
as strong as an ox; but Booth has played
in one championship" game and Crowdis in
■two. Brown is justly expected to out
class Edwards. The latter is a skillful,
as well as bandy player. A he-avy man
who Dlays low is always hard to handle*
and Edwards owns twenty or thirty
(pounds more beef than the Yale giant.
In addition to this Edwards has Hil
brand-t at his side and the Yale star guard
ought to have his hands full with these
two Princeton veterans to face in spite of
the fact that he out-classes both of them.
Captain Chamberlain is the best tackle
on the gridiron today and possibly the best
man that ever played the tackle position.
He has however, a worthy -opponent in
Ger. It is reported Ger is looked upon at
Princeton as a better man than “Billy”
Church used to be. This is saying a great
deal. It is safe to say that Ger uses his
to very great advantage and plays a beau
tiful game especially on the offensive. He
certainly surpasses in effectiveness the
famous Hildbrandt.
On ends both teams have new men and
it is about an even thing. Eddy, Coy,
Hubbek Poe, Lathrope and Palmer may
all get a chance in the game and there is
no particular reason now -for classing any I
one of them ahead of the other.
Back of the line the advantage is plain
ly with Yale and this too, though the
Princeton backs are by no means in the
class they are popularly supposed to be in.
V-ere it not that Mcßride and De Saulles
are in the Yale contingent the Nassau
quartet would average better than the
blue. Benjamin and Durston are the final
selections of Yale’s half back positions
Dudley and Oorwln being both oue of the
game on account of injured knees. Town
send is the probable substitute.
Yale’s defensive game promises to be
weaker in the centre than Princeton's tan
dems, but she will be aided by one impor
tant fact. Mcßride and Durston will be the
rush line backs and both weigh more than
190 pounds a piece. Such weight as this
coming to reinforce the tackles ought to
prove disastrous to Princeton’s. Mcßride
and Durston will be Yale’s main reliance
for the offence in line bucking on account
of their weight. A word must be said
about Benjamin. He is a veteran o f years
experience and though he has been ill un
til very recently the Supporters of the blue
are most satisfir-q to see him enter the
game today.
Princeton’s offense will consist of
heavier interference than Yale. She will
probably use most of the time in her usual
tandems sliding outside tackle. Black is
her particular dependency for running with
the ball. He plays the best game of any of
the Princeton backs and aided by Ger’s
interference he has the chance to make
his reputation this afternoon. Yale will
probably get the best of the kicking game.
This is not because Mcßride will kick
further or more accurately than the Nas
sau punter, but rather because De Saulles
will run back Princeton’s punts to such
an extent that their actual gain will be
considerably less than the gain made by
Yale from punting.
It Is probable that both aides will at
tempt trick plays more or less. But as
these are hatched in secret practice this
statement is a mere conjecture.
