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. merrimaFhero Given a Grand Reception at His Horne in lowa.

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 ed) Ernest F. Cochran, “Assistant Atto/iey. DIFFERENCES SETTLED.

SAGASTA SAD OVERJLECTIDNS He Had Hoped that the Dem ocrats Would Have Con trol of Lower House. 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.” NEGRO COLONY Will Go from Topeka to Locate at Santiago de Cuba.

TIGERS MEET ® OF ELI, Battle Roval of the Two Great College Teams Takes Place Todav. 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.
