States peace commissioners held

foreign office, where the commis
gione’s m t and breakfasted
with the Spanish commissioners.
In addition to the commis
gioners and the ambassadors, the
minister of foreign affairs, M.
Delcasse, had invited the three
head officials of the French 'for
office, the first secretaries
of the embassies and Gen. He
grpn, secretary of the Champs
Elysee palace.
The breakfast was purely in
fornul, given by M. Delcasse in
his private apartments at the
foreign office. The Spanish com
missioners arrived first, accom
panied by the Spanish ambassa
dor, Seiioi Leon y Castillo, and
the secretary of the Spanish em
bassy.
The United States ambassador
Gen Horace Porter, and Henri
Vignatid, the secretary of the
United Slates embassy, arrived
at the foreign office before the
American commissioners and
awaited them there. The Ameri
can party arrived on the stroke
of 2:SO, the hour fixed. They
were received in R private salon
above M. Delcasse’s office head
quarters.
The minister met and greeted
each American in turn and then
presented them to the premier,
M. Brisson. Simultaneously

to meet Gen. Porter, whereupon
the two groups moved together
and introductions to each other

In The City of Manlanxas
NEARLY ONE THIRD
Os The City’s Have
Died of Hunger.
Matanzas, Cuba, Sept. 30. —
The suffering of the hun
gry inhabitants of this city is
about io be alleviated. The
Comal’s cargo of provisions will
probably be unloaded today and
stored in an empty warehouse,
fiotn which it will be systemat
ically distributed to the needy.
Spaniards, insurgents, for
eigners, and, in fact, all who are
in need, will get provisions.
Probably no city in the world
is in more need of aid than this
one.
Since Jan. T, 1898, 10,060 per
sons have died here. D< c ors’
certificates snow that 80 per
cent, of these deaths were due to
sta vation.
Many drop dead in the streets
daily, and it is the first duty of
the guaids each morning to look
out for the bodes of [ergons
who died during the night.
The populaticif of Miianzis,
Cuba, is 1890, was given as 36,-
102
commissioners acquainted with
each other. It was planned with
great tact by the French and was
conducted with the utmost dis
cretion.
The French newspapers con
tinue to comment upon the dif
ficulties which the two commis
sions have to face by reason of
their divergent instructions, be
yond which, it is said, they can
not go. Gilbas says :
“The Spanish government has
given its commissioners very
precise instructions. They are
to do their utmost to have it ad
mitted that there can be no
question of disputing the rights
of Spanish sovereignty over Ma
nila, the island of Luzon and tlx
rest of the archipelago outsidi
of the naval stations which
Spam will cede at the Marianne
islands.
“On the other side the Ameri
can commission before leaving
President McKinley receiver
from him very precise instruc
tions, which the commissioners
cannot depart from The follow
ing is tne text of their instruc
tions :
“ ‘First—Spain cedes absoluti
sovereignty over the whole of th<
island of Luzon.
“ ‘Second—The other islands
of the archipelago will be re
placed under the dominion ol
Spain on condien that a liberal
£»< vernment is accorded to tin
inhabitants.
“ ‘Third —Complete separa
t'o i of church and state in ti e
Philippines.
“ ‘Fourth —Spain cannot cede
any other islands in the group
to any foreign power without
America’s consent.
«< «jr ftli—The United St ites
shall enjoy for all time the same
commensurate privileges as the
most favored nations, not ex
cepting Spain herself.’
The GilbLs concludes with
remarking:
“It is therefore to be learid
that for unhappy Spam the ne
gotiations which open on the
Ist of October will give no satis
faction.”
