BLANCO'S GREAT SORROW. Weyler Said to be Backed by The Army. London, Nov. 17.—A special from Madrid to a news agency says that at no stage of the peace negotiation progressing in Paris has the Spanish populace been more thoroughly engrossed than the present, when it seems prob able that the two commissions will separate without accom plishing a conclusion ot peace. The feeling has been intensi fied within the last few days when it became apparent that Gen. Weyler was using all pres sure at his command to prevent the Spanish government from agreeing to pass over the Philip pine islands to American con trol. Gen. Weyler’s large following in military circles has been . in cessant in the support of his claim that Spain was not crush ed and that the army was ready to follow his leadership against the Americans. A recent audience by the queen regent w«« usod ci~u. Weyler in urging his p ea, and one of his strongest arguments was a paragraph in a letter from Marshal Blanco to Senator Tin ado, which said: “1 he keenest sorrow of my life is surrendering Cuba with an army of 150,000 men and 200 guns to an enemy who claims to haue conquered Cuba while we are possessed of such re sources.” The Madrid correspondent to The Standard says that there is considerable disappointnent in high quarters at the fiilure of the Spanish peace conmission ers to obtain iinportan conces sions, at least finandal ones, from the United Siate- Senors Montero Ria, Garni ca and Abazuza are eproachod with conducting th negotia tions too much like Lwyers and without sufficiently ttending to the more conciliator suggestion , of their colleagues n the com mission. j In the same straa it is ar gued that Senor lontero Rios , j would undoubted! earn popu- ( larity by declinin to sign peace | on such conditioi and by patri- ( otically throwingp his mission. | i But all sensible people share , i Senor Sagasta’s pinion that it : would be better) secure peace lon any terms, wile protesting against ungenpns treatment. ] The bitternei of the feeling against the bited States is uow greater tlfl ever among all j classes 1 1 The Times, om men ting edi c torially this prning upon the « Spanish sug|6tion of arbitra- t t ,JS=rr-- —1 | popular, amhad innumerable friends.

' • DON’T LIKE IT IT HL ■■/ * . Ask For Spacial Order of Day In Chamber of Deputies. , r. 1 Paris, Nav. 17.—The speech of F Joseph Chamberlain, British see* » retary of state for the Colonies, at b Manchester yesterday has had a j disquieting effect upon French offi j cial circles, where it had been ex pected that the evacuation of Fash* g oda would sati fy Great Britain. Mr. Chamberlain's statements are regarded here as indicating ' Great Britain’s desire to discuss and settle all questions pending, 1 while she is in a state of preparod t ness to exert pressure in support -of her views. I High officials suggest that the i result of the British attitude may . bs«a close understanding between France and Germany on colonial matters. They say suob an under r standing would meet with the sup- * port of Russia, would find ardent adherents among French officers 9 and would be welcomed by the French nation at large. The Soir ’ says: t “The national defense group in the chamber met today and in* i s'ructed their executive commit tee to interview M. Delcaase. miu- 1 inter of foreign affairs, with regaid s to Mr. Chamberlain's speech. I ) was also decided to propose as the order of the day in the obani on Friday a resolution pledging the government to assure the effi ciency of the national defense.” 1 J, U - - , tion regarding the Philippines, refers to it as “obviously futile and absurd.” The Spanish cabinet, says The Times, has no intention of breaking off the negotiates. It is only prolonging them in or der to familiarize the public mind in Spain with the inevit able concessions Certainly there is no need for the United States to send a fleet to Spain, as they could easily enforce submission without that. Spain would b e foolish to sulk, and thus lose the money compensation America is now willing to pay. The Paris correspondent of The Daily Telegraph says: “I understand that Benor Sa- i gasia desires to protract the ( Paris negotiations te the utmost, bjeause he fears, first, that the I signature of a peace treaty will ] be the end of hie public life, and in the second place, became be desires to stave off, if possi ble, the fall of the dynastay.” i CUT THROAT ON SWITCH Exoiwibb Falls With His Nkcx c Across Tbk Stekl Chicsgo, 111., Nov IT.—Engineer Mark Bennett, of the Northwestern Road, fell yesterday and terribly cut his throat on one of the wir.gfe •f a diamond switch.
