What the commission of peace
say of the $10,000,000 for the
Philippines, is that it represents
permanent aud valuable im
provements made by Spain with
Spanish money. It is not in
payment for “sovereignty.”

A practical recognition of how
much Spain’s deterioration has
been hastened by the war is to

hits just reduced the compensa
tion of her Ambassador to Mad
rid while she has increased that
of her Ambassador to this coun

that: “Hie congress of these

of Paris, has made such outra

said, been suppressed. Part of
the article, which is’ illustrated,
gives what purports to be ex
acts from the Kaiser’s diary,
which show him to be displeas

Sea of Galilee, but determined
to try agnia at Berlin, when the
