il DEMANDS ON SPAIN The Dons Must Release All Claims to the Philippines FOR A GASH CONSIDERATION. Spaniards May Try to Get a Higher Offer Thau the Proposed by the Americans, ltur InXhlsXhey Will Be Disappointed. Paris, Nov. United States peace commissioners have undoubtedly made their final proposition here. When the conference opened yesterday after? noon Judge Day.

addressing Senor Mpntero Rios and his colleagues of the Spanish commission, recurred to the protracted negotiations and reaffirmed the desire of the American commis? sioners to roach an amicable conclusion. Then, handing the American presenta? tion to the interpreter. Judge Day con? cluded his remarks by saying that the Americans, preferring not to break the armistice or to resume hostilities, had determined to present another and Anal proposition, which he hoped would load to a speedy and amicable adjust? ment. That portion of the presentation set? ting forth the new proposal, the pro? posal that the United States must have possession ot the entire Philippine archipelago, with a tender of $20,000, for a treaty cession of the Islands, was then read. Without betraying their mental attitude the Spanish com? missioners suggested an adjournment until Wednesday.

The new proposition, with its collat? erals, was embodied toward the end of the American memorandum, which rilled 30 typewritten sheets. Only this part was read in the joint session, the memorandum being then delivered to the Spaniards for translation by their own staff. Spain's proposition to invoke the of? fices of a third power to construe the words "control, disposition and gov? ernment of the Philippines" was re? jected by the American commissioners on the ground that the diction of the third article of the protocol, dealing with the Philippines, is so broad and clear as to afford no Justification for ar? bitration as between the parties to the agreement. An analysis of the American mem? orandum shows that all other sug? gestions and considerations in it hinge upon treaty cession, at the amount named by the United States, and with? in one week. In the event of cession Spain may enjoy for a term of 12 years rights of commerce in the Philippines equal to those cf the United States.

If the United States acquire the islands by conquest Spain may not enjoy such rights. Should Spain refuse cession she would remain liable for indemnity claims, na? tional and individual, since the out? break of the last Cuban insurrection. Should she refuse she would also lose, probably, as further indemnity for the expenses of conquest one of the Caro? lines, which she may not now sell, and other cable privileges within Spanish jurisdiction might be taken by the United States without any return to Spain for them. Today the Spaniards doubtless do not know whether they will accept or reject the American terms. They are telegraphing the substance of the American memorandum to Madrid, and they expect to reply at tomorrow's meeting.

Possibly they may conculde that because one money offer is made another and a larger offer may fol? low pressure upon the American com? missioners. But if this be their ex? pectation it will not be realized. The American terms, submitted almost at the close of eight weeks of patient hearing and painstaking argument, are a practical ultimatum.

In tho War Between the States the Deiith List From Disease- Far Ex oeeded That For the Same Period lu the War Spain. Washington, Nov. Charles Smart, deputy surgeon general of the army, has sent a communication to Surgeon General Sternberg, comparing the deaths from sickness in the war I With Spain and In the civil war.

He says in part: "In reply to your Inquiry I can very promptly state that the sickness and mortality during the war with Spain was not relatively so great as that from which our volunteer troops suf? fered during the civil war. "In April, 1861, President Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers, but it was not until July 22, when his call for 500,000 was made, that we, had armies comparable in size with tnose recently in existence. Beginning, then, with July, 1861, when we had medical re? ports from regiments aggregating only men, and including August, Sep? tember, October and November, five months, we find recorded a loss by death of Ii.075 men in the reports sent in by medical officers from an average strength present of 177,690 men, or 17.31 deaths out of every thousand men during that period of five months. "In April, President McKinley called for 125,000 men, and later for 70,000, which, with an Increase In the regular army and the immune and other special regiments, made a total of over 270,000 men. Beginning with May, 1S9S, for which month we have medical reports In the office of the sur? geon general of the army from regi? ments aggregating 151,685 men.

and in? cluding June, July. August and Sep? tember, rive months, we find on file a loss by death of only 1,715 men report? ed by medical officers, In an average strength uf 167,168 men. or 10.31 deaths out of every thousand men during that period of live months. "Mortality from disease reached its maximum in the camps of our civil war only at the end ten months. If we count from July.

1SG1, or at the end of 12 months if we count from May, 1861. when 47.56 men had been buried out of every thousand of strength present, or, to put it otherwise, the maximum monthly mortality was reached only after ten or twelve months of suffer? ing, during six of which the mortality was greater than that of the disease which did so much harm in August last. In that month the country be? came excited over the hysteric utter? ances of yellow journalism, with 4.08 deaths per thousand, and the morale of the army became broken by making the volunteer believe that never in the history of armies had' men suffered from disease as he and his companions had suffered. Yet 37 years ago the Hower of the manhood of this country, after months of deadly losses, suffered in April. 1S62.

more than twice the loss incurred in August last, am! instead of going home on sick furlough they gird? ed up their loins for the attack on Richmond by way of the peninsula." Autrustn's Mill Strike.

The accident happened about two and one-half miles west of Jersey City, Just beyond the Hackensack river bridge. At that point there are four tracks, two devoted to passenger and two to freight traffic. At the north are the shops and the tracks of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad. Foreman Quirk took out a gang of 19 men at 8 a. m.

to repair track No. westbound freight that place. Quirk saw that the fog might mean danger, so he sent ahead two men, Lawless and Doherty, to give warning of approaching trains. Lawless was to go west and Doherty east, and cover all the tracks. They were to shout warnings at the approach of trains.

The passenger tracks wers kept busy with Incoming suburban trains, and the dense smoke and steam from these trains helped to make the atmosphere more dense. Suddenly, about 8:30. there was a shout from Lawless, who was the ad? vance guard of the gang. "Train on No. 3." he cried.

It was an eastbound freight train that came along slowly, leaving behind It a heavy pall of smoke. The men, who were scattered along the track, Jumped out of the way. Al? most all of them Jumped over to track No. 1, the eastbound passenger track. The heavy smoke enveloped them, and the men, many of them new hands on the road, shivered with fright, for they could not see and could scarcely hear the approaching trains that followed the freight.

Lawless, too. had Jumped across to track No. 1, keening all the time a sharp lookout. Suddenly there was a rumble of wheels and the shriek of a whistle. The Millstone local, delayed by fog.

was coming along at the rate of 40 miles an hour. Lawless was struck and thrown 30 feet away, man? gled and bleeding. On went the train. Engineer Van Nostrand had scarcely noticed the man's body flying through the air when the engine struck Doher? ty: then It ploughed into the mass of cowering men, who stood huddled to? gether on the track. "It was an awful sight," said the en? gineer later.

"There was a mass of legs and arms flying through the air. I was drenched with blood. I knew that something terrible had happened, and put on the air brakes as hard as possible." When the train came to a standstill the passengers rushed out. The track 1 was drenched with blood. The mead? ows and the track looked like a battle? field covered with bodies.

Tho shrieks of the dying drowned the cries of the horrified passengers. Women fainted and men turned away in horror. Of the 19 men nine were dead and six wounded. Someone telephoned quickly to Jer? sey City. Many of the bodies, still In mortal agnny, were placed on the train and borne to the city.

Two of the wounded died on the way. A relief train brought back the others. C0S1 Ui- GUV.uF.:;M::NT. Flgnros Showing Where Our Day Comes From. Washington, Nov.

recent dis? cussion as to the revenue producing qualities of the present tariff law lends especial Interest to a series of tables Just issued by the treasury bureau of statistics, showing the receipts from various sources by months during a long term of years. An examination of those figures shows that the customs receipts of the treasury department now amount to one-half of the ordinary expenditures of the- government, which is about the usual proportion alloted to that branch of the revenue producing service. The ordinary expenditures of the govern? ment, aside from those of the post office department, which is practically self sustaining, are usually calculated at about 51,000,000 per day, and aver? aged during the years 1S94 to 1897 $360, 600,000 per annum, and at about the same rate In 1898. omitting the Pacific I railroad and extraordinary war ex? penditures. The general plans of those charged with the duty of providing the revenues for the government have con? templated the production of one-half of the necessary expenditures from cus I toms and the remaining half from in? ternal revenue and miscellaneous sources.

The daily statement of receipts and expenditures issued by the treasury department shows-that on Nov. 17, the I 140th day of the present fiscal year, the customs receipts bad during: these 140 days amounted to $73.340,429. Of this sum a little over $1,000,000 was from the duty placed upon tea by the 1 war revenue act. The receipts from customs during the past ten years have averaged $15,199, 000 per month. This ten years' term Includes the operations of four tariff lows.

The monthly average of receipts from customs Is given in the following table: Ten years. August to December, 1S97. 9,227,000 Jan. 1 to Nov. 1, 189S.
