the Present Terms.
Chleago, Oet. 29. -- The Tribune's
Washington special says: Tim United
States has decided to claim the entire
Philippine archipelago and the Span-
ish commissioners will be notified to
this effect next Monday. The Spanish
commissioners will be informed the
United States will assume the Philip=
piue debt of $40,000,000. They will also
be notified ~he United States will as-
sume control of Cuba temporarily, in
trust for the people of that island; that
Puerto Rico becomes the absolute prop-
erty of the United States. free from
Spanish debt, and that Guam is to be,
ceded to the United States as a naval'
station. These terms, it is believed, the
Spaniards have practically agreed to.

Refusal to Pass a Vote of Confidence
in the Rod Causes the lteslg~a-
tloa of the Entire Ministry.
Paris, Oct. 26.--Premier Brisson and
the entire French cabinet have quitted
their offices, impelled by failure of a
vote of confidence in the chamber of
deputies. The cabinet crisis came as a
tilting climax to an exciting session.
That M. Brisson had not expected the
blow is evidenced by his surprise at the
resignation of Gem Chanoine, his min-
ister of war, and his confident state-
ments made to the chamber immediate-
ly afterwards. The oppomtmn was
ready, however, and the refusal of a
vote of confidence brought the down-
fall of the ministry. The Brisson cab-
inet was definitely formed on June 28
of the present year, and was constituted
as follows:
President of the Council and Minister of
the Interior--Henri Brlsson.
Minister of Finance--Paul Peytral.
Minister of Edu cation--Leon Bourgeoi.~.
Minister of Justice--Ferdinand Sarrien.
Minister of War--Godefroy Cavalgnac,
who has since been succeeded by Gem
Zurlinden and &en. Chanolne.
Minister of Marlne--Edouard Simon
Lockroy.
Minister of Foreign Affatra~-Theophlle
Delcasse.
Minister of the Coloniea--Georges Troutl-
let.
MiniSter of Commerce--Emile MarueJeul.
Minister of Agriculture---Albert Vigor,
who has since resigned.
Minister of Public Works--Senator Till-
aye, who was succeeded by Senator Godin,
on September 17.

Demand for Possession of Phil-
ippines Formally Presented,
Enlted States V llling to Assume
Debt, Except That Portion of It
Created by the ]Var nnd Ag-
uinahlo's Insarreetion.
Paris, Nov. 1: -- The American com-
missioners presented a written expres-
sion of the purpose of the United States
to take the entire group of Philippine
islands a~d to assume such proportit;n
of the Philippine debt as has been spent
for the benefit of the islands or their
inimbitants, in public works, intt)rove-
meats and permanent betterment.
It was also set forth that the United
States weal d not assume any part of the
Philippine debt which had been in-
curred by Spain for the furtherance of
military or naval operations to quell in-
surrections of the natives.
The session was adjourned until Fri-
day, in order to give the Spaniards time
to prepare a reply.
The session lasted a little over an
hour,

jamin Franklin and his colleagues

l'rement tile Denlands.
Secretary Moore, upon the request of
Judge Day, passed to Mr. Ferguson, the
interpreter, the formulated demands
of the United States regarding the
Philippines. which were read to the
Spaniards i~ their own tongue by a
rapid .rendering from the English, in
which they were written. Although
the Spanish commissioners did not be-
tray anxiety, their attention to the
reading was keen. They had antici-
pated that the United States woul d take
over the island, but the terms and de-
tails of the transfer had all along been
a subject of speculation.
The reading disclosed the fact that
the United States government had de-
termined to posst.ss for itself certain
territory and par~s of land bound by
and lying within such parallels of lati-
tude and longitude as mark the lintits
of the Philippine archipelago. The
United States do not propose assuming
the Philippine debt of $40,000.000. but
they are willing to be responsible to
Spain for a sum of money equal to the
actual expenditures by Spain in the
Philippines for the advantage of the is-
lands and for the good of their people
for permanent i)et~ erment s an d for im-
provements, both physical and mental.
The reading of the presentment spec-
ifies that the Untied States will rcint-
burse Spain to the extent of her "pacific
exl)cnditures" made in the archipelago.
This phrase "pacific expenditures" is
employed to differentiate the expendi-
