Nothing is said officially as to what the present ac tivity means, but -there are several reasons for believing that an early movement to Cuba is intended some what sooner than has been generally believed heretofore. Another belief entertained is that the United States government desires to be in a position to meet any conditions that may grow out of the pending peace negotiations, and to be in readiness if Spain refuses to accept the terms the American kpeace commissioners offer. In this connection an intimation has got out to the effect that during the delay which has occurred Spain has been able to form some sort of a coalition with European powers to back up the pretentions she has been making in the nego'iations. Another reason given for 4 proposed movement of the regulars to Cuba is that they are , to repLice the reffiments which have , given some trouble aad have caused disturbance, the last nw being re ported from Geo. Wood's command in Santiago proviuce. It may be that some of the regular regiments are destined to replace volunteers who have b-?n pleading t be s?nt home. Aa-interestiog feature of the matter is the rffusul of the United States authorities t order the muster out of the volunteers who recently returaed from Porto Rico. These regiments were sent to their homes and given sixty da vs furlough, but contrary to the plans heretofore followed, they were not allowed to be mustered but of the service. As to the ten regular regiments, every department of ithe government has been directed to pre pare supplies for them, and to arrange transportation as soon as they are ,' or dered to move. MARIA TERESA ABANDONED. Government Will Make No Farther Effort to Save the Vessel The Colon May be Raised. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. '. Washington, iNov- la The- ar mored cruiser Maria Teresa has been abandoned by this time and lies wreck off the coast of Cat island. 'The department has wired Capt McCalla asfolfews: "If you axe satisfied after consultation with the officers named that the Teresa cannot be saved, 'you are authorized to abandon the wreck. As to any other matters exercise your own judgment JNotify the British authorities. "When you have done all you can return to Norfolk." The captain was subsequently directed to bring the wrecking- tug fotom to JNortoiK with him, when he comes, instead of returning htr to Santiago. The Navy Department has noi yet abandoned the effort to secure at least one of the vessels of Cervera's fleet as a trophy to be placed on the American naval list, although somewhat dis couraged oy tne result of tne ven ture in the case of the Teresa. . As sistant Secretary Allen, who ' has been directly charged with . the matter, has been in correspondence witn tne representative of t the Neptuae Company, a Swedish ce-rpo ration which has remarkable success in floating the lareest type of warships wnen sunken, ine company has made a tentative proposition to wreck the Colon for a salvage, to be arranged in advance between itself and the de partment.

Etlerbee Promises Protection Bat Does Not Think It Prudent for Him to Return While Excitement Ex ists McLaarin's Views. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, November 16. The crovernmcnt has decided to investi gate the circumstances under which James W. Tolbert, assistant postmas ter at McCormick, S. C, was com nelled bv the threats of an armed mob to abandon his office and home. With that view the matter has been E laced in the hands of U. S. Attorney lathrop, with instructions to look the case with a view to the prose cutions of any violations of the Fed- statutes in this or any other cases growing out of the recent troubles in that locality. As a preliminary step Mr. Tolbert has sent a telegram to Governor Ellerbee at Columbia, asking to know whether, as Governor of South Caro lina, he can and will afford him pro tection in returning to his family and office. Following is the text of the telegram, to which no answer had been received when Mr. Tolbert was seen by a representative of the Asso ciated Press to-day: "Washington, ffbv. 15. To the Gov ernor of South Carolina, Columbia, S. C. I am a citizen of South Carolina, where I was born and raised and have always resided. MyJiome is at Mc Cormack, in the county of Abbeville. My wife is postmaster there, and I am her assistant and conduct the business of the office for her, she being a deli cate woman. On Thursday, the tenth instant, I was forced by an organized and armed mob of a hundred men to leave my family and my home un der the threat that if I remained there I would be killed. I there fore fled for safety because I I was unable to resist this mob. I am a large land owner in the county of Abbeville and also the owner of valu able houses and other real estate in the town of McCormick. My wife is there with our only child, a girl four years old, without my presence and mv protection, on account of the ac tion of a a armed mob, and my prop erty is without proper care. I nave committed no crimer'against the laws of my country and have done nothing to give any offence whatever to any man or set of men save that I am a member of the Republican party and believe in the doctrines of that party. I send this to know if you. as Gov ernor of South Carolina, can afford me protection as one of its citizens, and as an employe of the United states government, that 1 may return to my property and my business and be safe from mob violence.

"W. H. Ellerbee, Governor' Senator McLaarin's Vie vs. Columbia, S. C, November 16. United States Senator John L. Mc- Laurin, of South Carolina, who ar rived here to-day from Washington, in an interview about the recent elec tion riots in this State said : Any interference at this time on tne part oi tne f ederal authorities, in my opinion, would be most unwise, The excitement at the seat of the trouDie nas not yet calmed, and any move looking to interference would only make ban matters worse. A con servative course on -the part of the administration would be of incal culable value in restoring things to then right conditions. The State administration is doing all that is nec essary at this tame and it will be most unfortunate for the Federal power to take any action. "Since I have arrived in Columbia and have heard a full statement of the facts of the Greenwood trouble, I want to go back to Washington, where I am satisfied, if I can see the proper authorities, I can make them the unwisdom of- Federal inter ference. The people of Greenwood county are conservative, quiet and law-abiding, and never would have adopted such a radical course if there cad not been exasperating conditions of longstanding."5-. The Governor is using all the means in his power to restore things to their normal conditions. No! Ground for Interference. Washington, Nov. 15. Concern ing claims of interference with the postal service, it is stated at the Post-, office Department that there is no evi dence that the postal service has been interfered with; that officially the de partment has no knowledge of Tolbert, wno is only assistant postmaster at a fourth class postoffice, and there fore appointed and employed by the postmaster and not by the department. The postmaster is the wife of Tolbert and as she is not in terfeved with, the department officials say thetg-iftaothing to show that the department1 should act in the matter. Mr. Tolbert called on Postmaster Gen- erat Emory Smith to-day with a view to securing some action in the prem ises, but was told of the conclusion of the department that there was noth ing of which it could take cognizance.

PEACE COMMISSION -' : SsJ; AGAIN; ADJOURNED. Loot Document Presented by Spaniards. ; The United States Willing to Pay .. for Pacific? Expenditures. ' By Cable to the Hornlna Star Paeis, Nov. 16. The meeting to day :-of the Spanish-American com missioners began at 2.15 P. M. and ended at 3 P. M. The Spanish com missioners presented a long document in answer to the American argument which was submitted last week. By mutual consent, the memorandum of to day was handed to the Americans without being read and the meeting adjourned to Saturday next. The' Spanish communication will be trans lated this evening and its contents will be discussed by the United States com missioners to-morrow' at their daily session. The Spaniards, in their communica tion to-day. reaffirmed the position which they have assumed against the discussion here of Spain's Philippine sovereignty. They insist tba the words "shall determine the control, disposition and government of the Philippines," as article three of the peace protocol, did not warrant any reference to Spain's withdrawal from the Philippines, except on her own terms, and therefore the Spaniards propose arbitration on the construc tion to be placed on the wprds "the control,' disposition and government." Willing to Pay for Pacific Expenditures. Washington; November 16. Up to this point, the discussion at Paris having touched on principle, there has been no attempt to name exact fig ures in relation to the amount of m mey that might be paid to Spain by the United States on account of the Philippines, such, for instance, as the statement that the United States would reimburse Spain "for pacific expendi tures" made on account of the Philip nines, for no one here at the time had an exact knowledge of what taese ex penditures amounted to in the ag-gre- Tnisnas oeen ascertained, nowever, to the satisfaction of the American commissioners at least, and they will name the exact amount of money the United . States is willing to pay over to Spain on this account. What is proposed is a casn payment to tne Spanish government, for the United States does not propose to enter into any relations whatever with any of the holders of any of the bonds issued by Spain, notwithstanding the efforts of some of the foreign powers to bring this result about. As to the amount which will be offered to Spain the officials here are mute, but it is be lieved to lie somewhere between $20, 000,000 and $40,000,000. Our commissioners do not look for an unconditional rejection of our offer but believe that there will be an at tempt on the part of the Spanish com missioners to secure a liberal increase of the amount named. The American commissioners are under instructions to inform the Spanish commissioners that there can be no further delay in the final conclusion of the work of the commission, so that it is expected that a conclusion, one way or the other, will be reached before long to' the peace ne gotiations. The Spanish Argument. Paris, November 16. In signifying their willingness to submit the Philip pine article of the protocol to a third party for construction, the Spanish commissioners to-day urged that as there is obviously a difference of opin ion regarding the phrase "the control, disposition and government of the Philippines," possibly the result of a misunderstanding, the Spaniards should no more be asked to surren der their view than the Americans to surrender theirs. The memo randum points out that a dead lock exists, which might be broken by arbitration on the contending views, but to which the . Spanish commis sioners are quite ready to submit. The latter declare that they have no idea of suggesting arbitration as to the main issue, which touches national honor on both sides, but they are will ing to accept exterior aid to clear the path of negotiation. 1 It is safe to say that the American commissioners will not consent to invoke exterior aid to construe the terms of their own protocol. Another part of to-day s Spanish memorandum flatly asserts, upon tbe authority of M. Cambon's reports of the protocol negotiations between Washington and Madrid, through him, that President McKinley at no time objected to Spain's reservation of her sovereignty in the Philippines. This allegation is directly opposed to the American record on the same subject The American commissioners now hold that the protocol itself was born of Spain's attempt to reserve her Phil ippine sovereignty, though the Span ish memorandum to-day squarely chal lenges the contention. Moreover, the Spanish commis sioners to-day have alleged that Presi dent McKinley's objection to Spain's phraseology in accepting the peace terms was based solely, so far as was made known, upon this sentence in the Spanish acceptance: "They ac cept the proffered terms subiect to the approval of the Cortes of the Kingdom as required by their duties. ' The Spanish memorandum to-day holds that M. Cambon answered the American objection to this by point ing out that the Americans' terms were preferred, subject to the approval of the Americans, but that President McKinley replied that he did not de sire to involve the internal affairs of Spain in the proceedings in hand. The Spanish memorandum asko. also, why. if the United States ob jected to Spain's reservation of sover eignty, they did not plainly say so m the protocol and "leave no room for argument. It asks why Judge Day's note of August 10th did not clearly declare that the United States would not recognize such reservation, and that the protocol was necessary to prevent a misunderstanding on that point. It also asks why did Judge Day's note practically ascribe the in explicit form of Spain's acceptance of the peace terms to telegraphic errors. wnue tne exact terms or Spain s re servation of sovereignty, as had in Washington before the protocol, are now being quoted in the proceedings nere. , This portion of the "Spanish memo randum is based upon letters written by M. Cambon at the time, purporting to describe interviews and transac tions attending the peace terms and protocol. , Un Saturday, the date fixed for the next meeting, the Americans will make their response, in the course of which it is not unlikely that the exact terms and precise time limit of their acceptance will be communicated.

Mer rill's Views as to Filipinos and Their Leader, i A guinaldo. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, November 16. Re ports of a somewhat disquieting nature have been received from Gen. Otis, in command at Manila. He says that the province of Iloilo.j in the island of Panay, which is technically occupied by the Spaniards, is surrounded by the insurgents and that fears are en tertained that the Spanish population and garrison will be massacred by the insurgents. The capital of the pro .vinoe is 355 miles from Manila, but this and the other -islands, with the ex ception of Manila and 'its adjacent country, is not under the control of the Americans. Heretofore the United States officers have tried to prevent disturbances between the insurgents and the Spaniards, through good offices and counsel. The indications are, however, that the present situation in IloUo cannot be controlled by the United States army at Manila or the insurgent leaders there, and if serious consequences are averted some other method will have to be adopted. The troops under Gen. Otis are not available for any such" duty, and under the terms of the protocol, pending peace negotia tions, it is not desirable to send a force from the army to the island of Panay. There is no intention at pres ent of sending additional troops to Gen. Otis, but the situation is such as to strengthen the determination of the administration not to reduce the available force now under his com maud. den. Merritt Discusses the Filipinos. London, Nov. 16. General Wesley Merritt, U. S. A., who is still in this city, has read with a great deal of inter est the long letter of complaint against American officials in the Philippine Islands, addressed by the so called Filipino Junta, Hong Kong, to Presi dent McKinley and the people. In discussing the Filipinos, the Ameri can general refers to them as children, and sa s that it would be impossible to establish American government in the islands. He adds that they must have some form of colonial govern ment, similiar to the British colonial governments. Regarding the com plaints of the Filipinos, the general says: "It was impossible to recognize the insurgents and I made it a point not to do so, as I knew it would lead to complications. Admiral Dewey, after my arrival, pursued the same course. What was done before is not for me to comment on I, purposely, did not recognize Aguinaldo or his troops, nor did I use them in any way. Aguin aldo did not ask to see me until ten days after my arrival. After that, I was too much occupied to see him. "In talking with leading Filipinos I told them the United States had no promises to make, . but that they might be assured that the government and the people of the United States would treat them fairly. This was because the United States is in thg habit of dealing fairly with all struggling peoples, and not because I had been authorized to say anything of the kind. "We purposely did not give the in surgents notice of our attack on Ma nila because we did not need their co operation and did not propose to have it, w e were moved oy lear that they might loot and plunder and possibly murder. Aguinaldo's subordinate leaders, in conversing with American officers, frequently said they intended to cot the throats of all the Spaniards in Manila. '"Aguinaldo himself wrote a com plaining letter, sayiog the insurgents had been denied 'their share of the booty,' whatever he may have meant by that. I took no notice of this let ter nor do I thinkithe subject now raised is a matter for discussion be tween Aguinaldo and any representa tive of the American government. A NEGRO REGIMENT. All tbe White Officers of the Sixth Vir ginia Have Resigned. By Telegraph to the Morning 8tar. Richmond, Va., November 16. All the white officers of the Sixth Virginia regiment, colored, have resigned, ex cept Lieut. Col. Croxton, and Lieut. Healy and Richardson. The lieuten ants are on special duty and are not immediately in command of negro sol diers. A letter received here from Capt. W. S. Faulkner tells of the troubles the white officers have had. The soldiers, while obeying their white officers in a sort of perfunctory wayj are sullen and make things very un pleasant for their officers. Cot. Orox- ton advised that all the recently ap pointed officers resign. He hoped to build up a fine regiment under ca pable officers, but has been disap pointed. Gov. Tyler has not acted upon the resignations. He is said to be opposed to appointing negro officers, and will probably try to have the regiment mustered out and thus end this un pleasant feature of the war. COLORED IMMUNES. ' The Tenth Regiment Tbreaten to Loot a Store at Macon, Georgia. By Telegraph to the Morning Btar. . Macon, November 16. The Tenth regiment of colored immunes arrived here to-day from Lexington, Ky. At South Macon, thirty or forty of them with side-arms attacked Reeve's store and threatened" to loot it unless their demands were complied with. Then they formed a line across the street to prevent any one being sent to call for help. The negroes failed to cut the telephone wire, however, and a large detachment of provost guards, under command of Captain Bailer, arrived and with fixed bayo nets forced the negroes into a lot and arrested thirty of them. They were marched to the city jail. SOLDIER KILLED. Shot by a Saloon- Keeper at Hants ville, Alabama. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Hunts ville, Ala., Nov. 19.
