Jerome.: WASHINGTON LETTER. , (From Our Regular Correspondent. Washington, D. C. Nov. 7. 1*1* S To break off the Peace, nego tiations is the very thing that Spain does not desire to do. That was made fully* apparent in the answer of the Spanish Commissionners, declining tc consent to our demand for the whole of the Philippines. Spain wishes to get as much money as it possibly cau from us, for the Philippines, and it the negotia tions are broken off, it would not get a cent, while we "would get the Philippines just as surely as we would if thje treaty was regu larly concluded. There are good reasons for the belief that Spain would object 4oost decidedly if our Commissipners should with draw their demand for the Phil ippines, which! they are not like ly tp do, and substitue a propo sition that the islands should be returned fa Spanish control. One of them is that a* return to Spanish control would be a phy sical impossib lity, owing to the strong insurgent army of Agui naldo, which; would be in abso lute control of the in tire group of islands within a. week after the.wiihdrawnl of the American forces. Spain knows that the islands are los t to her. and, even li it aid not money indemnity from ns, would doubtless prei t roiled by the them control ge^tsi So fa expect to get er seeing them con U.

Nearly .6verv .naval officer who has ex pressed an opinion on the sub ject, has decjljared that,.the trans port should bp under the navy, as they are under the British system. Col.

Denby. “Ab solutely,'’ was the answer. “While they are acting togeth er?'1 queried Col. Denby. “They won't act together," answered Cen. Lawton; “That is where I make my point; two men cannot command the same.affair." Cen. :r Law urns declaration .that t lie army and navy won't act togeth er may be a little too; sweeping.

Washington, D. C., bet. 28.— President McKinley issued the following Thanksgiving procla mation: By the President of the United States A PROCLAMATION The approaching November brings to mind the custom of our ancestors, hallowed by time and rooted in our most sacred traditions, of giving thanks to Almighty God for all the bless ings he has vouchsafed to us during^the past year. Pew years in our history have afforded such cause for thanks giving as this. We have been blessed by abundant harvests, our trade and commerce have been wonderfully increased, our public credit has been improved and strengthened, and all sections of our common country have been brought together and knit ted into closer bonds of national purpose and unity. The skies have been for a time darkened by the cloud of war; but, as we were compelled to take up the sword in the cause of humanity, we are permitted to rejoice that the conflict .has been of brief duration and the losses we. have had to mourn, though grievous and impor tant, have been so few, consider ing the great results accomplish ed. ais to inspire us with grati tude and praise to the Lord of Hosts. We may laud and mag nify His holy name the cessation of hostilities came as soon as to spare both sides the countless sorrow and disasters that attend protracted war. I do, therefore, invite all my fellow-citizens, at home as veil as those who may be at sea or sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe Thursday, the 24th day of Nov ember, as a day of national thanksgiving to come together in their several places of worship for a service of praise and thanks to Almighty God for all the bless ings of the year, "for the mild ness of the seasons and for the frujitfulrifess of the soil, for the continued prosperity of the peo ple. for the devotion and valor of bur countrymen, for the glory of pur victory and the hope of a righteous peace, and to pray that the Divine guidance which has broipght us heretofore tc safety and honor may be graci ously continued in the years to cqtne. !
