The session of the commissioners lasted until 4 oclock, at which hour the commissioners adjourned, to meet at 2 o'clock next Friday afternoon, such interval being desirable and necessary to allow separate consideration by each commission of matters before the joint commission. The interval will he thus filled with work by each commission, the ultimate results being so facilitated. The secretary of the Spanish commission will arrive tonight and the interval will also be employed by the secretaries jointly in maturing plans for the work of procedure. The opinion is now held that the work of the commissions may he finished within a month from the present time. While it is the general impression that the meeting was again devoted to preliminary work and that the adjournment to Friday was taken only to enable the secretaries to draw tip a schedule of work, the report is current that the session was highly important and that the Americans have made a demand of such a character that the Spanish find it necessary to ask for an adjournment in order to enable them to consult with the government at Madrid. It is believed that the question concerns the Philippines, and it is known that the Americans are highly pleased at having so soon reached what they consider a very important phase of the negotiations, and consider the two sessions thus far held as very satisfactory to America. The fact that a member of the commission expressed the belief that work would be completed within a month indicates a happy frame of mind. In the Spanish camp great hopes are built on what they believe General Merritt will advise, namely, that the Filippinos are incapable of and that the whole situation does not warrant America in taking the responsibility for the entire Philippines. The Spanish commissioners are quite ready to give whatever America asks in the way of coaling stations, but will resist more, to the verge of a renewal of hostilities. peace Senate Joint Resolution No. 9.

Tudor Jenks contributes to the September St. Nicholas an account of The Voyage of the Oregon, with illustrations by an artist with the fleet. Mr. Jenks says: Thursday, April 7, the Oregon sailed, in a dense fog, ran by the city of Valparaiso one night without giving (he Spanish residents a chance to carry out any plots they might have formed, and within nine days was off the Strait of Magellan, near Desolation inland. Entering the strait, the Oregon anchored for the night in a small bay, thirty miles inside. In the darkness a little fishing-vesspassed not far from the Oregon, and the Yankee sailors were at their guns quicker than the searchlight could be turned on the stranger. At daybreak next morning she was under way again, making 101 miles in eleven hours, with her men at the guns, and cleared for action, ready for the torpedo-boat which, as a matter of fact, was thousands of miles away. At halfpast six in the evening the Oregon reached Punta Arenas (Sandy Point), a settlement devoted to selling coal and provisions, and stopped to coal the men leaving their hammocks in the nettings and sleeping about the decks in the short intervals of their hard work. The Marietta arrived next day, with dispatches she had brought from Valparaiso. These dispatches showed that matters were coming to a warlike situation, and whenever a strange vessel appeared thereafter, the sailors at once went to the guns, ready for trouble. At daylight on Thursday, April 21, the anchor was raised, and under light forced draught the battleship started through the strait, always on the keen lookout for the tiny torpedo-boat (hat was supposed to he lurking there like a coiled rattlesnake In a path. At the narrowest point, called the Engllah Narrows, the channel is but half a mile wide, and here the speed was reduced and all the sailors peered about for the treacherous little foe the only thing a battleship dreads. The scenery in the strait was superb lofty mountains, grea,t glaciers coming to the waters edge, and inlets opening here and there. Once in the Atlantic ocean, the great vessel gladly swung around and pointed her prow toward home and Cuba. As yet the people on board knew nothing of what was going on between America and Spain. They met two merchant steamers, but could hear nothing later than they already knew. And yet, while the Oregon was on her way to her next port, Rio De Janeiro, war had been declared; Dewey had set sail for Manila; the Spanish torpedo-boa- t Temerario had left Buenos Ayres; and Spains fleet, four cruisers and three torpedo-boatunder Cervera, being ordered away by Portugal, had left the Cape Verde islands. el snow-covere- d s gen-ei- Ce!ea F orehodlng.
