THE FINAL MEETING, «EIGHT HOURS OF ARGUMENT WITH THE

"FILIPINOS.""

Owing to yesterday's inclement weather the Filipo commissioners did not visit the Oregon as was planned. Instead, an eight hours session was held with the McKinley Commissioners at their residence in Malate General, Otis was not present as his duties at the Aginta miento clained the entire day!

The time was occupied in discussing re- sident McKinley's praclamation, considering cach clause piece by piece. The recent pro clamation of the Connaissioners was, analyzed in the same manner, and the form of govern ment approvext of by the president.

The questions of schools and higher educa tion, personal liberty and the powers and responsibilities of the general advisory council received pafticular attention, Aguinaldo's representatives were not satisfied with the provision concerning political fiberty, and felt that the arrangement was rather too one-sided in that respect but they were pleaserl with the well-defined separation of church and state. The day's work was apparently płoductive of good results. One of the comunissioners said that if his people understood the system they would probably be satisfied. To-dhy they will return to make their report to Aguinaldo.

It was too late to avert the disaster and the two vessels came together with a crash. The Glenegle cut the Kingston in twa and the two parts quickly separated and drifted apart. The purser and night watchman went through the Kingston's deck, awakening the sleeping passengers and the crew,

The firemen poured up out of the fire-room and the engineers escaped sickly from the engine room to the decks, crowding and jostling against each other in their excitement. Many of the crew escaped in only their night clothes while those sleeping mure lightly or nearer deck were able to seize some clothing. Afen and women struggled with each other for places in the rigging, realizing that the steamer was sinking.

The officers of the Kingston got out life boats and the Glenagle's crew had one of its lifeboats into the water before the big liner had been stopped.

As the Kingston's passengers were being laken off, one of the masts toppled over and of persons bad congregated, and the frail fell across the deck-house, where a number structure gave way beneath the weight.
