It is expected that at today's meeting of the peace commissioners in Paris the American commissioners will deliver to their adversaries something very close to an ultimatum. The President is satisfied at last that the Spanish commissioners are purposely delaying the negotiations. The time has now come to cut off all false pleas and to come directly to the main issue left open, namely, the disposition of the Philippines. Up to this point the entire time of the commissioners has been consumed in repeated efforts on the part of the Spanish to force the Cuban debt question.
Sam Ludwig and John Bernright went to Cottonwood Falls last Friday. Upon their return, a dance was held at the home of Jacob Ludwig. A good time was reported by all.
