ELIZABETH TOWN,
TUESDAY, MAY 2. 1920.

Rejection Of the Spanish ITeGtv.-We
have just been Informed, from source on
which we can rely, that in Consequence
OF an adherence OF the Spanish cabinet TO
the extensive grants OF Florida lands as
signed TO the Duke de Aiagan and Punon
Rostro, not having been relnquished in
the treaty of which general Wives is the
bearer 10 our government, and which We
are told has been signed by Ferdinand,
that the President of the United States
had not only rejected the treaty, bat also
refused to receive General Wives as the
Minister from Spain. These facts are ex-
lPected to be communicated to Congress
with.-Washingtoa City Gasette.
Spanish 7reaty-The following arti-
Gle is from the National Intelligencer Of
Friday last:
Inquiries having been repeatedly made
ofus, respecting the authority of the re-
ports in circulation of an interruption of
the intercourse between our government
and the Spanish Envoy Extraordinary, we
think it proper to say we have heard
nothing confirmatory of these reports, aud
that, from all We can learn, they are, to
say the least of them premature.
Several Of the members of the house Of
representatives have obtained leave of
absence, and some have already returned
home. The circumsi ance would seem to
indicate the expectation of a protracted
session Of Congress.
Men, York Election. The general cleo
ton in the state Of New York closed on
Thursday last. De Witt Clinton, the
present Governor of the state, and Daniel
d. Tompkins, Vice President of the U.
States, we're the opposing candidates for
the Office Of Governor. From the returns
of votes received, We cannot form an opin-
ion as TO the result.
