The Spanish-Ameriean treaty agreed
upon bstwesR United States Minister
Foster and Senior Albacotte, the Spanish
Commissioner, stipulates that its advan-
tagss shall apply only to trade between
the United States, Cuba, and Porto Rico
which. is carried on under the American
and Spanish flag respectively. By its
terms America will admit sugar. molas-
ses and raw tobacco free of all duty. and
the duty on other articles imported from
the West Indies will be reduced. Spain
will place Am erican flour and cereals
imported into her colonies upon the same
footing as those imported from Spain,
and will make large reduction in the
duties on cattle. salt, fresh fish and all
but very few American manufactured
goods. Spain will also suppress consul
lar tonnage duties which are now levied
at American ports, and promises further
to reform custom house, harbor and SAN
itary regulations and fines in her colo
MES. Only a strong government like
that Of Senior Canovas del Castillo, with
docile majoritiss in both houses Of par
lament, could venture to attempt such
departure from prevailing Castillian
ideas Of a colonial policy and from the
old system Of protective tariffs. The
convention is likely to meet with much
opposition In the courts Of Spain.

GEN. PEMBERToN INDICATED.
The Gossip About the Surrender OF
Vicksburg Set at Rest.


Vicksburg Set at Rest.
A story has just been published on the
authority of ''an ex.Confederate Major
who is well posted as to the charac ter of
the war archives in the governments s pos
session." says Washington special. that
money was used to secure the surrender
n. Scott, U. S. A, in charge Of
the preparation of the official his
tory of the late war, and who has had
every opportunity to know what papers
are included in the War Departments
archives, says positively that there is
nothing whatever there that gives the
least shadow of a suspicion that Gen.
PembertOn was in the least particle dis
honest to the cause he embraced. "YOu
see," said Col. Scott, "that any man who
was of Northern birth who went into the
Confederate army was the object of jeal-
ousy and suspicion by the men and
officers of the whole South. Gen. Penn
berton was born in Pennsylvania of
Quaker parents, but he married in Fau-
quier county, Va, and that took him
South"
Gen. Marcus j. Wright, who was a
Major General in the Confederate service
and who collected the Confederate records
for the War Department, says: 'sThere
was always Jealousy of Pemberton
among our people, because we distrusted
a Northern man just as Northern people
distrusted your great Admiral Farragut
and Admiral Fabius Stanley and Gen.
Thomas. When he surrendered Vicks-
burg on July many Of our people con-
nected the date. of his surrender
with treachery and talked pretty
loudly of their opinions. But, as /
tell you, those who knew the man
knew that he was true man to our
cause. Gen. Joseph e. Johnston, who
had quarrel with Pemberton, secuted
the idea of treachery. The gossip, if
wrong, was so extensive throughout our
army-I was then with Bragg's army
that Pemberton resigned his commission
as Lieutenant-General after his exchange
was effected and returned to his rank of
Lieutenant-COlonelo of artillery in the reg
ular service of the Confederate army, and

the surrender was actively engaged about

DEATH FROM A KNIFE we

Henry A. jackson Dies from a and
the COrOner's Jury Decide tT Ben
Wheaton, who Cut Him, Was IT,
> fed.
Henry A. jackson, cOlOred, died ii. Ms
city on Christmas day from the effecSs \
blood poisoning, superinduced by khc4
wound inflicted under the left arm b u
negro named Ben Wheaton. The wouEf
was given on Dec. 81 at the shop kept IN
Sallie Green, cOlOred, corner of Lincolh
street and Jones street lane. Coroner
Sheftali held an inquest yesterday.
The particulars connected with the as
sault, as developed during the inquest,
We're as follows: On Dec. I6 the deceased
warned Wheaton to keep away from the
shop referred to. 1t seems, however, that
Jackson had no interest in the shop and
no authority to order Wheaton to keep
away from it, but why he should have
wished Wheaton not to come there was
not known, as the parties had no difficulty
previously. Wheaton continued TO call
at the store, but, il seems, was afraid of
Jackson, and did not care 10 meet him.
On Dec. 81 Wheaton had a number of
eggs TO sell, and went to Sallie's shop to
dispose of them. After the eggs were
sold Wheaton saw jackson a short dis
tanee up the street walking towards the
store and FASTENED TO get out, but was met
in the door by the latter, who struck him
three or four times, the first time in the
face, with the butt end OF a whip. A second
blow knocked Wheaton into the street,
Jackson accompanying the blows by ours
ing Wheaton and calling him - -,
and by reminding him of the order he had
given Wheaton tn keep out of the
shop. The deceased kept on gursuing
Wheaton, when the latter cut the deceased
and then went away. jackson returned
to the shop when DR.. George II. Stone
was summoned, and found him suffering
from pyamia. AS soon as the death of
Jackson was reported to the Coroner on
Thursday, the latter committed Wheaton
to Jail TO await the result Of the inquest.
The Jury in their verdict attributed the
death of Jackson to a wound inflicted with
a knife by Benjamin Wheaton, and con-
sidered the killing justitiable homicide.
As soon as the verdict was announced
Wheaton was released from custody.

aragua's to be Ratified.

aragua's TO be Ratified.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Congressman Dar-
win R. James, of New York, is a member OF
the New York Board of Trade. Mr.. James
was asked to-day if he had any information
as to the standing of that organization with
reference to the Spanish treaty. He replied:
1.-The New York Board of Trade has taken
no dlrect action upon the subject, but l am
certain that as an organization it is opposed
to the treaty. The Board consists of about
1000 representatives of manufacturing and
Importing interests, and, as far as l have
talked with them, they express the belief that
the treaty should not be ratified"
Have you sounded them upon the Nicara-
guam treaty.
"TO some extent am inclined to think that
the great body Of the members OF the trade
and mercantile organizations of New York
course, some OppOnents?'
"What is the chief basis of the opposition
as far as you have learned?"
There seems to be two grounds for OppOs-
ing the treaty. First, it changes the whole
attitude of our foreign policy and commits the
government to scheme which is not legiti-
mately speaking an enterprise that should be
furthered by Congress. Secondly, the conVen-
ton seems TO clash to some extent with the
Clayton Bulwer treaty, and for that reason it
may disturb our relations with Great Britain.
On the other hand, however, the very fact that
England opposes the measure is sufficient to
win for 1t a large measure of support from a
class which would otherwise strenuOusIy op-
pose it."
"Have you canvassed the strength of the
treaties among the Senators to any eXtent?
Enough to enable me to say that think
the Spanish treaty will be rel ected and the
Nicaragua treaty ratified. .OB
