Spain Said to- Have Consented to.
. Civil Trial For G Competitor
Prisoners.
This action the Result Not Of q
Request, but a Demand
by Olney.
Weyler Will Thus Be Deprived
Of an Object Lesson to Other
,Filibusters.

New YORK, Sept Is "A special from
Washington to The Herald says the
Spanish government has yielded to the
demands of the United States for trial
by civil COURT of the Competitor pris-
oners. The formal announcement is
expected in the next mail from Minister
Taylor, in Madrid. Secretary Olney
has insisted from the first that the men
Eere irregularly tried, and in violation
Of the express treaty stipulations. He
requested a retrial, not by way Of favor.
but as a matter Of right, and in answer
to inquiries from members Of the senate
committee on foreign relations, he en-
phatically stated that the administra-
ton would never submit to the carrying
out of the sentence of the SUMMARY
courtmartial.
A Matter of Relief
It is a matter of considerable relief to
the authorities here to know that Spain
has found it expedient to comply with
the demands Of the United States in re-
gard to these men. For some time past
it has been considered one of the most
troublesome questions in dispute be-
tween the countries. It is understood
that this action will be a great disap-
pointment to Captain General Weyler
and other Spaniards, who were anxious
for the execution of the men as an ex-
ample fo1 others engaged in flibuster-
ing, but it is hoped that time has served
to allay the bitter feeling which existed
in Spanish quarters when the men were
captured 1t was stated then that
General Weyler would resign if the
Madrid authorities overruled the decis-
ion of the drum head courtmartial,
which he approved.

AROOSTO0K POTATOES BOOM
Freight Rates on Maine Product
are Now Reduced.

BANGOR, Me-, Dec. 16--News of the
greatest Importance to ArOostook county
was announced here to the effect that the
Bangor l. Aroostook officials have finally
perfected arrangements with the Maine Cen
trail, Boston Il Maine and other lines for low
freight rates to New York. which will make
1t possible to ship ArOostook potatoes to
= New York instead OF having them rot in the
cellars and storehouses OF AroOstOOk county,
The ArOostOok potato market has been de-
pressed for some weeks. The Bangor Il
Aroostook could not OF course, afford to
stand alone the loss which would follow q
large reduction OF freight rates. Last year
the Bangor Il Aroostook, Maine Central and
Boston 4 Maine formed an agreement and
reduced rates, to enable the shippers Of
potatoes to send them from Aroos-
took to Boston and other points,
TO compete with other producing Sec
tions. 1t made difference OF many
thousand dollars. but there were three roads
10 and 1t. BY the new rates just obtained
TO New York, Arocstook will be able to COM
pote successfully with the West and South
IN the New York market. and will ship better
potatoes than any other section. Not only
will rates to New York be cut. but the most
direct servic, will ba given.
There Is little loss from decay in Aroos-
took po:a. ,es, and they are easily pre-
ierved. Hence, there Is u great demand for
Aroostook potatoes, but there would be no
profit unless low freight rates could be OBJ
tanned.
The shipm snt OF potatoes from Aroostook
recently has been very small. Prices were
80 low that no one would sell. preferring to
let them rot. As result Of the depressed
)tato market. general business In Aroos-
took was knocked in the head. and the de-
preston there affected Bangor directly. as
this is the distributing point and supply
centre. The prospects for potatoes are
therefore hailed with jog here, as in Aroos-
tonk

TREATY FOR PEACE.
Plan of General Arbitration Be-
tween England and U. S.
Terms Practically Agreed Upon
Will Stand Five Years.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dee. 1.-THE ne
gotiations between the United States and
Great Britain for treaty of general ar
bltration, covering all subjects Of difference
between the two English speaking nations,
present and prospective, has advanced to a
stage OF completeness far beyond what the
puDlic has had reason to believe.
The purpose of secretary Olney and Sir
Julian Pauncefote Is to conclude the nego-
tiations within the next three weeks. All OF
the substantial features of the treaty have
been agreed upon.
-u5fEseP Il 'feMavetr me 'rtnowfns "Cattis-
important terms of the treaty.
First-A term of years from the date OF en-
change of ratification. within which the treaty
shall be operative.
Second-A court of arbitration of six
members, three to be drawn from the ju-
dietary of the United States and three from
the Judiciary of Great Britain.
Third-The submission TO this tribunal
OF all differences between the two nations
now pending or to arise within the period OF
five years, this not to include the Behring
sea question or the Venezuela question, now
before independent commissions. but to in
clude the question of the boundary between
Alaska and British North America.
In the judgment of those who have been
prominently identified with the treaty, it
will be the most important document OF q
peaceful character In the history of the mll-
tual dealings OF Great Britain and the United
States.
The president made passing allusion to
the subject in his recent message 1t had
been understood, however. that the main
purpose of Mr.. Olney was to reach an agree
ment as to Venezuela, and having accom-
plished this, the larger question OF arbitra-
ting all differences would require considera-
bic time for its complete development.
But tho negotiations have proceeded with
unanimity. so that those engaged
in the work believe that the signatures of
the contracting parties will be placed to the
documents within three weeks. This will
give fully two months for their considera-
tion ut the present session of the United
States Senate, and unless some unexpected
obstacle should arise in that quarter,
there is every reason to anticipate that
the treaty will be made effective before
the close of the present administration.
Aside from the points previously referred
to, it can be stated that the terms Of the
treaty are such as to practically ''clear the
board" OF all the vexatious questions which

was one of the first erected in its neighbor-
hood, but its lines are graceful and pleasing
to the eye, and the architect, George A.
Freeman, OF New York, has determined that
in the remodeling about to be commenced
the outer walls shall be very little disturbed.
The grounds contain about 130, 900 square
feet with frontage of about 27O feet on
Bellevue avenue, Newport's famous drive.
A small but well-kept greenhouse and a
gardeners lodge are connected with the
place, and Mr.. Whitney, as Is now the GUS
tom, will have u large stable erected on
grounds near by, but not adjoining those of
his summer residence.
The villa was built nearly forty years ago
by Mr.. Wolf. A few years later 1t was pur-
chased by Mr.. Clarke, of Boston, who dis
posed of it to Theodore W. Phinney, who, in
1870, sold the estate to John Knower, who
occupied 1t almost continually summers till
he died there four years ago, soon after he
had sold the house and grounds to his SIS
ter, MIS-. Abel French, and her daughter, the
Countess Suzannet.

Mrs. Oliver II. p. Belmont, is below, along

Deeds OF the place to Mr.. Whitney and
those transferring 1t to his wife, formerly
Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt, to whom it was
Christmas gift from her husband. are about
to be placed on record here, and then will
begin the work of transforming the house.
In the meantime Mr.. and Mrs. Whitney are
travelling around the world, picking up here
and there rare and valuable pieces OF fqrn-
ture. which ara to aid in rendering their.
