BOSTON, Jan. 11.-George T. Wash

as follows:
"We are to be congratulated upon

that in the recent election, nearly halt

THE TREATY SIGNED
BY WHICH PEACE is ASSURED FOR
FIVE YEARS

Between Great Britain and the United
TO Be Settled Without Resort to Arms
Document Sent to the Senate With tho
Approval of the President.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l2.-Secretary Oh
ney, in behalf of the United States,
and Sir Julian Pauncefote. on the part
of Great Britain, have affixed their
signatures to a treaty by which, for a
term of five years, the two English
speaking nations agree to abide in peace
and without resort to arms, all possible
questions of controversy being referred
to court of arbitration, with the single
exception that neither nation surren-
ders its honor or dignity to the judg-
ment of arbitration. Later in the day
President Cleveland sent the treaty and
a message earnestly approving it to
the senate. The treaty consists of IL
articles and in print would fill about
one newspaper column. One of the
Last Points to Be Decided
was that King Oscar II of Sweden and
Norway is to act as the t.:,.tl arbitrator
in case the others fs.l 70 agree on the
final member OF the court. The accept
ance of the king and the final agree
ment on that detail was not cabled to
Washington until late Sunday night,
and even then one small detail re-
manned to receive the approval Of the
British foreign Office. At IL 20 a. IN.

way clear for the formal execution of
the instrument.
The IL articles constituting the treaty
deal with the subjects which are to be
submitted to arbitration and the man.
ner in which
The Court of Arbitration
is to be constituted. The language
used in embracing subjects before the
court has been chosen with the greatest
care, the purpose being to make the
terms so comprehensive that no ques-
tion can arise in the ordinary dealings
between the two governments which
will cause a resort to war. The article
which makes an exception in the case
of an insult to the national honor also
was so carefully framed that ordinary
questions which to some extent involve
nations honor could not be brought
within it. In short, the terms of the 12
articles are believed by Mr.. Olney and
Sir Julian to cover every usual contin-
gency by which difference could
arise between the United States and
Great Britain.

SPANISH BUTCHERIES.
Evidence of Them Is Accu1nulating at
Guanabacoa.

"uhnaDACOa.
NEW YORK, Jan. "a Key West
dispatch to The World says: Evidences
Of awful butcheries at Guanabacoa accu-
mulate daily. Advices from Havana
report that great pit filled with
corpses and human fragments was dis
covered Monday i'll cane field not
more than mile from that place. A
careful investigation revealed at least
20 whole bodies, and many more legs
and arms, other parts Of the dismem-
bered bodies being missing.
Of the bodies remaining entire, four
were those Of women, three of young
misses, one of girl not more than 10
years old, four Of boys and the rest of
men.
Permission to bury the remains were
brutally refused, with a threat that if
this slaughter was complained of many
more would be added to what Spanish
officials called the "Cuban dirt pile"
The edict refusing permission to re-
move furniture and other things, unless
asked for "a hours previously, is taken
advantage of by the Spanish soldiers to
wreck buildings and revile and insult,
if not kill, persons suspected of Cuban
leanings. Some families i'll the poorer
section of the city, who did not know
of the edict, started to move Sunday
night. After they had loaded their
furniture on wagons, the police and
soldiers fred on them, killing eight
persons, including several innocent
passersby.
In the official report it was stated
that the troops had been attacked, and
that several rebels had been killed.

DUN'S TRADE REVIEW. -
Failures OF the Year just Past the SUBJ
ject of Comment


New YORK, JAN Or. G. Dun g.
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:i
The year 1897 begins with one clear ad-'
vantage-the past year has swept out
OF the way great number of unsound
concerns which, i'll any time of activ-
ity, would have been dangerous to
business Of the 1926 commercial
and banking failures i'll 1896, with
liabilities of $276,S15, 749, large share
represented crippling losses in previous
years, or the violence of speculative
storms i'll 1895 Or the first half of 1896,
while thousands more resulted from
the fury OF the political tornado last
fall. Banking failures amounting to
500, ,7lS,915 during the year, averaged
$l56, 1876 each and We're 145 per cent
larger than in 1895. Commercial fail
ures amounted to S226, ,096,S S34, a little
over 81, 100000 having been added by
the last day of the year, but the aver
age of liabilities, $l4,992, was smaller
than IN some years of great prosperity.
Over four-ffths of the increase in
manufacturing and trading failures
was in lumber manufacturing, ITO per
cent; dry goods, so: wooden manufac-
turing, 161; clothing trade, 20; shoe
trade, 81; leather and shoe manufac
turers, 1877; grocery trade, SO; machin-
cry, 70; milling, 1T; furniture, 80,
and printing, 81. In 10 other branches
the increase was moderate in amount,
and in five, with the unclassified man.
ufacturing and trading failures, the liza
bilities were smaller than in 1896
While banking failures have not
ceased at the West, apprehension about
them has almost wholly subsidized and
no serious influence upon general trade
is now expected. Many sound con-
Germs were doubtless caught by the epi.
demic, but practically all the impor-
tant failures are traced to disregard of
law and of banking sense at periods
small distant. It is felt at the West
that all business will be the sounder
after its purging.

A ToGA FOR HANNA.
Asserted by Those Who Know TIL
Mark Will Go to the Senate.

Asserted by Those Who Know That
Mark Will Go to the Senate.
CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 1.-THE opin.
ion among those who claim to know is
that Senator Sherman will be offered
and will accept the secretaryship of
state in Mr.. McKinley's cabinet and
that Mr.. Hanna will not be one of the
cabinet advisers Of the next president.
It is believed to be certain that Mr..
Hanna will be appointed as the sue
cessor of Mr.. Sherman in the senate, a
place which he very much prefers to
any portfolio which the president elect
could offer him. Inasmuch as the
senatorial appointment would have to
be made by Governor Bushnell, the ar
rangement herein suggested is said to
Indicate the Friendly Feeling
which Senator elect Foraker has for
the PRESIDENT and for the chair.
man Of the national committee.
Regarding the selection of Cornelius
N. Bliss of New York for secretary of
the navy, it is said that Mr. Bliss has
been offered the place, but that he de-
ferred his acceptance until he could as
certain whether he could SO arrange his
business affairs SO as to permit of his
taking the place.
General Alger of Michigan is counted
as certain to be the secretary of war.

The Battle Took Place in the "Pacifled Z"
Feeling Among spaniards in Havana
Is Growing
NEW YORK, Jan ga Key West
dispatch to The World says: Reports
from Pinar del Rio contradict General
Weyler's statement that all is calm and
peaceful there. A large detachment of
insurgents attacked on Monday con-
voy OF supplies 90 miles south of Arte-
mlsa, defeating the Spaniards and cap
turing large supply of camp equip
ages and ammunition.
Near Plnar del Rio city on Tuesday
400 Cubans, hidden in dense thicket,
fired on 500 Spanish cavalry passing,
throwing them into confusion. The
Spanish rallied and charged, only to
plunge into deep trenches prepared for
them. The Cubans had withdrawn
after the first fire, but as the Spanish
horsemen
Tumbled Into the bitches,
the insurgents fired into the mass with
great rapidity, causing great slaughter.
Attracted by the firing another Spanish
squadron dashed up and was met with
whitening fire from the concealed
Cubans. The troops finally retreated.
after losing perhaps rs men. The
Cubans lost only five. The Spanish Of
fcials, however, claimed great victory
i'll their official reports.
The anti-Weyler feeling among the
Spanish i'll Havana is growing, and,
but for rigid orders and the spy system,
all open revolt against him would be
begun, even by the officers of the pal
ace. News from Gomez has disqui-
eted the palace officials.
Some other engagements. .
Advices received from Havana show
that on Jan. 3 the insurgent force COM
manded by Juan Delgado opened fire
on the forts az Calabazar, province of
Havana, but were repulsed. On the
following morning the insurgents re-
newed their attack simultaneously on
several forts. The bullets flew thickly,
many Of the missiles penetrating dwell
ings. The troops finally compelled the
rebels to retreat
Advices just received confirm the re-
port of Calixto Garcia's force of 5000
men holding Jiguani in state of siege
for five days, General Bosch raising the
siege at the end of that time, and the
rebels being compelled to retreat to-
wards Santiago de Cuba, but afterward
countermarching i'll the direction of
Holguin.

Great Britain was delivered to the sem
ate at 3 o'clock. Afterwards in execu-
tive session it was referred to the COM

being read was ordered to be printed
The presidents message transmitting

Senator Morgan suggested that the
treaty should be made public, but Sem
ator Sherman, as chairman of the COM
mittee on foreign relations, replied that
it should be examined by the commit

being published. This suggestion was
accepted with the understanding that
the committee should have the privi-
lege of making the treaty known.
