AND THE UNITED STATES
ALMOST COMPLETED.
1T PROVIDES FOR PARDON
FOR THE INSURGENTS WHO HAVE
CARRIED ON THE CUBAN CON-
TEST.
TO Go Into Effect as Soon as the
Terms Are Accepted by the
Rebels.

WIS HINGTON, Jan. 13.-The agree
ment between the United States and
Spain regarding the terms to be grant
ed to the Cuban insurgents was prac-
tically concluded today. 1t is neither
treaty nor a diplomatic memorandum
1t is compact or agreement between
the United States and Spain upon the
terms that the latter is willing to grant
the insurgents. 1t provides for capitu-
latlon and pardon Of the insurgents for
whom Gen. Gomez is expected to sign
the treaty
There are to be three parties to the
agreement. The United States does not
act as representative of the insurgents
There are still some minor details to
be arranged, and these may occupy at
least ten days more. BY the end of
January, however, the terms will be
complete and be laid before congress
In special message from President
Cleveland, being simultaneously pro-
mulgated in Madrid and in Havana.
The provisional draft of the new
terms was embodied in lengthy com
muntcatfOn addressed to Senor de LONE
from Premier Canovas. This was
brought by Senor Pablo Solaray Guar
d1sta' who arrived here from Madrid
on Monday. It included not only the
amendments to the reform law of 1895
professionally stated that Spain is now
willing to grant, but also a draft of a
treaty between Spain and the insur-
gents, upon the signing of which the
REFORMS are to go into effect.

could get them, and poor so far as their
own circumstances and my ability to
aid them would permit. I have issued
contracts for the greater portion Of
these lands, and they are now occu-
pied by actual settlers under these
contracts, whom 1 will protect in all
their rights.
AT the conclusion Of the arch
bishops testimony, Chief Clerk
Stoddart, Of the railway companys
land office, was called, and testified
that the company had always consid-
cred the archbishop as the purchaser
of these lands since the execution of
the second contract in 1883. Both these
contracts and much other documentary
evidence was submitted as conf1rma-
tion of the archbishop's claim to these
lands by absolute purchase from the
railway company. The hearing has
progressed with the utmost good feel
ing, the settlers and sub-contractors
expressing perfect confidence that the
archbishop would protect them to the
minutest detail in their every right.
In these dispatches yesterday this pa
per was made to say that if the arch
bishop prevailed the settlers would be
heavy losers. 1t should have read If
the adverse claimants prevailed the
settlers would be heavy losers.

OLNEY TURNED DOWN.
Senate Refused to Fix Treaties as
He Suggested.

WASHINGTON, jan 13-Secretary
Olney was turned down by the senate
in executive session today in his effort
to have the vote on the extradition
treaties by this country and the Orange
Free State and the Argentine Republic
reconsidered for the purpose of with,
drawing the senate amendments. He
was beaten at every point. At the
conclusion of a tWo-hour session. the
senate resolved to stand by it's original
decision not to accept the treaties with
out amendment protecting American
citizens. The secretary had requested
in long letter that the senate amend
ments making these treaties conform
to custom in these matters by making
1t optional with this government wheth-
er Its own citizens should be extradict-
ed from this country, should be with
drawn.
Almost the entire session today was
given to speeches by members of the
committee on foreign relations showing
why there should be no change in the
custom which had the speakers said,
worked we'll for over hundred years
Speeches were made by Senators Nor
gan, Davis and others, and it was
stated that the committee stood as a
unit in opposition to the innovation
proposed by the secretary of state. At
the conclusion of these speeches the
senate decided, without division, to al
low it's previous decision not to ratify
the treaties without amendment to
stand thus ignoring the secretary's re-
quest

RUM THEFTS THESE,
Stealing of Logs Leads to Many
Arrests.

PRINCETON, Mimi, Jan 13.--The
lumbermen who have been operating
on Rum river for the past two years
are striking terror to the hearts of
FARMERS along the classic river The
lumbermen have for several years miss
ed logs from their drives, but it was
not until within the last few wears
that the losses have affected any firm
seriously. At present there are less
than a quarter of the companies doing
business on Rum river than in former
years and the thefts of logs have,
therefore, become a matter Of impor-
tance to each one. Reed & Sherwood
are 100000 feet short on the last two
drives and other firms have lost in
proportion. 1t is no longer possible for
the log owners to dispose Of their prop
erty on bank scale,' but it is now
necessary for them to drive their logs
and sell on 'boom scale"
Last year the companies interested
sent a scaler on a still hunt and O.
mass of evidence was collected, but
the lumber men thought this would
brighten the thieves and no further
less would be incurred, so no arrests
were made. This Ienience proved to
have exactly the opposite effect, and
during the past year the losses have
been greater. Determined to put a
stop to the stealing, the companies
nave this year sent out F. H. Douglas
prominent scaler and estimator, and
as a result, the owners of all the small
mills between AnOka and the lake are
under arrest. In many instances the
stolen logs were found in these mill
yards, and in one instance some were
found on the mill bed ready to be
manufactured
The arrests, however. are not confined
to the mill men, but have included
many farmers whose lands front on
the river. The method pursued in Sc
curing the logs is to logan" them,
that is. to pole the logs back from
the river during high water, so that
when the driving crew arrives it will
be impossible to get them without haul
ing them back with teams or at great
less Of time. In many instances trees
are felled over the logs so that it is
next to impossible to get them. The
following winter the banked logs are
hauled to some local mill to be manu-
factured.
The principal losers are Reed & Sher-
wood, Page Bros, and John Goss, Of
AnOka, and Messrs. Smith and Libby
of Minneapolis.

tiOnal case which has aroused great
interest because of the parties in
terested was on trial in the circuit
court today, going to the jury at 5
O'CLOCK. 1t Is the case of A. r. Ham
mond against E. A. Shores Jr The
plaintiff sues for $4,000 damages The
defendant is the son of E. A Shores,
the heaviest lumber operator in this
vicinity, and the family is known in a
business and social way all over
Wisconsin, and also in the west
half Of Michigan, as they resided at
Manlstee before they came here ten
years ago. The Shores have the finest
residence in the city, and are very
prominent socially. Hammond was en-
plOyed couple of years ago as a
driver Of the American Express COM
pany'S wagon, and became acquainted
with the youngest daughter of E. A.
Shores, Miss Bessie. The family tried
10 discourage the young man, as they
ala not consider his station in life suit
aple, but could not break the attach
ment. The daughter was sent to school
at Duluth, and young Hammond went
there to work, and continued his atten-
tlons to the young lady. E. A Shores
Jr;, the eldest son, while in Duluth,
called at Hammond's room and took
twenty letters of Miss Bessie's. Ham
mond tried to see him, and a fracas
resulted. Shores succeeded in carving
away the letters. Hammond then com
menced suit against E. A. Shores Jr.
for $4,000 damages for assaulting him
and taking away the letters, claiming
that his feelings were injured to this
extent. The defense admitted that
Shores took the letters, but set up as
defense that as a brother he had a
right to them, and that Hammonds 3
feelings would not be damaged by
having them pass into the hands Of a
