80 EARNEST OF PEACE.
Olney ard Pauncefote Sign the
Arbitration Treaty.
CLEVELAND SENDS IT TO SENATE.

lie President Expresses the Hope That
IT WIN Mark the beginning OF World
wide aud Enduring Amity-King Oscar
to Be the Final Arbitrator.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. - The Anglo
American general arbitration treaty, the
e. rmplctOn Of which was noted in these
dispatches yesterday, has been signed by
secretary Olnoy on the part of the United
States and SIR Julian Pauncefotc, the Brit
ISL ambassador, and is now before the
gcnete for its ratification.
BY its terlus the two English speaking
nations agree for period of five years TO
abide in peace and without n resort TO
arms all possible questions Of controversy
being rciorrpd to u court Of arbitration,
with the single exception that neither ma
ton surcndcrs its honor nor dignity to the
judgment of arbitration
One Of the last points Of the treaty to he
decided was that King Oscar ii of Sweden
and Norwuy is to act as the final arbtra-
tor in case the others fail to agree on the
final member OF the court. This mission
the king accepted by cable, after which it
WIS formally signed 10y the diplomatic rep
rcsentatiyes of the two governments.
The selection Of King Oscar rs final ar
hih1tor adds another responsibility TO
that monarch as he has been heretofore
chosen in connection with the Venezuela
boundary question. His selection closed
one Of the most Troublesome features of
the negotiation. There had been no diff
Guilty in arranging that each country
should be represented by three arbitrators
of cminence in its judicial branches. The
question then arose as to how final de-
cision could be reached with the court
equally divided. Lord Salisbury felt that
the distinguished character of the men
constituting the court would assure free
dom from national prejudice. Mr. Olney
desired TO remove every possibility Of a
deadlock by having final arbitrator, one
who could in case of a tie, cast the con-
Guiding vote This raised further ques-
tion as To the nationality OF the final arbi-
traitor II was felt that in justice he could
not lie an American or an Englishman,
whilo it was felt TO be equally desirous
that such an harmonious agreement be-
tween the two English speaking nations
should not look to a foreigner for its final
determination. Finally, however, rather
than open q possibility Of a tic and fail
ure Of arbitration, King Oscar was agreed
upon in case the Others did not agree in
choosing final arbitrator
by this means not only is arbitration Sc
cured, but arbitration which will be effect
ual and final The period of five years was
fxed as the limit of the treaty as "a means
of observing the efficacy Of the arrange

Event Of the Nineteenth Century.

LONDON, Jan. 19.--Thc Chronicle says
in an editorial:
eve announce this morning the event
of the nineteenth century, and follows
this with the preamble and the text of 10
articles of the general arbitration treaty
signed yesterday at Washington between
the United States and Great Britain.
The Chronicle refrains from criticising
the details OF the treaty, except to say:
"The whole area of possible disputes is
covered, and war is rendered unnatural
and impossible -
The Chronicle warmly congratulates
both countries and all concerned.
The Standard thinks that President
Cleveland's letter accompanying the treaty
shows that he regards IL rather as an ex-
pertinent.
All the morning papers have articles OF
congratulation and agree that the treaty
will make the day famous in tho history of
England and the United States.

menU, tne pulpoat DclhB 10 make tht
treaty permanent if the five year trial
brings the good results contemplated
Aside from the agreement thus entered
into. it is felt desirable TO offer plan of
arbitration as substitute for war which
viii attract the attention Of European
powers generally and lead to a further ex-
tension Of the plan.
The Presidents Message.
The following is the text of the presi-
dents message:
transmit herewith a treaty for the ar
bitration Of all matters in difference be-
tween the United States and Great Brit
ain. The provisions Of the treaty are the
result of long and patient deliberation and
represent concessions made by cnch party
for the sake of agreement upon the gener-
al scheme.
Though the result reached may not
meet the views of the advocates of imme-
diate, unlimited and irrcvocable arbitra-
tion Of all international controversies, it
is nevertheless confidently believed that
the treaty cannot fail TO be everywhere roc
ognized as making a long step in the right
direction and as embOdying a practical
working plan by which disputes between
the two countries will reach a peaceful
adjustment as matter of course and in or
dinary routine.
In the initiation of such an important
movement it must be expected that some
OF its features will assume a tentative char
acter looking to further advance, and yet
it is apparent that the treaty which has
bccn formulated not only makes war be-
tween the parties toit remote possibility,
but prccludes those fears and rumors of
war which of themselves too often assume
the proportions of a national disaster.
1t is eminently fitting as well as fortu-
nate that the attempt to accomplish results
so benencent should be initiated by kin
dred peoplea, speaking the samc tongue
and joined I 'gether by all the ties Of COM
mon traditions, common institutions and
common aspirations. The experiment of
substituting civilized methods for brute
force as the means of settling information
al questions of right will thus be tried un-
der the happiest auspices. It's success
ought not to be doubtful, and the fact
that its ultimate ensuing benefits are not
likely to be limited to the two countries
Immediately concerned should cause it TO
be promoted all the more eagerly. The ex-
ample set and the lesson furnished by the
successful operation of this treaty are sure
to be felt and taken TO heart sooner or
later by other nations and will thus mark
the beginning of a new epoch in ciyiliza-
tion.
Profoundly impressed as l am therefore
by the promise of transcendant good which
this treaty affords, 1 do not hesitate to ac-
company its transmission with an express
sion of my earnest hope that il may COM
mend itself to the favorable consideration
of the senate. GROVER CLEVELAND.
Terms of the Treaty.
The following are the provisions of the
treaty:

An Indignant Protest.

A deputation of some important people
called on General Wcyler to protest against
these doings. They said TO him that thcii
loyalty to Spain was beyond all question,
for they had given many proofs Of It dUr.

of the revolution and friends of public
peace, and they asked that the butcherics
be stopped in the namo of humanity re

LATEST BUToHBRY NEAR HAVANA.

Ruthless Slaughter Defended by General
weyier--A Madrid Correspondents De-
oiares canovns Is Ready to Accept Oh
ney's Plan For Autonomy.
NEW YORK. Jan. 12.-The suns Cuban
correspondent sends the following from
Havana via Key West
A horrible massacre has occurred at the
Paso dc Ia Virgcn, district of Regla, across
the bay from the city Of Havana. Eighteen
persons were assassinatcd by order of Mai
jor fondeviella without any trial and only
ON suspicion that they were sympathizers
with the revolution
This butehery, added TO the crimes al
ready reported which were committed by
Fondeviclla in Guanabacoa, will III one
of the darkest pages i'm the history OF Span
ish warfare In Cuba
No foreign correspondent is allowed 60
investigate those affairs nor 20 send ont
any allusion to them. but the facts cannot
be concealed, in spite of all the efforts OF
the government, because the families of
the victims. their mothers and sisters, cry
ont against the barbarOus acts. Havana Is
tcrrOri2ed over the news and it may be
said with certainty that If Fondeylella IL
not removed from office and such proceed
ings are not stopped i'm y few days only
Spaniards and their relatives win remain
here
What IS inconccivable TO these poor peo-
pie is that no foreign Intervention comes
TO save them They all look TO the United
States as a savior, and the American con-
sulate is filed with protests and evidence
of the massacres. Since Consul Gonoral
Lee came TO Havana hc has never heard
so many complaints against spain as in
the past few days.
Not a single one OF the victims at Paso
de In Nirgen would be sentenced before a
fair tribunal. The real cause OF the slaugh.
ter is that Fondevielln ordered the people OF
Guanahacoa and the vicinity Of Regla 10
make public demonstration in his honor,
and the men whom he killed wore said tc
have been opposed to such demonstration.
After the massacre the demonstration
occurred, and Fondeviella was ostcnslbly
