The cable announces that Spain has at
last abandoned her attitude Of claiming
any concessions in Cuba and Porto Rico
as a matter Of right, and has now simply
thrown herself on the mercy Of her con.
9ueror. The Spanish representatives did
this at Wednesdays session Of the Joint
peace commission in Paris, acting under
Instructions from Madrid.
They pointed out that only BY some re-
lief from the Cuban debt could the com.
plete ruin Of Spain be averted, and mil.

declaration. The cable containing this
information vas received in Washington

Stubborn Don. Have Bowed to Your

that Peace Negotiations Will Pro-
coed More Rapidly.

1t was announced in Washington Fri.
day morning that the peace negotiations in
Paris were proceeding satisfactorily, and
that Spain had accepted the terms of the
United States in regard to the Cuban debt,
and all matters within the province of tho
joint commission excepting the DISPOSE
ton of the Philippines.
The articles OF the protocol settled are:
1. The cession of Porto Rico to the
United States.
=. The REIMBURSEMENT of all sovereignty
over Cuba and dependent islands, and the
ccssion of Cuba 10 the United States for
its racitication and the establishment of q
stable government.
j. This country assuming no portion OF
the Cuban debt.
i. The cession to the United States o,
an island Guam) in the Ladrone group.
o. The withdrawal of Spain's force.
from the western hemisphere (now going
on.
The one article TO be decided is that pro.
viding that the United States shall occupy
and hold the harbor and city of Manila
and Subig bay until a peace commission
determines the rights OF both Spain and
the United States in the Philippines.
The negotiations We're nearly wrecked
on the Cuban debt snag. The Americans
We're u%nyielding in their refusal to assume
a single dollar of that debt, despite the
threats of the Spaniards to break off the
proceedings. Finally, the Americans re-
naming obdurate. Senior Montero Rios,
head of the Spanish commission, telc-
graplled his resignation to Madrid, and at
fairs became extremely critical. Had his
resignation been accepted, the other Span
ish commissioners would have followed
suit, and the peace negotiations would
have come to al abrupt end. This result
was avcrted by the action of the Queen
Regent in begging Rios to continue.
AS a last resort. the Spanish commits
sioners begged for mercy, declaring that
should Spain be compelled to assume the
whole Of the Cuban debt. it would mean
her utter financial ruin. This appeal was
sent to President Mckinley, and resulted
in the midnight cabinet meeting in Phila-
delphia Wednesday night. The president
and his advisers decided again that Spain
must assume the debt, and the Spanish
commissioners were forced to accept the
inevitable.

GERMANY AT SAMOA.

It is apparently becoming impossible for us to live on good terms with Ger many in any part of the world. Nct content with taking up a hostile posi- tion at Manila, the Germans are naak- irg themselves as disagreeable as pos sible at Samoa. These islands arg governed, it will be remembered, under tripartite agreement between the United States, Great Britain and Ger many. This agreement, signed in 1889 after a conference at Berlin, put an end, it was supposed, to all danger of a war, which then seemed to be threatened by German intermeddline 1t provided for the independence of the Samoan government, the right of the natives to choose their king, but gave -o the three powers an oversight of the administration of justice and the rais- ng of taxes. But an arrangement as fair as this could not be expected to satisfy the German emperor. The fact hat the United States has long had the concession of a coaling station at Pago- Pago and has at last taken steps to cc- cupy the port has driven Germany to declare that she must have similar privileges. No doubt she can get a coaling station in the same way that we did, although Pago-Pago is by far he best harbor in the islands.
 The German proposition now is that he islands be partitioned between the -hree powers-Germany getting, ol ,ourse, the lions share. This would he Ice for Germany, but 1t would be preach of faith with the natives which
