Judge Day Wires Secretary of State OF
Conclusion of the Work.

Washington. December lQ.-The Official
news Of the signing of the peace treaty was
received in Washington little later th"A
the press re- ',orts. 1t was III cipher and as
usual from Judge Day.
1t was at once transmitted to the prcsi-
dent, who was alone at the time. but with
H. :. comparatively snort time all the meIn-
bers OF the cabinet had either called on
sent their congra iuiations.
The presidents congratulations were
promptly cabled to the commission hut
the news ot the signing, having been SO
thoroughly discounted in advance, the ac-
tua! receipt Of the official adyices created
little stir mere.
There was 4 general feeling OF relief,
however, that no unforeseen circumstances
interviewed at the last moment to block tho
peaceful close Of the negotiations.
The Atlanta constitution., 1898-12-12

wrote their signatures on two copies of the
treaty, one copy being for the archlVeS.
The document was prepared by secretary
Moore in behalf OF the United States com
mission and by Senor Niliarutia for Spain
on account of the continued illness of
Secretary ojcda, of the Spanish commits
sion.
Each copy contained the English and
Spanish texts of the treaty in parallel col
umns. The wording had been approved
previously by the commissions without
Joint meeting. so there was no controversy
on this subject.
