has been playing for time. The Ameri-
cans were anxious for Il decision on the
question Of Il coaling station in the Caro-
line islands, religious tolerance in the
Carolines and the release of political pris-
oners. The Spaniards were unwilling to
answer these points unEl they heard what
the Americans proposed to do for their
industries which hGd been built up by the
Cuban and Porto Ri"an trade.
Tins is why Spain contended that the
articies OF the treaty be disposed of in
their order. while the Americans wanted
to first settle their pressing needs.
