teen or fourteen articles. The princi pal articles provide for the cession and evacuation Of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, and the political, ad ministrative and financial results thereof; the requirement. by the United States of public property and relin- quishment of the archives.
 The articles of secondary importance declare the status of Spanish subjects remaining in the ceded territories ana unfinished law suits and contracts: guaranty of the same terms to Spanish shipping and merchandise in the Philippine islands for ten years, and leaving the status of Spain's com merce in the West Indies to be deter mined later.
 An important provision is a guar anty of religious freedom in the ceded territories, in the same terms as the Florida treaty, the Americans having steadfastly refused to incorporate any guaranty of a determination by the United States to favor the property of the Catholic church, leaving it subject to the general laws, on the same foot ing as private property.

THE SPANISH PROTEST.
A Strongly WOrded, But Futile DoCu-
 menf.

Paris, Dec. 9.-Senor Montero Rios, president of the Spanish peace commits sion, and Senor Ojeda, secretary of the commission, are still confined to their beds. The illness of Senor Ojeda de lays the expressing of the treaty and it is doubtful whether it will be signed before Monday.
 The Spaniards made their last stand yesterday on the assembling of the commissions. Senor Montero Rios then presented vigorously worded protest in which the Spaniards declared that they yielded to force, but that they invoked the support of nations against the abuse of the rights of na- tions of which they were victims. The protest was for the purpose of record and consisted of an argument in sup port of every concession demanded by the SpaniardS and which the Ameri- cans refused, some of them peremptor- fly and without discussion.
 The protest continued: But these concessions which we are obliged to make touch us less than the insult which has been inflicted upon our na- -tion by President Mckinley in his message. We again protest solemnly against the accusation hurled against Us in connection with the Maine, and we intend to again Subm.d the question to an internatioal tribunal, comprised of England, France and Germany, to determine who shall bear the respon- sibility of the catastrophe"
 When the correspondent of the As soeia5ed Press approached Senor Gar nica of the Spanish commission for further details of the treaty. he said: The fact that you represent all the American and English papers is really the reason why I should say nothing, but what you show me as having been cabled is substantially correct The exact number of articles is still unde- termined.'
 In spite of the secrecy observed by the Americans, it is learned that tEe treaty in substance consists of thir-

lating their franchise or acting in any way not according to law and equity in compelling customers to pay the war tax on packages. It is contended that the decision compelling the com pany to bear the cost of the stamp for each and every package forwarded would mean a dead loss to the com pany of s510 a day or $160,000 year at least It would be a gross injustice to the company, it is contended, that this burden should be inflicted on con and equitable grounds; therefore the company asks that he writ of mandate asked for by the at torney- general be not granted.

The Government Fitting Ouf Two Big
 Transports.

Washington Dec 9.-The war de partment has in contemplation the use of two big transports now being fitted out at Cramps for the conveyance of troops on the Pacific service. II is said that when they have served their purpose in conveying permanent gar risons to Cuba they will be dispatched to Manila by the way of the Suez canal
 In such case they will take several thousand troops ;o replace the volun- teers there. After that the Mississippi and her sister ship will ply between Manila and San Francisco supplement- ing the transport service now operated there by the government.

AN EXPANSiONIST.
Senator ThurSton Talks on inc Con-
 SfifufionaI Question.

Washington, Dec. 9.-SenaOr Thurs ton Of Nebraska, an expansionist and ono of the foremost authorities on con stitutional law in the United States, talked today on the constitutional questions which have been raised by the opponents of territorial acquisi- tion relating to the subject of tarltt duties on exports to and imports from the new possessions.
 It is held in some quarters that the expansionists intend ultimately that imports from the new territories, ex- cluding Hawaii, shall be subject to tar if duties, but that exports to these is lands from the United States shall en- ter free.
 In the case of Hawaii it is claimed, the proposition is 10 have free and un- restricted trade on both sides. It Is pointed out that this system of tariff duties would be unjust 10 the residents Of the Philippines and Porto Rico, udl- warrantedly partial to the Hawaiians, and that such discrimination would be unconstitutional.
 In speaking of this contention, MT ThurS,on said:
 This constitutional question which has been raised is very interesting, and one upon which I can readily under stand there will be great difficulty among the lawyers of the United States.
 But i. is really a continuation Of the question as to whether O. not our con stitution provides for anything more than a union Of states as they existed at the time of the adoption of the con- stitution, together with that territory that was then held by the states in their confederated character and the united colonies which had achieved in- dependence. It will be recalled that 1t was seriously declared by some of our greatest and best lawyers and states men that territory and it's responsibili- tics could not be acquired by the gen eraI government without the consent of all the existing states, to be evil denced by an amendment to the consti- tuition.
 But our constitution proved broad enough as construed by The courts to permit the acquisition Of a vast area of territory through the Louisiana purchase, the annexation of Texas and the extension by discovery or occupa- tion beyond the Rocky mountains.
 Those who point out the alleged in constituencies of the tariff taxation proposition are simply carrying the Sdlne dI SumtuI OI OppOSHlOn 10 annex ation another step by insisting that the. same constitutional rights now pcs- scssed by the citizens of the United States will extend to the peoples of any and all new possessions. that we may acquire by conquest or" otherwise I do not think the constitutional provis- ions which, broadly stated, secure free and unrestricted trade between the sev- eral states of the Union, would apply in favor of the people of our new pos sessions, giving them constitutional free trade with us, or in favor of the people of the United States giving them the right of free entry of their pro- ducts and manufactures into the new possessions.

THE DISCONTENT IN SPAIN.
An Uprising Would Probably Be Carlist
 in Name Only.

London, Dec. 9-There is undoubted- ly increased uncasiness in Spain. The government is certainly doing it's ut most to secure the loyalty of the troops and place them on an efficient footing. This has been widely interpreted to portend an immediate movement on the part of Don Carlos.
 The greatest discomfort and uneasi- ness are found in the territory extend ing from the Pyrenees through the mountains in the provinces of Lerida, Corona, Teruel, Cuenca, Castellon de Ia Plana and Valencia, but the chief cause of disaffection is economic rather than any love for the invertebrate Don Carlos who, as a personality, remains one of the least formidable elements Of the unrest in Spain. He, like the French pretenders, prefers to issue manifestoes from place Of safety to crossing the Rubicon.
 If a Carlist uprising should really oc- cur iJ will probably be found to be only Carlist in name, Carlos being used as Q catspaw by party in the hands of some interruptions man such as Weyler

 The intention 10 recall the present archbishop of Manila is shown by steps already taken toward the selection of a new archbishop. He will probably be an italian prelate of broad mind and IlOeral ideas, who also has had some diplomatic experience.
