"Spaip has lost har coonies because her

SPAIN 10 RETAIN ALL MILITARY STORES
Commercial Relations VIII soon he
Observation-Disclosures FILED by Rios
Approved by His Government.

Paris, December 1.-THE United Statea
peace commissioners rested today after
the long strain Of daily conferences and
almost daily sessions with the Spaniards
with an intensity which they ha dly
realized until 1t was OVER. Firm personal
friendship and mutual regard have arisen
between the two commissions as the result
OF thsdr extended controversy at close
Quarters. Today several members of both
commissions exchanged calls. The Ameri-
can commissioners unoffcEaliy informed
| this Spaniaaus that they would be glad to
have the two commissions dine together.
The reply, which. like the invitation, was
conveyed automatically Though third
party. was that the Spaniards would be
most pleased. but feared 1t would he mad
vlsable. because 1t might be msconstrued
at Madrid where already much feeling
existed against the Spanish commissioners.
Several members OF the United States
commission were inclined at first to pub
| lish the text OF the tIeaty. b,it Senator
Frye made q strong plea yesterday for the
observance of courtesy toward the United
vailed.
Further "details, however. have been
learned rs TO the wording Of the treaty,
which provides that Cuba Is to be reln-
quished and that Porto Rico and the Phil
| ippines are to be coded. The Americans
are to pay for the repatriation OF the Span
lsh troops from all the colonies. The
Spaniards are to return ell prisoners held
by them They are TO retain possession
of all military stores and munitions of war
In the Philippine islands and Of such ships
as have not been captured.
The commonwealth tfNeatiets betWpnn the tNu
nations which the war ruptured are to be
renewed at the convenience OF the two ma.
tipns.
The protocol makes nearly 600 typewrst-
ten pages.
The United States commissioners have
been almost overwhelmed with offers OF
dinners in England. prompted by the desire
of prominent Establishment to emphasize the
Anglo American entente. but they will re-
main in Paris until tho tav before sailing
for the United States. They Will mako
formal calls upon President Faaire and
high officials here to thank them for Of
fetal inequalities. Unofficial hospitality
TO the United States commissioners has
been ostentatiously lacking in Paris.

liz Madrid, December 1.-THE government
