RIOTS INSANTIAGO BULLETS REACH THE TENTS OF lMMUNES-FlRED
 BY INSURGENTS.
ARRESTS WERE MADE.
Juan Costello Placed in JaiI-He 0b- jected and Offered His Card
 Commandment 0bdurate.

Santiago de Cuba, Dec. 9-The Cubans here are greatly excited over Wednesdays proceedings re- sulting from the commemoration Of the death of Antonio Maceo, par ticularly the fact that bullets reach ed the camp of the Fifth Immunes, which proves that the shots were not fired by Cubans who fired vol leys in the air from Gthe public square here. It now seems the bul- let's which struck the tents of the Immunes came from different par ty of insurgents near the trecha, who were also celebrating. Regard ing the action of three drunken Gu. bans who entered the Spanish club and smashed the chandeliers and furniture, the Cubans they say deeply deplore the outrage, and do not think it fair to look upon it as a race act.
 
 The San Carlo club intends to hold meeting and tender an apol- ogy to the Spanish club. The police are blamed for not making arrests. Colonel Beacon, the American mli tary commander here, accompanied the chief of police personally and arrested Juan Castillo this morning, He is captain of the Cuban army, and was the man who led the two negro companles into the club. Gas tillo, who is well connected, objected to going to jail and offered his card instead. Colonel Beacon, however, was obdurate.

 ing Two Bales of Cotton.

TREATY FINISHED ALL POINTS POSSIBLE SET TILED BY THE COM
 MISSION. so SAID JUDGE DAY.
The Americans are Anxious Not to Give the Spaniards any Pretext
 to Break off Negotiations

Paris, Dec. 9.-The treaty is fin ished. Judge Day said
 "We have settled all the points upon which there is possibility of agreement. Only the expressing remains. J
 The Spaniards yesterday refused to cede the Uunited States coaling station on the Caroline islands.
 A miscarriage of the negotiations would leave their political prest,ge at home TO worse, if not in better position than if they signed the treaty. The Americans are anxious not to give the Spaniards any pretext to break off the negotiations or take offense, so far as tLe exercise of pa tience and diplomacy to steer clear of protest ts.
 The Madrid papers are disposed to revive the question of the Maine and excite public opinion against the United States on account of the reference made to this subject in President McKinley's message to Congress.
 They report that Senor Montero Rios, president of the Spanish com mission, made an impassioned de- nunciation of President Mckinley at the last joint meeting Of the com missions. But these reports are practically without foundation.
 Senor Rios did refer to the Maine, but in only one calmly worded sen tence, expressing regret that the President had spoken, as Spaniards thought, unjustly of them. The Spaniards had already proposed at this conference to have the respon- sibility of the Maine reported upon by a joint commission of the Euro pean powers. The American con- mssioners refused to listen to thls and permitted Senor Rios reference to the Presidents message to pass unchallenged, as a discuss!en would have provoked debate and bad blood.
 Diplomatic circles In Paris pre- dict, as one of the results of the treaty, a diplomatic contest between France and the United States, which may have an important chapter in history.
 The French government is report ed to have resolved to take up the case of the French holders of Cuban bonds, and it is believed France will declare that the repudiation of the bonds is the result of the treaty which the victorious nation imposed upon Spain. They argue that through the treaty responsibility has been shifted upon America, and therefore the French government will endeaYor to exact some pledge for the payment or guarantee of the bonds.

4 TAME WOLF.
Was Exhibited on our Streets
 This Morning

Arkansas is noted all oyer the Union for it's products, such as cot ton, apples, etc, but we would like to introduce another product which is very rare in quality and peculiarl- tv, This late introduction is no more than a tanned wolf; yes, sreal live wolf. which tis an acrobat and has very quick understanding of the English language.
 This morning a Graphic represen- tative noticed large crowd of peo- pie congregated on West Barraque .street4nenre cotton scales No 2. The crowd there congregated were en- toying the funny antics of tanned wolf, something we believe Riugling Bros. circus is unable to exhibit.
 The animal stood about two feet, fat-footed, ard when ordered he would jump over stick, howl, sit up, aud performed mary 1ther wonder fultricks.
 The animal Is the property of a Mr. J. D. Brown of Grant county. He said he found a number of the young animals in the woods on Sa- line river several years ago. All but one, which was with him, had died, and he raised the young wolf with a large dog he owned. The wolf was tanned and was finally taught tricks, which he displayed this morning.
 MT. Brown also said he needed money worse than the wolf ard would sell the animal for $10. No one purchased it then, but it is ru. mored that Mr. Reed of this city finally bought it for $6.
