AT the conclusion of the translation,
the commissioners empowered Senior
Ojeda, secretary of the Spanish commits
sion, and Secretary Moore of the Amer
ican commission to draw up articles,
which are to embody the relinquish-
meut of Cuba by Spain and the cession
of Porto Rico and the Philippines.
These articles, which may be consid-
cred as constituting the conditions of
peace, will be ready for submission on
Wednesday,
The commissioners left the foreign
office Immediately after the secretaries
had been directed to prepare the articles
OF the peace treaty. There was scarcely
any conversation between the American
and Spanish commissioners after the ad-
journment
Among the Americans only the most
grave consideration for their Spanish
colleagues was apparent. The Spaniards
seemed to be relieved at having arrived
at the conclusion of long controversy.
Having embodied in the treaty articles
all the protocol questions, the two COM
missions will now enter upon friendly
negotiations regarding the matter sug-
gested in the American ultimatum a
week ago, matters subsidiary and in
cldental to the principal provisions
which must form part of the peace
treaty as finally signed. These include
the religious freedom of the Caroline
islands, as agreed to ~ years ago; the
release of political prisoners now held
by Spain in connection with the insur-
rection in Cuba and the Philippines; the
taking over of the islands of Kusaie, or
Ualan, i'll the Carolines, for telegraphic
and naval station; cable station rights at
other points in Spain's jurisdiction, and
| the renewal of certain treaties previously
i'll force between the United States aud
Spain which may have lapsed or been
vitiated by war.

THE ELOQUENT coN1FF.

Mr.. John J. Conir was the next
speaker. and 1t was as a representative
OF the young men that he spoke. He
did not intend to make a speech: he
thought the speech-making was sched-
uled for next Saturday afternoon. He
had been no Rebel. nor had he been a
Union soldier. But, thank God. he had
been born in time to go forward with
such leaders as Dovener and Arnett TO
avenge our brothers who died with the
Maine.
I'VE don't care whether we are right
or wrong; 1t Is a mere te~chnicnlity of
international law In which we are not
interested. WE CARE FOR BUT ONE
THING; THEY KILLED OUR BOYS
Neither an eye nor a tooth will satisfy
us; we want more teeth and more eyes
of the %Spaniards. 1t will TAKE ONE
THOUSAND SPANIARDS TO AC-
COUNT FOR ONE AMERICAN. 1t
will not do to say that Dewey's boys
killed 300 Spaniards and balanced the
charge against Spain for EGG of the
Maine sailors. 1 will not be satisfied
until every %Spaniard who comes in
sight is wiped off the face OF the earth"
Mr.. Coniff was frequently interrupted
by applause. His was one OF the most
stirring speeches OF the evening. At 10
o'clock the meeting adjourned amid in
tense enthusiasm. which reached Its
climax when the band played the Star
Spangled Banner"

this Is true, he wanted the people or the

One OF the local orders had telegraph
cd Its national commanding officer for
permission to turn out Saturday, and
the reply was: Turn out boys: YOU
are patriots and American citizens"
This order. said the speaker, was the
knights OF Pythlas. He hoped every
society would turn out 20 a man. Tho
school children, too, should participate
In the demonstration: the Lesson OF pa
trlotlsm to be taught Saturday will
make better men and better women
than an afternoon spent at the black
board. At the close OF Chairman

enthusiasm.

LEADING CITIZENS.

The meeting held at the Opera House
last evening 10 inaugurate arrange
ments for a grand demonstration in
this city on Saturday, in honor of the
Dewey victory, which has shed more
luster on American arms than any
other battle In our history, was a re-
markable outhurst of patriotic senti-
ment. and this morning the success OF
Saturdays celebration is assured be-
yond a doubt, and will probably be par
ticipated in by organizations and citi-
zens generally from many Of the sur.
rounding towns.
Perhaps the most dramatic moment
during the meeting was in the midst OF
Captain Dovener's speech, when he.
and Colonel White shook hands, typify-
ing the restoration OF union and COM

"THE oLp WAR noRsE.r

Chairman White next introduced as
the next speaker Colonel W. W. Arnett,
whom he designated as "the old war
horse" Colonel Arnett was given n
warm reception by his friends. Like
the other speakers OF the evening he
eulogized Dewey and his brave tars.
The duty at Manila was accomplished
nagniflcently: Dewey had demonstra-
ed that he Is a great American naval
officer. and a sublime Christian soldier.
(Cheers.)
Colonel Arnett had no desire to in
nlct a speech, but he wanted to say
that the achievements OF Dewey's men
present an example worthy the emula-
ton of the young men OF America and
all peoples everywhere.
The colonel said he believed he was
right in 81 when he cast his fortunes
with the Confcderacy. II may have

would be II the country should become
involved with a foreign foe. The coll

would do and tried to "hedge." but the

This caught the audience. which
cheered itself hoarse. Continuing. the
speaker said this war would accomplish

then spoke OF the Presidents course,
