WITH CANADA
NEGOTIATIONS IN WASHINGTON REACH
A SATISFACTORY CONCLUSION.
A COMMISSION TO BE CREATED TO ADJUST
ALL TENDING CONTROVERSIES


Washington. May 30-The Canadian nego-
tiatons which have been in progress here
for the last week concluded tonight
when n definite agreement was reached FOR
the creation OF commission which shall
consider all the subjects Of controversy be-
tween the United States and Canada, and
frame a treaty between the imperial Govern
iaent and the United States for the complete ad-
iustment OF these controversies. The agreement
IS 20 be submitted to the British Government
for Its approval and when this is given the or
Gan!zation Of the Commission Will be completed
For the present the agreement Is confined to
the one point that the Commission shall be
created, the time and place for it to begin Its
work being left for future determination. IT Is
understood. however. that the first meeting VIII
be held at Quebec probably In the coming sum-
mer. The membership Of the Commission VIII
be determined by the executive branches OF the
two governments.
The discussions in the last week have pro-
ceeded in a manner most satisfactory to all con-
cerned It being said tonight by those taxing
part that the spirit Of goodwill was marked
throughout The purpose was not to arrive at
final conclusions, but rather to pave the way for
a commission which could effect the conclusions
by complete examination Of all the details or
the questions at issue These include the Behr-
ing Sea sealing controversy. the North Atlantic
and lake fisheries border immigration reciproc-
ity mining regulations in the Klondike and
British North American possessions and also the
determination Of the Alaska boundary line
While these gone over in the conference
Just closed. it was preliminary discussion. and
no final agreement reached on any OF the
subjects involved. The expectation is that the
Commission Will now accomplish this general
work. ofTsnttng concessions on one question by
equal concessions on other subjects involved.
Those taking part In the conference were sir
Julian Pauncefote. the British ambassador Sir
Louis Davies. Canadian Minister % Marine; ex-
Secretary John ". Foster. special commissioner
in charge Of Canadian affairs, and Reciprocity
Commissioner KassOn. Sir Louis Davies started
tonight for ottawa. The British Ambassador
will forward the agreement to the British For
egn Office and II is expected that word Will be
received 10 the approval of the imperial au-
thorities in about fortnight After that the
Commissioners will be named and the time and
place Of meeting definitely determined upon.

washington. May 3O-General Miles MADE no
.ec,e, TODAY Of the immediate departure Of the
Army from Tampa. though he declined 10 en-
coura 90 any speculatio1 as to its destination for
obvious military reasons 1t Is known now
ever. that ever since the first reports announc-
ing the arrival Of the Spanish squadron AZ
Santiago last Saturday night he has been thor
ouehly alive to the practically prohbtive dan
gers which would have to be encountered by an
American fleet In fighting Its way past the eie-
waited batteries and UP the narrow and tortuous
channel OF that harpor to force battle with the
spaniards and has steadily urged upon the au-
thortt,es the necessity Of a land attack on the
place as the quickest and most effective method
Of dealing Spain crushing blow.

PROMPT MOVEMENT OF THE ARMY
The promptness with which the departure Of
the Army from Tampa has been effected after
the last doubt Of Cervera's presence at Santiago
was removed will perhaps not be known for sew
eral days. although confidence is expressed that
the celebrity OF the movement will prove remark
able In military annals. In fact. It is intimated
