SPAIN AND THE TREATY.
Premier SaEasta May Dissolve the Cortes
Before Its Ratification.

Special Cable Despatch 10 THE SUN.
MADRID. Dec. 13.-Politlcians here are dis
cussing the question of convenience In the rat
~incation OF the peace treaty by the Cortes. Ac-
cording to the tone Of a number OF interviews
in political circles 1t is generally the opinion
that ratification OF the treaty is unnecessary.
since the Government is authorized to con-
clude the cesslon Of territories in accordance
with the law voted by the Cortes in September.
Besides. IL is argued. the text Of the treaty
gives a term of six months for its ratification.
Therefore prominent men In Ministerial circles
consider useless the convocation of the Cortes.
the result Of which would be that the Cabinet
would be weakened. Others are OF the opinion
that It would be better to wait and see what
President Mckinley does.
1t is reported here that Premier Sagasta will
obtain a royal decree dissolvinR the Chambers
before the ratification of the peace treaty.
