Thirdly, it protests against the position
in which those Spaniards are placed who
desire to remain in Cuba.
Fourthly, it protests against the refer
ence to the destruction of the Maine in
President McKinley's message to the
United States congress. On this point the
memorandum says:
"Spain has proposed arbitration, but the
United States refuses to give her the right
which is granted to a criminal, namely, the
right of defending herself. The Spanish
commissioners leave the care of fixing the
responsibility for the explosion to the en-
tire world which will say whether these
are responsible who desire the truth, or
those refusing to seek it.

liberal, reproaching them equally with hav-

of the treaty, which produces less un-
favorable impression than had been ex-
pected owing to the commercial and other
concessions to Spain.

The Spanish Protest

MADRID, Dec. 1.-THE government en-

which are bringing back our repatriated sol

latter is.
The cabinet, it is said, will meet the cor
tes intact; Senor Sagasta will ask an indem-

The cabinet will then declare, as it finds
itself at a crisis, that it cannot admit any
debate and WILL therefore, demand the i'm

Senior Sagasta will submit the question of

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE course oi
proceedings in the senate this week viii
depend upon the disposition that is made
of the Nicaragua canal bill. 1t is Senator
Morgan's intention to call up this measure
Monday, and he has expressed the hope
that he will secure action at the Monday
session. Few of his most sanguine CO.
workers agree with him in this opinion, and
the best indication is that unless an agree
ment can be reached for postponement, sew
elal days at least will be consumed in its
consideration. The opponents of the meas
ure will meet its supporters with PROPOSE
ton to defer consideration until after the
Christmas holidays, and they will give as
their reason for this request the fact that
the report of the government commission
appointed to investigate the feasibility Of
the canal has not yet been made, urging
the Importance of receiving the information
which the commission will be able to fur
nish before acting upon so important a
question. If the bill is taken up in earnest
1t will consume the greater portion of the
scnate's time until finally disposed of. An
other subject on the calendar is the anti
scalping bill, which Senator Culom has in
formed the senate he will seek to get up at
an early day, but he will meet with oppo-
stion if he makes the effort, and is not likely
to succeed thus early in the session.
The special order for Monday at o'clock
is the bill providing for the registry of for
eign built ships, but if the Nicaragua canal
bill should be taken up the registry bill
would not be allowed to consume much time
Senator Morrill, has given notice of mo-
tion Tuesday to consider the bill providing
for the purchase of site for the United
States supreme court, but the proceedings
with reference to this measure will be con-
fined to a speech by the Vermont senator.
The urgent army deficiency bill will re-
ceive attention early in the week. The
committee on appropriations will meet Mon
day, and it is not believed more than one
meeting on tho bill will be necessary Sen
ator Allison, chairman of the committee,
hopes, therefore, to get the ill before the
senate for consideration Tuesday.
1t has been prophesied that the army bill
would be used as pretext for discussion
of the Spanish war, and the fear of such
course has not entirely subsidized.

COMMISSIONERS REST
AFTER THE LONG STRAIN OF
TREATY-MAKING
TREATY TEXT NOT PUBLISHED
But Some Details Are Made Public.
The Pope Announces an Anti
Carlist Policy

PARIS, Dec. 1.-THE United States
peace commissioners rested today after the
long strain of daily conferences and almost
daily sessions with the Spaniards, the in
tensity of which they hardly realized until
it was over Warm personal friendships and
mutual regard have arisen between the two
commissions as the result of their extended
controversy at close quarters.
Today several members of both commits
sions exchanged calls. The American com
missioners unoflcially informed the Span
ards they would be glad to have the two
commissions dine together. The reply,
which, like the invitation, was conveyed
automatically through a third party, was
that the Spaniards would be most pleased,
but feared ii would be inadvisable because
it might be misconstrued at Madrid, where
already much feeling existed against the
Spanish commissioners.
Several members of the United States
commission We're inclined at first to publish
the text of the treaty, but Senator Frye
made strong plea yesterday for the observ-
ance of courtesy toward the United States
senate, and his arguments prevailed.
Further details, however, have been
learned as to the wording of the treaty,
which provides that Cuba is to be relin-
quished and that Porto Rico and the Phil
ippines are to be ceded. The Americans are
TO pay for the repatriation Of the Spanish
troops from all the colonies. The Spaniards
are to return all prisoners of war held by
them. They are to retain possession Of all
military stores and munitions of war in the
Philippines and of such ships as have not
been captured.
The commercial treaties between the two
nations which the war ruptured are to be
renewed at the convenience of the two ma
tons.
The United States commissioners have
been almost overwhelmed with offers of din
ners in England, prompted by the desire of
prominent Englishmen to emphasize the
Anglo American entente, but they will re-
main in Paris until the day before sailing
for the United States.
They will make formal calls upon Presi-
dent Faure and high officials hereto thank
them for official Inequalities. Unofficial
hospitality to the United States commission
ers has been ostentatiously lacking in Paris

Reports From Manila

MANILA, Dec. 1l.-Acording to reliable
advices received from Ilolo, capital of the
island Of Panay in the Visayas group, the in
surgents attacked Iloio on the night of De
cember lst and captured all the Spanish
trenches except one. They then notified
General Rios to remove the women and chill
dren and threatened to renew the attack
the following night.
When these advices left Iloilo, General
Rios was expecting reinforcements and field
guns and the plan was for the Spanish gun
boats to shell the town if the insurgents
effected an entrance. The foreign residents
were greatly alarmed and all merchantmen
have been ordered outside the harbor in or
der to allow the gunboats to operate. Mean
while the Spanish authorities have been ad
vised that the Tulisanos troops are ooting,
in disobedience to orders, and cannot be re-
strained.
On the other hand, the Spanish transport
1sla de Luzon reports that the insurgents
around Iloilo were repused with great
slaughter on December 9th while attempting
to storm the last entrenchment. According
to this story 500 insurgents were killed or
wounded by the machine guns

British Satisfaction

LONDON, Dec. l2.-The editorials in
the London morning papers express salts
faction at the signing Of the peace treaty,
the negotiations for which the Daily News
remarks, have occupied rather a longer
time than the war
The Times, pretty accurately represent
ing the views of the other papers, says:
Spain has lost her colonies because her
colonial system was founded upon spolia-
ton and tyranny. The United States has
not treated her any more harshly than
Germany treated France in 1871, or Rus
sia treated Turkey in 1878. Therefore the
Spanish memorandum of protest is un-
reasonable and unjustified."
The article then refers to the difficulties
facing the United States, and expresses
confidence that the healthy vigor and
practical capacity of the Anglo-Saxon" will
be fully competent to deal with them.

Prospects Not Bright

WASHINGTON, Dec ll.-It has been
agreed by the high joint commissions of
Americans and Canadians, which has been
il session here several weeks, to adjourn at
an early date. This fact has not been for
mally announced but it is understood that
the day fixed for adjournment is December
20. On the evening of December 10 the
Canadians will give banquet, to which
the Americans will be invited
The understanding is that the sessions
will not be resumed until after March 4th
next, when the American commission, who
are members of the house and senate, will
have leisure to devote to the negotiations.
Whether the sessions will be resumed at
Quebec, where they were begun, or in this
city, has not been stated.
The decision to adjourn has grown out Of
the developments of the past week While
there are several protocols in the proposed
treaty, notably the Bering sea, the North
Atlantic fisheries, reciprocity and questions
affecting the great lakes, reciprocity is the
one great subject in which the Canadians
are interested. Last week the high com
missioners came nearer than they have ever
been before to the discussion of that sub
ject. The Canadians had submitted propo-
sitions, and on Wednesday the Americans
submitted counter proposals. These coun-
ter proposals showed that the Americans
were disposed to be very unyielding, and
that much smaller concessions would really
be made than had been expected The ne
gotiations of last week also convinced the
Canadians that free lumber, consumma-
tion they and all their people have devoutly
wished for, was impossible. The American
commissioners not only told the Canadians
SO, but the latter were invited to the capitol,
ard while there met several prominent
members of the house and senate, who i'm
pressed the fact still more firmly upon them.
It is said that the Americans have agreed to
a small reduction of the duty on live ami
mails, and have intimated that they may
agree to small reduction in the duty on
lumber, now 50 per thousand. The Can
adams had hoped for much larger conces-
sions.
This condition of things and the apparent
impossibility of reaching an agreement be-
fore Christmas are said to have led to the
decision for an adjournment. The senate
may be called in session after March 4th to
transact business, when there would be
ample time to present any treaty that may
have been framed with Canada. At pres
ent the outlook for an agreement is not
bright.

IN THE HOUSE
Appropriation Bills to Be Given the
Right of Way

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1l.-Beyond the
first three days there is no program mapped
out for the house this week. Tomorrow
will be devoted, under the rules, to the CON
sideration of business relating to the Dis
trict of Columbia, and on Tuesday the Dis
trict of Columbia appropriation bill will be
taken up. This is in pursuance of the de-
termination of the leaders to give the ap
preparation bills the right of way whenever
one is ready There is nothing in the dis
trict bill this year to attract opposition, and
unless the unexpected happens the bill ought
to pass Tuesday or Wednesday al the latest
The appropriations subcommittee on pen
sions will commence work on the pensions
appropriation bill tomorrow, but it can hard
ly be ready before next week. 1t is CON
fdently expected, however, that the bill will
be passed before the HOLIDAYS. 1t is prob.
able that Chairman Hull of the military
affairs committee will be able to bring in
the army reorganization bill as soon as the
district appropriation bill is out of the way.
He is exceedingly anxious to get the bill into
the house at the earliest possible moment,
as he is particularly solicitous that it should
pass the house before the holidays. If it
should follow the district bill very inter
esting debate would be precipitated The
future policy of the government is ordained
in the bill for the increase of the standing
army, and the whole subject will be opened
up. The Democrats are divided upon the
question of increasing the regular army, but
how far the opposition will go in antagoniz-
ing the measure it is impossible to forecast.
Only last week, during the debate on the
urgency deficiency bill, Mr.. De Almond of
Missouri, one of the leaders, evaded direct
reply when the question was put fairly to
him by Mr.. Cannon, chairman of the appro-
priations committee. If the army reorgan
ization bill does not come up, the various
committees under the call will probably be
allowed to clean up business which they have
on the calendar.

That Teachers Should Not be Employed
Unless They Have Attended Ooun-

Santa Fe, N. M, June 10, $685.. J
Hon, L. c. McGrath, Co. Supt., Lordsburg
Dear sir:-Your favor of the 18th inst.
is at hand, and in reply to your inquiry
as to whether a person who has not at
tended the normal institute created by
chapter 81 of the laws of 1897 can be
employed as Il teacher in any public
school in this territory, l will say that it
is my opinion that section 3 of said act,
in addition to other qualifications i'm
posed upon teachers by law, imposes an
attendance upon the normal institute of
the county in which he resides or
teaches, or upon some other normal in
stitute within the year in which such
teacher acts in the capacity of teacher.
In my opinion the terms of the act
cited above are mandatory, and the en-
ployment of a person to teach who has
not the necessary certificate of attend
ance at some normal institute that salts
fies the requirement of the act would be
in violation of the law.
Therefore give it my opinion that those
persons who have not complied with the
provisions of section 8, chapter 81, act
of 1897, are not entitled to teach and
should not be employed as teachers in
New Mexico. am yours very truly,
