Spanish soldiers. He said he had new

haved lot of men. He saw thousands
of them every day and never wit
messed diSOrderiy act. Gen. Butler
said that nobody could approximate
the time when this country could turn
things over to the Cubans. He had
found the Cubans bright and well ed
ucated. He believed that many Span

and take part in the affairs of the is
land

Boston, Nov. 30.-It is known def
nitely that more than seventy lives
have been lost in the wrecks Of tugs,
schooners and coal barges during the
storm Of Saturday night and Sunday

has also gone down, as now seems
possible, the list of casualties will rise
to 40, with over 100 vessels Of all de-
scriptions ashore, two score Of them to
be wrecks and an unknown number of
them probably beneath the waves OF
Massachusetts bay. There is scarcely

into insignificance before the story Of
destruction wrought by wind and
wave. yet it will be many day be-
fore the full import of the disaster is
known or even realized. The islands

Kingston, JAM, Nov. 30.-Gen. Mas
so. the former president Of the Cuban
insurgent government, has arrived
here OH visit to his family. The

about to be disbanded. He added that
the provisional government is bank

is provided for satisfactorily grave and
regrettable complications may arise.
The Cubans. Gen. MaSSO said. enter
tain profound admiration and graft

VIII BE Considered First in the Sep
arate Sessions and Afterward In
Joint Session.
Paris. Dec. las the result of the
work Of Mr. Moore and Senor Ojeda
the draft Of the articles embodying the
protocol agreements were completed
last evening. 1t will be presented to
the two commissions to-day at their
separate sessions and later at the joint
session, when it will receive final con-
sideration. There will be little delay
on these articles. Mr.. Moore will pre-
sent to the United States commission,
ers the subjects to be presented to the
Spaniards for negotiations. These, for
convenience and greater dispatch, are
being drafted into the form of articles.
The release Of the insurgent prisoners
held by Spain will go into the protocol
agreements, it having been already
agreed that Spain is to release them
upon the United States undertaking to
secure the release Of the Spanish pris-
oners in the hands Of AguinaldO. This
question is SO intimately related to the
peace treaty that 1t has been removed
from the subjects that are matters or
negotiation and has been embodied In
the articles containing the protocol
agreements.

EXPECT PROMPT RATIFICATION.
Senate VIII Quickly Dispose of the
Treaty.

Treaty.
Washington, Dec. 1. - Prompt rati-
fication of the Amercan-Spanish
treaty of peace is expected by the ad-
ministration. From conversations the
presiden thas had with senators who
have called upon him during the last
few days he expects that there will be
little opposition to the treaty, though
he has found diversity Of opinion as
to the future government and disposi-
ton Of the Philippines. 1t is expected
that the treaty will be laid before the
senate Just before or Immediately af-
ter the holidays. AS three Of the Amer
lean commissioners who will sign the
treaty are members Of the committee
on foreign relations, little time will be
consumed by the committee In con
sidering and reporting the treaty back
to the senate for ratification.
An interviewer says: l have talked
with most Of the senator's, and, with
few exceptions, find the terms Of the
treaty will be generally approved.
Even those who are opposed to holding
the Philippines permanently believe
that the treaty should be ratified and
that the islands should then be dis
posed of as the United States sees At.
They are disposed to regard the treaty
ment Of peace between the two coun-
tries rather than as a cast-iron agree
ment binding the United States to a
definite line Of policy for the future
soRtrol Of the Philippines.

the Treaty Is signed

Washington, Nov. 30.-The war de-
Dartment, unou the assuran-e that
peace treaty will be reached is arrang-
ing to muster out more troops. 1t is
probable that from 10000 to 10000 vol
unteers will be mustered out as soon
as selections of regiments can be
made. There has been quite a de.
mand for the return of volunteers from
Manila, but no troops will be brought
from the Philippines unless they are
replaced by others. Many Of the vol
unteer regiments in Manila have asked
through the governors and congress
men of their states to be returned to

WISCONSIN IN THE MUD
Big BattIeship Is stuck Fast and

San Francisco, Dec. 1.-The battle
ship Wisconsin is stuck fast in the
mud Of the bay off the Union Iron
works. The channel in which the
Wisconsin took her first dip had been
we'll dredged. Across this the vessel
shot and went into the mud fats be-
yond. 1t was impossible for the tugs
to rescue her, so the iron works men
attached new ten-inch hawSer to the
hull. and by means OF machinery at
the yard sought to pull it from its
sticky bed. Tremendous power was
applied and the rope snapped. The
company has now decided to use
dredges and construct channel
