THERE is NO HITCH.
The United States Does Not Want the
Island of Ceuta.

Washington. Dec. at can be stated
that no hitch has occurred in the pro-
ceedings Of the peace commission at
Paris, and an impression to the con-
trary in certain quarters probably
arose through a misunderstanding of
the phase those proceedings nave
reached. With the acquiescence by the
Spanish commissioners in the American
demands set out in the original protocol
all danger of failure to reach the point
of signature of a peace treaty disap-
peared, and that such treaty will he
forthcoming, covering at least all Of
the protocol points, is considered assur-
ed.
The statement that Spain has refused
to sell us Ceuta, opposite Gibraltar. for
a coaling station and cable station. Is
inaccurate; the United States govern
ment has not made any such PROPOSE
tion for the acquisition of that
island, and would hesitate very
long before entering upon the tur-
bulent field of activity involved in the
assumption of territory in the neigh
borhood OF the Mediterranean.
The case is different respecting the
Carolines. The American naval ex-
perts have urged very strongly that
this group. as a whole. be retained IL
possible. and in addition that the Pe-
lew group. lying to the westward. be
purchased. They have pointed out that
the southernmost island OF the Ladrone
group. Waloa. lies only 300 miles north
of Ponape. in the Carolines. and the
Pelew islands are only about 500 miles
distant from the Philippines. With
these the United States would have
a complete chain of islands located at
convenient distances more than half
way across the Pacific.
Moreover. the vast bulk of trade in
that quarter of the world passes direct
ly through the natural channel be-

Will Not BE Ratified.

Chicago. Dec. 2-"President McKin-
ley can never get the members OF the
present senate to ratify the treaty soon
to be signed at Paris by the peace com
missioners of the United States and
SPAIN" said Senator Kyle of South
Dakota, who stopped here to-day on
his way to Washington.
THE United States. the victor, should
not be bound to pay s20.000,O00 to the
vanquished. Spain. Such a payment
establishes a dangerous precedent. to
say the least. Then, l do not believe
we want the Philippines at all One
island with a good harbor would pc
used as a naval station. Say we make
colonies OF the Philippines. There Is
no place in our general policy for colo
nial possessions. And by taking them
we must discard the Monroe doctrine,
for how can we object to Europeans in
terfering in American affairs now that
we have attempted to NEEDLE in the
politics Of another hemisphere"

Won't Mention the Debts.

London, Dec. 3.-The Paris corre-
spondent of the Standard says: The
peace commissions have agreed not to
mention the Cuban or Philippine debt
in the treaty, because il might lead to
misapprehension. The American COM
missioners have indicated to the Span
iards that these debts cannot possibly.

ALWAYS IN OPPOSITION.
senator Hale Declares His Objection to |
the Peace Treaty.

the Peace Treaty.
Washington, Dec. 2.-Senator Hale OF
Maine to-day announced his opposition
to the peace treaty which Is being
formulated i'm Paris. He Is opposed to
the acquisition of the Philippines and
his antagonism to the treaty will be
based upon that section of the treaty
which deals with the Philippine ques-
tion.
1.-The negotiation of the treaty, unfor-
tunate as IL is," said the senator to-
day, "by no means insures the actual
annexation of the Philippine islands.
1t Is uncertain when the treaty will be
signed or when it will be submitted to
the senate. and still more uncertain
whether IL will ever be ratified. The
responsibility is so vast, and the solici-
tude of the republic is so great that
ample time will be given to its discus
sion and to getting at the real facts
before the American people. Many
things will be found out which are not
known and the evils of the proposed
annexation will so grow upon the pub
lie mind and upon congress and upon
the president that IL is by no means
unlikely that within six months or a
year everybody, instead of being for
annexation of the islands, will want to
be rid of them.
""The people of the United States will
find out that the commerce of the
Philippines is very limited in extent;
that they are inhabited by a people
whose habits and wants forbid an in
crease of trade, and that under the
scheme of annexation presented to us
this trade is to be shared equally with
Spain and all other competing nations.
What is called the open door policy.
cuts down the interest of the United
States in the Philippine trade to a
point where il makes no figure in our
commerce. The entire trade of the ISL
ands, If we had IL all-not the profit
derived from ii. but the whole amount
of trade-will not in any year pay the
expenses of the army and the navy
that the United States will be obliged
TO maintain there"
