there, and no similarity of tones sought

throat, are cajoled and pulled along until
they commence to lose their disagreeable

Do you speak softly? Has your voice
precisely the proper pitch and can id adapt
itself on the instant to the room you sud
denly enter? Have you learned that you
must never whisper in church-for whis-
pering is always very audible there-but
speak in a low. firm tone? Can you laugh
properly and daintily, as an ideal girl
should? Can you control your voice using
one tone for one occasion and another for
another, at WIZ Can you talk animatedly
and with enthusiasm without throwing
your arms about your head too far back,
and without moving your body? A foreign

SPANS REQUEST REFUSED
ALL QUESTIONS ARE SETTLED.
Spain Asked TO Have Her ships Put
Under the Same ReEula tons as
the American in West Indian
Ports-After Using the Cable Our
Commission Was Instructed to
Refuse.

Paris, Dee, The joint commissions
met at , p. IN. yesterday. 1t has develop
that Mondays session was of far greater
importance than was generally supposed.
1t resulted in the Americans uncompro-
misingly rejecting Spains request that,
for a term of years. the ships of that coun-
try ana its products should be admitted
to Cuban and Puerto Rican ports under
the same regulations and customs tar
ifs as American ships and products,
The Spanish commission for some days
has been playing for this. The Americans
were anxious for a decision on the ques-
ton of a coaling station in the Caroline
islands, religious tolerance i'll the Caro-
lines and the release of political prison
ers. The Spaniards were unwilling to
answer these points until they heard
what the Americans proposed to do for
their industries which had been built up
by the Cuban and Puerto Rican trade
This is why Spain contended the articles
Of the treaty should be disposed OF i'll
their order, while the Americans wanted
first to settle their pressing need.
The session Monday was practically a
fight on the order of procedure. Finally
the Americans yielded and then the Span
iards proposed their shipping and com
mercial questions which the Americans
rejected in their entirety. The session
then adjourned with neither side in an
especially amiable frame of mind.
1t IS learned that there were differences
of opinion among the Americans on the
shipping question and numerous tele-
grams were exchanged with Washington.
Finally the American commission was in
structed to refuse, the principal reason be-
inc that Puerto Rico is about to be de-
clared within the coast line OF the United
States, while, as regards Cuba, the au-
thorities at Washington would make no
promises, as the American occupation
there is not fixed, and the future Cuban
government will make its own treaties.
Exactly what Spain requested was that
her ships and products should be accorded
the same privileges in Cuba and Puerto
Rico for period OF 10 years, as had been
conceded to Spain in the Philippines.
When the commissioners emerged from
the foreign office last evening, after a
long session, Judge Day announced that
all questions had been settled, and the
treaty would be signed in three OF four
DAYS.
