Commissioners Provided for.


A synopsis of the Document that Puts an
End to the Conflict with Spain = Two
Commissioners Provided for.
Washington, Aug. l3.--The protocol
signed Friday by Secretary Day and
NJ. Cambon provides:
THAT Spain will relinquish all
claim of sovereignty over the title to
Cuba.
2.-That Porto Rico and other Span
ish islands in the West Indies and an
island in the Ladrones, to be selected
by the United States, shall be ceded
to the latter.
3.-That the United States will oc-
cupy and hold the city, bay and har-
Dor of Manila, pending the conclusion
of a treaty of peace which shall de-
termine the control, disposition and
government of the Philippines.
4.-That Cuba, Porto Rico and other
Spanish islands in the West Indies
shall be Immediately evacuated, and
that commissioners to be appointed
within ten days shall, within 80 days
from the signing of the protocol, meet
at Havana and San Juan, respectively,
to arrange and execute the details Of
the evacuation.
5.-That the United States and
Spain will each appoint not more than
five commissioners to negotiate and
conclude treaty of peace. The COM
missioners are to meet at Paris not
later than October 1st.
Con the signing of the protocol,
hostilities will be suspended and no.
tice to that effect will be given as
soon as possible by each government
to the commanders of its military and
naval forces.
The above is the official statement
of the protocols contents as prepared
and given to the press by Secretary
Day.
While the document is properly
enough described as protocol, it is
still something more than that. 1t is
an agreement midway between that
and the armistice which usually inter-
venes between active war and final
peace. So far as it goes this protocol
is absolutely a peace treaty. Thus,
having provided for the disposition of
Cuba, Porto Rico and one of the La
drone islands there is nothing more
for peace commission to do in rela-
ton to these subjects; their fate is
sealed and the protocol in that respect
is as binding as any definite treaty of
peace. 1t was such protocol as this
that was signed by President Theirs
| and Prince Bismarck to terminate the
Franco-Prussian war.
The protocol provides for two COM
missions. First the peace commission
which will meet in Paris, and second,
military commission, which will
meet in Havana probably within Ii
days. The military commissions du-
ties will be of great Importance. 1t
will settle the details of the evacua-
tion of the Spanish armies from the
West Indies and will decide all ques-
tions relative to the United States OF
the fortresses at Havana, San Juan
and other points and the transfer OF
possession of Manila City itself.

ease, and doubtless a much greater

quail trying to fly across the Missouri
river, where the distance is about
mile, recall that not all the birds make
the trip safely. They usually pick
a spot where they can make halt on
a saDdbar in midstream, and thus cross
the river iu two flights. But sometimes
they make the distance at a single
fight, and this seems to be their full
limit under normal conditions, for when
they alight they are completely exhaust.
