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 1t 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 OF
negotiation and has been embodied In
the articles containing the protocol
agreements.

WANT TO GO III ALONE.
Cubans Will Resist Annexation or O.
PrOteCtOrate

PrOtectOrate.
Kingston, JAM, Nov. 30.-Gen. Mas
SO, the former president Of the Cuban
insurgent government, has arrived
here OH a visit to his family. The
members Of the Cuban colony have
rendered him a public reception. In
an interview he confirmed the report
that one Of the chief objects of the
mission Of Gen. Garcia and Messrs.
Capote, Sanguilly and Lanusa to
Washington is to endeavOr to secure
grant or loan of money sufficient to
pay off the insurgent army, which is
about to be disbanded. He added that
the provisional government is bank
rupt. and that unless the Cuban army
is provided for satisfactorily grave and
regrettable complications may arise.
The Cubans, Gen. MasSo said, enter
tain profound admiration and graft
tude for the Americans. but neverthe-
less they will oppose annexation or 4
prOtectorate. They are confidently ex-
pecting the United States to speedily
recognize their ability to manage their
own affairs, on which basis only is
paramount peace possible.

Men Injured in the Explosion mt Ha-
vana Die Of Their Injuries.
Havana, Dec. l. Since the eXpl0-
sion in the private house on the the
Avenue Infanta, between the Santa
Clara and Reina batteries, a number
Of those who were injured at the time
have died. In the San LaZare hospital,
Avelina Martinez, Nicolas Derio, Da-
cairas Arquiles and Carlos Urrutia
have passed away. At the Mercedes
hospital Vicente Aranguiz and two
others have died. Jose Garcia and
Castillo Paula have died at the Hos
pital Maria Teresa, and at private res
idences Francesca y BaneZ, Josefa
PareZ and Andres Alvarez have died.
Some of the injured are progressing
favorably but others are still in crit
icai condition. With the object OF re-
lieving the families Of the victims the
residents of San PaZare will hold II
meeting to collect subscriptions for
that purpose. Jeronimo Smith, the
owner Of the cartridges which eX-
rloded. has been arrested. 1t is un-
dersrood that active influences are at
work in order to secure his release ana
hush the natter up. The civil govern
ment visited the wounded in the hos
pitals and houses and distributed over
$50 among them.

EXPECT PROMPT RATIFICATION.
senate Will Quickly Dispose Of the
Treaty.

Treaty.
Washington, Dec. /. - Prompt rati-
fication Of the American 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: | 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
as an instrument for the re-establSh-
ment Of peace between the two coun-
tries rather than as castiron agree
ment binding the United States to
definite line Of policy for the future
soRtrol OF the Philippines.

applied and the rope snapped. The
company has now decided to use
dredges and construct channel

SKATERS WORK.

1t seems about as difficult for the
experts at Washington as for the
average reader of the newspaper
reports to le:rn exactly the results
OF yesterdays engagement be-
tween Skaters army of invasion
and Linares' army of defense. But
II appears to be clear that the
Spaniards were driven still ia rther
in toward their last ditch and that
in the suburbs and outer intrench-
ments, the American army rested
at sundown and took breakfast
there without interference this
morning. In word that all that
was undertaken for the days work
was accomplished in workman
like manner.
The losses on our side do not
appear to be serious. The 400
casualties represent reduction in
fighting force by that amount, but
Gen. Shafter sends the glad tid-
ings that not many were killed.
From the tenor Of the dispatches
it appears certain that Shafter's
army is in condition to continue
the forward movement until not
alone is Santiago taken, but the
army of Linares and the ships of
Cervera are captured and their
future usefulness to Spain de-
stroyed.
indeed, the destruction of the
Spanish army and ships is of vast
ly greater importance than the
mere taking ofthe city. The oc-
cupation Of Santiago while the
army of defense retreated success
fully to the west would be all bu,
Spanish victory. The destruc-
ton of the enemy's lighting force
and not the mere occupation of
the field it lately held is the object
of a campaign like that being
made in Cuba and Skaters plan
comprehends such an object with
respect to Linares' army. "Santi-
ago is taken" will be poor news #
it Is not accompanied by the de-
struction or surrender of the Span
ish army defending it.
And as to that the outlook is
particularly bright that we shall
soon have news of both accom-.
plishments.
