human ingenuity can f~oresee. The
total amount of excavation will be not
less than 1876, 900, 600 yards. The esti-

of extending the military jurisdiction
of the United States over the islands.
It will now be necessary to expedite the

may be fully expected that within a
week important events will have hap

sumed that General Otis will demand
the surrender of Iloilo into his hands,

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Frye
talked to a reporter with respect to the
conditions attending and resulting from
the peace negotiations.
With respect to the frequently re-
'peated statement in press dispatches
that the sentiment Of the powers, with
the exception of England, was opposed
to the United States and looked with
disfavor upon the attitude of this gov
eminent in dealing with Spain, Senator
Frye said:
81 saw no evidence of such sentiment
existing outside of France, and in
France that sentiment appeared in the
press, which does not reflect the senti-
ment Of the nation nor of the people
generally"
"Do you think there will be an early
restoration of cordial relations between
Spain and the United Statesg'
ST think that verv soon after the rati-
6cation of the peace treaty and the
restoration of diplomatic relations there
will be no difficulty about negotiating
commercial treaties and a treaty for the
release of prisoners and such other mat
tiers directed toward the perfect restora-
ton of diplomatic relations between the
two governments. I do not believe that
the Spanish government will be at all
disposed to
Keep Up Unfriendly Feeling
between the two governments. The
making Of new treaties adapted to the
present conditions would be better than
would be the restoration of the old
treaties, some features of which were
obsolete"
"What has been published with re-
spect to the treat of peace seems to in.
dictate, does it not, that this govern
ment is not committed by these nego-
tiations with reference to the future
disposition of the territory, the Spanish
sovereignty over which has been re-
lnquished"
ut indicates very strongly that this
government is not committed in any |
way whatever with respect to the dis
position and government of these isl
ands. If we are insane enough to do
so, we might give them al back to
Spain after the ratification 0fthe treaty.
If we are fool we might divide them up
among the other foreign powers. The
whole matter is left in the hands of
congress. Congress can make any dis
position of the islands itssees. 6t. The
of the treaty will not in any
way curtail any privileges of ours in
this direction"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2o.-Immediately
upon the ratification Of the peace treaty
by the senate the president will recon-
mend to congress the enactment Of leg
islation looking to the settlement Of the
claims of American citizens for damages
sustained in Cuba, Porto Rico and
other Spanish possessions which formed
the seat Of war. These claims, to the
amount of $25,0oo.o 900 on this score,
have already been lodged with the state
department. It is true that an un-
known proportion Of these claims are
based on depredstions committed by
Cuban insurgents for which it is ques-
tionable whether the Spanish govern
ment could be hold responsible. On the
other hand, it is believed that there are
many claims for large amounts that
have not yet been presented, owing to
the inability Of the claimants to secure
the necessary corroborative evidence
during the Spanish occupation Of the
evacuated territories, or because Of the
belief that 1t would be
Fruitless 70 Present Any Claim
60 long as Spanish sovereignty wa8
maintained. Now, however, by an
article in the treaty Of Paris, the United
States has assumed liability for all
claims preferred by its citizens on ac-
count of depredations, or, in fact, on
any proper score. In turn the Spanish
assumed liability for any claim that
might have been made on account of
Spanish citizens or the Spanish govern
ment itself against the United States.
What such claims have amounted to
cannot, be estimated. None were filed
with the United States government
prior to the declaration of war. But it
is recalled that there is much criticism
on the part Of high Spanish officials Of
the alleged failure of the United States
government to observe the requirements
of the neutrality laws, and more than
one statement to she effect that the
Spanish government intended to present
q claim for a round number of millions
on that score,

ST. PAUL, Dec. 28.-Judging from the
sentiments expressed just before the
close of the initial session of the 36th an
nual convention of the Minnesota Edu-
cational association, there will develop
strong hostility to the continuance of the
present system of state summer schools.
just before the close of the morning
session, Professor Bryant, chairman of
an old committee, appointed some time
ago to investigate the system of state
summer schools, submitted a report.
The report in some respects endorsed
the system, but suggested radical
changes whereby it could be improved
and the efficiency of the schools trebled.
1t seemed to be the opinion of the
teachers and professors that the present
system is Inadequate.
