Comnleted inc nraft-

Paris, Nov. 30.-As the result of the work of Mr. Moore and Seuor Ojeda, the draft of the articles em- bodying tae protocol agreement ts was completed last evening. It was presented to the two commis : sions today. There will be little delay on these articles. Mr, Moore will also submit to the UnitedStates commissioners the subjects to be presented to the Spaniards for ne. gotiations. These for convenience are being drafted into the form of articles.
 The relase of the insurgent pris- oners held by Spain will go into the protocol agreements, it having been already agreed that Spain is to re- lease them upon the United States undertaking to secure the release o Spanish prisoners in the hands of Aguinaldo. This question is so in timately related to the peace treaty that it has been removed from the subjects that are matters of nego- tiahon and has been embodied in the articles containing the protocol agreements

THE SPANlARDS PROTESTED THAT THEIR SOVERElGN- TY OVER PHILIPPINES
 WAS NOT AFFECTED.
Stllit is all Ours and They Recognize This Fact and the Americans Will be Sailing for Home
 in a Fortnight,

New York, November 29. A dis patch from Paris says: Spanish Peace Commissioner Abrazuza, dis cussing tic peace negotiations, said "We have fulfilled our mission here and have agreed to make a treaty of peace, but we do so under protest that our sovereign rights over the Philippines are still intact. Our memorandum today sets forth this fact, though admittedly it can not affect the treaty "
 Being asked if the treaty will con- tain any reference to debts, Senor Abrazuza answered: ''No, inasmuch as the Americans have put these questions aside and have refused to take them into account when tram ing the treaty. Subsidiary matters, cable sectior S and so on will be dealt with separately. l do not expect more than two or three sitJings af- ter Wednesday,"
 Senor Ojeda, principal Spanish secretary, said: Peace is assured. We have agreed to slgn the treaty in accordance with the protocol at Washington, but at the same time protesting our soy vereigd rights over the Philippines and stating that we only yield to the hard American terms owing to our inability to re- new the war and in the presence of superior force. /"
 Secretary Moore, of the American commission, puts 1t this way: 4The Spaniards accepted our conditions unreservedly, and draft of the treaty will be laid before the joint meeting next Wednesday. They have accepted $20, OOO,OOO for the Philippines. "
 The American commissioners are highly pleased and relieved that the crisis has been successfully sur mount ted. They did not at all relish the possibility of failing in their task. President Day remarked with undisguised qualification; q hope We shall be sailing for home in a fortnight. Everything is now clear"
 The acceptance of the terms pro- posed by the American peace com missioners by the Spanish commis- sioners amounts to: q.) Cession oi all the Philippine Islands. (2) Ces- sion of one of the Caroline Islands. (3) Gable station rights in other Spanish colonies. (4.) Religious freedom for all the Carolines, (5). Release of Cuban and Philippine po- litical prisoners. (6) Revival of certain treaties that have lapsed. l CD Mutual abandoning of all claims for indemnity. The cession of Por- to Rico, the rellnquishment by Spain of sovereignty over Cuba and the cession of the Island of Guam Tn the Ladrones was provided for aud agreed in the protocol signed Au- gust l2.

Says United States rag" Shall Never

MADRID, May 27.-In the Senate to-day
Marshal Primo de Rivera, former captain
general of the Philippines. defended his ad-
ministration of the colony. He said he
could not believe his ears when he was told
or the disaster at Cavite, adding: THAT rag
called the American flag shall never float
over the walls of Manila" The Philippines.
he continued, had not had ample means of
defense. He appealed to the government to
supply them, but the government answered
that the Pope had interviewed, and that
there was no fear of rupture
Inc naval committee "a Manila examined
into the position carefully and reached the
conclusion that 1t was quite impossible to
oHer battle to the Americans. THE YAM
KEGS are deceiving themselves" Marshal de
philippines. 1t is absolutely impossible that
they should become masters of the islands.
Tor the natives, to an immense majority
are determined to defend the territory to
the last and to maintain Spanish SOW
ereignty."
Captain Aunon. minister of marine, said
1t was inopportune to discuss the war at
present. He had neither approval nor dis
approval to express of Marshal de Riveras
administration. but he considered it neces-
sary to exercise a certain reserve In the in
tereSt of the country.

patches to the cruiser Minneapolis. at San
tiago.
The dispatches of Commodore Schley are
in cipher and cannot be read if captured.
About noon the British ship Adula, bound
from Kingston, Jamaica. with orders from
United States Consul Dent to bring off refu-
gees from Cienfuegos, was hailed, and Cap
tain Walker said he had seen the Spanish
fleet at Santiago de Cuba on the previous
Thursday, but understood it was bound for
Cienfuegos. The harbor, he said, had TWEEN
ty-seven electric mines, while that of Glen
fuegos had twenty contact mines. The Adula
proceeded and Commodore Schley was in
clined to believe that the Spanish squadron
had got behind the hills in bend of the
harbor, so that thorough investigation
will be made tonight If the fleet is there
it is caught like rat in trap. If not then
Commodore Schley will go east.
Tuesday Morning.-Still off Cienfuegos. q
am sending this by one of the Associated
Press dispatch boats) The flying squad
ron was reinforced this morning by the adj
dtion of the cruiser Marblehead and the
gunboat Eagle 1t was still lying off the
harbor and the arrival of these two ships,
both of which have been in this locality be-
fore, as is demonstrated by the shattered
buildings on the coast, may assist IN SOW
ing the question of what is concealed in
the deep harbor which lies at the end of a
long. tortuous channel, narrow enough at
places to prohibit enrance being made
by fleet except in single column.
The information given by the refu-
gees is to the effect that there
are twenty-one mines laid in this channel,
all contact mines. When they were original
ly laid the intention was to set them off by
electricity, but there was some failure and
they were changed to explode by contact.
1t is also said there are sixteen gunboats of
the enemy in the harbor and many thou
sands of Spanish troops on shore. clear
view of the harbor is not obtainable from
the American ships, and it is possible that
the Spanish fleet is far inside. This would
be a much more advantageous place to land
supplies and troops than Santiago, because
of the fact that there is a railroad connec-
ton with Havana while Santiago is cut off
by the insurgents.
The squadron now lying here consists of
the flying squadron reinforced by few
other vessels. A strict censorship of news
relating to future movements of the squad
ron has been established by Commodore
Schley and information as to those move
ments is not known except to the commo-
dore in command The cruiser Marblehead
landed three thousand rounds OF ammuni-
ton for the insurgents to-day (Tuesday)
and Knocked down block signal house of
the enemy.

croft. The stranger was a three-masted
steamer, and apparently a merchantmen of
large tonnage. She had one smokestack.
No doubt was entertained of her being
after her, she steamed away at full speed.
The Wilmington was coming in here for
coal about 80 last evening, when, between
twelve and fifteen miles off Key West, she
saw the smoke of a steamer and turned in
the latter's direction. AT about the same
the Wilmington if she had seen anything OF
a three-masted steamer which had been
chased by the auxiliary gunboat Eagle. The
Wilmington then notified the Bancroft OF
the three-masted steamer, and while doing
so a stranger hove in sight. The Bancroft
east with the Bancroft going Iull speed
after her. The chase was a most exciting
one when the Wilmington last saw the two
vessels.
1t is presumed that the Spanish ship OBJ
serving the Wilmington's military top, mis-
safe to continue scouting, trusting to her
superior speed for escape. but when the
Bancroft appeared the Spaniard lost no
time in trying to get away. Captain Todd,
of the Wilmington has no doubt the Ban
croft will catch the Spaniard.
A custom house official here. when he
heard the story, said he had seen a strange
ship off Key West last night. adding that
she was gone in the morning. Captain
Todd is confident the vessel being chased
by the Bancroft is a Spanish auxiliary
cruiser on scout duty.
The Wilmington came IN from the block
ade and reports all quiet there. The rainy
season is just beginning in Cuba, and the
feet of war ships and newspaper dispatch
boats have experienced bad weather during
storms. Off the Cuban coast to-day the
weather is pleasant.
