PEACE TREATY CONCLUDED.

The terms Of peace between this coun-
try and Spain have been agreed upon,
and the signatures Of the commissions
ers will be affixed to-day or Monday
The full text ofthe treaty will, OF course,
not be known for few davs. 5Gt It is
claimed that they are confined to cues
tions directly involved in the protocol
signed at Washington. Spain refused
to sell one of the Caroline islands to
this country for any purpose or on any
terms.
The conclusion of the negotiations
will cause feeling of relief in this coun-
try and throughout the world, as there
was always possibility that something
would happen to prevent the conclusion
of treaty of peace. Indeed there is
still danger, as the treaty has yet TO be
ratified by the Spanish cOrtes and Con-
gress. That the Spanish cortes will
ratify the treaty, cannot be doubted, as
resistance would be useless. As Tor
congress, there may be some sparring
for political advantages by the parties.
but it will be ratified
The Spanish people naturally feel
very bitter against this country, but the
pill they have been compelled to swal-
low is of their own make. They are,
nevertheless, deserving of sympathy.
A once great nation, Spain has fallen
even as corrupt Rome fell.

IN NAPLES STREETS.
ln-Assorted Beasts of Burden Abound
Goats and Cows.


The streets of Naples present more
curious sights, probably, than DO those
of any other civilized city in western
Europe. Most curious OF all, perhaps,
Is the street traffic, with ill-assorted
animals and ludicIously matched teams
attached to most gTotesqUe vehicles
and vans, says a writer in the Boston
Herald. Recently in the Via di Roma,
which is the main shopping thorough
fare In Naples, l encountered a sort
OF dray or wagon drawn by three anil
mails abreast. A small horse was in
the center. with mule on one side
and a COW on the other. Not an OK,
mind you, but & COW. Oxen are as
common as Eu.c1 il Naples, while DON
keys are almost as much used as
hOrses-the latter, however, very
wretched looking beasts. Next in num-
Der to the horses, donkeys and mules,
are the goats that roam about every
street in Naples at all hours of the
day. The Neapolitan goat generally
resembles the ordinary red COW in
color, although black and gray goats
are common, as well as red and white
spotted ones that remind me in color of
an Irish setter. These goats not only
amble through the principal streets of
Naples In the most unrestrained fash
ion, but they nestle in small Tor large,
as the case may be- groups on the
sidewalk against the buildings and
hang about the entrances to the big
houses in which their owners live,
waiting to be MIXED. | am told 1t is
also customary for them to ascend four
or five long flights of the great stone
staircases that are built into the or
binary Neapolitan tenement dwelling
houses, where they also present them
selves to their owners for the purpose
above stated. All this diversified street
traffic presents an anomalous scene.
especially when in its midst one sees
many handsome carriages and beau
ttful horses, as well turned out and
groomed as those in Hyde Park itself.
That is the ludicrous part of the scene
the contrast presented by the splen-
did thoroughbreds and smart carriages,
the shaky cabs and their wretched,
