Tfealy Of Peace Finished.

The cable. brings us the news that the
Spanish American peace treaty is I'm
ished. President Day. of the American
commission, states that every point upon
which there is a possibility of an agree
ment Is settled and all that remains is
-the engrosslng and signing of the treaty.
This brings 10 an end all negotiations
with everything favorable TO the United
States, the spaniards simply refusing TO
cede a coallng station on the Caroline
islands.
Doubt and speculation may now be re-
garded as at an end, and the public at
tentlon in both countries VIII be turned
TO the subject of the ratification by the
proper authorities In the respective
countrles-in our case the United States
senate.
The last wall of the Spanish commits
sloners was uttered by Senior Rios, who
had a word to say about the Presidents
reference to the Names destruction, and
which the American commissioners per-
mitted to pass unchnllenged, because a
discussion would have provoked bad
blood.
This ls all there Is of it for the present,
Negotiations cease. It is a triumph all
the way through for the United states
which, despite the assertions OF the
critics to the contrary, .has been far
more generous In the settlement than
any other Natlon of power would have
been under the circumstances. Two con-
tinents have cause to congratulate
themselves that the two countries have
agreed upon all terms.
The next chapter in the history will be
enacted in Washington and Madrid. In
Washington 1t will relate to the govern
ment of new possessions. In Madrid 1t
will relate to their loss. In the one it
will deal with questions OF civilization.
In the other there will be crisis which
may end in the fall of a dynasty.
