THE TREATY is FINISHED.
DESERVING Spain,

But Spanish Commissioners May Not Sign
1t After All.
Paris, December S.-The peace treaty
is finished.
Judge Day said this afternoon: We
have settled all the points upon which
there is possibility of agreement. Only
the engrossing remains. :
The Spaniards today refused to cede the
United States coaling station in the
Caroline islands.
che American peace commissioners en-
tered the joint conference in nervous
frame of mind.
They evidently had reasons to believe
that possibility existed even at this late
hour that there might be rupture.
This week the commissioners OF Spain
do not conceal the fsct that having failed
to gain all important points they are
indifferent as to whether or not he con :
ferences result in settlement of peace by
she signing of treaty by which Spain
loses all her colonies.
The Madrid papers are disposed to re-
yive the.question of the Maine and excite
public opinion against the United States
on account of the reference made to this
subject in President Mckinley s message.
they contain reports that Senator
Montero Rios, president OF the Spanish
commission, made an 1mpasslOned de-
nunciation of President Mckinley at the
ioins meeting Of the commissions. but
these reports are practically without
foundation.
Senor Montero Rios did ..refer to the
Maine, but in only one calmly worded
sentence he expressed regret that the
President had spoken as Sphnlards
thought, unjustly of them.

ANOTHER WAR INVESTIGATION.
Resolution introduced Yesterday by
Senator Vest.

senate Committee on Foreign Relations
Consider Hawaiian Commissioners Re-
post-Lumber the Rock Ahead of
Reciprocity Agreement with Canada.
Washington, December S. S.-Senator Vest
today introduced in the Senate resolu-
tion providing for the appointment OF a
| Joint commission to investigate the
charges of corruption in the conduct OF
the war with Spain.
The preamble to the resolution rec1tes
that sscharges have been made In the
public press over the signatures OF re-
sponsible parties that improper and cor
rupt means have been used to secure con-
tracts from the government for the pur-
chase of vessels for the navy and for the
furnishing of clothing and other necessary
articles for the army Of the United States
during the war with Spain at "exorbitant
and excessive rates. The resolution calls
for the appointment of three Senators and
five members of the House, and imposes
upon them the duty of ''inquiring IS to
the truth OF all such charges and make
report by bill or otherwise. =
The Senate committee on foreign rela-
tions held meating todny to consider tne
bill reported by the Hawaiian commission
for the government Of the Hawaiian
islands, The bill was only considered In
a general way, the committee deciding to
postrone detail work for week because
the full report of the commission has NOT
been printed. Next Wednesday the meas
ure will be taken up section by seculon
and the whole matter will be carefully
considered.
memters of the commissions and also
members of the committee, were present
at today's s meeting and exchanged many
of the general features of the bill. NO
opposition was developed.
The committee authorized a favorable
report on the joint resolution for the ex-
tension of the Mexican boundary treaty
for year. This was in accordance with
request contained in the Presidents
message.
While no disposition was manifested to
make any opposition to the Hawaiian bill
as a whole. some of the mem bers of the
committees indicated desire to amend 1t
in some particulars Senator Turpie was
among those who showed such disposi-
ton. His objection to the bill as reported
is on account of the provision Iof coll
gressional delegate. The supporters OF tne
Bin indicated a Willingness to strike out
this provision and it looks as it this
would be done.
The session of the Canadian joint high
commission today was again devoted to
the reciprocity clause. 1t is understood
that the rock ahead at this stage is the
lumber schedule, the American interests
along the border bringing great pressure
to bear on the American side of the com-
missicn to prevent any material conoes-
sions. while the Canadians feel that the
forests products of Canada are the most
material subject for consideration in any
reciprocity scheme.
General Garcia of the Cuban army, who
has been confined to his hotel for some
days, is announced to be quite seriou sly
sick. There are some fears of pneumonia.

Will Meet Only Once More in Formal
Session.
spANIARDs EXCEEDINGLY BITTER
OVER THE RESULTS.

/
United States for Their DOWNFALL
Say Europe Made Great Mistake in
DESERVING Spain,
Paris. December 8.-The United States
and the Spanish peace commissioners
concluded their work today and finally
settled the terms of the treaty of peace.
They will meet once more in formal ses-
sion, on Saturday or Monday next, when
the Spanish commissioners, sorrowfully,
and the Americans with feelings of re-
lief, will write their signatures upon the
document which embodies the results of
the war and the preparation of which
has consumed eleven weeks. longer time
than the war itself In the meantime,
the treaty will be engrossed under the SUI
pervision of Mr.. Moore and Senior Ojeua,
the secretaries of the respective commits
sions.
The Spaniards are exceedingly bitter
over the results though observing the
forms of friendliness and courtesy to the
end. Senor Rios whose strong and per-
sistent struggle to save for his country
every possible asset from the wreck of
her colonial empire, has commanded the
respect and admiration of his opponents,
went from the council chamber today to
his bed, in state of complete collapse
as the result of the long strain and iss
chagrin over the small fruits of BIS
efforts. Senior Ojeda has been Frustrated
since yesterday and was unable to attend
the joint session today.
The Spaniards charge equal blame upon
the European powers and the United
Sattes for their down fall. One of the
Spanish commissioners said this evening:
The European nations have made q
great mistake in deserting Spain and
leaving her to spoilation by the brute
force of a CONSCIOUSNESS giant They all
know that in the Philippines the United
States has taken more than she can di-
gest. She will ultimately sell the ISL
ands to England or Germany, and when
the transfer is attempted, it will precipi-
tate general European strife.
&C We have refused to sell any island
in the Carolines. We never thought of
considering an offer. Nor have we con-
sented to negotiate upon any questions
except those directly involved in the pro-
tocol signed at Washington.
