BRYAN HAS RESIGNED.
His Successor Has Been Decorated
by the Chinese Government.

SAVANNAH (Ga), Dec 11.-General
Keifer, who is in command of the re-
naming troops of the Seventh Army
Corps since General Lees departure for
Cuba tonight, confirms the rumor of
Colonel w. j. Bryan's resignation of his
command. Both General Lee and Gen
eral Keifer endeavored to induce Colo
mel Bryan to go to Cuba, but were un-
successful.
Lieutenant Colonel Vifquain of the
Third Nebraska Regiment, who will
succeed Colonel Bryan upon the latter S
resignation, received notice to-day
from the Chinese Legation at Washing
ton that the Emperor of China had con-
ferred upon him the decoration of the
Order of the Double Dragon, in recog-
milton of his services to the Chinese
residents of the Republic of Colombia,
when he was United States Consul at
Panama.
Lieutenant Colonel Vifquain is a
graduate of the Royal Military Acad-
emy Of Brussels, and served in the
service of the present King of Belgium.
He served throughout the civil war in
the Union army, and was breveted
Brigadier General by Abraham Lincoln.

SAVANNAH (Ga.), Dec. 11.-General

Santiago, and now on the tug Cam
brit, screeched the Panama a parting
salute.
General Lee will remain outside of
Havana until January 1st, when he

The Panama will land at Marianao,
where General Lee will establish his

TO ADJOURN AT
AN EARLY DATE.
High Joint Commission Of Americans
and Canadians.
Sessions VIII Not Be Resumed TIL After
March 4th.
Canadians Realize That They Will
Than They Had Hoped For
Woman Charged With Having
Poisoned Her Fifth and Sixth
Husbands.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lit has been
agreed by the High Joint Commissions
of Americans and Canadians, which has
adjourn at an early date. This has not
yet been formally announced, but it is
understood that the day fixed for ad-
journment is December Doth. On the
evening of December 10Th the Cana
dians will give a banquet, to which the
Americans will be invited.
The understanding is that the ses-
sionS will not be resumed until after
March 4th next, when the American
Commissioners, who are members of
the House and Senate, will have leisure
to devote to the negotiations. Whether
the sessions will be resumed at Quebec,
where they were begun, or in this city,
has not been stated. The decision to
adjourn has grown out Of the develop
ments of the past week. While there
are several protocols in the proposed
treaty, notably the Behring Sea, the
North Atlantic fisheries, reciprocity and
questions affecting the great lakes, re-
ciprocity is the one great subject in
which the Canadians are interested.
came nearer than they have ever been
before to the discussion of that SUBJ
ject. The Canadians had submitted
proposals, and on Wednesday the
Americans submitted counter propos-
ais. These counter proposals showed
that the Americans were disposed to be
very unyielding, and that much smaller
concessions would really be made than
had been expected. The negotiations of
last week also convinced the Canadians
that free lumber, a consummation they
and all their people have devoutly
wished for, was impossible. The Amer
lean Commissioners not only told the
Canadians so, but the latter were in
vited to the Capitol, and while there
met several prominent members of the
House and Senate, who impressed the
fact still more firmly upon them. 1t is
said that the Americans have agreed
to small reduction of the duty on
live animals. and have intimated that
they may agree to small reduction in
the duty on lumber, now 81 per thou
sand. The Canadians had hoped for
much larger concessions.
This condition of things, and the ap-
parent impossibility of reaching an
agreement before Christmas, are said
to have led to the decision for an ad-
journment. The Senate may be called
in session after March 4th to transac ct
business, when there would be ample
time to present any treaty that may
have been framed with Canada.
AT present the outlook for an agree
ment is not bright.

sPAIN's PROTEST.
The ''Times" Denominates It I'm
reasonable and Unjustifiable.

LONDON, Dec 12-The editorials in
the London morning papers express sat-
isfaction at the signing Of the peace
treaty, the negotiations for which, the
Daily News remarks, have occupied
rather a longer time than the war.
The Times pretty accurately rep
resenting the views of the other papers
says:
Spain has lost her colonies because
her colonial system was founded upon
spoliatioh and tyranny. The United
States have not treated her any more
harshly than Germany treated France
in 1871, or Russia treated Turkey in
1878. Therefore, the Spanish memor-
andum of protest is unreasonable and
unjustified."
The article then refers to the diff
culties facing the United States and
expresses confidence that the healthy
vigor and practical capacity of the
Anglo-Saxons" will be fully competent
to deal with them.

have attacks of nausea and headaches,
and finally succumbed after an illness
of thirty hours.
No doctor was called, and Mrs John

persons present at the DEATH Some
time after the funeral there was so
much gossip among the neighbors that
the body was taken up and examined

COMMISSIONERS
ARE RESTING.
Hardly Realized the Intensity Of the
Strain.
Have Formed Friendships and Exchanged
Calls.
Spaniards Forced to Decline an
Invitation to Dinner-Provis-
ions of the Treaty as Signed
Spanish Government Approves
Of the Memorandum of Protest
Filed by Senior Montero Rios.

PARIS, Dec. 1.-THE United States
Peace Commissioners rested to-day af-
ter the long strain of daily conferences
and almost daily sessions with the
Spaniards, the intensity of which they
hardly realized until it was over.
Warm personal friendships and mutual
regard have arisen between the two
commissions as the result of their ex-
tended controversy at close quarters.
To-day several members of both COM
missions exchanged calls. The Ameri-
can Commissioners unoffcially inform
ed the Spaniards they would be glad
to have the two commissions dine to-
gether. The reply, which, like the in
vitation, was conveyed automatically
through third party, was that the
Spaniards would be most pleased, but
feared it would be inadvisable because
it might be misconstrued at Madrid,
where already much feeling existed
against the Spanish Commissioners.
Several members of the United States
commission were inclined at first to
publish the text of the treaty, but Sem
ator Frye made a strong plea yester-
day for the observance of courtesy to-
ward the United States Senate, and his
arguments prevailed.
Further details, however, have been
learned as to the wording of the treaty,
which provides that Cuba is to be re-
linquished and that Porto Rico and
the Philippines are to be ceded. The
Americans are to pay for the repatria-
tion of the Spanish troops from all the
colonies. The Spaniards are to return
all prisoners held by them. They are
to retain possession of all military
stores and munitions of war in the
Philippines and of such ships as have
not been captured.

two countries which the war ruptured
