Is SIGNED AT LAST. /
TREATY OF PEACE FINISHED.
signed 1t Paris Saturday Night and ried
with American and Spanish CoI0ru-

Paris, Dec. 1.-THE treaty Of peace
was signed 1T $40 last evening.
The signing OF the treaty last night
would have afforded subject for n
great historical painting. The group,
gathered about the table In the stately
chamber OF the foreign Office, was i'm
pressive In itself, while the fact that
the sense Of the momenfoumess OF the
issues which the act decided was
deeply felt by nll the participants gave
an impressive and solemn tone to the
scene.
Around the great mahogany table sat
the ten arbitcrs of the destiny OF an old
and young nation. Ranged about and
behind them were numerous attaches
OF the American Commission. The Jets
from the crystal chandeliers above the
heads of those present magnified the
brilliant green and scarlet of the up
holsterings In their gaudiness.
There was n contrast between the
black-clothed arbiters and the scenery.
To the Americans. 1t was happy end.

Spaniards. 1t was plainly n bitter trug-

coat. though logs were burning In the
fireplace near by.
The spirits of the two bodies were
symbolIzed by the clothes worn by the
members OF the commissions, for the

diately nfter the meeting by the Dec

with which the documents were
hosts of the commissions.
Many officials interestedly watched
every detail of the proceedings.
The last seal being impressed. the
commissioners arose and. without form
nifty, each member shook the hands of
all his antagonists and exchanged as
surnnccs of sincere personal esteem.
The Spaniards afterward commented
1cridly upon what they termed the bad
taste of the Americans In mastering n
crowd OF attaches to glont over the
consummntion of their downfall and
then scramble for relies.
The signing was finished at S:45. AT
that time the door OF the chamber
opened and Senor yillaurutia appeared
and exclaimed TO n group of correspon-
dents who were waiting in the corridor:
'Cest fini."
The treaty. ms signed. consists of sew
enteen articles, 1t having been found
advisable TO sub-dlvide two or three of
the articles In the draft agreed upon
at the last meeting.
The commissioners of the two ma
tions wrote their signatures on two
copies Of the treaty, one copy being for
the archives.
The document was prepared by Sec
retary Moore In behalf of the United
States Commission and by Senior VII
laurntia for Spain. on account of the
continued illness Of Senor Ojedo.
