The American Commissioners at
Paris, are now proceeding with the
negotiations with rapidity that is
satisfactory to the administration
at Washington, but it is said to be
a physical inposibility tor all of
subjects requiring adjustment
be closed up Immediately. The
whole matter has not yet been made
public but as far as can be learned
the provisions of the treaty are as
follows:
Cession of Porto Rico to the
United States.
Evacuation of Cuba.
CeSSiOn of the Island Of Guam, in
the Iadrones.
pela9o to the United States upon
the payment of $2OOOOOOO.
Remuneration of all claims for
indemnity.
Religious liberty in the Carolines.
Liberation of all political prison
erS.
Restoration OF past treaties and
commercial relations.
The taking over of the Island of
husaie or Ualan, in the Carolines,
tor telee.raphlc and naval station.
Gable station rights at other
points in Spain's jurisdiction.
1t is now said that the treaty will
be of a wider scope than was con
templated few days ago, for it will
probably provide for complete re-
sumption of the diplomatic and
commercial treaties that existed be-
tore the war In other words tho
United States having. taught Spain
a lesson, and won great victory,
is willing to be magnaninous. The
conclusion of the present treaty is
not to be retarded by discussion
OF the delicate and complex ques-
tons relating to diplomatic and
commercial agreements, but it is
thought that there will be an under
standing in the matter looking to-
ward such negotiations in the ear
future

 When Huntington was in San Diego eight years ago he said the Yuma rnilrosd w0uld be bull: when it could guarantee four per cent on the bonds.
