The "DiamondReld" Jack Davis par.

was, aye-Governor Steunenberg and

Paris, Dec. S.-The United
States and Spanish peace COM
missioners concluded their work
today and finally settled the terms
of the treaty of peace. They
will meet once more in formal
session, on Saturday or Monday,
next, when the Spanish commits
sioners sorrowfully, and the
Americans with feelings of relief,
will write their signatures upon
the documents which embodies
the result OF the war, the prepare
ton Of which has consumed
eleven weeks, longer time than
the war itself. In the meantime
the treaty will be engrossed
under the supervision OF MIR.
Moore and Senior Ojeda, the
secretaries Of the respective COM
missions.
The SpaniardS are exceedingly
bitter over the result, though OBJ
serving, the forms of friendiness
and courtesy to the end. Senior
Montero Rios. whose strong and
persistent struggle to save for his
! country every possible asset from
the wreck of her coloniol empire,
has commanded the respect and
admiration of his opponents, went
from the council chamber today
to his bed in a state of complete
collapse, as the result of the long
strain and his chargin over the
small fruits of his efforts.
Senior Ojeda has been pros
trated since yesterday and was
unable TO attend the joint session
today.
The Spaniards charge equa.
blame upon the European
powers and the United States fo1
their downfall. One of the Span
ish commissioners said this eve
ning:s

made a great mistake in deserving

ton by the brute force of {

Salu tOddyS we nave
settled all the points on which we
can agree. 1t only remains to
engross and sign the treaty.
That will be done in two or three
days"
The members of the commits
sion say the treaty will contain
little outside the scope of the |
Washington protocol and the
matters directly based thereon,
like the provisions for the evacua-
lion of the coded territory, the
transfer of public property there
in and guarantees of the safety of
property and rights Of the Spanish
citizens remaining there.
The details of the class of
questions covered by the state
rnent which the Americans
handed to Rios at the last meet
ing. were considered today, but
all the commissioners refuse to
divulge the details of the con-
ference. Several points upon
which they were unable to agree
were left open for diplomatic
negotiations.
The Spaniards refuse to admit
that they had failed to respect
former treaties guaranteeing
religious freedom in the Caroline
islands or that there was ne
cessity for such guarantees. The
conclusion of the work was,
according to the commissioners,
marked by politeness and all OUT
ward evidences of good feeling
and relief at the fact that the task
was accomplished.
| When all the propositions had
been discussed, Judge Day, presi-
dent of the American commission
remarked: "There seems to be
nothing more to do but to engross
and sign the treaty"
Rios, president of the Spanish
commission, acquiesced to this
and the Americans bowed them
selves out before the Spaniards,
recording to their custom.

predict as one of the results of the
treaty, a diplomatic contest be-
tween France and the United

They Have One Consolation Anyhow
Thomas Thornton, OF 90. D, Idaho
Volunteers at Manila, writes to his
brother at San Francisco an interesting
letter which is copied by the North
Idaho Star. The letter closes with the
following: at surprised me very much
that you did not see anything in the
papers concerning the Idaho braves.
We were there just the same. We were
held in reserve, but our Colonel was
where the shells were the thickest-
down on the seashore watching Dewey

Havana, March 14.-Rumors are in
circulation here TO the effect that
American warships are to arrive in this
port, and ii is further reported that the
United States will send either the bat
TO stay two or three hours. No cause Is
assigned for the latter story. nor is the
report confirmed officially.
The day was sultry and cloudy. Dur
ing the morning there was a session of
the United States court of inquiry into
the loss of the battleship Maine, the
members of the court sitting on the
poop of the Mangrove. discussing vari-
Gus matters in connection with their
work.
Arrangements are in progress to dis
continue number of the relief stations
in Havana. which are open only at GER
tain hours, and to establish one large
central station, which will be open for
relief at all hours of the day with four
suburban stations. Lists have been Sc
cured of the names of the towns near
Havana, for the number OF inhabit-
ants and destitution in each case.
These lists will he extended through
out Cuba. to embrace all the localities
where suffering exists. A careful esti-
mate. 1t is hoped, will he made of the
total number to be provided for, so
that the amount and variety of the
daily rations can be fixed according to
the money available. Tt is believed
that the long established hospitals and
asylums of Havana can be made much
use Of If assistance is judiciously given
to their regular managers. II is fur
ther hoped that by spending $4,000 in

can be made a model refuge. with new
beds, good kitchens, etc.
One unidentified body was recovered
to-day from the wreck of the Maine.
Important factions of the autonomists
of Matanzas and Santa Clara, repre-
senting all races, have agreed not TO
take part in the general or local cleo
tions next month. In some political
circles the opinion is expressed that
this agreement is the result OF discon-
tent. caused by the fact that the au-
tonomist government has been unable
to give employment TO the excessive
numbers of people who have been seek
ing positions in the government offices.
The Marquis Garcia. the governor of
Santa Clara, tried to induce these fac
tions to promise that they would take
part in the elections. but he has been
unable to change their resolution.
Captain General Blanco has ordered
that the sum OF $50 900 be spent In re-
constructing the Pando railroad bridge
near Gizara. in the province Of Santi-
ago de Cuba. The bridge. which was
destroyed by dynamite. is needed to es-
tablish a line of communication.
In the district of Whales. province of
Pinar del Rio. tonaeco to the value of
$7o0 900 has already been gathered. The
other large estates have not been har-
vested.

THE RESULT is KNOWN.
President Mckinley and His Cabinet Are
Prepared tn Act mt Once.

st. Paul, March 1.-THE Globes
Washington special says: The presi-
dent and his cabinet know, unofficialiy
the result of the Maine inquiry. They
are prepared to act. They have can
vassed the course of events, so far as
they can foresee them, and have for
mulated a policy to Meet the emer-
gency. Along It's lines the administra-
ton expects to move unless IL Is swept
off its feet by a wave of popular dis
satisfaction. The Globes special cor
respondent Is able to present the fore
cast of events as viewed by the presi-
dent and his cabinet. 1t can be out
lined thus;
First-The board of inquiry will re-
port this week that the explosion was
external.
Second-The president will immedi-
ately. through Minister Woodford. de-
mand from Spain an indemnity of $10.-
600 600
Third-Spain is expected to reply ex-
pressing her willingness to pay If she
is responsible. but maintaining that
her own investigation shows that the
explosion was internal and purely ac-
cidental She will therefore suggest
reference to an international board of
arbitration.
Fourth--In such an event the ad-
ministration would be disposed to COM
ply with the suggestion unless there Is
an emeute in Havana or an Irresistible
demand for war sweeps through con-
gress.
Fifth-If congress aeauiesces in the
suggestion the attempt will be made
10 adjourn the body and leave the
whole matter in the presidents hands.

Is also much more formidable, not so
much in caliber, for the main battery
is made up Of six six-inch guns, but
these guns, as well as the 4.7-inch guns
are of what is known as 50-caliber
length, giving them an unusual range
and power In addition to this they
have 10 six-pounder, quick firing guns,
four one Founders, four Maxim ma.
chine guns and two boat or field guns.
The torpedo tubes are three in number.
The coal capacity is $50 tons, giving
her an effective steaming radius of
5000 knots, most valuable feature in
asmuch as it would enable the ship to
cross and recross the Atlantic without
coaling. Such a vessel used as a COM
merce destroyer would be vastly more
effective than what appears to be more
powerful crafts, because of their ability
to get along on long cruises without
touching at neutral ports to coal, and
thus exposing themselves to capture.

DUE TO AN ACCIDENT.


6our = Finding.
Washington, March 1.-THE Spanish
minister Senor Polo Bernabe, re-
eeiyed a number OF dispatches to-day
from the minister Of state at Madrid
and from Captain General Blanco.
Those from General Blanco stated that
the situation at Havana and through
out the island was quiet and satisfac-
tory. The minister of state cabled in
substance:
The uprising in the Philippines Is so
insignificant that il VIII be ended by
the time YOU receive this
Senior Polo did not have occasion to
visit the state department to-day. At
II o'clock he made his first formal call
by appointment on the French ambas-
sador and at II o'clock on the British
ambassador. Informal social ex-
changes had previously been made, but
the calls to-day We're in the nature of
formal meetings of the representatives
Of the two governments. The minister
asked that an emphatic denial be made

II was explained by the minister that
Senior Ceballos had recently been
named by the autonomous cabinet as
an aid to him in framing the proposed
commercial treaty between the United
states and Cuba. That was in accord
anee with the autonomous plan by
which the Gubans themselves were
given control Of their tariff affairs But

pointed out. he was 10 assist him az
