The newspapers generally express re-
lief at the signing Of the treaty. The
Independent organs, most of the provin-
cial papers and the Carllst and repub-
lican journals attack both political par
ties, conservative and liberal, reproa III
ing them equally with having brought
the country to the present pass.
Ell Impartial alone publishes the
contents of the treaty, which produces
less unfavorable impression than had
been expected, owing to the commercial
and other concessions to Spain.
Ell Liberal says: "The Paris negotia-
! tions offer far sadder spectacle than
the ships which are bringing back our
repatriated soldiers, deplorable as the
condition of the latter is.'
Several mem bers of the United States
commission were inclined at first to
publish the text of the treaty, but Sem
ator Frye made strong plea yesterday
for the observance Of courtesy toward
the United States senate, and his ar
guments 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 oeded. The
Americans are to pay for the repatria-
tion of the Spanish troops from all the
colonies. The Spaniards are to return
ali 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. The commercial
treaties between the two nations, which
the war ruptured, are to be renewed at
the convenience of the two nations.
