The Negotiations MT parfs.

1t is a pretty game that is now on at
Paris. Inevitably the correspondents
drop into the Technology and lingo of
the great American game which Minis
ter Schenck introduced in England and
which has been recently prohibited in
Vienna. Up to the close of the Philip
pines discussion there was little oppor-
tunity for the display of diplomatic
skill although the Spanish representa-
tives managed to hold off the consider
alton of any important point for eight
long weeks. This, however, did not
prove the lack of diplomatic qualities
on the part of the American Commits
sioners, since the Administration at
Washington was quite willing to have
the matter go over until after the cleo
tions. Otherwise the appeal to the
country to present united support of
the President until peace should be
achieved would have had little force
and effect. In the issues covered by the
protocol, the Americans had every ad-
vantage. They were virtually disposed
of in advance. except in details and the
item of indemnity. 1t was in their
power TO put on the screws at any time
and thus leave the Spaniards to submit
or retreat. The latter played for the
intervention of or even for an express
sion of sympathy from, the other DOW
ers, but in vain. As George Sand eX-
claimed when Paris was bombarded in
the sight of an Indifferent world. that
the beasts of nations were willing TO
sell all virtue or see it sacrificed rather
than incur the least danger or trouble
to themselves, so Sagasta raved over
the brutal tranquility of powers that
should have held out hand to the cru.
Gifted.
The matters included in the protocol
being virtually settled in full accord
ance with the American program, there
is now chance for the rival diplomats
to show their mettle. Back of the Span
ish Commissioners is Sagasta, account
ed one of the smoothest and most ac-
complished of the European school-a
man said to be capable of holding his
own with Mephistopholes with any
thing like fair dealing of the cards.

DADY's HAVANA CONTRACT.
The Brooklyn Politician Says 1t
Cost Him S2I 900.

New York, Dec. 4-Michaei j. Dady,
Brooklyn contractor and politician, made
statement yesterday regarding the paw
ing and sewering of Havana, for which,
he asserts, he holds contract. He says
the contract involves an expenditure Of
about fifteen million dollars and that he
has spent $4,000 to date in securing it
He proposes to go to Washington at the
opening of Congress to ascertain his eX-
act standing in view of the fact that the
validity of his contract is questioned.
"I expect to go on with the work as
soon as order is restored he said. Il
am told by my agent in Havana that the
people have an idea that the United
States is going to order all this work done
as war measure, without cost 10 thenl.
and they regret my contract exists. but

there is no such idea contemplated and
the people will have to pay for their sani-
tation | have spent five years and
SCI 001 on this work and l propose to
maintain my rights. l stated my case
to Secretary of State Hay and showed
him my documents and he said If l had
vested rights they should be protected
the same as those of any other American
citizen"
Dady said consisted of a formal accept
ance by the Havana municipal council
on October 30 last of his plan for doing
the work. which was approved imnedi-
ately afterward by the public works de-
partment and board of health. The COM
mittee on finances and economic ques-
tions then agreed to the contract and
provided that sl.0OO.000 year should be
expended, the entire plant to be COM
pleted within five years, and at the eXpi-
ration of fifty years the plant 10 become
the property of the city of Havana.

wanted the work started at once to make
work for the unemployed. Dady says he
conferred with Gen. LaZardo. chief sani-
tary engineer sent to Havana by the
queen, who approved the plans, which
were again approved by the prime min
lister of Spain. 1t was agreed that the
City of Havana should be bonded FOR

Although it is proper, of course, to see
that the whole truth regarding the San
tiago campaign is finally exposed, We are
not altogether sure that something could
not be said in palliation of Shafter's S
course in connection with it. 1t may not
have been exactly right from a military
point of view for him to subordinate
everything else to a desire to please his
civilian chief, and hence his conspicu-
Gus absence from the front has been Sc
verely criticised. 1t must be admitted,
however, that any other line of conduct
would have looked like personal reflec-
ton on one to whom firing lines are be-
iieved TO be exceedingly obnoxious. Shaf-
ter did not have the advantage of Bal
timore hotel for purposes of retirement
during battle,sbut in pitching his head and
hind quarters upon the roof of a commits
sary shed three miles in the rear we think
that he paid as delicate a compliment to
mis- influential civilian friend as the pain
full circumstances would permit. "Imita-
tion is the sincerest fattery.''

YALE's CRUISER FUND.
To Use Unexpended Money for N
War Memorial.

New Haven, Dec. AT a recent meSting
of the Yale Cruiser Fund Committee II
was decided to use the surplus on hand as
the nucleus of a general fund for some
permanent memorial to the Yale men who
fell in the Spanish-American war. About
5,000 was raised for the purchase of the
two guns Ell and Handsome Dan for the
converted cruiser Yale. of which there is
an unexpended balance of s1,70O. The grad
yates will be canvassed for additions to
this sum and more definite plans for the
memorial drawn up by a specially APP
pointed committee. of which Dwight H.
Day, chairman of the Yale News Board,
is president.
The death roll of Yale In the Spanish
American war in whose honor this me-
mortal Is to be erected is not large. but
includes several of the best known of the
recent graduates. Theodore Westwood
Miller, whose diary has been published re-
Gently and promises to be one OF the lit
erary curiosities of the war, was a mem
Der of the Rough Riders and died at Sibo-
ney on July from wounds received dur
ing the assault on San Juan Hill. He
graduated In the class of 1897 and was
studying at the New York Law School at
the outbreak of the war. He was one of
the social lights of his class at Yale, and
his position among his college mates was
sufficiently shown by the fact that he was
selected to represent Yale at the sesqui-
centennial celebration at Princeton. He
also achieved some reputation as an ath-
iete.
Another Yale. member of the Rough
Riders was Gerard Merrick Ives, SO. COM
monty known among his classmates as
"Dago" Ives, from the fact that he had
been born and lived the greater part of his
life in Rome. Mr.. Ives did not see active
service. being one of the unfortunates who
was left behind at Tampa. Here he was
stricken with typhoid fever and was per-
mitted to leave the camp unaccompanied
and return to his home in New York. He
died shortly after his arrival on August 5.
Another victim of the typhoid fever was
Lazarus Denison Stearns, captain of Com
pany b. Ninth Pennsylvania Volunteers.
Stearns was a member of the class OF &c
and had achieved some success in the
business world. He died OF typhoid con-
tracted at Chickamauga- The record OF

Day is nil The issue was explained with
great lucidity by the Paris correspond
ent of The Times in yesterdays issue.
1t is whether the Commissioners shall
close up the business covered by the
protocol and ending with the cession of
the Philippines and the payment of an
indemnity of twenty million dollars to
Spain; or whether the next talk shall
concern the purchase of certain priv
ileges greatly desired by this country
and perhaps essential to the fullest use
of our new possessions. Naturally, the
Americans favor the last proposition,
for the reason that the decision already
reached, together with what is reason
ably expected is of more importance to
Spain, while what remains to be done is
of especial interest to America.
Spain is accorded certain privileges in
relation to the ceded colonies that are
still to be defined. 1t is within the
power of the Americans to make these
generous or narrow. and there is not
much doubt as to what they will do in
event of a complete failure of the later
disposed of without particular cause for
animosity on the part of our Commits
sioners. the Spaniards would be in
position to be exacting and even to de-
cline to enter into any trade whatever.
AS long as these privileges are unde-
fined and the status of Spain in the
ceded colonies still to be determined

positive advantage in the dicker over
other concessions. Therefore our repre-
sentatives favor taking up the subordi-
nate questions of purchase and sale.
about which nothing was said in the
protocol, and of having everything be-
tween the two countries included in this
treaty and agreed to before any sign
ing is done For the same reason that
whatever obstinacy they may choose to
show hereafter, the past, at least, is Sc
cure the Spaniards maintain that the
protocol features, having been agreed
to, should be completed and entirely
closed up, leaving the other matters 10
subsequent action, perhaps by special
plenpotentiaries. The two sides are
equal as far as merit goes. 1t is purely
matter of discretion, of choice or
taste, and without any principle or pre-
cedent to give an advantage to either
side So it is fair field for the exer-
else of those gifts of diplomacy which
men trained in the intricacies of the law
regard with admiration, but which
straightforward, simple folks look upon
as immoral.
Up to this time neither side has taken
trick. The Spaniards sent their
young man to tell the Americans, be-
tween meetings. that they could never
think of receding from their position.
The Americans met this by saying that
in that case there was no reason for
Saturday session and suggested a post
ponement until today, ostensibly to give
more time for the Spaniards to repent,
but presumably to talk with Washing
ton. It is contest that will be watched
with the keenest interest.

The outworn protectionists who cherish
the delusive hope that they may not only
preserve the battered Chinese wall that
surrounds the Union, but may even ex-
tend IL. so as to include our new posses
sions. have cause to blush over their dis
regard of the claims of a steadfast friend.
They are willing to concede to Spain, the
bitterest foe America has in the world,
certain trade privileges which they would
deny to England. To a self-respecting
American not demoralized by the selfish
ness of the protection policy. it is humil-
iating to believe there is desire to ex-
clude England from the benefits in the
Philippines which she is so eager to share
with us in Asia, when she is able to OBJ
tain them for herself. Mr.. w. T. Stead
writes that outside of England he has not
found a man in all Europe who is not op-
posed to American expansion and Ameri-
can prosperity and growth He writes
further that the other powers were pre-
vented from interfering with the cession
of the Philippines, only by the threat of
an American minister that England would
fight to support this country. There is
no reason to doubt the truth of his state
ment.

The disagreement and bad blood appa-
rently existing between Sampson and
Shafter is much TO be regretted, and to a
disinterested observer seems quite un-
necessary. Instead of wasting their time
and peculiar talents quarreling over the
honors of campaign to which neither
of them contributed anything but an un-
pleasant odor. it would be much more
natural and appropriate if they would
make up and combine in joint demand
for the laurels and prize money of Dew
eys victory at Manila. They were pres
ent on the occasion quite as much as they
were in the neighborhood of Santiago for
any useful purpose, and, by allying their
pulls they would certainly have bet
ter chance to secure recognition.
