Handsome Painting of Mrs. Ingram.

On exhibition at Franck's rooms. on

PARIS December 1O-The treaty OF
peace was signed at S:i5 this evening.
NEW MINISTER TO MADRID.
WASHINGTON. D. c.. December TO-
In view Of the signature Of the peace
treaty. the government will be obliged
very speedily to take steps looking to the
restoration Of the diplomatic machinery
necessary to friendly relations with Spain.
So far. the President has not given much
consideration TO the selection Of a United
states Minister 20 Madrid.
PROBABLY NOT MR.. WOODFORD.
The recent visit 10 the White House Of
2Ir. Woodford. late Minister 10 that capt
tal has been enormously construed to
Indicate a determination on the part Of
the President to return him TO Madrid.
As a matter Of fact, this is improbable,
as the whole line of diplomatic precedent
IS IN the direction OF wiping out all old
issues. and starting fresh after a war.
with now Ministers on both sides.
SPECIAL ENVOY FIRST.
II custom is followed, either the next
United States Minister TO Madrid or the
next Spanish Minister to Washington Will
he accredited with credentials as a spe-
clh envoy to exchange ratncations Of
the treaty now being negotiated at Paris.
Having fulfilled that function, he will
then present his credentials as Minister
resident and remain in that capacity.
