In spite OF the secrecy observed by tho
Americans 1t Is learned that the treaty
in ksu bstancee consists of - or IA ar5t-
Giles.
The principal articles provide for the
oession and evacuation of Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippine Islands, and the
political, administrative and financial
results thereof; bhe requirement by the
United States of public property and the
REIMBURSEMENT of archives. The articles
of secondary Importance determine the
status of Spanish subjects remaining in
the coded territories and unfinished laws
and contracts. Guarantees OF the same
terms to Spanish shipping and merohaD>
disc in the Philippine island for ten years
and leaving the status of the Spanish
commerce in the West Indies to be set
tied later
An important provision is tbs guaran-
tee of religious freedom In the coded ter.
ritorjes, in the same terms as the Florida
Il eaty, the Americans having steadfastly
refused to incorporate any guarantees OK
the United States dissemination to favor
the property OF the Catholic church, lesy-
ing it subject to the general laws on the
same footing as private property.
The Americans were apprehensiye even
yesterday that there might be some un~
foreseea turn of affairs which would frus-
trate their efforts at the nth hour.
Senator Gray its well known to he OPP
posed to the policy of annexation or I'm.

OPPOSED TO EXHIBITION GAMES.

Chicago, December 9.-President James
A. Hart of the Chicago Baseball club will
leave tonight for New York to attend the
meeting of the league. President Hart
speaking OF the exhibition games says he
is unalterably opposed to any exhibition
contests under any circumstances and
that fight may be made in the annual
meeting to prohibit teams from playing
such games, even in spring training He
argues that exhibitions tend to cheaper
baseball, that In the spring games the
players are working for their own benei t
and not to make che game good, caring
more for their arms than for the satisfac-
zion of the public, and that such games
are void Of any value or interest. He does
not know how the rest Of the magnates
will stand on such proposition.
