TREATY IS FINISHED.
WILL BE SIGNED AT ONCE.
Main Points Agreed to but Minor Matters
Must Wait as Spain Is Not DIsposed
to Negotiate Farther.

Paris, Dec 0.-The United States
and Spanish peace commissioners con-
cluded their work yesterday, and fin
ally settled the terms of the treaty of
peace. They will, meet once more in
formal session, on Saturday or Mon
day next, when the Spanish commits
sioners, sorrowfully, and the Ameri-
cans, with feelings of relief, will
write their signatures upon the docu-
ment which embodies the results of
the war and the preparation of which
has consumed eleven weeks, longer
time than the war itself.
In the meantime the treaty will be
engrossed under the supervision of Mr..
Moore and Senor Ojeda, the secre
taries of the respective commissions.
The Spaniards are exceedingly bitter
over the result, though observing the
forms of friendliness and courtesy to
the end. Senor Montero Rios, whose
strong and persistent struggle to save
for his country every possible as
set from the wreck of her CO.
lonial empire, has commanded the
respect and admiration of his
opponents. went from the council
chamber to-day TO his bed In a state of
complete collapse, as the result of the
long strain and his chagrin over the
small fruits OF his efforts.
Senor Ojeda has been prostrated
since yesterday. and was unable TO at
tend the joint session to-day.
The Spaniards charge equal blame
upon the European powers and the
United States for their downfall. One
OF the Spanish commissioners said
this evening:
"The European nations have made
a great mistake in deserving Spain and
leaving her to spoilation by the brute
force of constituencies giant. They
all know that In the Philippines Amer
lea has taken more than she can di-
gest. She will ultimately sell the
islands TO England or Germany. and
when the transfer Is attempted IL will
-precipitate general European strife.
I'VE have refused TO sell any island
in the Carollnes. We never thought of
considering an offer. Nor have we con-
sented 10 negotiate upon any ques-
tlons except those directly involved in
the protocol. signed Mt Washington"
The members OF the commission say
the treaty will contain little outside
the scope of the Washington protocol,
and the matters directly based there
on, like the provisions for the evacua-
tion of the ceded territories. the trans
fer of public property therein, and
guarantees OF the safety of the prop
erty and rights Of the Spanish citizens
remaining there.
The details of this last class of
questions covered by the statement
which the Americans handed to Senior
Montero Rios at the last meeting,
were considered yesterday, but all the
commissioners refuse to divulge the
details OF the conference.
Several points upon which they were
unable TO agree were left open for dip
lomntic negotiations.

TURNyEREIN ST. PAUL
Will Extend It's Work Along PhysI-

The newly elected officers of the
Turnverein st. Paul held their first
meeting Thursday night, and quite a
few business questions of the society
were taken into consideration. Among
other affairs which were decided upon.
the board of officers resolved that dur
ing the month of February a masque-
rade ball should be given by the So
ciety, and a committee was appointed
to commence at once with the prepa-
rations for the event. In the near fu-
ture a list of subscriptions will be
circulated by the committee among
the friends of the society, and hope is
entertained that it will be received
with enthusiasm.
On Tuesday last the turnverein
started a boys class for gymnastics, in
order to meet a long-felt want. Mr..
Alfred Frank has taken charge of this
class. Mr. Frank has made quite a
reputation for himself as teacher of the
fencing class of the 'verein and no
doubt will be likewise successful in his
new undertaking. Boys from fourteen
to eighteen years of age, who wish to
take part in the exercises of this class.
are welcome to join, and are asked to
report Tuesday or Thursday evening
at 1870 o'clock at the gymnasium, 65
East Fifth street, at which time the
exercises of the class commence.

making any transfer of her property and
that Samuel Geise be restrained from making
any disposition Of any property received by
him from said Rose Oxmon and from recev-
ing any money under the assignment made
