PEACE is NEAR AT HAND
An Agreement Reached on
Essential Points.
TO CONSIST OF EIGHT ARTICLES.

The Treaty of Paris Practically Com
pIeted and Nearly Ready For sig
nntures-secondary Subjects and
Minor Details Under Discussion
Paris, Dec. 1.-THE peace of Paris IS
practically an accomplished fact, the
commissioners in joint session having
disposed of the essential features of the
treaty, which will be embodied in the
following articles:
First-The customary preface Of
treaties, in the nature Of an expression
of anfty and of hope for perpetual
peace.
seeond-The REIMBURSEMENT by Spain
of her sovereignty over Cuba.
Third-The withdrawal OF Spanish
troops.
Fourth -Relinquishment by Spain Of
sovereignty over Porto Rico.
Fifth-Spain's cession of the Philip
pines.
sixth-The withdrawal of the Span
ish troops there.
acknowledgement by the United
States of $40, 200 for the Philippines.
Eighth-The provision for the open
door commercial policy In the Philip
pines.
The rough draft of the treaty makes
a. long document which Senator Cush
man K. Davis of the United States
peace commission says will be found to
be one of the most interesting papers
of its character ever written. So COM
pleteIy are the details of the evacuation
of the Philippines stipulated that a
commission such as arranged for the
Spanish withdrawal from the West In
dies Will be unnecessary
Points Not Yet settled.
Among the questions not yet settled,
however, are the coaling station and re-
ligious freedom in the Carolines, the
Spanish commissioners not having re-
piled to the American offers.
The Americans have agreed to trans
port the Spanish prisoners home, in
Guiding the garrison and sailors at Ma
Mia, captured by Admiral Dewey and
General Merritt, as well as the soldiers
and civilians held by the F'Hipinos,
whose return the Americans have guar
anteed. AS compensation, Spain prom
ises to liberate all Cuban. Porto Rican
and Philippine political prisoners.

in the colonies may do SO, but it Is
more matter Of economy for the
Americans 10 return lue OtHerS, rtS THESE
must be fed as long as they are kept,
and Spain is unable to bear the ex-

Although the Americans have reject
ed Spain's request for free shipping for
ten years in Cuban and Porto Rican
waters, they have given the Spanish
commissioners permission to reapply,
when diplomatic relations have been
renewed. for shipping concessions un-
der the reciprocity scheme of the Ding
ley law, for which Senior Dupuy de
LONE was negotiating in Washington
when the war broke out.
There are still under discussion eight
secondary subjects, which the Spanish
commissioners broached last week, in
Guiding the patents and copyrights. The
American commissioners yesterday
handed Senior Montero Rios a written
reply covering these questions

playing. / am going to play with you. I'm

coaching and yelled as the colonel made a
dive for first: Run, Andy. run, you tallow-

three bags!" The colonel stopped at first,
turning on his heel, returned to the home
