 Justice to spain, the Matter of the Maine
 Must be Cleared Up.
 Paris, Dec. 1o-Senor Montero Rios, president of the Spanish peace com mission, and senor Ojeda, secretary of that commission, are still confined to their beds. The illness of Senor Ojeda delays expressing the treaty, and it is doubtful whether it will be signed before Monday.
 The Americans held their usual daily session.
 CONTINUE BITTER COMMENTS.
 The Spaniards continue making bit ter comments concerning President McKinley's reference to the Maine. When a correspondent approached Se- nor Garnica, of the Spanish peace commission, for further details of the treaty, he said:
 sThe fact that you represent all the American and English papers is really reason why 1 should say nothing. But, what you show me as having been cabled is substantially correct, The exact number of articles is still undetermined. It depends upon how Secretaries Ojeda and Moore divide the treaty. 1t may be 12 or 20 arti- cles. The Americans are to pay the indemnity within three months of the ratification. We should appoint con suls in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phil lipine islands without delay. The Gu ban consul will be accredited to the powers that be"
 r THE AMERICANS HAD CHEEK.
 Asked why the Spaniards refused to grant the United States a eoaling sta tion in the Caroline islands, Senor Garnica said "The Americans could hardly expect that we should agree to discuss matters outside ot the proto- col, after the lesson we have had from them on this point. When we wished to discuss the Yuban debt they ab- eolutely refused to consider it, and then they ask us for whatever they want Quelle touPet (''what eheek'). Yet the Cuban debt remains an i'm portant question for settlement. y THE QUESTION OF THE MAINE.
 In regard to tn Spaniardsa final protest on the subject of the Maine, Senor Garnica said: That protest now becomes history, as it is embodied in the protocol. We uo not wish to remain under m imputation which would perpetuate animosity and hatred against us and which would be a source of constant irritation in Spain. 1t is neither loyal nor just that this thing should hang over the reputa- tion of Spain. We can not submit to it. It must be cleared up, in justice to ourselves. There are many other causes to bring hatred between the two nations without the addition of suchsa one as this.
 AS TO FUTURE RELATIONS.
 "As to the future relations of the two countries, that is one Of the things history alone can determine. Many nations which have been deadly genemies are speedily reconciled."
 Senor Garnica was then questioned as to the future of the Philippine is lands, and he said:
 ''The United States has inaugurated pOIIcy WnlCu WILL DIliiB lt mucu trouble and many responsibilities. The Americans are not prepared for the work they are about to undertake.
 "Your democratic system must in- augurate an imperialistlc and bureau cratic system, and you must increase your army and navy, with the result that there will be constant friction between yourselves and the European powers"

the big Royal City planning mills and

Geography is not only one of the
most interesting studies, but one of the
most important as well. 1t is not of
value to the student alone, but TO every
man and woman who wishes To keep
N touch with the happenings Of the
great world about them. The news
from distant parts of the earth, which
Is brought to the breakfast table every
morning, is much OF it little better
than Greek to the person who Is I'M
familiar with geography. In fact the
stirring events OF the world compel
those who desire to have the correct
knowledge of them to be daily students
of this important branch Of education.
This truth Is apparent to anyone who
has tried to follow the course of our
wal with Spain. Before Admiral Dew
ey's victory how many people knew the
location OF Manila and the Philippine
islands? The Cape Verde islands,
where the Spanish fleet modified, and
the Dry Tortugas where our own fleet
collected. preparatory to the search
for Cervera and the bombardment OF
Santiago de Cuba, are now familiar
names.
During the past year we have had in
teresting news from Alaska, Armenia,
Japan, China, India, Greece and Tur-
key. In these troublous times, a
knowledge Of the geographical forma-
ton Of the countries Of the globe, their
colonies, and the location OF the chief
towns and rivers Is indispensable to
one who would read his daily paper In
diligently.
Appreciating the great usefulness OF
accurate and clear maps IN studying
the various phases Of the war, The Re-
publican has arranged with Rand, Nc
Nally & Co., OF Chicago. for the new
Standard War Atlas. The Atlas con-
tains sixteen pages of the latest and
best wal maps published, comprising
four double-page maps (21x2s inches)
Of the World, North America, Europe
oAo LUZ Pd6C Aldpo
(14x21 inches) OF Cuba, the West In
dies. South America, China, Spain and
Portugal, Asia, Africa and the Philip
pine and Hawaiian islands. Enlarged
sections show ports Matanzas, Santi-
ago de Cuba, San Juan and Cienfue-
gos; also Cardenas and Santa Clara
bays. They are beautifully printed on
heavy map paper, and bound in an at
t~ractive paper v
This atlas should not be confounded
with the mere cheap aliases sold
at the stores. 1t is entirely new, and
can be obtained only from The Re-
publican or its regular agents.
Every reader Is recommended to
procure one at once, and thus be able
to watch the strategic movements Of
our army and navy from the vantage
point Of knowledge.
The Atlas will be given free with each
prepaid six months subscription to the
Daily Republican, or will be sold for
so cents per copy.
