Paris. Dec. 3-From information re-
ceived from a we'll authenticated source
1t seems unlikely that the commissions
will finish their work as soon as had
been expected. 1t is probable that the
negotiations will last considerably
longer.
Madrid has instructed the commits
sioners on three points, to which the
Americans attach much Importance.
These are the cession of an island in the
Carolines the granting Of religious free
dom over the whole Of the Carolines
and the cession Of a cable and coaling
station at Ceuta.
The Spanish government has instruct
ed Senior Montero Rios to grant none
OF these, and, while Spain may ulti-
mately yield them all, it is admitted
that the American commissioners have
no power to enforce their demands on
points not covered by the protocol. Be-
fore Spain does yield, the negotiations
are likely to be prolonged, and the Unit
tial quid pro quo.

HE BET ON CERVERA
And Now Wants to Recover Under q
Time Limit

An echo of the late war was heard in
Justice Morrisons court yesterday. A
civil suit over the payment of bet on the
destruction of the Cape Verde fleet was the
cause for the reminiscence. On May 8th,
shortly after the defeat of the Spanish
fleet at Manila bay, and the departure of
the Cape Verde fleet for this hemisphere,
James Bradley and several other people
were in S. d. Clark's cigar stand on San
Fernando street discussing the merits of
the navies of the respective countries.
Bradley is very patriotic and he was loud
in his claims of American superiority. j. X.
Norman happened to enter the store about
this time and he; naturally, entered into
the discussion. Norman was not so san
guine as Brady, and thought that the
Americans had a very hard game before
them. Bradley testified that Norman had
said the American gunners could not hit
anything and the American boats were no
good. This angered Bradley, for he offered
to bet Norman $40 to IS that Sampson
would wipe the Spanish feet off the seas
when they came together. Four to one
was liberal odds on such an uncertain thing
as war, so Norman accepted the offer, and
the men deposited their money in the hands
of Clark.
1t appears that Norman claimed that
u me limit had been placed on the bet,
Sampson being given thirty days in which
to whip the Spaniards, so some days after
this period of time had elapsed Norman
told Clark that he had won the bet, but as
Bradley was such "kicker" he would be
satisfied to allow each person to draw down
his share of the stake. Clark declined to
give him the money, and when the destruc-
tion of Cerveras feet was positively cor
roborated Clark turned the S25 over to John
Griffin, the yardmaster of the Southern
Pacific at River station, with the request
that he hand the money to Bradley, which
was DONE Norman did not feel satisfied,
and brought suit for S25 and costs against
Clark. A number of witnesses were exam
ined and the court gave verdict for the
defendant

tion on condition that the meeting is held in
