sFNCG ,ABARZUZA IS SATISFIED.
NEW YORK. Dec. s.-A dispatch to
the World from Paris says;
"a final. definitive treaty OF peace. con-
tanning Il articles. has been agreed up
on. said senor Abarzuza, Of the Spanish
commission.
''It has been ordered drawn and en-
crossed on parchment in duplicate and
will be signed by the ouai D'Aorsay,
CFrench foreign minister, where the
peace commissioners have meD on Satur-
day. or, at the latest, on Monday.
''The Americans accepted certain mod
ifications proposed by us. and we accepted
certain m1difcations proposed by them.
Among the former is one proposition by
me that should American occupation Of
Cuba cease and a new Cuban govern
ment be set up, America would advise
that the new Cuban government shall
accept all OF Cuba's present treaty OBJ
legations and those incurred in the in
terim.
Except in the clauses relating to the
philippines, the treaty contains no inn
portant stipulation. For ten years equal
privileges there for Spain may be grant
ed: and likewise to all other nations, but
for that period they cannot be taken
away from Spain. l do not expect that
the treaty will be well received in Spain.
where the recent discussion of the Maine
incident has again reused popular in
dignation,"
Judge Day. the president of the United
States commission. says the treaty will
be a secret document until it reaches
President Mckinley and the senate. but
he adds
THE conclusion Of pea,e by treaty
was very gratifying thing. Failure in
respect of It would have been misfor-
tune for both countries"

ARTICLES OF THE TREATY

PARIS, Dec. 9.--Rios, president r the
Spanish peace commission. and o1ede. the
secretary. are still confined 20 their beds.
The illness OF oteda delays the engrOss-
ing OF the treaty. and II Is doubtful
whether II viii be signed before Monday.
The Americans held the usual session
this morning. The spanIards continue
making bitter comments concerning Pres
ident McKlnley's reference to the Maine
The spaniaFds made last contribution
in the recent assembling OF the commits
sions, when Rios presented a vigorously
worded protest in which the spaniards
declared they had yielded TO force, but
they invoked the conscience OF the na-
tions against the abuse Of the rights OF
nation. OF which they were the VIC
Tins. The protest was for the purpose
Of record. and consisted OF an argument
In support OF every concession demanded
by the Spaniaris and which the Ameri-
cans refused. The protest concludes:
But these concessions which we were
obliged to make touches US less than the
insult which has been inflicted on our
nation by President Mckinley in his mes
sage. We again protest against the accu-
saaon buried at US in regard to the
Maine, and we intend to again submit
the matter TO an international tribunal,
composed OF England, France and Ger
many, 10 determine who shall bear the re-
spOnsibIllty for the catastrophe"
In spite Of the secrecy observed by the
Americans. Il is learned that the treaty
in, substance consists OF 10 or Il articles.
The principal articles provide for the ces-
sion and evacuation OF Cuba. Porto Rico
and the Philippine Islands. an dthe po-
litlcal. administrative and financial re-
suits thereof. and acquisition by tne
United States Of public property and re-
linquishment OF the archleves.
Articles Of secondary importance deter
mine the status OF Spanish subjects resid-
ing In the ceded territory and unfinished
lawsuits and contracts, guarantees Of the
same terms 10 spanish shipping and mer-
chandlse and American shipping ami IasS-
chandise In the Philippines for 10 years
and leaving the status OF Spanish CON-
meree in the West Indies to be settled
later An important provision is a guar
antee Of religious freedom in the ceded
territory.
