Will Be Needed Upon Renewal of
Diplomatic Relations.
COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS With SPAIN
No Bearing on Them in the Peace
Treaty.
E X P Z r IENCE EEDED

Immediately after the renewal Of dIplo-
matte relations between the United States
and Spain It will become necessary TO ne
gotiate a complete line of treaties or a
treaty dealing with all matters pertaining
to the intercourse between the two GOV
ernments. 1t is usual in negotiating a
treaty of peace between two countries Just
emerging from a war to include provisions
by revival of old treaties for renewal of
commercial intercourse. This was not done
in the peace treaty negotiated at Paris by
which the war with Spain was concluded,
the reason for the omission being that the
old treaties which had been negotiated
from time TO time between Spain and the
United States wera not applicable to the
new conditions. The old treaties were not
desired by either the Spanish or the Amer
ican commissioners, and it was not deemed
wisa, therefore, to go into the subject at
all. Consequently, the only commercial
agreement existing between the United
States and Spain is that provision in the
peace treaty that Spanish vessels shall for
certain term Of years be given the same
privileges in the Philippine ports as may
be accorded the American merchant ves-
sells.
Character Of negotiations.
The most important need of this govern
nent formerly in making treaties with
Spain TO provide for the fair treat
ment of American citizens engaged in COM
merce or trade in Cuba and Porto Rico.
The old treaties of commerce and naviga-
ton had application particularly TO this
subject, and did not fit conditions now
existing. The difficulty in dealing with
Spain was on account of this island trade.
This difficulty being now removed, the ne
gotiaion of new treaties will probably be
speedily and Aasily accomplished. A lot of
old claims, treaties and obsolete provisions
OF the old treaties will be cleared away by
the negotiation of new treaties, instead Of
reNiVinS the old Instruments, and all COM
pIlcauons over tonnage dues will he re-
moved by the fact Of Spain's loss of Porto
Rico and Cuba. In addition to the ques-
uons of commerce and navigation, provis-
ions viii have to be made for eNtradition,
judicial procedure, trade marks and COPY
rights.
sherman Was to Have Charge.
There was some time ago talk of calling
Upon eN-Secretary sherman to take charge
of the negotiation of the new treaties as
the representative Of this government This
was at Il time when his health WAS good
and il felt that mis- familiarity with
commercial matters wCuld be of great scrv-
ice, and, at the same time, that he might
have some pride in closing his public ca
reer with his distinguished duty. His
serious Illness removes him from consider
alton in connection with this work since
II he RECEIVERS he Will hardly feel for some
time like Undertaking such eXacting work.

He says it is a matter Of daily occurrence
that IN different parts of the island pro-
ceedings are taken against those who be-
longed to guerrilla and other Spanish forces
during the war for crimes imputed to have
been committed at that time. Cuba's
peace, Senior Lanuza adds, requires that
tkis be stopped.
Fears the Abuse VIII Grow,
Continuing, he says: IF We open the
door to such accusations we should soon
have series of actions against Cuban
leaders and resident Spanish soldiers, which
would constitute a continuation of the war,
but with other arms. The Cuban army.

and seized food and clothing. The Span

not now be prosecuted in the courts for
actions committed in wartime. Cuba must
forget the past. Such prosecutions disturb

should he handled at the root, by ordering
them to cease all prosecutions
GEN. Brooke Orders Practice Stopped.
Following the suggestion contained in
Senior Lanuza's letter. Gov. Gen. Brooke
will issue a decree to the effect that the
civil and military judges must not recognize
and must dismiss all present and pending
actions against troops in the field for or

Will order the immediate release of all men
