OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED.
A I'M bassador Cambon Reports Spain's
Ratification of the Treaty.


NJ Cambon. the French ambassador, call
ed at the Department of State this morning
to serve formal notice to the Secretary Of
State in person of the signature of the
peace treaty at Madrid. Secretary Hay has
indicated his preference that NJ. Cambon
shall act as the agent for the Spanish gov
ernment in the final exchange of ratifica-
tions.
Official notification of the signature of
the peace treaty by the queen regent was
not received at the State Department until
just before the close of the department yes
terday. NJ. Cambon. the French ambassa-
dor. called at the department about ten
minutes to 4 o'clock, and in the absence of
Secretary Hay called upon Assistant Sec
retary Hill. He told the latter that the
treaty had been signed. 1t seems now
probable that to the ambassador Will De
confided the honor of closing up the task
which he set about seven months ago of
bringing two great nations then at war
T. a state of peace Usually the rule is for
nation situated as is Spain to send
special envoy charged with the duty of
exchanging the ratification. In this case
the wish of the United States government
will be consulted. and there is little doubt
in view of the kind regard entertained Tor
the ambassador by the President that he
will indOrse the proposition of the Spanish
government to have NJ Cambnn act as
the representative Of the Spanish govern
ment and make the exchange. A good
reason also for accepting again the ambas-
sador's offices in this last function would
be the saving of time.
1t is presumed that the Spanish govern
rnent is desirous to hasten the complete
restoration of peace. and this government
is certainly equally anxious. so that # time
can be saved by accepting the services of
the ambassador here. instead of awaiting
tht. selection and coming Of one from Mad
rio that course is likely to be pursued.
