Madrid, March 1.-THE quesn-regent
has s~igned'the treaty of peace between
Spain and the United States. The
signed treaty will be forwarded 10 the
French ambassador at Washington,
M. Jules Cambon, for exchange with
the one signed by President Mckinley.
No decree on the subject will be pub
lished in the official gazette.
Washington, March 1.-THE first
news of the signing of the peace treaty
by the queen-regent Of Spain, was con-
veyed to Secretary Hay and the officials
of the administration through the ex-
elusive bulletin of the Associated
Press. The secretary was naturally
gratified at the action, which now
makes 1t possible to exchange the
~ratifications, and thus complete the
treaty, within the time set by the treaty
itself as the maximum.
Official news of the action at Madrid
was not conveyed to the state depart
ment before the close of the department
for the day. M. Cambon called at the
department about $3.50 o'clock and in
the absence of Secretary Hay, called
upon Assistant Secretary Hill. De
| told the latter that he believed the
treaty had been signed. 1t seems now
| probable that to the ambassador will
be confided the honor Of closing up the
task he set about seven months ago
of bringing two great nations then at
war to a state of peace. Usually the
| rule is for a nation situated as Is Spain
to send a special envoy charged with
the special duty OF exchanging the rat
iications. In this case the wish OF the
United States government will be con-
suited and there Is little doubt In view
of the kindly regard entertained for the
ambassador by the president that he
will elect TO have M. Cambon act for
the last time rs the representative OF
the Spanish government and make the
exchange.
A good reason also for accepting
again the ambassadors offices In this
last function would be the saving OF
time. The signing Of the treaty can
not In any manner affect the status a
the Spanish prisoners in the hands or
Aguinaldo for the United States gov
eminent Is doing all 1t can to ecure
their release.
Contrary TO An expectation that
seemed to have obtained In some quar-
ters, the signature OF the treaty today
does not involve the immediate dis
charge of all the volunteer soldiers. IL
was stated positively at the state de
partment that legally the treaty does
not 60 into effect until the ratiacations
hive been exchanged and IL will fur
Their be necessary for the president TO
proclaim 1t. before the people OF the
United States, including the soldiers,
can kno-- officially that the war IL over.
In all other respects, however. the
st-te department will treat the war az
at an end.

A Cablegram From Otis, Not Made Pub
Hc-Sald to Indicate Early Collapse of
Insurgent Opposition to Our Occupa-
ton

Washington, March 17.-There was
much reticence shown at the war de-
partment today 10 discuss a cable dis
patch from General Otis which was re-
garded as most important by those who
read it, as indicating that hostilities
might cease very suddenly in the Phil
ippines and a collapse of the insurrec-
ton come to at any time.
The reasons for the belief of General
Otis that a climax might come at any
ton was based on the favorable re-
ports he had received from various
sources that the Philippines were tired
of war and Aguinaldo's leadership. It
is believed at the war department hat
the method in which the Americans
have conducted the fighting has done
much to convince the Philippines of the
uselessness of trying to drive out the
United States forces. The fighting has
been of a different character from that
to which they were accustomed when
the Spanish were in possession of Ma
Mia.
General Otis cable has caused a great
deal Of qualification. 1t was sent to
the president at Townsville, Ga. The
preparations that have been under way
to sem further troops and supplies to
the Philippines have not been curtailed
however. Light batteries which Cen
eral Otis requested in the cable Of last
night will be sent, as they may be use
full in future operations and in case of
disturbances in distant parts of the is
land.

HISTORY OF WINDSOR HOTEL.
The Windsor hotel was one of the
most comfortable and attractive hotels
to be found anywhere. It was seven
stories high and almost square in form,
had a frontage of 200 feet on Fifth
avenu n occupied the entire block
between East Forty-sixth and Forty
seventh streets. The front centre OF
the DullulnS was eight stories in
height. It had also, two wings, each
seven stories in height and seventy
five feet in length. There were more
than 500 rooms in the hotel. The build
ing was chiefly of brick, and was arch
i~tecturally simple. 1t was thoroughly
equipped for fighting fire, and had
pumps equal in force to six of themost
powerful FIRE engines in the city. 1t
cost about $685. 600 to build.
The Windsor's builder and first own
er was John r. DAILY, and the building
was first opened as a hotel in Septem-
Der, 1873.

With characteristic energy Mr.. How
ard went to work to bring practical help
to the desolated territory. He first made
public his plan In magazine article.
and an initiative meeting was held in
Plymouth church by DR.. Lyman Abbott.
Committees were formed, and the plan
Of the Cuban industrial relief fund was

to do no more than keep them alive I'M
ill., private philanthropy enables them
to take care of themselves. e.
1t is the opinion of many people who
have studied this phase Of the Cuban
question that there is just, one way Of
permanently redeeming Cuba from it's
present condition of destitution and
suffering. =, That way is not to give the
people free soup and old clothes until
they become hopelessly pauperized, but
to give them work. The plan of the Gu
ban industrial relief fund is to help the
poor to help themselves. It is as follows:
First. To provide Immediate en-
ployment for the ;ablebodied and idle
poor by blishing relief farms under
the superintendent Of capable Ameri-
can farmers. Ordinary food crops will
be grown on these farms and sold in the
best available market The proceeds
will be, returned to the fund. to be used
over again in the same way. =
! Second. To advance as loans to
small; landowners sufficient work oxen,
agricultural implements, seed and food
supplies to enable them to resume the
cultivation Of their farms. The ad-

vances thus made will be repaid. The
money will then be used to help other
farmers. The rehabilitation Of these
desolated farms will give employment
to idle farm laborers who are now de-
pendent upon charity.
When no further help Of this kind is
needed in Cuba, the funds remaining
on hand will be returned to the sub
scribers or disposed Of as they may d.
rect. it, t.
The Cuban industrial relief funds
plan for caring for orphans is simple
and inexpensive. Instead Of spending
great sums of money in building Or
phanages and maintaining large num-
bers Of salaried attendants, homes in
good Cuban families will be found az
quickly az possible for the children.
As a part Of this plan, each farmer
who is helped return to the cultivation
Of his land will be required to receive
into bis family one or more orphans, to
be cared for as his own children.
OF course. the children are always
under supervision. As for the widows.
