WASHINGTON, D. c., April 11.-Just
one year to a day after President Nc
kinley took the first official steps in the
war with Spain, there was o formal
exchange between the two nations OF
the treaty of peace. The Presidents
action referred to was the sending of a
message to Congress, in which he ask
ed authority to intervene In Cuba for
the purpose OF stopping the conflict
there between the islanders and the
mother country. The message reach
ed Congress April II, 1885, The proc

peace treaty was Issued to-day, and
now the government will have 10 dis
pose OF the problem involved In the ex-
piration ofthe terms Of enlistment OF the
volunteers yet in service. These men,
with those already mustered out, en-
listed for the war-that is to say, should
the war terminate before the expiration
of two years. they were to be nbsolved
thereby from further duty.
There are about $4,000 volunteers In

They may be given the same amount

OF travel pay on their return to the
United States. including the trip by sea
and by rail- to the places where the men
severnlly enlisted. At the same time,
those who may desire to return at once
may be permitted to do so. In case
any considerable number of any reGI-

to come home, they will be mustered
out as such organlzation,t those re-

In Senator Quay's Trial, Which, If De.
cidcd in His Favor, will Result In
the Collapse OF the Common.
wcalth's Case.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April lin
the trial OF ex-senator Quay to-day his
lawyers began what Is regarded as the
all-important contention in their fight
for his acquittal, namely, that the
books of the broken Peoples bank are
not competent testimony against the
accused man and therefore should not
be admitted In evidence. On the deci-
sion of this point rests the entire fab
rlc OF the prosecutions case. Should
Judge Biddle decide the point well ta-
ken, the commonwealth's case Will
necessarily collapse.
In order to secure the most effective
presentation Of this phase OF the de-
fense. Mr.. Quay brought to his aid the
skill OF David T. Watson, OF Pittsburgh.
one OF the ablest attorneys In Pennsyl-
vania and ranking, in fact, with the
best In the country. Mr. Watson spoke
on his subject for nearly two hours this
afternoon and had the almost breath
less attention of room filed with the
legal lights of the local and state bar.
Many OF these lawyers expressed the
opinion that Mr.. Watson made very
strong argument. What Its effect will
be upon the Judge remains to be seen.
The district attorney opened the pro-
ceedings In this phase of the case by
Offering In evidence the books OF the
bank extending over n number OF years
and along with them the account books,
letter press book and letters from Sen
ator Quay and State Treasurer Hay
wood found In the desk of Cashier Hop
kins after that official had committed
suicide. He read q long summary OF
what the books and papers showed and
what he expected to prove by them, to
wit. that through conspiracy with
Cashier Hopkins, State Treasurer Hay
wood and other state treasurcrs and
possibly other officials of the bank. Sem
ator Quay used certain fixed amount
OF state money deposited in the institu-
tion and received interest on another
liked portion Of the state deposit.
Some Now Matter.
Much OF the evidence offered by the
district attorney was brought out at the
preliminary hearing on October s last.
There was some new matter, however
dealing principally with the amount OF
money loaned by the bank to Mr.. Quay,
and during the past twelve or fourteen
years the amount paid to him and other
state treasurers as interest on state de-
poslts.
Mr.. Watson cOntended that the mere
fact that bank clerks. with no personal
KNOWLEDGE or the truth OF what they
were writing, entered certain figures IN
resent interest paid to Senator Quay,

MANILA, April 11.-At about mid
night the rebels cut the telegraph lines
ut several places between here and Ma
lolos and signal fires were lighted and
rockets sent up along the foothills to
the right Of the railroad. Later the
enemy attacked the outposts OF the
Minnesota regiment between Bignaa
and Bocave, five miles south of Malo-
los, killing two men and wounding four
teen.
simultaneously the outposts Of the
Oregon regiment, at Marllao, the next
station on the way to Manila. were at
tucked with the result that three Amer
leans were killed and two were wound
cd. The loss CT the enemy was ten men
killed and six wounded. The Americans
also captured two prisoners.

railroad as thIckly Us possible. and the
rebels were driven back to the foot
hills.
The roadbed Of the railroad was dam
nged. but It was repaired almost imme-
dately ard traffic was soon resumed
through to Malolos.
1t is supposed that many of the reb-
els who attacked General MacArthurs
line Of communication, and who were
repulsed by the troops commanded by
General Wheaton, were natives who
entered that region In the guIse of
frlendliness. They had seemingly Sc
creted arms In several places and fired
on the Americans from the bushes at so
close range that they could be heard
talking. One OF the Filipinos yelled in
English:
We will give you ID Americans
enough Of this before we are through"

at Marlao and unspiked the rails In
IN effort TO wreck n train while the

and repaired before n train arrived.

CABINET MEETING.
Credit Extensions in Cuba Discussed
Payment Of S2o,oOO,OOO Due

Credit Extensions in Cuba Discussed
Payment of S2o,oOo,O0O Due
Spain.
WASAHINGTON,Aprll 1.-THE prln-
cipal subject of discussion at to-day's
cabinet meeting was an elaborate plan
of credit extensions IL, Cuba, which has
been presented by Genera, Brook. and
his cabinet council. The proposed plan
Of mortgage extensions involves pay
ments in instruments covering periods
OF varying length up to six years. and
is intended to place creditors beyond
the reach of foreclosure proceedings
until they can, to some extent at least.
recoup their fortunes.
1t Is admitted that the authorized
peremptory foreclosure proceedings
against all property covered by mort
gage would result in bankruptcy to n
large percentage OF the Cuban property
owners, and 1t Is not the intention of
this government to precipitate such a
condition by authorizing creditors to
proceed to foreclose at once. The plan,
however. does not meet with the ap-
provai OF the attorney general or the
President, but just what Will be done
In the matter has not yet been decided.
1t Is argued that this government could
not assume to determine when obliga-
tions must be paid. and especially as
the time suggested coveres period of
six years. 1t seems likely. however.
that further extensions may be granted
and possibly 4 satisfactory plan may be
evolved.
The subject Of the method Of pay
ment of the so0,000,00O due to Spain un-
der the treaty was also discussed. and
It was decided to pay the amount by
draft on New York to be delivered to
whoever the Spanish government Au-
thorlzes to receive 1t. No designation,
hnweYer has vet been made.
