TIE TREATY WITH SPAIN.
A Bill for Carrying Ont Its Terms
Passed by the senate.


At . O'Clock the unfinished business
the Porto Rican bill-was temporarily laid
aside and the Senate took up the bill to
provide for carrying into effect the stipu-
lations OF Article VII of the treaty between
the United States and Spain. The bill
provides for the appointment by the Presi-
dent of three commissioners to receive,
examine, and adjudcate all claims of citi-
which this Government agreed 10 adjudi-
cate and settle. An annual appropriation
OF 900 is carried by the bill. for the
expenses of the commission which is to
remain in existence for two years In
reply to a question by Mr. Hoar, as to
what the probable nature of the claims
presented under the bill would be- AIr
Davis. who has it in charge, said that
quite naturally they would be varied in
character. He thought a large number
of them would relate to the destruction
of property belonging to American citizens
in Cuba
Are there any claims. asked Mr.. HOar,
"for the destruction OF vessels?"
None that | know of replied Mr..
Davis. He then went on to explain that
numerous claims will. OF course, relate
to personal wrongs suffered by American
citizens. Notable among such personal
wrongs were those suffered by Mrs Ruiz,
whose husband-a dentist in Philadelphia
was cruelty tortured and murdered in
Cuba Mr.. Davis said great care had been
exercised in framing the bill because of

the men in the bull pen. He had refused 20
make known the names of those against
whom he had indictments.
Was this not a denial of the constitu-
tional rights of those men in the bull
pen?"
They were held by the State authorities
and l was not ready for trial"
But even though you were not ready
to proceed to trial you not only refused
20 make known the names of those pris-
oners against whom indictments had been
found. but would not accept bail for the
appearance of the men as provided in tho
Constitution"
The witness avoided a direct answer. but
the fact stood out that anybody whom the
soldiers thought fit to arrest was thrown
into the bull pen. and languished there
for several months without the right of
tria,-without the right to furnish bail,
and without being able to find out whether
he was even indicted. One OF the leading
reasons for this. which Forney gave, was,

these measures authorizes and directs tie

bill requires the company to extend its
double tracks with the underground cleo

cial provisions no cars may be switched

years from the passage Of the act. Before
this extension shall be constructed CO.
lumbia Road and the present Sixteenth
Street are to be widened to not less than
eighty feet, as the Commissioners may
consider advisable, and the extensions are
to be made within one year after the
highways are widened as required herein.
The bill also provides that the operation
of cars of the Metropolitan Railroad
within the Capitol Grounds shall be under
the control OF the Architect Of the Capitol
Not less than one-half of the damages
awarded for the condemnation of land are
to be assessed against land lying on each
side Of those portions Of Sixteenth Street
and Columbia Avenue, that are to be
widened and extended to depth of $50
feet II a part only OF any piece of
ground is condemned the jury is not to
take into consideration any benefits that
may accrue to the remainder thereof from
the widening, but such benefits must be
considered in determining what assess
ments shall be made ON or against such
part OF the land as may not be taken.
Mr.. Mcmillan also introduced bill to
regulate the transportation of prisoners.
and to provide a separate court for chill
dren in the District of Columbia. The
bill provides that prisoners or witnesses

trials of children under sixteen years of
age, or trials affecting the persons of such
children. shall be held at times separate
and apart from the trial of other cases, and
that the District Commissioners shall pro-
vide a suitable place Of detention for such
children, and the witnesses in their cases,
which place shall be convenient to the
place of holding the courts. The bill car

thoroughly protect the interests of the
Government. He expressed the belief that
substantially all of the claims had already
been filed with the State Department and
they aggregated about s20.00o 600
An amendment proposed by Mr.. Hoar
was agreed to extending tho time for fling
claims with the commission from six
months to one year after the organization
of the commission.
On motion OF Mr. CockreH. the provision
of the bill that claimants shall have the
right of appeal both TO the United States
and to the Supreme Court of the United
States was stricken out. only one appeal
being thus provided for from a finding Of
the commission, viz, to the United States
Court Of Appeals. As amended the bill
was then passed without division.
