The Treaty Taken Up
By The Corte'
long Discussion Ends In Matter
Being Unsettled

Special Cabiegram to Boletin Mercantil1
New York, March l4th. Gable
advices received in this city from
Madrid declare that long session
of the Cortes was held yesterday
afternoon in that city, in which the
question of the treaty between the
United States and Spain was taken
up at great length. There is much
opposition in the Cortes to various
proposed clauses of the treaty, and
this led 10 some bitter alterations
amongst the members.
The Minister of Sta.e, the Duke
Of Almodoyar who favors the treaty
s ased that the matter could not be
finally settled at the present session
which closed yes'erday and he v as
therefore compelled 10 withdraw it
from the consideration Of the Oortes.
This means that the treaty Cannot
be finally settled until next j ear
when the Cortes meets again.

The Experiment With Porto Rico

Probably the most interesting contact oi
Anglo Saxon with Spanish law since the
requirement of our oversee possessions has
just been illustrated by the report Of the
commission to revise and compile the laws
of Porto Rico. The report Was submitted
yesterday to the attorney general at Wash
ingtou, and ia an elaborate comment on the
Spanish system and on the changes propos.
ed by the commission. The case of Porto
Rico has some important differences as
compared with that Of Cuba. As our oc'
cupatlon of Cuba was not expected to be
permanent, the changes in its laws were
such as to insure better immediate admi
nistration of criminal justice and prevent
political abuses which were facilitated by
che Spanish law; but 10 Porto Rico the
commission has been dealing with people
and territory brought under the American
system and which must in part conform
permanently to it. The changes made are,
therefore, such as will put American poll
teal and legal ideas into practice as far Of
possible.
The most important political change il
for the centralized control under Spanish
rule. The township and village, city and
county organization, each with its local
initiative, js to succeed che old Spanish
''municipio," or division, which was govern.
ed by an official responsible only to the gov.
ernor Of the island. This would seem too
venturesome step for q people who have
been trained, under the srbitrary rigors or
Spanish rule; but needed spur to the exer-
else of these lacal government functions is
supplied. The insuiar government ia en-
powered to require and enforce certain
standard of efficiency to be attained by the
local authorities, aud if the latter fall below
that standard they will be dealt with accord.
ingly. We have thus given the Porto
Ricsns local government upon condition
which will prevent its hurtful exercise.
Among the legal changes Fenceforth to
be permsn ant in the island are the habeas
corpus act, marriage and divorces laws
modelled upon those of Massachusetts and
New York, and laws similar to our own for
the disposition Of property. Codes Of Grim
insl and civil procedure are yet to be prep
sred.
The recommendations of the commission
may therefore be described as an attempt TO
graft the American upon Spanish system
with the view OF ultimately preparing the
new territory for statehood. How long
