RECIPROCITY TREATY.
Senor Quesada and Secretary Hill
Prepare a Plan.

ny Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Washington, June 26.-Senor Quesada,
the Cuban minister, and Acting Secrc-
tary Hill were engaged today in going
over the basis of il reciprocity treaty
between the United States and Cuba.
The matter has progressed to the point
where it has been possible to draft the
convention, and it would be easy TO
complete it and reduce ii to the final
form in which it would go TO the sem
ate, in Il very short time. This is ac-
counted for by the fact that no sub
stantial points of difference between
the negotiators have developed. 1t is
understood that the war department
was consulted in the early stages of the
matter.
These negotiations do not signify
that it is the intention to submit a reci-
procity treaty to the senate at the
present session, though the Cuban min
lister has professed his willingness and
ability, If the thing We're desired, to
secure promptly from his government
the exceptional and extraordinary pow
ers that would be needed to enable him
to conclude the treaty, and the admin
istration regards as a wise precaution
to have treaty all prepared and ready
for immediate ratification. The state
department Is carefully protecting the
details of the schedules as they are so
far embodied in the treaty, but ii is be-
lieved that they are very similar to the
Items set out in the pending Cuban
reciprocity bill.

Tells Senate Inside Facts of Manila's
Surrender,

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Washington, June 26.--Admiral Dewey
testified before the senate committee on
the Philippines today concerning the
early operations at Manila, when he
was in command of the American naval
forces in Philippine waters. The ad-
miral contributed an important addition
to the history of the surrender of the
city of Manila, 1t consisted of a posi-
tive assertion by the admiral to the
effect that the city had been actually
surrendered to him at the time that the
Spanish fleet was sunk. and that when
the city did nomnally surrender, it was
in pursuance of a definite understand
ing between himself and the Spanish
governor general,
The admiral was questioned by Sena-
tor Lodge. He said he had first heard
from Aguinaldo and his friends about
April !, 1898, a month before the battle
i'm Manila bay, when 1t became certain
that there was to be war.
II then heard that there were Il num-
ber of Filipinos who desired to accom-
pany the fleet TO Manila" he continued
"All of them were young and earnest.

them or to what they said. The day
before we left Hong Kong / received Il

aldo was at Singapore and would join

boys also sang well in the closing Choir
us. The accompanies also deserve
special mention for their part Of the en-
tertainment which added much to the
pleasure of the evening.
The closing chorus of the children
was given in the cantata, THE Druid
Priestess," and this number was well
presented. The scene is laid near the
Welsh border. about the middle of the
fifth century, when Druidism was fast
giving way to Christianity. The differ
ent characters were assumed by Mabel
Mullen, Margaret Gilroy, Regina Nc
Dermott. Lizzie McCaffrey, Marie
Reese, Sadie Arthurs. Margaret Flem-
ing, and Mary Gilroy, and the choruses
were sustained by the senior and jun
ior pupils.
The closing number was the ensemble
of the graduating class, and the recita-
ton of the class poem by Miss Regina
McDermott, after which Father Whel-
an offered his blessing to each one. He
said:
"This Is the closing act in the siX-
teenth annual commencement of st.
Patrick's Parochial school. and while
all were good this was perhaps the
pest OIL all. IL is W s''S ''
many people here who are interested
in the cause Of education. not alone the
parents but also friends of the grad
yates. Education Is the, great weapon
we use through life to fight the battles
which confront us. and especially III
this age, when we not only battle FOR
existence but must fight to keep away
those influences which tend to demor-
alize us. Education is a weapon to use
under all circumstances, and those VINO
receive it cannot throw it away. but
must use 1t to the best advantage"
The members of the graduating class
are as follows: Classical course-+Ar-
thur De Ayala. Margaret Gilroy. Mabel
Mullen. Regina McDermott. Marie
Reese. Elizabeth McCaffrey, Sadie Ar
thurs. James McHugh. Margaret Flem-
ing, Mary Gilroy, Frances McHale.
Commercial course-Agnes Casey,

leen Johnson, John Gilroy. The Misses

The basement of ST. Patrlck's church
was filled to overnowing last evening
with the parents. relatives and friends
of the graduating class of st. Patrick 8
raYochial school, where the annual
commencement exercises were held.
The stage was elaborately decorated
with ferns, pink, white and green bunt-
ing, and flags, with a. background OF
Set scenery, which, with the pretty
gowns worn by the participants, made
an exceedingly pretty stage effect. The
scene was enhanced by a number Of In
candescent lights arranged about the
stage.
The exercises began at 7.30 o'clock,
with O selection by the school orchestra,
in which a number of clever young
musicians took part. The salutatory
address was given by Master Arthur
DeAyala, in which he extended a well
come greeting to all, and asked for
the indulgence of the assembly in the
exercises of the evening, and their
sympathy ard help in the future life
of the class. His effort was well re-
ceived, and ELECTED much applause.
Rev. j. b. Whelan, pastor of the
church, then conferred the honors on
the graduates and a number of others
who had merited recognition for pro-
flciency in their respective studies and
department. He said that the small
tokens meant much to the children,
who will cherish them dearly all
through life.
= The promenade Of dudes and ped
dlers, enacted by about a hundred little
boys, in costume, was pleasing feature
and showed careful training on the
part of the sisters Of the school.
Probably the best event Of the evening
and which was most enjoyed by all,
was "Red Riding Hoods Rescue" in
which Miss Carmel F'ahey acted the
part of the little heroine.
She was ably sustained by large
chorus of children in costume, and by
Mary Gilroy, James McHugh, James
McAuliffe. and others, who assumed
speaking parts in the dialogue. The
singing was really a surprise, where
so many children were assembled and
the music was tuneful and catchy. This
was followed by a violin solo, played
by Master Frank Ntzhugh,, who dis
played much talent for one so young.
Another pleasing feature was the
sword drill by hundred or more boys.
