TREATY OF PARIS, 1898


After all, 1t took four months after
the signing of the armistlce to sign a
treaty with Spain after the Spanish
war. And that was a comparatively
simple affair with only two nations In
volved. The protocol. or amistice,
was signed on August II, 1893, and
the treaty signed on December 10
four months lacking two days from
the ceasing OF hostilities. The treaty
was not ratified by the senate until
April IL Of 1899. So, theoretically. we
were Mt war with Spain for year
lacking IA few days. although actual mil
itary operations did not last many
days over three months.
The principal events of the Spanish
American war most people remember.
War was declared by Spain on April
"a and by the United States on April
%. There was a curious little exhi-
bition Of "Castilian pride" about that.
Spain learned on April "a that the
United States was going TO declare war
the next day and promptly declared II
herself. Another interesting point Is
that the United States began the
blockade of part only of the Cuban
coast at first and began II two days
before Spain declared war and three
days before we declared II. And the
American proclamation of war was
made retroactive to April q. Dewey
entered Manila bay May and de-
stroyed the Spanish feet there.
Cervera's fleet got into Santiago on
May 10, where It was bottled up by
the fleet under Sampson and Schley-
Sampson being senior officer. The
American expedition landed at Dial
quiri June 20-22. and the battles of FL
Caney and San Juan Hill took place
on July IL. On July the Spanish
feet attempted 10 escape and was de-
stroyed IN the naval battle of Santl-
ago. Santiago surrendered on July
II and the campaign in Porto Rico be-
gan on July %. and was in progress at
the signing Of the armlstice. Manila
was captured ON August 10, the day
after the protocol was signed. Ma
Mia had been practically at TIE mercy
Of the Americans since the May morn

Spanish fleet. Ii had been only n
question of getting American troops

FAMOUS
PEACE TREATIES
TREATY OF ST. PETERSBURG, ,772.

BY II. IRVING KING

Poland having been taken off the
map by treaty. Is now to be put
back again by another treaty. In the
latter part Of the fourteenth century
Poland was the dominant power in east
ern Europe. Her dominion extended
from the I,altic to the Dnieper and
pressed down upon Austria to the
south, while Red Russia. White Rus
ha, Black Russia and the Ukraine
were hers. Prussia was little state
huddled up In n corner on the Baltic.
and surrounded on the other sides by
Poland. Courland and I.ivonia were
Polish provinces. The Prussians or
BOrussians. were an idolntrous tribe
who INDUCED In human sacrifices and
Poland called In the Teutonic knights
to subdue them.
The Teutonic knights subdued the
Borussians. but they turned Prussia
into u militant little state which be-
gan at once wars TO increase Its ter
ritory. Hohenzollcrn had himself
elected head OF the Teutonlc knights
and thus began the house NJ Hohen-
zollern, and that power destined to
have such large share In the down
fall OF Poland and to be such men
ace to the world. sprung from a race
of savages led by an adventurer.
AS late rs 1868, when the American
colonies were already settled common
wealths, Poland was so powerful that

kings came TO an end and Pola III
adopted system of elective kings. and
new constitution which worked out
badly and contributed to the downfall
of the nation. The Polish diet elected
the king. II consisted of chamber
of peers and house OF representa-
tives of the lesser mobiles. The diet
sat only six weeks each year and it's
decisions were obliged to be unani-
nous to be effective. Also there was
recognized right of any mobiles con-
federating together to enforce their
will by the power of arms. Naturally
the result was discord and sometimes
civil war. Russia. the growing Prus-
sia and Austria fOstered these internal
disagreements with hungry looks on
Polish territory.

JENKINS CAN TAKE
CASE TO MEXICAN
FEDERAL COURTS

MEXICO CITY, Nov. %
Hilario Medina. under secretary
for foreign affairs, stated today
that William o. Jenkins, i'm
prisoned American consular
agent, could take his case to the
Mexican federal courts if he de-
sired. He added that all the
facilities of the Mexican laws
were at Jenkins disposal.
The Mexican government, ac-
cording to dispatches from the
capital, previously had taken the
stand that Jenkins. charged with
conspiracy in his own abduction
by bandits. was under the juris-
diction Of the Puebla state
courts and that the federal gov
eminent could not interfere.
