Poland Stirred to War.
But Poland did not die without a
struggle. Kosciusko. who had served
under Washington during the Ameri-

country, inspired the spirit Of pa
triotism into his fellow Poles and
stirred all Poland into war against her
oppressors. The Poles fought brave
ly and defeated the Russians In the

TREATY OF PARIS, 1898


After ALL II took four months after
the signing of the armistice 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 amistlce,
was signed on August II, 1898, ana
the treaty signed on December u
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 at war with Spain for year
lacking a 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
rs. There was 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 1t
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 1t. And the
American proclamation of war was
made retroactive to April Fl. Dewey
entered Manila bay May i and de-
stroyed the Spanish fleet there.
Cervera's fleet got into Santiago on
May 10, where 1t was bottled up by
the fleet under Sampson and Schley-
Sampson being senior officer The
American expedition landed at Dali
quifi June 20-22. and the battles of Ell
Caney and San Juan Hill took place
on July IL. On July 3 the Spanish
fleet attempted to escape and was de-
stroyed in the naval battle Of Santi-
ago. Santiago surrendered on July
II and the campaign in Porto Rico be-
gan on July 25, and was in progress at
the signing of the armistice. Manila
was captured on August Ii, the day
after tire protocol was signed. Ma
Mia had been practically at the mercy
of the Americans since the May morn
ing on which Dewey destroyed the
Spanish feet. 1t had been only
question of getting American troops
there to occupy the place In sufficient
force.
Spain Was SulIen.

came evident that the purpose was a
reality and not bluff other European
powers put diplomatic pressure" on
Spain to end the war. The prospect of
American guns awaking he echoes of
European hills was not looked forward
to in 1898 with the eager pleasure that
1t was anticipated by some nations a
year and half ago. Spain did not
need much urging, apd on July % the
Spanish minister oE.tate transmitted
through the French Ambassador at
Washington letter to President Nc
Kinley asking for peace. This letter
reached the president on July 26, and
four days later the secretary Of state,
Mr.. Day, replied, stating the terms
upon which an armistice would be con-
cluded.
On August II M. Jules Caml,on, the
French ambassador, signed on behalf
of Spain the protocol, or terms Of
armistice, in which were embodied not
only the demands stated but three 9TH
er articles providing for the method of
evacuating Cuba and Porto Rico. Fight
ing stopped. It was arranged that
peace delegates should meet at Paris
in October. Mr.. Day resigned his
office as secretary of state in order to
accept an appointment as delegate.
Philippines Stumbling Block.
The principal stumbling block was
reached when the commissioners came
to consider the Philippines. Having
taken them and destroyed the only
government in the islands the United
States could hardly go away and leave
them loose in the world, as 1t were,
Other nations had envious eyes on
them and stood ready to grasp the
fruits of American success. Spain re.
fused to give them up and threatened
to break off negotiations. The United
States made the cession Of the islands
an ultimatum and, running true to
form" in paying cash for what she had
already obtained by conquest, offered
Spain twenty million dollars If she
gave them up. Spain yielded and the
treaty was signed on December 10.
