That There Was Nothing Else for Spain _
to Do but Submit;
Paris, Nov. 29.—The joint peace corn;
mission met promptly at 2 o’clock yes-
terday afternoon and the Spanish com-
missioners immediately ’ announced
their acceptance of the American de-
mands. '
The Spanish commissioners announc-
ed that, being authorized by .their gov-
ernment to reply that on legal princi-
ples the American propositions are in-
admissible, and are not a. proper com-
promise, on the Spanish part all dip-
lomatic resources are exhausted. and.
the Spanish commission is now asked
to accept or reject the propositions.
Spain, inspired by reasons of patriot-
ism and humanity, and to avoid the
horrors of war, resigns herself ‘to the
power of the victor. She accepts the
offered conditions in order to conclude
a treaty of peace. .
When the members of the two com-
missions were seated, Senor Montero
Rios, the president of the Spanish com-
mission, immediately handed the Span-
ish reply to Mr. Arthur Ferguson, the
Spanish interpreter attached to the
United States peace commission.
The answer of the Spaniards was so
short that less than ten minutes were
consumed in rendering it into English
for the Americans. \
The reply was as stated above. It
added that Spain throughout the con-
troversy had the strongest argument
and that, as between positions so dia-

The engineer of the steamer Port-

three daughters. .
He was an occasional visitor in town
from his home in Portland. His trade
was that of a machinist.

By an act passed by the Legislature

day of January, 1899, and all the jus-

justices all took office on the next day,
the first Monday of March The result

and unless they were elected and have
qualified since the November election
of this year, their terms will expire on
Sunday, January 1, 1899.
The new act also provides that cer-

BRIDGEPORT, Nov. 29.—-Henry Gill,
father of Emma Gill, whose body was
found in Yellow Mill pond last Septem-
ber, came to Bridgeport, Saturday, for
the purpose of seeing Dr. Nancy A.
Guilford, the alleged murderess now
in the county jail. Mr. Gill said some
time” ago that he wanted to talk with
the accused midwife, to, learn some-
thing about the last days of his daugh-
ter, who is supposed to have died un-
der her care.
Mr. Gill arrived Saturday and is
stopping at the residence of a family
named Morehouse, at 53% Burroughs
street, in East Bridgeport. He visited
the police station, held a conference
with the superintendent and detec-
tives, and later made his way to the
county jail.
Sherilf Hawley was not at the jail,
having gone out of town. Assistant
m
man-.—
J ailer Schofield refused to allow Mr.
Gill to see the doctress, as it was antic-
ipated he would. , He went away some-
what disappointed at the result, as he
of $20,000,000 was not a fair sum.
Nevertheless, the reply continued,
Spain desired to avoid any further ef—
fusion of blood and disorder and had
concluded to accept the American of—
fer unconditionally, and thus bow to
the superior power of the victor.
The secretarim were then empowered
to prepare the treaty articles embody-
ing the cession of Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines, and the payment by
the United States of twenty million
dollars for submission to
meeting.
The two peace commissions were in
separate session all the morning.
It was openly admitted on’ all 'sides
before the joint meeting that the Spa-
nish answer would be an acceptance of
the American demand:
The American demand. included the
acquisition of the whole of the Phil-
ippine and Sulu groups for twenty mil-
United States will purchase the. Caro-
line group. ,
The question of the debt of Cuba
was left unsettled. The next meeting
will take place to-morrow.
There,,.is no denying the.-fact that-
the whole European. continent will bit-
terly resent American acquisition of
the Philippines. .
This sentiment is not confined to
diplomats, but is especially prevalent
here in Paris.
It is the opinion constantly heard in
the highest French society. It is
known that a high official of the
French foreign office said yesterday:
“The appearance of the Americans
in Eastern waters is a. disturbing fac-
tor to the whole of Europe. Ameri-
cans, as is well known, lack diplomatic
manners and will surely bring con-
stant trouble to all 01' us."
As to the general sentiment, Mr. Wil-
liam T. Stead, who has just returned
here from his tour of France, Belgium,
Germany, Russia. Austria, Turkey and
Italy, and who has seen the highest
politicians in each country, and in
some cases the rulers, said yesterday:
“The immense majority of Europeans
are, of course, absolutely ignorant of
what has happened. Intent upon their
daily toil, they neither know nor care
what occurs in the other hemisphere.
But Europeans who read the newspa-
pers are able to form what may be
called ‘public opinion' in the old world.
They are practically unanimous on the
matter.
“Outside of England I have not met
a. single non-American whs was not
opposed to the expansion of America.
Nor, through my whole tour of Europe
have I met a. European who did not
receive the protestations of the genuine
sincerity with which the American peo-
ple entered on the war with more or
less mocking incredulity."
Mr. Stead reports that the bitterest
hostility of all was found at the Vati-
can.

WHAT REMAINS TO BE DONE.‘
Not Likelyto Take Possession of Philip-
pines Until Treaty is Ratified.
\Vashington, Nov. 29.——Although no
ofiicial dispatches have been received
announcing final action on the peace
treaty, the president was informed
yesterday morning that the American
commission had been notified that the
Spaniards would accept our 'terms and
that a meeting would be arranged for
the formulating of the treaty.
The news was received with the
greatest satisfaction by the president.-
He has all along expected the negoti—
ations to end by the Spanish accept-
ance, but is glad that the thing is OVE‘l
and that the work of drawing up the
treaty will now begin.
It seems to be the general impres-
sion that as soon as the treaty is sign-
ed in Paris it becomes operative, and
that we will at once take possession
of the Philippines, but this is not so
unless some distinct proviso is made
in the treaty to this effect.
If no provision is made for animme-
diate evacuation and possession by the
Americans, things will go 'on in the
Philippines just as they have been un-
til the treaty goes through the regular
course and is finally ratified by the
Spanish. '
This will take some time and will
give the president and his cabinet an
opportunity to prepare plans. and a
policy for the government of the ter-
ritory. .

a. law until it has been ratified by the
treaty marking powers of the two na-
tions. ' ‘
One copy of the treaty is brought to
the United States and submitted to
the Senate. The other goes to Madrid
for the Cortes. ' .
If the Senate ratifies the treaty with-
out amen’dment it then goes to the
president; who signs it. '
The exchange of ratifications between
Spain and the United States then takes
place. prbvided that the treaty has
been ratified by the Cortes. '
When the exchange has been made
the presi’ent proclaims the treaty as
the law f the land, while the queen
regent ties the same in Spain. Not
until then: can we act on it.
This piocedure is with the under-
standingigthat the United States Sen-
ate accepts the treaty exactly as it is
drawn by the peace commissioners. If,
however,_«,’__ the senators amend it or
change'it in any way it must be sub—
mitted to the Spanish government to
be accepted. .
While-inf course this would eventu-
ally be_ done, it would mean a. longer
delay and complications.
It isflexpected, however, that the
Senate will accept the treaty as drawn
by our:;comniissioners, and that there
will be no unnecessary delay in its rat-
ification and promulgation.
A good deal of annoyance has been
caused the department by the publi-
catibn. in one of the Paris newspapers

Kingston, Jamaica, Nov. 29,—Gcneral
Mussg. president of the Cuban insun
gent? government, arrived here yester-
rlnv' afternoon on a visit to his fam-
ily.
Thefmcmbers of the Cuban colony
here. tenderod him a public reception.
In an interview he confirmed the re-
port that one of the chief objects of
the mission of Gr-neral Garcia. and Se-
uors Capote, Sanguiliy and Lanuza to
\Ynshington is to endeavor to secure
a grant or a loan of money sufficient
to pay off the insurgent army, which is
about to be disbanded. .
He said that the provisional govern~
ment is bankrupt and that unless the
Cuban army is provided for satisfac—
torily grave and regrettable complica-
tions may arise. .
The-l Cubans, Senor Masso also said.
entertain profound. admiration and
gratitude for the Americans. But, nev-
ertheless, they will oppose annexation
of: a protectorate,- and they are confi-
dently expecting the United States

sis only permanent peace is at all pos-

NEGRO TROOPS NOT WANTED.
Opposition in Arkansas to a ‘Var Depart-
ment Order.
Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 29.——Lieuten—
ant J. YV. Phillips, commandant at
Fort Logan H. Root has received a
telegram from the war department no-
tifying him that a detachment from
the Twenty—fifth (colored) infantry
'Would be sent to this station to do gar-
rison duty.
This information has created excite-
ment among citizens here. ,
Beyond a doubt a strong protest will
be entered with the war department
by the state authorities and citizens
against the occupation of the post by
colored troops.
'The protest will not be based entirely
upon hostility to the negro, but on the
feeling prevalent in view of recent
troubles at southern camps against
placing negroes in a position where
clashes with the whites are likely to
follow.
Governor Jones, in speaking of the
matter yesterday, saidthat he consid-
ered .the sending of negro troops here
as an exceedingly unwise thing, and
declared that he would certainly re-
monstrate with the federal authorities,
protesting against it to the war de—
partment. .

'1 cm: new BANKRUPTCY RULss. l
l
Announced by the United States Sum-.1110
Court.
Washington, D. 0., Nov. 29.—-Ths .
United States supreme court, through
Justice Gray, has announced the new
bankruptcy rules which it was an-
thorized to frame and promulgate un-
der the National Bankruptcy act of
July 1, 1898.
The rules have been awaited with
much interest, as a number of courts
declined to proceed with bankruptcy
cases until the supreme court announc-
'ed the new rules. ‘ ‘
Justice Gray said that the new rules
would take effect on Monday, January
2, 1899, and that all proceedings here—
tofore taken substantially in confor-
mity to the act and the regulations of
1867, as far as practicable, would be
upheld. 4'
The rules, while promulgated at this
time, he said, would not be ready for
distribution for some time, owing to
proof revision, etc.
The rules are preceded by an order
prescribing the proceedings in bank-
ruptcy under the law previous to th:
day in which the rules go into effect.
This order says that where the pro-
ceedings are “in substantial conformity
either with the provision of these gen-
eral orders, or else with the general
orders established by this court under
the bankruptcy act of 1867, and with
any general rules or special orders of
the courts in bankruptcy, they shall
stand good, subject, however, to sueh
further regulation by rule or order of
these courts as may e necessary or
proper to carry into force and effect
the bankrupt act of 1898 and the gen-
eral orders of this court.”
The first rule requires the clerk of the
court to keep a docket for entering
cases in their order with a memoran-
dum of all proceedings except those
entered by the referee. The docket
is to be at all times open to public in-
spection.
Rules 2, 3 and 5 relate successively
to the filing of papers, to processes,
to the conduct of proceedings and to
the framing of petitions.
The clerk is required to indorse on
each paper filed the time of its re-
ceipt.
All processes are to issueunder the
seal of the court. All petitions anl
schedules are required to be plainly
written and without abbreviation of
interlineation.
Rule No. 4 provides that "proceed-
ings, may be conducted by the bank-
rupt in person in his own behalf, or by
a petitioning or opposing creditor, but
a creditor will only be allowed to
manage before the court his individual
interest.
“Every party may appear and con-
duct the proceedings by attorney, who
thoried to practice in the circuit or
district court. Notices and orders not
required to be served on the party per—
sonally, may be served upon his at-
torney.” ‘
