American Ternis Were
but
A Protest That
Ii'adinissible on Legal Grounds,
That There WasNolning Else for Spain
to Do but Submit.
Paris, Nov. 29.—The joint peace com-
mission met promptly at 2 O’clock yes-
terday afternoon and the Spanish com-I
missioners immediately announced
their acceptance of the American de-
mands.
The Spanish commissioneis 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 ‘t0 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—
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—
metrically opposed, the American offer,
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 secretaries were then empowered
to prepare the treaty articles embody-
ing the cesslon of Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines, and the payment by
the United States of twenty million
dollars for submission to the ,next
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-1
nish answer Would be an acceptance of
the American demand:
The American demand], included the
acquisition of the whole of the Phil-
1 ippine and Sulu groups for twenty mil-
lion dOllars, and it is also thought the
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 of 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 unanimouson the
matter.
“Outside of England I have not met
a single non-American who was not
opposed to the expansion of America.
Nor, through my whole tour of Europe
news I met a European who did not
receive the protestations of the genuine
sincerity with which the Americanpeo-
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 Likely to_Take Possession of Philip-
pines Until Treaty is Ratlfled.
Washington, Nov. 29.-—Although no
'officialdispatches 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 w ould accept our- terms and
that a meeting would be arranged £01
he. formulating of the t1eaty.
The news was received with- th:
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 ovvr
and that the work of drawing up 1h
treaty will now begin.
It seems to be the general impres-
sion that as soon as the treaty is slgr.
ed in Paris it becomes operative. and
that we will at once take possession
of the Philippines, but this is not s:
unless some distinct proviso is mild
in the treaty to this effect.
If no provision is made for an i
diate evacuation and possession by
Americans, things will go on in th
Philippines just as they have been un
til the treaty goes through the regula1
course and is finally ratified by th '
Spanish.
This, will take some time and wil’
. give the president and his cabinet an
opportunity to prepare plans and a
policy for the government of the ter-
ritory.
The Paris commissioners are apt to
spend days ,it not weeks in arranging
lthe details and drawing up the text
of the treaty
After this is done it does not become
la law until it.has'been ratified by the
.' treaty making powers of the two na-
.tions.
One copy of the treaty is biought to
the United States and submitted to
the Senate. The other goes to Madrid
.for the Cortes.
If the Senate ratifies the treaty with-
president, who signs' it.
The exchange of ratifications between
Spain and the United States then takes
lplace, provided that the treaty has
been ratified by the Cortes.
W’hen theexchange has. been made
the president proclaims the treaty as
the law of the land; while the queen
regent does the same in Spain. Not
until then can we act on it.
This procedure is with the under-
standing that 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.
ally be done, it would mean a longer
delay'and complications. ' '
It is expected, hoWever, that the
Senate'will- accept the treaty as drawn
by our commiSSioners, and’ that there
will be no unnecessary delay in its rat-
ification and promulgation.
A gO‘Od deal of annoyance has been
caused the department by the publi-
cation in one of the ,Paris newspapers
of what purports to be' a dispatch from
Washington stating that the Ameri—
can commissioners have largely in-
creased their demands, and now include
the Sulu islands as a. part of the east—
ern .territory to be ceded to the United
States. '
Ofiicial announcement is authorized
that as a matter of fact, there has
been no extension of our demands, but
the Sulu group were recognized to be
a part of the Philippine system in our
ortginal demands and was specifically
included in the original demands.
cubans in need of money.
CUBANS NEED MON EY.
Grant or a. Loan One of the Objects of
the Visit to the United States.
‘ Kingston, Jamaica, Nov. 29.—G-eneral
Masso, president of the Cuban insur—
gent government, arrived here yester—
day afternoon on a, visit to his fam-
ily.
The members of the Cuban colony
» here tendered him a public reception.
'In an interview he confirmed the re-
port ‘that one of the chief objects of
the mission of General Garcia and Se-
nors Capote, Sanguilly'and Lanuza to
Washington is to endeavorto 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 Cubans, Senor Masso also said.
entertain ’lprofound admiration and
gratitude for the Americans. But, nev—
ertheless, they will oppose annexation
or a protectorate, and they-are confi-
dently expecting the United States
speedily 1ecognize their ability to
manage their own affairs, on which b11-

NEGRO TROOPS NOT WANTED.‘
Opposition in Arkansas to a ‘Vnr Depart-
ment Order.
Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 29.——Lieuten—
ant J. W. 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, said that 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.
‘Dreyfus to His \Vifs.
Paris, Nov. 29.—Mme, Dreyfus, the.
Wife of former Captain Alfred Drey—
fus, the prisoner of Devil’s island, has
by permission of the authorities. re-
ceived the following telegram from her
husband:
“I rejoice with all of you. My health
is morally and; physically good."
Bank 11%" " "ellsvllle Closed.
Hornellsville, N. Y., Nov. 29.—The
Bank of Hornellsvllle has gone into
voluntary liquidation by proceedings
in the supreme court, for- the reason
that the business of the bank is not
profitable, and it was deemed best to
close its business, collect its assets and
pay its depositors and creditors.

Prussian policy of'expelllng aliens.

The Black Sheen of the Family No Longer
Eliglhle in the Navy.
Jacky, who used to be more sailor '
than gunner, is now more gunner than
sailor. Just in proportion as he has,
ceased to be a part of the great'en-
glue on which he lives, so he has come
,more and more into the control of it.
And as the cardinal purpose of a ward
ship is to hit things with her pro-
jectiles, Jacky has become a specialist
in getting that work out of her. He
does it in two places—at the guns and
at the engines. Correctly pointed guns
are of no 1use unless the platfomn on
which they rest is put in proper re«
lation t0 the thing to be hit, and kept
there; equally it is useless to get the~
ship into proper place unless the guns
are correctly pointed. Men who can
do either of these things must have ,
natural capacities, and be susceptible
to. education, and only men Of this
sort are eligible for our‘navy. .

The brotherly feeling shown by'

Spain, but was most touchingly ex-
pressed a score of years ago by the
- English novelist, W. Clark Russell, in ;
“The Wreck of the Grosvenor,” where
in chapter twenty-seven. in telling
his story in the firstperson, he gives;

“A-t the same moment she hoisted
