YIELDS BECAUSE SHE MUST American Terms Wei-c but A Protest That; Iitaziinissibic on Legal Grounds, That. There Was Nothing Else for Spain to Do but Submit. Paris, Nov. 29.—The joint peace com- mission met promptly at 2 o ’clock yes- tei day afteinoon and the Spanish com- 1‘issioneis immediately announced their acceptance of the Ameiican de~ mands. . The Spanish commissioners announc- ed that, being authorized by their gov- ernment to reply that on legal princi- pies the American propositions are i11- admissible, and are hat 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 horzors of war, resigns herself 'to the power of the victor. She accepts the offered conditions in order to conclude a treaty of peace. .Vhen the members of the two com- nissions were seated, Senor Montero lLios, 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- 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, the superior power of the victor; The secretaries were then empowered to prepare the treaty articles embody- ing the cession of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, and the payment by the UnitedStates 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~ 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— 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, absollitely ignorant of what has happened. Intent upon their daily toil, they neither know nor care what occurs in the other hemisphere. Rut 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 whb 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 Likely to Take Possesslon of Philip- pines Until Treaty is Ratifled. Washington, Nov. 29.—Although n'o oflicial 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 meet/reg would be arranged for the formulating of the treaty. 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 over 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 9-) unless some distinct proviso is made in the treaty to this effect. If no provision is made for an immc diate evacuation and possession by thn‘ 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 thr 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. The Paris commissioners are apt to ' spend days if not weeks in arranging “anv- g... .~' as. and thus bow to' .Bank of Hornellsville has gone the details and drawing up the text of the treatY. l After this is done it does not become a. law until it has been ratified by the treaty making 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, amendment it then goes to the president, who signs it. The exchange of ratifications between place, provided that the treaty has been ratified by the Cortes. When the exchange 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. While of course this would eventu- 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 good 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,7 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. Official 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 ortginal demands and was specifically included in the original demands. cubans in need of money. CUBANS NEED MONEY. _.‘_- thc Visit to the United States. Kingston, Jamaica, Nov. 29.—General Masso, president of the Cuban insur- ent government, arrived here yester- day afternoon on a visit to his fam- fly. 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 tho mission of General Garcia and Se- nors Capote, Sanguilly and Lanuza to Washington 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 Cubans, Senor Masso also said. entertain profound 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 recognize their ability to sis only permanent peace is at all pos- sible. NEGRO'TROOPS NOT WANTED. Opposition in Arkansas to a \Var 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. reyfus to His Wife.

Announced by the United States Supr. mo Court. Washington, D. C., Nov. 29. —Th'- United States supreme court, through Justice Gray, has announced the new bankruptcy rules which it was au~ 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. The rules, while promulgated at this time, be 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 underlthe law previous to the 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 such further regulation by rule or order of these courts: as may be 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 it!) re- ceipt. All processes are to issue under 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 shall be an attorney or counselor a11- 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." ‘ The Picquart Case.
