TREATY: YET UNSIGNil
Not Likely to Be Ready To-day
\for Signatures.
RELIGIOUS EEEEDOM GIVEN
Illness of Secretary Ojedu Causing Delay.
Statement of Senor Garnica. The Final
Spanish Protest. Sulnmary of the
Trent y ’ 5 Provisions.
Paris. Dec. 10.——Senor Montero Rios,
president of the Spanish peace commis—
sion, and Senor Ojeda, secretary of that
commission, are still confined to their
beds.
The illness of the latter delays cu—
grossing the peace treaty. and it is
doubtful whether it will be signed be—
fore Monday.
The American commissioners held
their usual session yesterday. They
preserve secrecy regarding the terms of
the treaty. This is partly through the
influence of the three senators on the
body, who represent that it would be
discourtesy to the Senate to publish the
terms before the treaty is presented to
that body by the president.
Senator Gray, though known to be
radically opposed to the policy of an-
nexation or imperial-ism, will vote in
the Senate to ratify the treaty, consid—
ering that his signing that document
binds him to support it.
The Spaniards continue making bit-
ter comments concerning President
McKinley’s reference to the Maline.
When a correspondent of rthe Associ-
ated Press asked Senor Garnica of the
Spanish commission yesterday for fur-
ther details of the treaty, he said:
“The fact that you represent all the
American and English papers is really
a reason why I should say nothing. But
what you show me as having been ca-
bled is substantially correct. The ex-
act number of articles is still undeter-
mined. It depends upon how Secreta~
ries Ojeda. and Moore divide the treaty.
It may be that there will be twelve or
twenty articles. The Americans are to
pay the indemnity within three months
of the ratification. « We shall appoint
consuls in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippine islands without delay. The
Cuban consul will be accredited to the
power that may be in control.”
Asked why the Spaniards refused to
grant the United States a coaling sta—
tion in the Caroline islands, Senor Gar—
nlica said:
“The Americans could hardly expect
that we should-agree to discuss mat-
ters outside of the protocol, after the
lessons we have had from them on this
point. When we wished to discuss the
Cuban debt they absolutely refused to
consider it, and then they ask us for
whatever they Avant. Quel toupet!
(‘What cheekl’). Yet the Cuban debt
remains an important question for set-
tlement.”
In regard to the Spaniards’ final pro-
tést on the subject of the Maine, Senor
Garnica said:
“That protest now becomes history,
as it is embodied in the record. We
do not wish to remain under an impu-
tation which would perpetuate animos-
ity and hatred against us, and Which
Would be a. source of constant irritation
in Spain. It is neither loyal nor just
that this thing should hang over the
reputation of Spain. We cannot sub-
mit to it. It must be cleared up in jus-
tice to ourselves. There are many oth—
er causes to bring hatred between the
tho nations without. the addition of
such a. one as this. As to the future
relations of the two countries, that is
one of the things history alone can de-
termine. Many nations which have
been deadly enem'ies have been speed-
ily recouciled.”
The record accompanying the treaty
will contain every 'wrietten-statement
presented on both sides during the con—
ferences. The Spanlards made a final
contribution Thursday, when Senor
Montero Rios presented a vigorously
worded protest in which the Spaniards
declared that they yielded to force, but
that they invoked the conscience of the
nations against the abuse of the rights
of. nations of which hey were the vic-
tims. .
Notwithstanding the secrecy observ—
ed by the Americans, it is learned that
the treaty, in substance, consists of
thirteen cr fourteen articles.
The principal articles provide for the
cessiou and evacuatiin of Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippine islands, and
the political, administrative and finan-
cial results thereof; the acquirement
by the United States of public property
and the relinqu‘ishment of archives.
An important provision is the guar—
antee of religious freedom in the ceded
territories, in the sameIterms as the
Florida treaty. the Americans having
steadfastly refused to incorporate any
guarantee of the United States' deter-
mination to favor the pronerty if the
Catholic church, leaving it subject to
the general laws, in the same footing
as private property.

A SMALL POX EPlb'Sll/IIC.
?
Two Hundred Peis ns Out of a Popula-
tion of 2,800 111 With the Scourge.
Bedford, Pa., Dec. 10.—A plague of
small pox has smitten-this town. No
fewer than two hundred persons, by
actual count, have been stricken with
the terrible and loathesome disease,
and how many others no one knows.
What an awful condition of affairs
exists is evident when it is said that
the entire population, including every
man, woman and child, numbers hard—
ly 2,800 souls. One victim in every 14
persons!
The presence of the dread. disease
was hardly suspected until Thursday,
when Dr. W. B. Atkinson of Philadel—
-phia, inspector of the state board of
health, made an official statement‘ that
small pox is epidemic.
His word, uttered only after a. most
careful and thorough diagnosis, has
thrown the people of the town" into a
state of great excitement. ‘
For days the plague has been flour-
ishing, spotting its unsuspecting vic—
tims, now here and then there, and
branding them with the foul blotches
peculiar to the disease. -
All unaware of the pestilence that
had stolen into their homes to blight
fathers and mothers, grandparents and
the babes in their arms, the people of
Bedford have been mingling without
restraint in the conduct of their modest
daily life, and, worse still, many have
been going abroad to carry thegerms
of the‘ detested disease to 'all parts of
thestate. '
Of course it was soon noticed that a
mysterious skin affection had broken
out here and was rapidly becoming epi-
demic. Those afflicted consulted the
local physicians, but these confessed
themselvessorely puzzled. Some said
that the .disease was chicken pox: oth-
ers thoughtth'at it could not even be as
serious as that, and was merely some
ordinary Ski‘n disease. Their mystifica—
tion semed complete.
The loathesome pest spread rapidly
and a feeling of vague alarm became
general. for the sick failed to respond
to the treatment prescribed for them,
while every day some new victim was
recorded. '
Then it was at last decided to call
in the state health authorities. Not
that there was any suspicion if small
pox, but simply to determine wha-tihe
trouble was and possibly apply a rem-
edy. .
The rapid spread of the disease was
'due to the inability of the local phy-
sicians to diagnose it.
Six Day’s Cycle Race. .
New York, Dec. 10.-—Jusut half a doz-
en half crazy riders are all that is left
of the thirty-one who started in the
Madison Square Garden bicycle race.
The strain has driven off all the rest.
Of those who remain Hale, Lawson,
Aronson and Nawn are in bad shape.
Hale is a physical wreck, and is riding
only at 'the request of the management
because he is a drawing card. He
wants to quit.
The race at 2 o’clock looked more like
a cinch than ever for Miller. He was
riding strongly and was ahead of VVal—
ler, who was badly in need of rest. Mil-
ler was hustling in order to beat his
last year‘s record.

.
Budapest, Dec. 10.-——Dr. D. De Szi—
laygi, president of the lower house of
the Hungarian _Dieit, who tendered his
resignation in December, but was re—
quested to withdraw it, has definitely
decided to resign. . ‘
; In a letter he adhered to the declara—
tions contained in the previous commu-
hication to the lower house announcing
his withdrawal from office.
The Chamber was densely crowded
yesterday and the reading of the let-
Iter was received with cheers by the
party of the left.
The House accepted the resignation.
and adjourned, after the leaders of the
opposition had expressed grave anxiety
as to the future.

DUN’S WEEKLY REPORT.
A Larger Demand for All Products Than
' Ever Before at This Season.
New York, Dec. '10.—The most sig—
nificant thing this week has been the
entire absence of the customary ner-
vous fright before 'or after the meeting
of Congress, the president’s message
and 'the treasurer’s report;
No one showed the least alarm, and
nobody could find occasiin for any.
Money and stock and grain markets
moved on exactly as if the government
were automatic, certalin to do or say no
more than the people had already de-
cided and expected, and so the gradual
betterment since October continues.
There is a. larger demand for pro-
ducts in. nearly all the great industries,
larger export demand for foreign needs,
a more healthy domestic demand since
seasonable.weather arrived, and a-com—
forting conviction that November bus-
iness, the biggest ever done in this
country in any month, was but a step
toward something better. .
Exports last year In December were
marvelous, but this year are starting
far ahead. The Atlantic wheat exports
flour included, have been for the week
5,636,767 bushels, against 4,312,137 last
year. and Pacific exports 556,523 bush—
els, against 973,083 last year, and the.
prices have declined 2 3-4 cents for
cash, but western receipts of 10,135,169
bushels, against 6,213,471 from last
year’s great crop stops argument. The
wheat does not come out at low prices
if the people have less to sell than last
year at twenty cents more per bushel.
So the corn exports were 4,151,981, as!
against 3,313,086 last year, and such a
foreign demand at prices much higher
than last year, and with wheat cheap-
er, is proof of a state of things abroad
which Americans hardly appreciate.
The price declined only one-quarter of
a cent with enormous receipts.
Cotton shared in the export move-
ment fully, and nevertheless has risen
three—sixteenths in price, with a. feel—
ing that estimates of yield may have
been excessive.
At the extremely low price yet quoted
foreign buyers do not stop to calcu-
late commercial and mill stocks on
hand. ‘
Woolen goods have been in much bet-
ter demand, and many of the smaller
mills have been buying after conces-
sions secured by the larger. .
Sales of boots and shoes from the
East were smaller for the week than
in most other years because of the
storm, but wholesalers here were at
work night and day, some for six and
eight days running until midnight to
fill orders. -
The volume of business, domestic
and foreign. is very heavy. Exports
from New York for the week were 11
per cent. larger than last year, and for
five weks 28 per cent. larger, while im—
ports were three per cent. larger and
for five weeks about the same.
Payments through the principal clea— ,
ring houses for the first full week or’
December were 22.4 per cent. larger
than last year. and 14.8 per cent. larger
than in 1892, a fact especially signifi-
cant after the heavy excess of, last
month.
This week’s failures have been 248
in the United States against 312 last
year, andr22 in Canada against 29 last
year. '
The Londonian Survivors.
Boston, Mass, Dec. 10.——The surviv~
ors of the Londonian arrived here from
Baltimore yesterday. The Boston ag-
ent of the “Veilsin-Furness-Leyland line
has furnished transportation to Eng-
land on the Bostonian, sister ship of
the Londonian, which sails from here
to—day.
Second Officer Ketching has wired
the company here that the primary
cause of the disaster was the breaking
down of the steeping gear on November
23. Unable 'to obey her helm, the ship
tossed in the trough of the sea, and
sent out signals of distress. The 651
cattle became sick and filled the air
with their bellowings. By evening the
ship was rolling so heavily that the
men prepared to launch the boats. A
lurch of the vessel threw 400 tons of
cattle on the lee side of the ship, giving
her a list of 46 degrees.
Detroit Theatre Horror.
Detroit, Mich., Dec. 10.—The coroner’s
investigation of the cause of the col-
lapse of the roof of Wonderland theatre
by which a dozen lives were lost, has
returned a verdict to the effect that too
heavy a weight was placed upon the
roof, and placing the responsibility for
the disaster upon the firm of John
Scott «Sr. 00., architects of the building.
hen. Garcia Better.
Washington. D. 0., Dec. 10. The con-
dition of General Garcia, who is suf-
fering from pneumonia, is reported to
