Washington, D. 0., Feb. 7.——The Sen-
ate in executive session at; 3. 25 o 'clock
yesterday afternoon ratified the treaty
of peace with Spain. The vote was:
Yeas 57, nays 27, giving the treaty the
two-thirds vote necessary for ratifica-
tion. The vote in detail was as fol-
lows: .

paired with White, and Wetmore and
Wilson paired with Turpie.
Before the roll call, on the question
of ratification was ordered, a vote was
taken on Senator Vest’s proposed am-
endment. It was rejected by a vote
of 53 to 30, a. majority only being nec-
essary to pass the resolution.
The amendment declared that the.
United States had no right to hold a
conquered people as a. colony or' as 21
dependency against its consent.
Senator McLaurin of South Carolina
seems entitled to much of the credit
for saving the treaty. He was sup—
posed 'to be opposed to the treaty, but
at the right moment came out in fa-
vor of it in a speech that did much to
turn the. tide. McEnery of Louisiana
did not make up his mind how to vote
until just before the roll call, when he
let it be known that he would vote
"Aye.”
The last man to cast his vote was
Jones of Nevada, but his act lost some
of its dramatic interest [as his vote was
not needed.
Counting the four senators paired,
the advocates cast sixty-one votes, or
three more than necessary for ratifica-
tion.
The opponents needed thirty-one and
got only twenty-seven direct votes, or
twenty-nine counting the pairs.
The following is a recapitulation for
illustration: For ratification, 57; pair-
ed for ratification, 4. Against ratifica-
tion, 27; paired against ratification, 2.

Rev‘ew of the Agreement With Spain.
The treaty of peace with Spain was
signed in Paris on December 10 last,
after negotiations lasting ten weeks,
and was a triumph for American diplo-
macy. All the final provisions of the
protocol of August 12 were incorporated
in the treaty, and in addition it was
stipulated that the Philippine islands
should be ceded to the United States.
Every provision and every concession
on which the representatives of the
American government had insisted
had been yielded by the commissioners
of Spain.
The treaty consists of seventeen ar
ticles which are in brief as follows:
A1'1cle I.——Spaln renounccs all sov
eIe: gnty over Cuba.
Article Il.—Spain cedes to the Uni-
ted States the island of Porto Rico and
the other islands now under her smr-
ereignty in the ‘West Indies and the
island of Guam in the archipelago of
the Marianas or Ladrones.
Article III—Spain cedes to the Uni-
ted States the Philippine archipelago.
The United States shall pay to Spain
the sum of $20,000,000 within three
months aft'er the interchange of the
ratifications of the present treaty.
Article IV.—-Spanish ships shall be
admitted to Philippine ports under-
=qual terms wih American ships for ten
years.
Article V. —Provldes for the evacua—
tion of the Philippines and Guam by
Spain.
Article VI.——-Libera.tion of prisoners
of war and political prisoners.
The remaining articles include the
customary provisions of treaties of
peace, covering the transfer of public
property in the territory renounced or
ceded, treatment of oitlezns in such
territory, and adjudication of cases at
law therein pending before the ecurts
of Spain.
The final article stipulates that rati-
fications shall be exchanged in Wash-
ington within six months from the date
of the signature (If the treaty.

CAPITAL STIRRED.
Conflict at Manila Had Been taxman-.1
by the Administration.
Washington, D. C., Feb.._7.—Waslin
ington, buried beneath a foot of snow,
was stirred and excited _ it had not
been since those portent‘ious days last
summer when,'with the temperature in
the nineties, the president and his cabi-
from the front.
This last battle, which may or may
not be the closing one in the drama
begun when war was declared between
Spain and the Uiited States, was not
unexpected by\the president and his
cabinet. They have feared it all along,
and for the past two weeks they had
reason to believe that it would occur
before the vote on the ratification of
the treaty of peace was taken.
The agent of Aguinaldo, whom they.
have suspected of keeping the insur-
gent chief informed as to the proper
time to act, has been under close sur-
veillance since January 27, when it was
announced that one of his incendiary
cable dispatches to Aguinaldo had been
intercepted.
The government was so greatly im—
pressed with the information that the
navy department oflicers cabled it to
Admiral Dewey.
Congressmen began calling at the
executive mansion at an early hour in
the morning, and while it seems to be
the general impiession that the Fili-
pinos h'VEl e been taught so severe a
lesson that they “ill not be likely to
make further trouble at present, the
administration would be surprised at
nothing.
One 'fact it does not attempt to con—
coal—Admiral Dewey and General Otis
both apprehend-3d a conflict and were
prepared to meet it promptly and de-
feat th‘e rush natives quickly.
These ofiiccrs knew the condition of
the insurgent troops and how they
were armed. ’Zut if they knew who
supplied them with their Mauser rifles
and other effective weapons and wheth-
er or not Germany hada hand in the
work, as the public seems to believe,
they are keeping discreetly quiet on
the subject.
