Seven Months Have Elapsed Since the Protocol Was Signed—The President Must Officially De- clare _the War Over. WASHINGTON, March 18.—-The news of the signing of the peace treaty by the queen regent of Spain reached the itate department yesterday. Secretary Hay was naturally gratified at this event, which he had expected would follow the dissolution of the cortes. This action makes it possible to exchange the ratifications and thus complete the treatywithin the time set by the treaty itself as the maximum The protocol was signed Aug. 13 last at the White House by the president and Embassador Cambon. Dec. 10 the treaty was signed at Paris by the commis- sioners. Feb. 6 it was ratified by the United States senate, after a considera- ble struggle. Feb. 10 the president gave it his signature, and yesterday, seven months and four days after the signing of the protocol, the Spanish queen re- gent gave her formal assent and signa- ture. It seems now probable that to Em- bassador Cambon will be confided the honor of closing up the task which he set about seven months ago of bringing two great nations then at war to a state of peace. Usually the rule is for a nation situated as is Spain to send a special envoy, charged with the duty of exchanging the ratifications. In this case the wish of the United States gov- ernment will be consulted, and there is little doubt, in view of the kindly re- gard entertained for the embassador by the president, that he will elect to have M. Cambon act for the last time as the representative of the Spanish govern- ment and make the exchange. The signing of the treaty cannot in any manner affect the status of the Spanish prisoners in the hands of Agui- naldo, for the United States govern- ment is doing all that it can to secure their release. . Contrary to an expectation that seem- ed to have obtained in some quarters, the signature of the treaty does not in- volve the immediate discharge of all It was stated positively at the state department that legally the treaty does not go into ef- fect until the ratifications have been exchanged, and it will further be nec- essary for the president to proclaim it before the people of the United States, including the soldiers, can know offi— cially that the war is over. In all other respects, however, the state department will treat the war as at an end. It is believed here that the new Spanish minister will Eome pre- pared, immediatefly after making the exchange of rati..cations, to institute negotiations for a treaty of trade, com- merce and amity, the old treaty having been nullified by the outbreak of war and there‘being nothing in the way of .a formal convention to protect trade between the United States and Spain. After the. Signing. LONDON, March 18.——The Madrid correspondent of The Standard, after referring to the ratification by the queen regent of the treaty of peace be- twecn Spain and the United States, says: “Official relations between the two governments will now be promptly renewed. It is rufhored that the mine istcr'to the United States will be Senor Don J. Brunetti, Duke d’Arcos, former Spanish minister to Mexico, whose wife is'an American.” ~ ‘ Trial Trip of the Pathfinder. NEW YORK, March 18.—The United States survey steamer Pathfinder had her official trial trip yesterday on Long Island sound and exceeded her speed requirements. She left her dock at Elizabethport, N. J.. at 6 o’clock yes- terday morning. Captain Frank Cox of Elizabeth, N. J., was in charge. On board were Mr. Nixon, Designer Grogan and, Chief Engineer Ogden of the sur- veying bureau and some invited guests. The boat made 14 knots under natural draft, and off Stafford’s light, Connecti- out, under forced draft, she attained a speed of 16 knots and held it for knot after knot. The contract reduirements are 12 knots. She will be turned over to the government in two weeks and will steam to Hampton Roads, where she will be fitted out for her trip to Manila, which, it is said, will be her first ob- jective point. Mr. Sherman Improving. PONCE, Porto Rico, March 18.—The American line steamer Paris, Captain Frederick Watkins, with a party of tourists voyaging in the West Indian waters, arrived here at 5 o’clock yes- terday afternoon, but left an hour later without communicating with the shore, as Captain Watkins feared the ship might be quarantined at Jamaica ow- ing to the fact that a few cases of smallpox exist in Ponce. It is under- stood, however, that the Hon. John Sherman, who. has been suffering from pneumonia, is much better. . Punished For Dlvulxing' Secret... PARIS, March 18.—Ex-Lleutenant Boisson, alias Durand, formerly of a French infantry regiment, who was ar. rested in this city on Feb. 5 on the charge of carrying on’an illicit corre- spondence with a foreign government involving militarysecrets, has been Sen-v tenced. to five years’ imprisonment, to pay a. fineof 1,000'francs and to be placed under police supervision for ten years. The court, in pronouncing sen- tence, said it regretted that the law did not allow more severe punishment to be indicted on the prisoner.

NEW YORK, March 18,—R. G. Dun.& 301’s weekly review of trade says: In business, this year cannot be com- pared with any other. It can be said that payments through the principal zlearing houses for the past week have been 57.4 per cent greater than in 1892 and 45.9 percent greater than in, .1898, but that exaggerates the gain in some branches of business, while in others it falls far short of the gain. Thus the February exports of manufactured products have' about doubled since 1892. The exports of breadstuffs, provisions, cotton and oil in February showed a de- crease of $6,000,000, but other exports, mainly manufactured; were $36,406,943 in value against $31,275,396 last year and were sufficiently large to cover more than 60 per cent of the entire imports. The merchandise exports exceeded im- ports for the month $33,624,117, the gold supply increasing, and there appears no occasion for monetary disturbance. Swiftly rising quotations for iron and its products would mislead if it were qt kept in mind that more than nine- t ths of the iron manufacturing ca- pacity is‘ engaged and will be until July or later in the execution of orders taken months ago at low prices. *- Wool sales at the three chief markets have been only 4,305,600 pounds, of which 2,761,900 were domestic, against 5,078,200 in the same week of 1892, of which 3,507,- 200 were domeStic. But prices are soft, and some dealers are said to have yielded as n'luch'as 2 to 3 cents per pound clean because nobody can guess what effect the new combinations may have. The market which has lost most is that which has least statistical reason to lose, because no estimate of wheat in farmers’ hands March 1 would pi‘ovide more than about last year’s exports and domestic demand'}& July 1. The actual exports, flour iric fled, from both coasts during the past 0 weeks have been 7,956,938 bushels against 7,367,892 last year. , Failures for the week have been 189 in the United States against 208 last year and 30 in Canada against 27 last year. THE NAVAL EXAMINATIONS. Navy Department Says All Officers Will Be Treated Alike. WASHINGTON, March 18.—T.o cor- rect a misstatement that has been pub- lished respecting the action of the navy in ordering the physical and professional examinations of Bear Admirals Sampson and Schley the fol- lowing statement has been made public by the navy department: « “Section 1493 of the revised statutes provides that no officer shall be pro- moted to a higher grade on the active list of the navy until he has been ex— amined by a board of naval surgeons and pronounced physically qualified to perform all his duties at sea, except when physical disqualification was oc- casioned by wounds received in the line of duty. - “On March 10 the department wrote an order to Admiral Sampson, who is at sea in command of the north At— lantic fleet, directing him to be physic- ally examined in accordance with this statute and on the same day sent an order to Admiral Schley, who is in ‘Washington, to report at the navy yard for the same examination. Both these examinations are simply physical ex- aminations, ordered in the regular rou- tine way in compliance with the statute and have. no relatién to the Sampson- ‘Schley controversy. The. mental. moral and professional examinations of all the officers of flag rank, including both Ad- will be conducted in exactly the same way for them all by a board appointed by the department'and composed of Admirals McNair, Howell and Howison, the two former being at the head of the list of rear admirals and the third senior to both Sampson and Schley.” l?
