Paris, Dec. 10.— The United States
and Spanish peace Commissioners con
cluded their work tolar and finally
settled the terms nf the treaty of peace.
They w ill meet once more in formal
session, when tho Spanisli commission
ers sorrowfully and the Americans,
with feelings of relief, will wtito their
signatures upon the document which
embodies tiie result of the war and the
preparation of which has consumed 11
weeks, a longer time than tiie war
itself. In the meantime the treaty will
be engroseed tinder the supervision ol
Mr. Moore and Senor Ojeda, the secre
taries of the respective commissions.
The Spaniards are exceedingly hitter
over the result, though observing the
forms of friendliness and courtesy to
the end. Senor Montero Rios, whose
strong and persistent struggle to save
for iiis country every possible asset from
tiie wreck of her colonial empire, lias
commanded the respect and admiration
ot his opponents, went from the council
chamber today to iiis bed in a state of
complete collapse, as a result of the
long strain and his chagrin over tiie
small fruits of his efforts.
Senor Ojeda lias been prostrated since
yesterday, and was unable to attend
the joint session today.
The Spaniards charge equal blame
upon the European powers and tiie
United States for their downfall. Ono
of tiie Spanish commissioners said:
“ The European nations have made a
great mistake in deserting Spain and
leaving her to spoliation bv the brute
force of a concienceless giant.
They
all know that in tiie Philippines Amer
ica has taken more than she can digest.
She will ultimately sell the islands to
England or Germany, and when tiie
transfer is attempted it w ill precipitate
general European strife.
“ YY’e have iefused to sell any island
In the Carolines. YY’ o never thought of
considering an offer. Nor have we con
sented to negotiate upon any questions
except those directly involved in tiie
protocol signed at Washington. ”
Tiie American com missioners entered
the joint conference today in a nervous
frame of mind.
They evidently had
reasons to heliove that the possibility
existed that even at this late hour there
might he a rupture.
This feeling of
apprehension was based on the temper
the Spaniards have displayed lately.
This week the commissioners of Spain
have not concealed tiie fact that, hav
ing failed to gain all important points,
they were indifferent as to whether or
not the conference resulted in the set
tlement of peace by tiie signing of the
treaty by which Spain loses all her col
onies. Miscarriage of tho negotiations
would leave political prestige at home
no worse, if not in better condition
than if thoT signed the treaty.
The Americans were anxious not to
give the Spaniards any pretext to break
off the negotiations, or take offense, so
far as the exercise of patience and
diplomacy could steer clear of protests.
Madrid papers arc disposed to revivo
tiie question of tiie Maine aud to excite
public opinion against tiie United
States on account of the reference made
to this in President M cKinley’s mes
sage. They report that Rios made an
impassioned denunciation of McKinley
at tiie last joint meeting of the commis
sions. Rios did refer to the Maine,
hut only in calmly woided sentences,
expressing regret that tiie president
had so spoken.
Diplomatic circles in Paris predict as
one of tiie results of tiie treaty a diplo
matic contest between Franco and the
United States, which will make an im
portant chapter in history. The French
government is reported to have tesolved
to take up tiie case of the French hold
ers of Unban bonds, and it is believed
France w ill declaie for repudiation of
the bonds as the result of the treaty
which tiie victorious nation imposed on
Spain. They argue that the treaty re
sponsibility has been shifted upon
America, and that therefore the French
government will endeavor to exact
some pledge for payment or guarantee
of the bonds.
Members of tiie commission say the
treaty contains little outside of the
scope of the YY’ ashington protocol, and
matters directly based thereon, like
provisions for evacuation of ceded terri
tory, transfer of public property therein
and guarantees of safety of property
and rights of Spanisli citizens remain
ing there. Details of tiie last class of
questions covered by tiie statement
which the Americans handed to Kios
at the last meeting were considered to
day, hut ail the commissioners refuse
to divulge the details of the conference.
Several points upon which they were
unable to agree were left open for
diplomatic negotiations.
The Spaniards refused to admit tiiat
they had failed to respect former trea
ties guaranteeing religions freedom in
the Caroline islands, or that there was
necessity for such guarantees.

Tiie tragedy was
due to young Clevenger’s insane jeal-
