(Much Work Ahead.
in spite of this temporary halt In llo
the negotiations, and contrary to gen
eral expectation. Judge Pay, president
of the American commission, believes
ihe treaty will be signed next week.
But a glut deal of work must be done
before the treaty 1? ready for signa
tures. as after ten weeks of negotia
tions the only articles arc qited by
both commissions are the three load
ing ones, providing for (lie cession of
the Spanish colonies, anil those only In
piineiple and not in language.
The adjournment today was at Judge
Day’s request, as the long morning
session developed a divergence of opin

the Americans would not have entered
it as a united laxly.
The exact nature of the differenecs
of opinion cannot, lie ascertained, but it
Is believed some of the commissioners
are In » more yielding mood towards
Spain than their colleagues.
There Is no doubt that the Spaniards
on Monday will report the arrival of
their government’s Instructions, the
