Accecjes to American Demands Without Conditions. *■ RRENDEKS CUBA, PHILIPPINES AND GUAM D CEDES ISLAND OF PORTO RICO. - Treaty of Peace Will Now Be Formulated and Signed By the Commlfialons—United Staten Will Pay Twenty Million Dollars For Philippines-Negotiation!! From Beginning to End Are Condemned On All Sides. Bpein ha* accepted the United Staton’ offer of 130,000,000 and at a joint session of the peace commis sions at Paris Monday afternoon con sented without condition to relinquish Cubs and cede Porto Rico, Guam and ^he Philippine islands. The dooument presenting this ac ceptance contained only 800 words. It opened with a reference to the final terms of the United Stores, and said that the Spanish commissioners, sfter having taken cognizance of the terms proposed by the Americans, replied that their government had tried to give as equitable an answer as possi ble, but that they were not prepared to commit their government to the ac ceptance of the principles embodied in the American argument. "Spain rejects these principles," the note continues, "as she always lias rejected them." Basing her attitude upon the justice of her canse, the note then snyn she still adheres to these principles, "which she has heretofore invariably formulated." However, the note adds, in her desfte for penco ehfe has gone so far an to propose certain compromises which the Americans huve always re conolnnion of the translation the com missioners empowered SenortOjeda, secretary of the Spanish commission, and Secretory Moore, of the American commission, to draw up artioles which are to embody the relinquishment of Cuba by Spain and the cession by Spain of Porto Kico and the Philip pines. Meeting Was Interesting. - A great deal oi interest was taken in Monday's meeting. The two commis sion* arrived at the foreign offloe in the rain almost simultaneously, and repairing to tho conference room, im. mediately opened the only business before them. Henor Montaro Bios, the president of the Spanish peace commission, has usually preceded the presentation of a Spanish communica tion in writing by verbally summaris ing it, but Monday Senor 'Hios was silent and unusually grave. His fnco wns deeper lined and.he clearly show cd the mental .strain under which he was laboring as he approached the final relinquishment of Spain’s col pniul possessions. * Withont a word, Senor Montoro Bios produced two typewritten sheets and passed them to the interpoter of the United Staten commission, Mr. Ferguson, who read them, snbstnnti jeotnd. Hho has also attempted, it is! ally as cabled, the outline of the further asserted, to have submitted to arbitration some of the material par ticulars upon which the two govern ments differed. These proposals for arbitration, it is added, the Americans had equally rejected. These allegations in Spain's reply ns to attempted arbitration, refer to her proposal to arbitrate the construction of the third* artiolo of the protocol, and also to submit tho Spnnisli colo nial debt of Cuba and the Philippines to arbitration. Ths last proposition lias been made in n written communi cation. Since its presentation and in return for such arbitration, Spain of fered to code the territory iu dispute. Tho Americans refused both proposi tions for arbitration. Spanish document being furnished later to a correspondent of* the Asso dated Press by Senor Ojedn. The commissioners left the foreign office immediately after the secretaries had been directed to prepare the arti oles of the peace treaty. There was scarcely any Conversation betweon the American and Spanish commissioners after the adjournment. Among the Americans only the most grnvo consideration for their Spanish colleagues was nppnrent. The Span iards seemed to be relieved at having , arrived at the conclusion of the long j controversy.

PORTO RICO PESTS. Dlfflcultle. Which the Cattle Bailors Find Almost Insurmountable. Two pests havo to be fought by the cnttlo raisers of Porto Bico whioh would be altogether strange to a farmor of .the North. One is the guava and tlio other 1b a peculiar plant oallod by the local people "mori vivi.” The guava, where it is welcomed, is used ns n worthy fruit nnd furnishes the universal dessert for the dinner in Cuba and this island—guava paste with choose. But on the cattle ranch it is anathema. Wherever the guava grows, cnttle eat tho fruit with avidity. They scattor the seeds all about the ranch, and the energetic guava multiplies. It is of rapid growth, and nlmost im possible of extermination except by the olosest care. Like the thistles of some Northern farms, it overwhelms nature and takes /the place for its own. The other pest, whioh by a free translation may be callod “it lives nnd it Hies,” is a sensitive plant in its Betion, but extromely hardy in its ability to survive attack. The centre of the little weed is surrounded by a series of very sharp and stiff piuos which lie flat on the ground when tho plant iB not disturbed. At the first tauoh, however, they rise erect nnd bristlo with points like a porcupine on a small scale. As the cattle graze about the pasture they come to these armored weeds and attempt to cat the tempting bit in the center. Then the spine3 rise to stab the tender nose of the destroyer, and he retreats in haste. It does not take long for cattle to learn the wisdom of not poking their noses into the mori vivi, Then tho plant multiplies un- siderations of humanity and patriot ism, to submit to the conditions of the conquering nation, However harsh they may be. She is,therefore, ready to accept tho proposals of the American commission as presented at the last sitting. The reailiug and translation occu pied less than five minutes. At the QUAY’S CASE CALLED. Senator’* Attorney'* File Detmii-ror* to Four of (he Five Indictment*. The case of Senator Quay and oth ers, charged with conspiracy in the misuse of money of the stute on deposit in the People's bank, came up in the court of quarter sessions at Philadel phia Monday. The defendants, who are Senator M. 8. Quay, his son, Bichard B. Quay, and Benjamin J. Haywood, ex- etate treasurer, were not in court, their interests being looked after by their attorneys. Immediately upon the opening of court domurrers were filed to four of the five indictments found against the defendants by the grand jury and also filed a motion to quaHh the fifth indictment. Upon conclusion of arguments the court took the papers under advise ment. The papers, however, publish gloomy articles, sadly reminding the country that the day is one long to be remem bered as marking the "closing soeueof a glorious colonial history.” • AH airee that the government lias adopted the only proper policy, though much bitterness is displayed toward the United States. THE “01‘EN HOOK” POLICY. Cliwtrinnn Dingley ICxplatn. Fully tlie* Term’* Meaning. A Washington dispatch says: Chair man Dingley of the ways and means committee in an interview with Washington Star reporter explained the term “open-door” policy, as ap plied to the future commerce of the Philippines. “The phrase ‘open-door policy,’ " said Mr. Dingley, “means simply equality of treatment, aud not. tree trade. Asapplied to the independency of a country, it simply means that im ports from all countries are to be ad mitted upon the snme terms as imports from the mother country. As applied to the Philippines, it would mean that imports from other foreign countries are to be admitted at the same rates of duty as imports from the United States. MESSAGE FROM DREYFUS. 'v.

It is pleasant to bo appreciated. Persons work better when they know that their efforts command approval. Nothing is lost by kindly words of in terest and recognition. Flattery is offensive, but appreciation of an other’s kindness and service is always acceptable. Gentleness, whioh belongs to virtue, is to be carefnlly distinguished from the mean spirit of cowards and fawn ing assent of sycophants.

The proposed exodus of the Dela ware Indiana from the United States to Mexico is the latest and most shameful commentary in the history of onr dealings with the Indian tribes. These Indians always have been pence Indians. They have not only kept peace with the white man, but they have been his allies and pro tectors agniust the aavago tribes of the West. They surrendered the first of then- lauds to William Penn, nnd they have I boon engaged iu the snme sort of real estate transactions over siuoe. Their present aud last stnnd is iu the Indian Territory, where their neighbors, tho Cherokocs, are seeking to compel them to put their tribal lands, which they bought aud paid for, into n com mon pool, aud the case is now pend ing in the United States Court of Claims. They have finally lost faith in tho white man and propose to take up their abode in Mexioo, where the In dian enjoys all the rights and privi leges accorded to other inhabitants and where a land title in the name of an Indian is as valid and lasting as if it ware in the name ot a ruling don. The great Chief Logan saw with a prophetic eye the decline of his tribe, -order to give it any real value. Went Up ou III. Kite. - William M.
