SPAIN IN A HURRY.
The Spanish government has
not only accepted the treaty
terms exacted bv the American
Peace Commissioners, but is
making all possible haste to
evacuate Cuba and Porto Rica,
going to the length of enaploy
ing four of the largest steam
ships of the Nortu Gerjpan
Lloyd bteamshipCo., the Fulda,
Werra, Muencneti and Darm
stadt.
These steamers when trans*
f i taed into transports h ive a
carrying capacity of 2,100 pas
geng rs each, and as the Werra
and Fulda are chartered for two
trips each and the others for one,
and more if wanted, these con
tracts show that Spain is in haste
to complete the work of evacua
tion snd get rid of all responsi
bility for the future government
of her late West Indian posses
sions.
