lay that was expectod, tho Spanish
commissioners immediately accepted
tho American terms.

missions were seated, Honor Mon
tero Ulos, tho president of tho Spanish
commission gavo tho Spanish reply to
Mr. Ferguson, tho Spanish interpreter

tho cession of Cuba, Porto Itlco and
the Phlllpplnoi, aud tho payment by
tin United States of 310,000,000 for

lied by their government to say that
tho American propositions wero Inad
mlsslblo on legal principles, but that
all diplomatic reioursos on the Span
Ish part are exhausted, leaving to
Bpajn only tho acceptance- or rejection
of Amorlcan proposal. Therefore,
Spain, inspired by reasons of patriot
ism and humanity, and to avoid the
horrors of war, resigns herself to tho
power of tho victor. She accepts tho
offered conditions in order to conclude
a treaty of peace.
The American demands Include tho
acqulstlon of the whole of tho Philip
pine group, Including the Sulu Island,
for 20,000,000 and It is nlso under

ered a part of tho Philippines, but
this was Ignored by tho American
commissioners.
Tho Cuban debt was not settled.
The commissioners are to meet again
Wednesday.

and no word of tho steamer had boon
received at Portland.
The total number of vessels wrecked
Is estimated at moro than 170. Tho
loss of life is hard to detormlno exact
ly. It Is known that about fifty per
sons perished In and about Boston har
bor. Reports from other places, In
some cases, stato that the crow of this
or that vessel escaped. Many Bay that
tho fato of tho crow is unknown.
Some survivors havo turned up

cover those of whom nothing is known
not including the fifty-flvo who were
on board the stoamcr Portland.
The islands ot Boston harbor arc,
without exception, strewn with wreck
and wreckage; no fewer that twenty
nluo vessels are ashoro, at Gloucester;

Tho chief loss of lifo in Boston har

lined with men, when two now coal
barges were seen in tho oiling driving
ashore. Captain James ot tho lifo
saving crow wns thoro with his men

blew ri fierooly that not men enough
could find room in tho boat to row
against tho 'wind. Through tho
snow the forms of five men could bo

first barge. With a crash tho bargo
struck the shoro, crumbled and then
melted Into fragments, which tho
waves In unothor minute cast upon tho

ONLY THE TREATY REMAINS,
IVare Comralttloaer Kxpect to Start
llomn In Two Weeks.
PAnis, Not. 8a Abarzuza, tho
Spanish peaco commissioner, discus
sing the peuco negotiations, said: "Wo
havo fulfilled our mission here and
havo agreed to make tha treaty of
peace, but we do so under protest that
our sovorolgn rights over tha Philip
pines nro still intact Our memoran
dum sots this fact forth, though, ad
mittedly, it cannot affect tho treaty.
"We loso our colonial empire, but
America docs not know what now and
difficult responsibilities oho Is under
taking. Tho island of Mindanao alont
will keep hor busy for years."
Asked if the treaty will contain any
refcrenco to debts, Senor Abarzuza
nnsworodj "No, inasmuch n tho
Americans havo put theso questions
aside and havo refused to take them
into account whon framing tho treaty.
Subsidiary matters, such as cablo sta
tions and so on, will bo dtalt with
separately. I don't expect moro than
two or threo sittings nfter to-morrow.
Scnor OJeds, tho principal Spanish
secrotnry, said: "Peace is assured. We
have agreed to sign a treaty in accord
ance with tho protocol of Washington,
but at tho Bame time protesting our
sovereign rights over the Philippines
and stating that wo only yield to tho
hard American terms owing to our In
ability to renew tho war and in the
presence of superior force."
Secretary Moora of the American
commission puts It in this way: "The
Spaniards accepted our conditions un
reservedly and a draft of a treaty will
be laid before tha joint meeting to
morrow. They havo accepted 820,
000,000 for the Philippines." Judge
Day remarked with undisguised grati
fication: "I hope wo shall be sailing
for home In a fort night. Everything Is
uow clear."
Tho Spanish commissioners were
gloomy and depressed at Monday's
meeting. There was no Interchange
of tho usual compliments and civil
ities. They were performing an un
grateful task under compulsion. It is
known that Senor Mentero Hlos asked
Premier Sagasta to accept his resigna
tion from tha commission rather than
forco them to cede or surrender Span
ish colonial empire. But Sagasta ap
pealed to them to fulfill their mission
In the interest ot the dynasty.
For tho first timo since tho meeting
of tha commission tho Spaniards have
shown thalr feelings. When General
Cerrero entered his carriage he put a
handkerchief to his eyes, being over
come with emotion. Montero Riot
left tho meeting place with bowed
head and a spiritless gait, tha picture
of dejection.
The secretaries of tha two peace
commissions, Messrs. Mooro and OJeda,
began their joint task ot formulating
tha articles of the peace treaty at 3
o'clock this afternoon aa directed by
their respective commissions at yester
day's conference. This work will bo
cosy and rapid, as to tho relinquish
ment and cessions referred to in the
protocol, the torms of which document
will bo transferred bodily to the
treaty.
Tho secretaries, moreover, will em

She Refotea and Starts Home to Mother
The denth of tho tcn-month-old
child of Mrs. Effle Lunnon last Sunday
on tha Rock Inland train just a few
statlous west of Lincoln, of which
mention has been previously made,
occurred under distressing circum
stances. Tho hlBtory of tho lady
bIiows that alio has suffered a great
deal in tho past few months, and a
few incidents in Lincoln indicated sho
was suffering bo Bovcroly that It was
strange she did not fall 111 herself.
Sho' married her husband, George
Lunnon, at Middlovllle, Mich., two
years ago last February. In Septem
ber of 1807 he took her to California.
Two weeks after landing there ho
took a notion to go to Australia, nnd
ho did so, leaving her in a dellcato
condition. Since ho left bIio has re
ceived two lettci-H from him, ono con
taining $25, nnd tho other Btatlng that
ho would pay hor expenses to como to
him if sho would give her child away.
Unless sho would consent to do this,
ho said, ho would lmvo nothing moro
to do with her. Sho rofused, nnd used
the scanty means at hor command for
several months, or until sho was al
most destitute. Then bIio wroto of
her condition to hcrparcnts in Michi
gan, who were respectable, but pos
sessed little means. They sent her n
second class ticket to her home. Tho
child sickened boforo the trip. On tho
trip, through tho kindness of tho rail
road company, tho mother and baby
had accommodations in the sleeping
car, and the care of a physician from
Pueblo. The Infant died only a short
distance from Lincoln. Tho mother
was given a stop over at Lincoln and
the body of the Infant was taken to
Hcaton's undertaking establishment
and properly cared for. Tho mother
was almost hcart-brokon. She had
kept constant watch over her child
from tho beginning of its illness, nnd
Its death had found hor in a physical
condition unfit to bear tho strain. A
number of charltablo ladies of Lincoln
went to see her, and when ono was
about to comfort her, sho fell insensi
ble Into her arms. Sho was in that
condition for about an hour. Sho said
afterward that sho was heart broken
and thought that she, too, was dying.
Rind hands decorated tho llttlo casket
with flowers, and transportation for
the body pt tho child was furnished by
the railroad. Mrs. Lunnon was bent
on, being furnished sleeping car ac
commodations. May Die.
While out with a hand sled looking
for "free rides," tho sevcn-ycar-old
son of V. Laro of Wymore fell under
tho wheels of a wagon and sustained
injuries which may prove fatal. Ho
was trying to tlo a ropo to tho wagon,
and In soma way was thrown under
neath and tho rear whcclB passed over
his abdomen and also broko his right
arm. He was picked up unconscious
and carried Into tho Jeffrey houso,
whero physicians cxprcssod tha belief
that his injuries would prove fatal.

Mrs. Spunogle, n lady over eighty
