WAUIIXdTON' , Doc. 2 ! ! . Whatever course
coiiKrt'M may finally take with rcspact to
the Cameron resolution , the * offavts of tha
lire-sent AdmlnUtraiton at least will continue
to be exerted In behalf of an autonnmoun
( ; ov ! rnmcnt for the Cuban * . During tie
correspondence between this government u'.ul
Spnln ihe Canadian system has repeatedly
ben referred to as a model which Spain
might do well to follow In granting homo
rule to her Cuban colonists. The objection ,
howc % - ! . IIRB boon made and with some
rca u'i , U Is admitted , that such a system ,
which would work admirably with her ma
jesty's subjects In Canada , might utterly
fall If applied to theCubans. . That Spain
has Intimated that under certain conditions
she would not be nverst lo granting a reasonable
sonable- nil astirc of home rule to the Cubans
Is bi'vond que-atloii. She , howcvur , Insisted
Ihat nothing less than n disastrous defeat
In battle will cause the Insurgents to heed
1 such piojiogltlonn , and II is regarded in Mad
rid as uselfss to attempt any of the reform ?
Hiiisp'-s'i-d until Woyler strikes a decisive
blow. The government , however , does not
fully asreo with that view of the case nnd
undoubtedly It Is making some process In
Its ronttuilon for peace on a basis allko
reasonable and honorable to Ihe Cubans as
well as to Spain. One of the principal mo
tives which has acttmled this goveinmant
In the romso It has taken In this mailer H
the protection of Iho persons and property
of citizens of the United States now un-
gngi-d as tobacco nnd sugar planters In
Cuba Although the planters generally are
said to BympatthUo with the Cuban cause ,
Information has reached this government
that as n rule they entertain s.-rlous doubto
of the ability of the native Cubans , If
wholly mitccHsfiil , to maintain a stable nnd
Ba'lBfactnry ' government. What the plant
ers must deslro Is annexation to the United
Stales , but as the administration has plainly
made i-vldcnt It regards this ns out of the
quest ion. the planters next favor an auton
omous government under the executive su-
l > i > rinlon of Spain.
Hi'iulil Spain consent to allow Cubi to
I'-clslate as to her own Intcrnallinal affairs ,
the United Stales , as Htatnl by Mr. Olney In
his rtport lo congress , would consent to
bt-como responsible lo Spain for the faithful
observance of the conditions of the treaty
between the two countries. The Idea of
this government Is that this agreement could
bo made a part of a new treaty between
the t nlted States and Spain , the necessity
for which Is admitted by both iovernmeiits ;
The Spanish nuthorltlPH , It can bo elated ,
share Ilia feeling strongly entertained In the
I nlted States , that the present treaty has
long on'lived ' Its usefulness. It was ratlflfil
and proclaimed In 1793 nnd bears every evl-
dnm n of Its anllqulty. At ( hat time Klorlda
and IjOtiUlann belonged to Spain and a good
part of the treaty relates to the boundaries
between Iho United States and the Spanish
colonies , which hove now become American
states. The old document has boon added
to from tlmo to tlmo In the form of protocols ,
conventions , etc. , but the original remains
as the basis and main treaty. Not only Is
It antiquated , bill In the lapse of lime dis
agreements have arisen as to the text nnd
at present the version In Spanish used by
the authorities at Madrid Is said to be ma
terially different from that In Ungllsh al
Washington.
So far ns Spain Is concerned there Is rea
son to bcMove she will welcome a new trealy
as a means of scouring changes , which the
present war has shown to bo vital , but will
Insifll on delaying such trealy revision until
Cuba Is paclllcd , In a large measure at
least. The. two main features which Spain
feels the nc l of arranging by treaty are1 ,
first , the naturalization of Spaniards , includ
ing Cubans , after being residents In the
I'nlted States ; and , second , commercial rela
tions Kspcctliig tlm rate of duty and
iniulindrt i'f exchange on the sugar and to
bacco of Cuba end 1'ortn Hlco and on th"
manufaeturod products of the United Stolen
going to the Spanish colonies. The change
as to nalnrall/.atton la rc aidcd as of chief
importance by Spain , which asserts that tlu-
protecllon of Ainnrlcnn citizenship Is infre'-
quontly Invovutl by genuine American citi
zens , but Is used very quickly by persons
who bccnmo nominal American citizens foi
the sake of the protection It afforiH and then
return ( o Cuba , where they lliunce/crth con
tinue lo reside. Spain will seek lo overcome
this by seeking to secure a provision that
, \ Spanish citizens , liu'ludlng Cubans , who
' comp to ( ho United States niuat remain he-re
for thro ? years as actual botia fide citizens
bcforo they can apply for American citizen
ship. It Is sold that under the now treaty
nothing could be ilonu to rcatrlcl Illlbuslfr-
Ing. all' ' ough this has been ono of the most
serious caut > cs of trouble developed by the
war. sine" It Is a subject covered by Inter
national law , rather than by treaty.

WASIIIN'fiTON , Dec. S3. Senator Hale
lias receive 1 a letter from Senator Hoar ,
who Is nbhcnt from the city , announcing his
oppoi'lon to the Cuban resolutions and
asking Senator Hale to place him In any
way thai will "defeat , delay or bring to con-
fnslon" the resolutions reported from the
committee on foreign relations.
Senator HaU > , who Is expected to lead the
opposition to the Cuban resolutions In the
leimtt' . Is preparing for the conflict , which
ho oxpiun to follow the holiday recess. It
Is the general understanding that the ques
tion will be out' of the first to be raHcd aflcr
Iho roi-ouvLMiIng of congress , and U Is looked
forward to as a battle royal.
"The advocates of the resolution. " said
the Mnlnc senator today , "were at first In
clined lo claim a two-thirds majority. I
doubt whether they feel to sanguine now.
nnd 1 am mini they would not If they know
how roi'l'Uy ihe conservative sentiment in
the sennti I. growing.
"I wajrrv to se ? , " the senator contin
ued , "thu I had been quoted ua saying in a
boastful manner that wo should bo able to
dcfe-at t- ! i resolution on n vote. I would
not want to claim that result nt Iho prc nt
tlmo , but I hope far It In the end. In-
dwd. I am receiving assurances from l"flu-
entlal senators every day of sympathy with
the guv * turnout in opposition to the resolu
tion , and I believe the sentiment In the coun
try Is raplJly vccrhiR thai way. Of course ,
there are meetings and resolutions on thu
other slda , but one can gather men together
In udvoe.icy of any cause and get signatures
to almost any kind of petition. My con
tention U that the buslines men and think
ing men of the country are tippled to any
Btep which U llabla lo plunge the country
Into war. In my own state , for Instance ,
thurols only ono prominent newspaper which
ndvocat > s the course ndvlscd by the commit
ted on foreign relations.
" \Vo have Just gene through a campaign
In which wo have promliid jiaaco to tha
country. Is It consistent to prc3ent the In
coming administration with n war on the
threshold of Its existence ? True , there U an
undcslrublu condition of ulfalis In Cuba ; but
I believe the reports are exaggerated. However -
over , it Is true that however cruel ihe con
duct of tha Spaniards , It finds l'i : counter
part In the bravery of the C'UD.IIIS. It In
their way of fighting : they are different from

"U has been Intimated. " suggested the
Associated press reporter with whom Senator
Hulu wes talking , "that you will Illlbimer
to defeat the Cameron resolution In the
ciinlc. "
"No truth whatever In that. " he re-
( pointed. "It will not be necmiary that \vo

WASHINGTON , Dec. 2.1. ( Stiwlal Tele
gram. ) Comptroller Kckles today received n
letter from Deputy ComptrollT Collln , who
Is now In Slous City. Mr. Collln says In
this letter that ho will meet the directors
ai > d stockholders of the Klrat National bank
on Xlonday or Tuesday ncsi , when It Is un
derstood thnt arrangements will be made
by which the bank can be assured of enough
new capital to renew business. Comptroller
Kckles said that unless enough cash Is on
hand to assure the payment of every dollar
of outstanding obligations of the bank he
wTl ! not consent to U reorganization , nnd
thnt ho will await the report of the mooting
bit ween his deputy and the bank oRlclala
before taking any further steps In the mat
ter one wav or the other.
Thcro appars to be some prospect Ihat
the Natl.nal bank of Sioux Palls. S. D. . may
ba reorganized through the cffoita of Ex
aminer Diamond , who Is expected to use hU
Influence toward securing thu rchablllmcnt
of this at pressnt defunct corporation.
The Washington morning newspaper , re
cently having passed lo the control of one
of liryan's most staunch supporters , tills
morning attacked Comptroller Kckles In no
uncertain manner as to his management of
the national banks of the country , and Inti
mated that It would bs a good thing If the
comptroller had not permitted tin- banks
In the west to have failed until nt least
after Mr. McKlnUy left Chicago. It Is Inter
esting lo iioto In this connection that three
of the inofit prominent officers of the National
Hank of Illinois were the firmest of financial
and political barkers of Governor Altgold ,
and that the president of the Institution
w.-.s the only banker In Chicago who openly
espoused the cause of Dryanlsm In the late
election.
Conslderablo opposition Is being shown tea
a bill Introduced by Senator Allen In the
first session of the Fifty-fourth congress , Its
purpose being to change ths survey of cer
tain lands now known as 1'onea reservation
lands. The original survey left the northern
tier of sections short In the rccnilsite num
ber of acres nnd settlers nnd Immigrants
whn they made Ihclr entries knew the
amount of land they were getting. The now
proposition under the Allen bill to revise
the survey making the northern Her full
sections and extending tha survey back
would. In Iho Idea of one of the objectors
to the bill , make n shortage which would
eventually have to bo taken from some of
the other sttllers who entered full sections
and made Improvements Ihercon In good
ralth.

WASHINGTON. Doe. 23. There Is no
longer any doubt that the general arbitra
tion treaty between the United Slates and
Great llrltaln Is practically completed to the
sattafactlon of Irth governments , and thni
Its presentation to congrcsw may bo expected
In the near future. Several minor amend
ments have been accepted and sUKKMied
from time to time during the progress of the
negotiations , but It Is now confidently ao-
sertcd the clear copy , which was forwarded
to Lord Salisbury by Sir Julian t'auneefoto
about a week ago. will at oueo receive tin-
formal approval of Iho Urlllsh premier , and
bo returned to Washington In tlmo to be
presented to the senate for ratification Im.ne-
illately on the rea ucmbllng of congress after
the holiday recess. January u.
As already outlined , exclusively In the
Aasoclated prow dispatches , the life of the
treaty purposely Is made very short only
five years , but this U with the expectation
of a renewal for a longer period If It shall
prove to work well , and alao lo afford easy
opportunity for amendments. It is to dis
pose peaceably and honorably of such ques
tions ns arise belwcen the United Slates and
Great llrltaln , and will not admit of adjust
ment by the ordinary ni.'thnds of diplomacy ,
excluding question Involving the natlnnil
honor. The personnel of Ihe aiMiration
commission Is to be of Ihe highest charac
ter ; men selected from the judiciary of e-aeh
counlry In equal nui-ibera , three from each
side , nnd provision U mn.lo agalnnt a failure
through n tie vote by the bringing In of an
umpire.
Neither the Vene/nelan question nor the
Herlng sea i-sattu are to go before IhU com-
mUslon , but Its first work.probably would be
to clwe up the Alaskan boundary controvoisy
and some other open Issues of minor In
terest , but real Importance. Unlike the
Venezuelan boundary arrangement this treaty
must go to our senate for ratification and
the house of representatives also will have
an opportunity Indirectly to pass Judgment
upon It for legislation will be necessary to
provide the means to maintain the commis
sion. The fate of the project In congress can
only be conjectured at present. Some fear
la expressed thai Ihe Issue made by Seere-
lary Olney over Iho Cuban question may
somewhat Jeopardize this crowning piece of
diplomacy by Inciting criticism , and the
display of III feeling on the part of somesen-
nlois who feel their prorogatecs lu-no been
Invaded. It la known also that other seim- j
tors favorable to the general project of arbl-1
tratlon have peculiar Ideas which they may
attempt to carry out In the form of amend
ments to the treaty. If these are of small
Importance , they may bo accepted by the
executive and by the Ilrltlsh government , but
the whole givat project of a general arbltra-
tlon la one which diplomatIsts feel must bo
entered upon with the greatest caution , and
the agreement , so effected , ha.s been achieved
with such difficulty thai any considerable
departure from the scheme proposed by ihe
amendments probably would lead to the
failure of the Ircaty nnd thus give a formid
able object to the project.

WASHINGTON , Dec. 23. After several j
wccka' consideration of the status of Senor I
