Spanish Prisoners Will Prob ably be Released. ATILEAST MAJOR HALE OF GEN ERAL MERRITTS STAFF THINKS SO. PARIS. Dec. 1. The work of the peace commission is proceeding rapid, ly and unless there is an unexpected hitch, the treaty will be signed within a week. The joint session reassmbled at 3 this afternoon. General Wesley Merritt. who arrived yesterday from London was in consul tation with the American commission ers all morning relative to the condi tions and the necessary measures for the Philippine islands. General Mer ritt expects to sail for New York De cember 10 and hopes to resume his du ties in California or New York until hi retirement, 18 months hence. Major Hale of General Merritt's staff, now here, believes the United States, having taken the Philippine islands, will have no trouble in securing the re lease of Spaniards who are held as prisoners by Aguinaldo. The peace commissioners did not hold a Joint session owing to the fact that it is ascertained at 2 p. m. that the preliminary clerical work had not been completed. It was therefore agreed by the president to defer the next meeting until 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. A REPUBLIC DISSOLVED THf UNITED STATES OF CEN TRAL AMERICA NO MORE. WASHINGTON. D.c 1. Minister Merry has reported to the State De partment that the government of Costa Rica has received official notice of the dissolution of the United States of Cen tral America. The success of the revolution in Sal vador and the overthrow of President Gutierrez has led to a meeting of three commissioners who formed the execu tive head of the union, until a president is elected, and a decision was reached to abandon the union, leaving each of the three states forming it Nicaragua. Salvador and Honduras to resume their former status as independent sov ereign nations. SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. L Gen. Thomas Regalado, the head of the rev olutionary movement in Salvador, ha? usurped the presidency and proclaim ed himself chief executive of the re public. Such Is the sensational Information that has been received in this city. The news has been received in a private cipher cable dispatch received by a prominent banker here who has exten sive business in Central America. The statement is added that Aranjo has been appointed general minister and the affairs of the government are now in the hands of the insurrectionists. The news is of the utmost importance for the reason that the success of tht: revolutionary forces prevents the for mation of the Greater Republic of Central America. AS VIEWED IN WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON. Dec. 1. The upris ing in Salvador has reached the di mensions of a revolution in the judg ment of officials and diplomats famil iar with affairs in that Quarter. Pres ident Guiterrez has given way to Gen. ttegalado, who has formed a provis tonal government. The changes are construed by some of them as a death blow to the newly formed republic known as the United States of Central America, composed of Salvador, Nica ragua and Honduras, one of whose main purposes was to provide a joint military force for common defence against uprisings, but other diplomats take just the reverse view. .

'A VAST RAVISHMENT IS WHAT HANNIS TAYLOR CALLS OUR TREATMENT OF SPAIN. NEW TORK, Not. 30. Hannis Tay lor, late American minister to Spain, publishes in the December number of the North American Review a scathing criticism of the work of the American peace commission. Mr. Taylor contends that In the nego. tiations with Spain respecting Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, the members of the commission should have been guided by the precedent es tablished by this country in its dealings with Mexico after the victorious issue of the Mexican war. Then he says we refused, as, Mexico lay helpless at our feet, to take from her a single square mile of territory by right of conquest. Our commissioners were instructed to offed her $15,000,000 in cash and the as sumption upon our part of more than $3,000,000 due from her to American cit izens as compensation for the area out of which has been carved California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah and New Mex ico. "And thus," says Mr. Taylor, "was established a new principle of moral law which stands alone perhaps in the annals of nations." Mr. Taylor contends that now, when for the first time since the conquest of Mexico, we have another vanquished nation at our feet, we owe to Spain all the consideration and justice that can be due to the weak from the strong, es pecially as Spain has been an old and a good friend, with whom we had never before broken off diplomatic re lations. The arrangement which has been concluded by the American commis sion, Mr. Taylor characterizes as "a vast ravishment," We have refused arbitration. We have summarily demanded the surren der of the entire Philippine archipelago and as a salve to Spain we have ten dered $20,000,000. "The war has cost us directly about $165,000,000 andas compensation for that outlay we have appropriated Porto Rico, which can hardly be valued at much less than double that amount. It is difficult to understnd, thereforet why in dealing with Cuba and the Philip pines we should have been unwilling to recognize those reasonable and natural equities which follow acquired terri tory. "In the case of the Philippines -re have admitted that so far as the debts of these islands represent expenditures for the improvement of the country they must 'run with the land' and con stitute a charge upon it. ITpon what grounds have we rejected the applica tion of that elementary principle of law and common honesty to the case of Cuba? The pretense that it cannot be there applied because we do not intend to accept sovereiamty over Cuba will not avail, for as soon as Cuba is evac uatedUby the Spanish troops the Uniced States will exercise a qualified sover eignty over the island and bring a mil itary government there and riaidly en force all laws for the purpose of collect ing revenue, both external and inter nal, a condition which must exist until Congress ordersotherwise. In fSe cas -of Cuba, as well as in that of the Phil ippines the amount of pacific expendi tures made by Spain for the perma nent improvement of the island should have been recognized as a legal char go upon It." GIVING AWAY MONEY. Strange 'Lunacy of a Man in New York. NEW YORK, Nov. 30. As if they were snowflakes and he owned a bliz zard, a man gave away twenty an J fifty dollar bills in the Battery Park yesterday. A hungry, grasping crowd of Battery boatmen, laborers and hoboes of the park gathered about him. They grab bed eagerly the big bills dea'.t out by the mysterious stranger. "Take them, take my mony," the man said. "I am rich- you are poor. I im richer, than the Vanderbilts, and what I give, I give freely." Men fought for his wealth. The supply of twenty and fifty dollar greenbacks seemed inexhaustible. In his hand the philanthropist ;.eld a large roll of bills, and from hi3 pockets he produced others. A policeman arrested the man with the money. The philanthropist was ag grieved. "I have done nothing," he said. "These are poor men, and I am merely giving my money to the poor." At the station house he was booked as Insane. In his possession were bills amounting to $1645. FRANCE PROHIBITS. No Fruit or Plants From the United States. PARIS. Dec. 1. The Journal officially today publishes a decree forbidding the admittance into France of fruit and plants from the United States.

Thiebaut, had ad vised Secretary Hay that the Frencn government was upon the point of adopting "precautionary measures" against the introduction into France from the United States of the San Jose scale, adding that decrees would be issued prohibiting imported trees, .shrubs and plants from the United States and requiring inspection of ali fruits, fresh and dried, at port. M. Thiebaut pointed out that these measures were quite immaterial as af fecting general trade from the United States to France as the shipment of trees, plants and shrubs last year ag gregated only $328, and those of fruit $40,000.

SENATOR QUAY TO STAND TRIAL The Judge Overrules All Mo tions of Counsel. The Date of Trial is Set for December 6. THE PENNSYLVANIA BOSS MUST VINDICATE HIMSELF BE FORE A JURY. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1. In the Court of Quarter Sessions today in the conspiracy case of United States Sena tor Quay and others, Judge Findlay dismissed all the motions entered by defendant's counsel against the five in. dictments found by the grand Jury and fixed December 6th as the date for be ginning the trial.

The Navy Department has made public a report from Admiral Sampson covering the operations of the United States block ading fleet off Santiago after the de struction of Cervera's squadron. The report begins with a dispatch dated July 15, on the flagship Ne York, and winds up with one from the same flagship dated Guantanamo, Au gust 4. In the first report Admiral Samp son tells of the demonstration made against Aguadores by the Michigan troops under Duffield, the point ol which was that as soon as the ships took part in the firing the Spaniards disappeared. He says that the bombardment of Santiago on the second of July served no particular end because Shatter s at tack had been postponed, lie quotes dispatches from himseif to Shatter, stating that it is impossible to force au entrance to the harbor until the mines had been removed and that work coulu be accomplished only after the troops had taken the forts. Shatter replied that he could not tell when he could take the batteries. If they were as dif ficult as those against which he was pitted it would take some time and a great loss of life. He says: "1 am at a loss to see why .the navy cannot work under a destructive tire as well as the army. .My loss yesterday was over 500 men. Hy all means keep up fire on everything in sight until demolished. I expect, however, with time and suffi cient men, to capture the forts along the bay." An hour later, on the same day, July 2, Shatter again appealed to Sainpsou to immediately force the harbor en trance, so as to avoid future loss among his men, already very heavy. Says he: "You can operate with less loss of life than 1 can." In reply on the same day Admiral Sampson pointed out that the channel of the harbor was well strewn with mines which would certainly result in the sinking of one or more of his ships if he attempted to enter the harbor and that by striking one the harbor would be blocked against the entrance of the others. He had hoped that Shatter would take the batteries from the rear so that he might drag for the torpe does, but if it was fehafter's earnest desire that he should rwce. the en trance he would perpare to undertakt it, thinking, however, that the position, of both army and navy would be made more difficult if they failed in the at tempt. He promised to use mines ai Guantanamo to counter-mine those ai Santiago, which would consume con siderable time. Sampson says: "It is not so much the loss of men as it is the loss of ships which have until novi deterred me from making a direct at tack upon the ships within the port." IMMENSE CONTRACT.
