Spanish Commissioners Talk of Makln0 a partll Treati Parl' XV' 24-The stlon ot ce VJi "ut to be settled until the time named in the American ultimatum has almost The correspondence between Senor Ilios and Judge Day has finally convinced the Spaniards that it would be useless to submit any counter pro posai, an(j that the terms named are the ttermost that the United gutC9 concede. Nevertheless the Span- iards here persist In their determination not to sign the American terms, The Spanish commissioners today are considering the possibility or making a partial treaty, namely, surrendering Cuba and Porto Rico, and declaring themselves helpless to resist American seizure of the Philippines. The object of this idea is that a resumption of hos- tilitles will thus be avoided, while the Reward of Perseverance Comes to Our Undaunted Boys After Seven Unsuccessful Attempts.

I annual unsmreASJtfiil affpmnt fn ti1re I away the Southern football charoplcn- I from the University of Virginia, the University of North Carolina today won the hardest fought battle ever seen on the Virginia Gridiron by a score of 6 to 2. Five thousand people wrtnesd the game and the playing was fast and snappy throughout. Caro lina, under Reynolds' coaching, showed up better than ever before. Their rush line was strong and compact. Though Virginia outweighed them by ten pounds the Tar Heels smashed through for steady gains and kept the Sail in Virginia territory a large part of both halves.

I Johnny Foe's work as Virginia's! coach showed up well in kicking and mass plays, but. the home team was slow at times, and Carolina's only touchdown was made by Howell, after a sensational run of fifty yards, in which he eluded Virginia's tackles and guards and slipped through the whole line. It was the play the day; Gre gory kicked goal, and score of 6 to 0 was made at After that he finish of the first half, Virglnla work tandem hard and depended largely upon heavy mass plays for gains. This helped Uo keep the ball in North Carolina terri- tory, but the kicking and interference of the Tar Heels were features too strong for Virginia. Captairr Collier tried Carolina ends several times, but this failed.

The North Carolinians worked liked tro'ans and the whole team nlaved trojans, anu tne team piajea with unity and precision never before on a Virginia gridiron. Koehler, Howell and Rogers 'did the most bril-! liant work for the visitors. After hard work with the ball in Car olijia territory for half an hour, Vii: a few feet of Carolina's goal when a Carolina player fell on the ball and was forced over the line by one of hi3 own rr.en, giving Virginia safety. Score 6 to 2. Note.

The local rumor that McRae retired from the game on account of a serious injury has no more foundation than the fact tha he sustained a slight sprain of his shoulder, which made it prudent for him to withdraw from the contest. Last night, he was suffering no serious inconvenience from the in- jury. PLAYED IN A SNOW STORM. Sixteen Thousand People Witness the Pennsylvanla-Cornell Some Under Extra ordinary Circumstances.
