SPAIN AND AMERICA
THE PEACE TREATY
RATIFIED.
INTENSE EXCITEMENT IN THE
STATES.
WASHINGTON, February 7,
The Senate ratified the peace treaty by 57 votes to 27 votes. There were two doubtful votes. The recent attack by the Filipinos on Manila practically decided the question.
Senator Gorman predicted the war would last for years.
There is intense public excitement throughout America.
[As we stated in our leading article in last night's issue a two-thirds majority of the Senate was necessary to ratify the treaty. It will be seen by to-day's cable that this majority was barely obtained.]
