PARIS, December 10.-Tho treaty of peace was signed at 8.45 this evening, rho signing of the treaty to-night would havo altprnod a subject for a great his torical painting. Tho group gathered the foroignoffice was impressive in itself, whilo tho fact that tho sense of the momentousness of the issuo which thc act decided was deeply felt by all tho participants, gavo impressive and BOlomii tono to tho scone. Around tho great mahogany table sat tho ton arbiters of tho (lest i nies of an old and a young nation. Ranged standing behind them wen. numerous attaches tit tho American commission. Tho jets from tho crystal chandeliers above tho heads of thoso present magnified the brilliant greon and scarlet of tho uphol stering into gaudiness. Thoro was a theatrical contrast botwoon tho black clothed actors and tho scenery. To tho Americans it was a happy muling of tho opiloguo of war; for tho Spaniards it was plainly a bitter tragedy, none tho loss painful because long forsocn. SPANIAHIIS ALMOST Oltl'811 KI). They sat silently, as though almost crushed, and none could withhold sym pathy from Senor Montero Rios, tho presi dent of the Spanish commission, who, coming from his bed, was bundled in a groat ovorcoat, although logs woro burn ing in tho fireplace near-by. Tho spirits of tho two bodies were sym bolized by Hie clothes worn by tho mem ber?,of tho com missions, for tho Ameri cans woro attired in evening dress, for tho dinner givon them immediately after tho mooting by tho Due Do Loubnt, and tho Spaniards woro black frock coats. Although tho commissioners mot at half-past ;? o'clock, expecting to finish their work in half an hour, the engross ing of tho treaty on parchment was found to bo so troublesome that it dolaycd the signing of tho document until 8.20, Chief Martin, of tho American commis sion, worked all day, without oven stop ping to cat. IN nOTII ?.ANOUAOK8. Whon ho came into the chamber at 7..'J0, with tho document, he found the commissioners waiting. Tho Spanish copy had arrived a half hour earlier. Mr. Arthur Ferguson then proceeded lo read, lirst the English and after (hat tho Spanish version of tho treaty. This lin isnod, two copies woro passed around tho table, the commissioners signing them in the order of their rank. William B. Day, Senator Cushman K. Davis, Senator William P. Prye, White law Reid and Senator George Gray ; Senor Montoro Bios, Senor Abarzuza, Senor C?rnica, Senor Villanrutia and Con. Cer ero y Saon?, each commission signing its opponent's treaty. Both woro tied with Spanish and American colors. When tho seals wcro prepared to bo affixed, attendants woro sent scurrying for ribbons of tho French tri color, with which tho documents woro sealed as a compliment to tho Fronoh hosts of tho commissions. A ll AN Dsn A K K AI,I, HOUND. Many oflicials interestedly watched ovory detail of tho proceeding. The last seal was impressed, tho commissioners rose, and without formality each member shook the hands of all his antagonists ami exchanged assurances of sincere per sonal esteem. Tho Spaniards afterward commented acridly upon what they tormcd tho bad tasfo of the Americans in mustering aorowd of attaches to gloat over tho consummation of their downfall and to scramble for relics. Tho signing was finished at 8.-?5. At that time the door of the chamber opened, and "Sonor Villanrutia appeared and ex claimed to a group of correspondents who woro waiting in the corridor: "(Vest fini I" The other members of tho Span ish commission followed Sonor Villanru tia and passed silently through tho ves tibule to their waiting carriages. The Amorloan commission stn. '"d out, chat tol ing complacently and as tho) deconded tho stops tho lights in tho chamber were darkened. Tho treaty as signed consisted of seventeen articles, it having been found advisable to subdivide two or three of tho artic'os in tho draft agreed upon at the last mooting. TWO COPI KR OT TI1K Tit K AT V. Tho commissioners of tho two nations wroto their signatures on two copies of tho treaty, ono copy being for tho archives. Tho document was prepared by Secre tary Mooro in behalf of the United States Kommission, und by Senor Villanrutia for Spain, on account of tho contlmied illness of Soorotary OJoda, of the Spanish commission. Each copy contained tho English and Spanish texts of the treaty in parallel columns. Tho wording had been approved previously hy tho commissions without a Joint meeting, so thoro was no contro versy on this subjoot. There has boon a great contest among the families and friends of tho American Commissioners for possession of tho pens with willoh tho signatures to the treaty wore writton.
