Daily production is down this week by an estimated 800,000 to 1 million... Canada's daily production of heavy oil has been cut nearly in half as a result of the raging wildfire that has turned the Alberta city of Fort McMurray, once the boomtown of the northern Athabasca oil sands, into a ghost town.
The Treaty of Paris of 1898, 30 Stat. 1754, was an agreement made in 1898 that involved Spain relinquishing nearly all of the remaining Spanish Empire, especially Cuba, and ceding Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines to the United States.
Spanish commissioners argued that Manila had surrendered after the armistice and therefore the Philippines could not be demanded as a war conquest, but they eventually yielded because they had no other choice, and the U.S. ultimately paid Spain 20 million dollars for possession of the Philippines. The Treaty specified that Spain would cede to the United States the archipelago known as the Philippine Islands, and comprehending the islands lying within a specified line.
