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.
On July 25, 1898, during the SpanishâAmerican War, the U.S. invaded Puerto Rico with a landing at GuÃ¡nica. As an outcome of the war, Spain ceded Puerto Rico, along with the Philippines and Guam, then under Spanish sovereignty, to the U.S. under the Treaty of Paris. Spain relinquished sovereignty over Cuba, but did not cede it to the U.S. Later, Cuba became independent.
