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.
U.S. victory in the war produced a peace treaty that compelled the Spanish to relinquish claims on Cuba, and to cede sovereignty over Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines to the United States. The United States also annexed the independent state of Hawaii during the conflict. Thus, the war enabled the United States to establish its predominance in the Caribbean region and to pursue its strategic and economic interests in Asia.
