Paris Papers Fix Terms of Peace.
Paris, Oetol.er 12.- The American peace
commission held a session today, but, as
usual, the subjects under consideration
were n q disclosed.
According to the Gaulols, the joint sit
ting yesterday of thu peace comm!: ..lon
wi.s d< t oted to an ex.imlnation of the solu
tion which it i.s possible to give io two
q’lc ■•. ions In the protoecl.
The I’hilippim question, Tho Gaulols
adds, was di cussed Incidentally, the Unit
ed States ; ..iking to hnpt>se systems of
compensations, under which the Tailed
States would claim, it Is said, the entire
group of the Philippine islands and assume
tb.eir debt, provided Spain guarantees the
Cuban debt. As to the Spaniards, it. fur
ther appears, they would like the United
States to assume the Cuban debt ami to
surrender to Spain ail the war material In
Cuba and Tot to Rico.
Tlie discussion among the commissioners
| yesterday, still according to The G.iulois,
‘ was animated. Judge I’ay, the je-i sident
of the American commission, and S a■:
Monlero Rios, the president of the Span
ish commission, having receA'cd precise
instructions from their respe.' ,i\ ■■ gov
ernments, the American commissioners
consider that no d.scussion is possible on
tho principles tln'tn.n.'lves, which, in a cer
tain measure, serve as the b sis oi
protocol. This first preliminary, accord
ing to them, while be ng merely of • pro
visional nature, should be rigorously ob
served. They add:
“When Spain was ovi rtnrm d at tho e in
clusion of peoee. her t «■ r In Cuba was
crushed absolutely, and in consequence.
Spain no longer him the right to oeeui.y
herself about the destiny of the Antilles
Islands."
To these arguments the Spaniards, Tho
G.allots also says, reply that the proto
col was signed at a moment so crith il
that :a tho ■' i.-o of imperious :i.*ces-i. y
; that it cannot he considered as being grat-
I Irbil by th" sovereign free wish of the
nation In this fact they colle lud ex-
ists a sutiicient i-eai-on to al lew of their
r. .t-.ii‘"i i tnnee as definite tho prelim.m: ry
c.giventioi*." relating to Cuba.
■'The arrival, therefore, at. an under
standing,” i-ays Tho Gaulols, "offers grave
d lie tilt les, and one asks with anx how
til * uegotiatl.ms will eventually t* iminato.”
In diplomatic, circles hero It Is declared
