MOST PbIMATED Wae llie SiMy of Peace Commissioners .Yesterdaij. DDKS ARE TREACHEROUS.* They Would Depart From the Terms of the Protocol. Paris, Oct. 13. —The sitting yesterday of the joint peace commissions of the United States and Spain were devoted, according to the Gauloia. to an examination of tlie solution which it is possible to give to two questions in the protocol. The Philippine question, the Gauloia adds, was discussed in cidentally, the United States commissioners seeking to im pose a system of compensation for claims connected with the entire group by assuming the debt, provided Spain guarantees the Cuban debt. The Spaniards, it ’further ap pears, wish the United States to assume the Cuban debt and to hand over to Spain all the ma terial in Cuba and Porto Rico. Hie discussion, according to the Gauloia, was very animated. Judge Day, the president of the American commission, and Se nor Montero Rios, the president of Rhe Spanish commission having received precise instruc tions from their respective governments, the Americans consider that they cannot dis cuss the principles forming the base of the protocol, to which the Spanish commissioners re ply that the protocol was signed ata critical moment and under a pressing necessity ; that it can not be considered as expressing the free will of a free nation. The American peace commis sion at 5 o’clock today engaged in its first function outside of purely diplomatic lines. The Figaro entertained the members of both commissions with a stage performance, in which Coquelin, Loie Fuller and others took part. The occasion was informal and pleasing. Another Painful Impression. drid, Oct. 13.—The ru mors which have been published as to the attitude of the United States peace commissioners are described as having caused a painful impression, especially the reported decision of the American commissioners not to recognize the Cuban and Porto Rican debts.

SPUNKY REPLY. —— ll— itlay 3e Made to England on Faslioda ARBITRATION SUGGESTED A Report Is Expected From Marchand In a Few Days. Paris, Oct. 13 —According to La Libre Parole, Foreign Minister Delcass has baen informed that his telegram to Major Marchand, asking for a report regarding bis position at Fasnoda, has been de livered and tl e report should ar rive in Paris on Cot. 10. Th* paper suggests that France’s best reply to England would be to ask for an international conference to settle the Egyptian question. The E’Clair declares the French people are on there mettle and will under no pretext permit a re treat pure and simple. “We should remain at Fasho da,” the paper declares, “notwith standing the threats of the British Cabinet.” The Siecle pointing out, that he fact that the only way of com luunicatiug with Marchand .is through British intermediary, shows Marchand’s real position, and add>: “France will gain nothing by opposing the British project of uniting the Caj e Colony and Egypt.” A prominent French diplomat is q.i.'*ed in Gaulois as saying: • > •iktissia is with us and Emper or William’s abandonment of his Egyptian tour shows his desire not to com plicate matters Let us have a well-defined policy and England will then be compelled to speak., plain’y. ” England i = said to have' with held her ultimatum.
