Two week? ago when the Philip

began to count the cost of such an
action and to estimate contingen

Ther.'itilt was a hidden but

many not only withdrew h r ob
jection to the American demands,
but actually urged Spain to suo

tributed to wish not to wound
American feelings.

ACCEPTANCE INDICATED.
Even Then the Session Wil 1 be
Indefinitely Extended,
Paris, Nov. 25.—The Span
ish commissioners at noon today
had not fixed upon the day to
submit their final answer to the
American propositions, but it is
deemed most likely that tomor
row will be the day appointed.
The opinion gains ground
that the Spaniards will accept
the proposals of the United
States.
A significant indication of
this view of the situation was a
remark dropped by Senor Abar
uza, of the Spanish commission!
today that they expected to re
main here about a fortnight
longer. The Secretary of the
Spanish commission, Senor Oj
eda, said today that the instruc
tions from Madrid were not suf
ficiently matured to enable them
to appoint the next meeting.
The correspondent of the As
sociated Press asked Senor
Abaruza today if the commis
sions would be able to leave
Paris next week with the treaty,
and he replied, with a side long
glance, as though to observe
whether his questioner noticed 1
the significance of the reply :
“I suppose we shall be here
for another fortnight.”
“Why,” the Spanish com
missioner was asked, “is the
opinion expresse Iso emphati
cally by a portion of the Paris
press that you will decline the
$20,000,000, but will sign the
treaty with a protest that you
will do so only under the pres
sure of superior power?'’
‘•Well, it does seem that S2O,
000,000 is not very satisfactory,”
was the semi-evasive manner in
which the Spanish diplomat an
swered the question.
lljs questioner continued :
“ITisti it has been affirmed
that Spain will refuse to sign
the treaty, decline the money
offered and make a protest to
the powers, and that her com
missioners will go home. Is that
the most likely result?”
“Ah! but we should not an
ticipate ; we know day by day
what happens day by day,” he
replied.
“And so you a fort
night more of daily develop
ments here?” asked the inter
viewer,
“Ab, yes. A fortnight. Per
haps some aff'.irs may be attend
ed to in that time.”
The United States peace com
missioners were the guests of
Whitelaw Reid at a Thanksgiv
ing Day luncheon at the hotel
yesterday.
The Petite Blue reaffirms to
day as a certainty that the
Spanish commissioners will re
fuse the American offer of $20,-
000,000 for a treaty cession of
the Philippines,
