At the meeting of the lace commiioion today the Americkns were removing their wraps wheu the Spaniards entered the anteroom and polite and cordial greetings were ex changed as the two groups, comroinie ling, pasiied through the grand salon, where a buffet was spread, and entered the conference chamber, in which, be fore leaving, the Spaniards would learn the attidude of the United States toward the Philippines. The bpanish commissioners took their sccasiomed place at the historic table, the afternoon light lull lo their faces, while the Americans ranged themselves opposite with their backs to the light, and with the interpreter standing at the end ol the table, on the right of Judge Day and the left of Beaut Montero Rios, and between the two secretaries, Mr. Moore and lienor Ojed. Secretary Moore, npon the request of Judge Day, passed to Mr. Ferguson, the Interpreter, the formulated demands of the United States regarding the Philip pine which were read to the Spaniards in their own tongue, by a rspid render ing from the English, in which they were written. Although the Spanish commissioners did not betray anxiety, their attention to the reading was keen. They had anticipated that the United States would take over the islands, but the terms snd details of the transfer had all along been a subject of speculation. The i e tiling disclosed the fact that the United States government had deter mined to posfess for itself certain ter ritory and parts of land bounded by and lying within such parallel of latitude and longitude as mark the limit of the Philippine archipelago. The United States does not propone assuming the Philippine debt of $40,000,000, bid it is willing to be lesponsible to Spain for a sum of money equal to ' the actual ex penditure by Spain in the Philippines (or the advantage of the islands, and for the good of their people, for permanent betterments and for lmpiovements, botb physical and mental. The reading of the presentment peel fit that the Coiled 8tates will reim burse Spain to tbe extent pf her "pacific expenditures," made in the archipelago. This phrase, "pacific expenditures," is employed to differentiate tbe expendi tures by Spain In combatting insurrec tions in the Philippines. Tbe one is felt by the coramiisioners to be a fair burden on the acquiring power, while tbe olber and latter class expenditures Is beld to have been logi cally assumed by Spain in the inevitable hatard to a nation resorting to arms to enforce order in its own territory. Such is the vital portion of the present ment made by the American commis sioners today, and it is to he observed that while the main proposition as to possession and financial responsibility is clear and definite, many details have been left to tbe developments of the discussions between the two commis sions. Thus, while the Spaniards are tonight quite certain that tbe United States intends to reimburse them for pacific expenditures'' they remark that they are not enligbteued as to whether the Americans expect to indorse the Spanish obligations to the extent of pacific expenditures" in tbe archipel ago, or whether they will band Spain a lump sum of gold large enough, to cover Spain's outlay so designated. Possibly tbe American commissioners themselves are not at this moment fully determined on this point. It is unlikely, however, that the Americans will care to become identified in the slightest degree with Spain in her re sponsibilities to her creditors. The clearer method seems to be to hand to Spain spot cash, or something as good, and to bid her apply it on her debts by whatever name known, or to put it in ber wallet for whatever use Bhe may elect. While the United States bas designated "paciflo expenditures" as those they will reimburse to Spain, the present ment of the American commissioners today did not demand either a schedule or an inventory ot the same from the Spaniards. But the suggestion naturally raises an inquiry as to the kind and quantity of Spain's "pacific expendi tures" in the Philippines, and some light may be gtven on that matter now. There is considerable traffic between the islands, and some time ago a system of lighthouses became necessary. Spain set out to supply this, and projected 48 light-stations. Of these the has already constructed 17 of tbe first class, and 16 of the second class. What they cost is not yet known here, but In American waters those of the first-class cost from 25,000 to 2.'jO,0X) each, so that, on an average basis of the minimum cost in the United States, Span's 33 lighthouies may represent an outlay of 823,0O0. Spain has constructed breakwaters at Manila, at an expense not yet known here, and wharves of small value along the Pastg river. She recently built bar racks for 24,000 men, now occupied by American troops, and tbe cost of which is not yet ascertained . At Cavite, Spain had built a naval station, wbicb, before it was sacked by the natives, was said to be equsl to the Msre island station, and maybe worth $2,500,000. Whether or not the last two items can be strictly designated "pacific expenditures" roust be determined in conferences, but tbe lighthouses, water improvements, ber racks and naval station are necessary to the United States as the owner of tbe Philippines, and are deemed worth a fair price. Spain has also built some school honses, which tbe Americans are willing to take over at coat. The Spanish commissioners listened attentively, though not without some evidences of impatience and surprise at tbe financial suggestions in the Ameri can presentment, and finally asked un til Friday to consult the Madrid govern ment and make reply. Adjournment was then taken to that day. After tbe conference was dissolved, tbe Spanish commissioners expressed tbe opinion that the American demands would create in Spain, as they had npon ber commissioners, an exceedingly grave Impression, Were the Spanish commis sioners pushed to final determination to night they would reject the American de mands, but the changing tone of tbe Spaiiish press recently urges tbe con summation of a treaty of peace, bow ever rigorous, tbe argument being tbat although the Spaniards bow to the American demands, the commissioners do net acknowledge the justice or admit the legality of them. Tonight the Spanish commissioners feel that the United States to all intents and purposes bas not offered any finan cial inducement to Spain to cede by treaty any part ot the Philippines. Had the American commissioners even offered to take over the entire Philippine debt of about 140,000,000,. tLe Spaniards affect to feel that it would have been as nothing, and they - n-gr4 todays poei- tion so meager as not to warrant even a schedule pf Spain's "pacific expendi tures" in tbe archipelago. Bpala Will Pratvat. Madrid, Oct. 31. The newt that tbe Spanish peace coinmiasionere at Pari had referred to tbe government tbe for mal demand of tbe American commis sioners for the absolute cession of the en tire Philippine group caused the great est surprise in Madrid. The strongest feeling prevails that the government should protest energetically against what is regarded as a violation of the spirit of the protocol. Bahtmqo, Oct. 31. Senor Bartolomew Masso, president of the Cuban provisi onal administrative council, has issued an address to the delegates now at the military assembly at Santa Crux del Sur, in which he reviews the considerations npon which the Cubans solicited the help of the United States and indicates their wishes of future policy. The ad dress In part is as follows : "The Cubans accepted the assistance of America, although not knowing ex actly what were the Americans' aims, just as they would have accepted help from any country in their tight against Spain. As the contest progressed, the Cubans in the field were gratified to hear of A solemn declaration by the United States congress regarding the in tentions of the American government, and the path it would follow in the Spanish-American war. "The Americans came to our help to compel Spain to relinquish her sover eignty over Cuba, in order that the Cu bans themselves might be placed as promptly as possible in possession of tbe island, might assume the adminis tration of its affairs and haye a govern ment of its own. Therefore the Cubans agreed to co-operate with the Americans and obey the orders issued by the Amer ican generals, and to help in all possible ways to establish a Cuban government when tbe Americans took possession. Though America did not recognize tbe government of the Cubans, it was well understood that the Cubans would not, on that account, abandon tbeirorgani sation, but that, on the ether hand, the time would come when such recognition would be granted. Indeed, it was as serted to our Cuban representees by one of the most distinguished members of the United States government, and al so by the members of the United States senate, that, in order to do away with any obstacle that might hinder the United States in going into tbe fight for the csuse of Cuban independence, recog nition of a Cuban government must come later. "Nevertheless, it has not baen pojai . ble to establish direct relations between the Cuban and American government) for tbe transaction of public business al though tbe general character of our rela tions throughout the war were friendly. But we have now reached a time when, een more than In the days of Uniting, it is incumbent npon all Cubans to show true patriotism, and, while making every expression of gratitude to Amer ica for having given Cuba freedom and independence, to make prompt arrange ments for paying off Cubans now in arms and for getting the country into working order." IX LINK WITH I3STBCCTIOXS. ComnalMloBars at Paris Art Carrlag Oat tbaWUb ot th AdmUlatraHoa. Wasuixotom, Oct 31. Advices from Paris to the effect tbat the United State commissioners demanded cession to the United States of the entire Piiippine group is in line with Instructions that have been issued to representatives of the United State. It cannot be learned definitely what money consideration is to pass with the title to the Philippines ; indeed, there is reason to believe tbat even the United States peace commis sioners bavs not yet been able to fix the amount exactly. Assuming they are to repudiate all portions of the debt of tbe islands, which do not represent money spent for the betterment of the islands, it will be seen at once that the task pre sented to the commissioners of differen tiating this debt is not an easy on, par ticularly in view of the notoriously bad financial methods of the Spanish colonial system. It is said at the department that the Uuiied States must assume some of this debt it annexation is to follow. PRESIDENT'S PBOCLAH ATION. Thuradajr, No. t4, act aside for Thank tiring and prajra-r. Washington, Oct. 28.
