America Will Likely take All fthe
I'hlllpplDM, but are Hilling U
Keeontpt-Dite fpaln.
Pasie, Oct. 31. 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.

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."

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.
