SPAIN.
Arbitration of Philippine Question
Seems Closed.
Jl
AGDINALDO STILL HOLDS HIS
PRISONERS
Spain Disposed to Insist on Reservation of Her
Philippine Sovereignty, and the Right to Ar
bitrate Construction of Protocol. Presi
dent McKinley Determined. The
Philippine Insurgents Defy Our
Military Forces.
Paris, Nov. 17, At the daily session of the American peace com
missioners, the SpaDish memorandum presented at yesterday's joint
session was up for consideration. No unofficial person knows the con
touts of the document, but it is safe to assume that, added to her in
sistecne on the reservation of her Philippine sovereignty and her pro
position to arbitrate the construction of the third article of the protocol,
Spain has made two other important statements:
First, that on the high ground of financial probity she cannot
allow any discussion here of the validity of her actiou ia pledging the
resources of the Philippines far the payment of tbe Philippine debt.
Second, that in connection with the American proposal to reim
burse Spain for her pacific expenditures in the Philippines, she can
not admit of auy itquiry as to how she spent the proceeds of the loans
based on Philippine pledges.
If Spain has assumed this attitude, and it is believed she has done
so, she practically compels the American commissioners to consider at
least the entire Philippine debt and its assumption by the United
States. '
It is difficult to understand how the Americans can reply to this
in any other manner than by outlining their position and giving the
Spanish a time limit in which to accept the propositions of the United
States,
Washington, Nov. 17. The administration feels encouraged over
he outlook for a successful termination of the labors of the peace
'commissioners in Paris. Whether this renewod confidence is based
upon the abstract of the Spanish, reply which was submitted at yester
day's meeting, or is founded upon private advices indicating a weak- 1
ness of the Spanish position, ia not known, but it is probable both of
these influences contribute to the brightening of prospects.
The Spanish reply was so surprise to American commissioneru,
who in faot had prepared themselves ! in advance, with instructions re-'
ceived directly from the president and Secretary Hay, for a complete "
answer.
The attempt of the Spanish commissioners to induce the Ameri
cans to adopt their construction of the meaning of the protocol where -it
touches on the. Philippines has been a flat failure. The president
himself was a party to the preparation of the protocol. It was he who,
suspectiug the purpose of the Spanish side to becloud the issue and
leave an open door for future esoape from the consequences of the
war, had swept aside as so much cluff the message of the Snaninh a
duke, Almadovar de Bios, and rednoiug the demands of the United
States. Having made the document j the president believes himself .
to be the person best competent to construe its meaning, and the
American commissioners are consequently acting in conformity with a
his views.
Manila, Nov. 1G. General Otis, the commander of tliA Am ATI Ann
forces, recently proposed to Aguinaldo that he release the friars and
civilians held in captivity throughout the provinces. The insurgent
leader denied their maltreatment, and refused to release them, claim.
ing that the civilians had enlisted as volunteers, and, therefore, were
legitimate prisoners of war. Aguinaldo also denied that women and
children were detained, but said some women and children had volnn.
tarily accompaiued their husbands and fathers into captivity.
As to the friars, Aguinaldo argues that they are prohibited by the
pope from accepting parochial appointments; that they are only per
mitted to follow monastic lives and that the parishes are entrusted to
members of the independent monastic orders. But, he added, the
Philippine clericals have deliberately and systematically deceived the
pope, pretending that the oountry was barbarous, unfit for the retmlar
ministers, and that it was neoessary that the monastic orders should
administer tue parishes. Therefore.! Acuinaldo continued, ha con.
sidored it necessary to detain the friars until the pope is undeoeived.
i ue BpauiBli papers here assert that a sanguinary mutiny has
taken place on board thehsteamsip Bernardino, and that the native
crew massacred the Spanish officers. These papers also appeal to the
United States to control the natives.
Advices from Iloilo say the natives of that citv distrusts Apninnlrln
and want American domination.
Washington, Not. 16. The acquisition of an island in the Caro
line group, owned by Spain, will be part of the work of the Pari
peace commission.
Cable communications between the United States and Manila via.
llonolula is regarded as desirable, should we occupy the islands, and
Guam island, in the Ladrone group, and one of the Caroline islands
would be useful as Intermediary stations. The acquisition of one of
the Caroline islands, considered suitable for a c-ible station, which In
volves a money consideration and the -United HtateB will pay Spain 8,
reasonable pricQ for its relinquishment. " . . .'
