Pabis, Nov. 21. The Spanish and American peace commissions
met in joiot session at 2 o'clock this , afternoon. The Americans de
clared they must have the entire Philippine archipelago, and asked
for a treaty cession of the inlands. The Americans tendered to Spam
$20,000,000. It is further declared it is the purpose of the United
States to maintain the Philippine islands as an "open door" to the
world's commeice. v
On the terms named, the United States proposes the mutual re
linquishment of all olaims for indemnity, national or personal, subse
quent to the outbreak of the last Cuban insurrection.
; November 28th is fixed as the date on which the United Btates
commission desired a definite response to today's propositions, and all
other subjects at issue.
It is also declared the United States desires to treat on the re
ligious freedom of the Caroline islands as agreed upon between the
United States and Spain in 1886, and also the acquisition of one of the
Caroline islands for an American naval station, and of cable-landing
rights at other places in Spanish jurisdiction and revival of oertain
Spanish-American treaties as heretofore in force.
The Americans also refuse to arbitrate article 3 of the peaoe pro
tocol, bearing upon the future disposition and control of the Philippine
islands. ... w...t - ' ' -'
The meeting then adjourned until Wednesday. '
The memorandum of the American commission embodying th '
above proposition is long, and was not read in full. The vital portions,
however, were communicated verbally to the Spanish commissioner! :
in practically these terms: The fact was cited that the proposal pre
sented by the American commissioners on behalf of the government .
for the cession of the Philippines to the United States having been re
jected by the Spanish commissioners and a counter proposal of the'
latter for the withdrawal of the Americans from the islands and pay.
ment of an indemnity by the United States to Spain having been re
jected by the Americans, the latter deeming it essential that present 1
negotiations, already greatly protracted, should be brought to an earlyT
definite conclusion, now beggad to present a new proposition embody-' 1
ing the cession which for the sake of peaoe their government would be
under the circumstances willing to tender. ' f
. The governmsnt of the United States is unable to modify the pro. ' !
posal heretofore made for the cession of the entire archipelago of the'"'
Philippines, but the Amerloan commission is authorised to offer to !
Spain, in case the cession should be agreed to, $20,000,000, to be paid
in accordance with the terms of the treaty of peaoe. It being the policy
of the United States to maintain in the Philippines an open door to the 3
world's commerce, the American commissioners are prepared to insert
in the treaty, now in contemplation, a stipulation that for a term of I
years Spanish ships and merchandise shall be admitted into Philippine
porta on the same terms as American ships and merchandise. -
The American commissioners are also authorized to insert in the ; ,
treaty a provision for the mutual relinquishment of all claims for t
indemnity, national and individual, of every kind of the United Stated r
against Spain, and Spain against the United States, that may have . '
arisen since the beginning of the Cuban insurrection and prior to the
conclusion of the treaty of peace. ;
Next followed the terms nearest approaching a formal ultimatum t
to Spain. The United States commissioners expressed the hope that ;
they might receive from the Spanish commissioners on or before Mon- . '
day, the 28th inst, a definite and final aooeptanoe of the proposals1
made as to the Philippines in connection also with demands as to
Cuba, Porto liico and other Spanish islands of the West Indies, and

ment of the breaking off of peace negotiations, made the following '
statement as to the effect of the discontinuation of negotiations: ''
"The action of the Spanish commissioners will not affect the pur.
pose of the American government Our government will still assert l
precisely what it has claimed, and it will proceed to carry these claims ' '
into exeoution. Idon t believe there will be Bny concession on one, ' "
and that is the American side, nor actual resistenoe on the other. It
will simply remain for the American government to hold what it has 1
proposed to hold, for it is now Drastically in possession, and all that "
remains is to make this possession an aotual fact"
