Havana Oct. 4.-(Delayed in transmits
sion).--At the joint session this morning
of the United States and Spanish mill
tary commissioners, the Spaniards, ac-
cording to a report, declared it was impos-
sible to evacuate the island Immediately,
while the American commissioners insist
ed that their Instructions called for an
immediate evacuation. After two hours
conference on the subject the joint com
missions were unable to reach any definite
agreement.
The American commissioners, on their
return to headquarters at the Trocha Ho-
tel Vedado, were busily engaged In trans
lating the stenographers notes and In
sending code messages to Washington

RETENTION OF PHILIPPINES.
Gen. Merritt said to Favor Their
Possession ns IL whole.

as ~ w
Paris Oct. 5-The United States Peace
Commission held its usual session from
10 a. m. to p. m.
The commissioners continued the confer
ence with Maj. Gen. Merritt, and practi-
cally concluded an extended canvass OF
the Philippine situation
Nothing could be learned as to whether
the general or Admirar Dewey had recon-
mended the retention or the evacuation
of the Philippine Islands by the American
forces. But 1t developed that Admiral
Dewey handed Gen. Merritt a communi-
cation setting forth his judgment on the
subject, and that the general submitted
this to the commission, with reports from
the American military officers at Manila
touching on the condition prevailing in
the island.
(. Gen. Merritt concluded with declaration
Of his Judgment in the matter and 1t may
be said that he arrived In Paris hoping
the United States commission would press
for the possession of the Philippine archi-
pelago.
1t is also true that the disposition of the
troops in the Philippine islands, before
Gen. Merritt's departure, was such and
was so ordered as to warrant the view
that a large or complete holding of the
Philippine Islands by the United States
was contemplated.

PARIS PEACE COMMISSIONERS.
Work Has Not Progressed Far
Enough 10 Predict the Outcome.

Washington. Oct. BIT can be stated
lished relating to the work Of the peace
commission now in Paris. wherever they
assume to indicate a failure of nego-
tiatons a renewal Of hostnities and the
dispatch of a naval force to the Spanish
coast are purely speculative. AS mat
ter of fact the commission has not pro
gressed so far with It's work as to war
rant the attempt to draw a conclusion
as to the outcome.
II is moi even possible to predict the
length of the session with any accuracy.
The proceedings may last one month or
Fhree. That viii depend entirely upon the
view taken by the American commission
ers of the situation IN Paris. If they are
convinced that the negotiations are being
conducted with sincerity on the part of
the Spanish commission, there Will be no
effort made to force them beyond reason.
But If 1t should appear that the Spanish
position is not subject to change; that IL
is irreconciiable with the American de-
mands, and that the Spanish, knowing
this. are simply prolonging the proceed
ings our commissioners are likely to be
promptly recalled and this stale of affairs
may be found TO exist at any moment,
either within a week or three months,
which seems to be the limit of time al
lowed in any calculation.
Very naturally, Admiral Dewey Is one
of the most tEusted councillors OF the
American commissioners. Such informa
ton as he has been able to collect has al
ready been dispatched to the commission
ers in mailed reports and in addition to
this, the authorities here have cabled GER
tain extracts from the admirals observa-
tions, which are believed to be of special
importance just now.
He has not directly suggested that the
whole group be taken, nor that our claim
be limited TO Manila bay and the contigu-
Gus territory, but he has called attention
to one very important consideration which
has seemed to escape general observation
UP to this time and which has been laid
before the American commissioners. That
is, that with all the advantages in a COM
mercial way possessed by Manila, the
place is indefensible unless Subig bay be
also held by the United States. This par
ticular bay is, on the whole, regarded as
being superior from a strategic point of
view to Manila bay and the Spanish gov
ernment has evidently been of the same
mind for before the outbreak of hostilties
it was about to embark upon an extensive
scheme of defensive works In Subig bay.
