PARIS PEACE COMMISSION
London's Advices From Madrid Regarding
Attitude Of Spain.
Spanish Cabinet Discusses Questions
Bearing on Return of Troops
From the West Indies.

PARIS. October 13.-The American pea ce
commissioners held their usual session OF
three hours duration today. They will as
semble again at o'clock this afternoon.
LONDON, October l3.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Standard, referring to
the peace conference at Paris, says:
so far as Cuba is concerned, Spain will
probably yield regarding the artillery and
if longer delay for evacuation were al
lowed, she would assent to the transfer of
the administration of the island, together
with the military occupation by the United
States, from December l.
1.-The question of the debt is very diff
cult one. America is indisposed to accept
the cession of Cuba or annexation as ad-
vocated by the Spaniards, with a view of
saddling her with the debt and getting for
Spain better commercial conditions than
she could obtain from an independent
Cuban republic.
1.-The American contention is that only
the future government and parliament OF
Cuba can be considered competent 10 de-
eide whether to assume the debts Spain has
contracted during the last twenty years,
almost entirely to cover the expense OF her
struggles against the Cuban separatists
Regarding the Philippines, Spain has
grounds to believe that very nigh Amerl-
can ndNdl ana Hiillat dutioi i''S'
made representations to Washington against
the annexation of anything more than d
naval coaling station
MADRID, October 13.-The cabinet, at a
meeting today, discussed the questions
bearing upon the return of the Spanish
troops in the West Indies, and particularly
the evacuation of Cuba. The ministers
were very reticent in regard to the de-
cisions arrived at.
The council decided to release the Cuban
prisoners confined in the Biscaya prisons
and to permit them to return to Cupa.

MUST WAIT FOR PRIZE MONEY.
Auditor Morris Decides That Claims
Must Be Settled I'm Court.

Auditor Morris has carefully considered
the arguments of the claimants to prize
money for the destruction of Cervera's fleet.
but has decided that he cannot and will
not settle any of the claims until they have
been adjudicated by the courts of the
United States. He claims that the law on
the subject is too plain for any other In
depreciation His decision is. OF course.
final. and Will have to be abided unless he
is compelled by mandamus or otherwise to
settle Immediately. His decision will In
definitely postpone the time when the crews
of the fighting vessels will get the money
coming to them.
Auditor Morris also says that there is
no money in the treasury at this time I'd
pay these claims. He admits that there
is about sH0,oD in the treasury appro-
priated In former years for prize money,
but he says these appropriations were for
specific purposes. He says that the courts
will first have to determine all the ques-
tions relating to Cervera's fleet. and the
amount of money going to each American
officer or sailor, and that Congress viii
then have to appropriate the amount
awarded.
