Paris, Dec. 2.-The United States

presented to the joint commission in
form acceptable to the Americans.
There were Is articles laid before the
two commissions, covering the follow
ing subjects:

ereignty over and claim Of title to Cuba.
Second-The cession of Porto Rico
and other Spanish possessions in the

broken by the war.
The first three articles were mutually
agreed upon today, as were also the
articles embodying the terms of the
evacuation of the Philippines, which
will be principally the same as in the
evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rico.
The mutual release of military pris-
oners was agreed upon. Spain llberating
the rebel prisoners and the United
States liberating the Manila garrison
and the Spanish held by Aguinaldo.
The political prisoners to be released
by Spain are such as are now in exile
in Ceuta, in Morocco, or other Spanish
penal settlements.
Daily sessions will be held here, an d
it is now believed the work will be pos
sibly concluded this week, although so
early termination is not probable.
The foregoing list Of subjects under
consideration does not show the precise
order in which the articles were laid
before the Spanish commissioners to-
day, and, in fact, only eight of the
thirteen articles were discussed. Four
points arose about which the Spaniards
desired to consult Madrid, and two
upon which the Americans will consult
Washington.
After the session and the departure
of the Spaniards, the Americans re-
NAMED in the conference chamber for
an hour in executive session. The adj
journment was taken until 3 O'Clock
tomorrow.

ment. Spain rejects these principles.
the note continues, "as she always has
rejected them"
Basing her attitude upon the justice
of her cause, the note then says she
still adheres to these principles, (which
she has heretofore invariably formu-
lated"
However. the note adds, in her desire
for peace. she has gone SO far as to pro-
pose certain compromises, which the
Americans have always rejected. She
has also attempted to arbitrate some OF
the material particulars upon which the
two governments differed. These pro-
posals for arbitration. it is added, the
Americans had equally rejected. These
allegations in SPANS reply. as to at
tempted arbitration, refer to her pro-
posal to arbitrate the construction of
the third article of the protocol, and
also to submit the Spanish colonial debt
of Cuba and the Philippines to arbitra-
ton. The last proposition had been
made in written communication.
Since its presentation, and in return for
such arbitration, Spain offered to cede
the territory in dispute. The Ameri-
cans refused both propositions for arbi-
tration.
SPANS reply today in substance con-
tinued by declaring that the United
States has offered as kind of compen-
sation to Spain something very made
quate to the sacrifices the latter coun-
try makes at this moment, and she
feels that the United States proposals
could not be considered as equitable.
Spain has, however, exhausted all the
resources Of diplomacy and an attempt
to justify her attitude. Seeing that
an acceptance Of the proposal made to
Spain is necessary condition to con-
tinuance of negotiations. and seeing
that the resources of Spain are not such
as to enable her to re-enter upon war,
she is prepared. in her desire to avoid
bloodsked, and from considerations OF
humanity and patriotism, to submit to
the conditions of the conquering ma
lion, however harsh they may be. She
is therefore to accept the proposals OF
the Am0IlCdu COIuml6cAOus oS pi0o0A1 sS>A
at the last sitting.
The reading and the translation Of
the document occupied less than i've

to draw up articles which are to embody
the relinquishment of Cuba by Spain
and the cession Of Porto Rico and the
Philippines. These articles, which
may be considered as constituting the
conditions Of peace, will be ready for
submission on Thursday.
The commissioners left the foreign
office Immediately after the secretaries
had been directed to prepare the arti'
Giles Of the peace treaty.
There was scarcely any conversation
between the American and Spanish
commissioners after the adjournment.
Among the Americans only the most
grave consideration for their Spanish
colleagues was apparent.

Virginia Paid By Credit On An Old Debt

Washington, Nov. 21.-The comptrol.
Ter of the treasury today settled the
claim of Virginia for $4,000 for money
expended in fitting for the late war by
giving the State credit for that amount
IN what it owes the national govern
ment. Virginia State bonds are held by
the government to the amount of 1898,
900, which the State has long owed the
government. Consequently when it Pre-
scented the bill for So 900 the comptroller
seized the opportunity to parity cancel
the States obligation by crediting it
with that amount, leaving $4,000 still
due. Other States owe money to the
general government in sums running
from few Thousand to half million.
Among them are North Carolina, Ar
kansas, South Carolina, Florida, Ten
nessee and Texas, the entire indebted
ness. including that Of Virginia, being
81, Oe5, eco. When these States send in
their bills they will be paid in the same
manner as Virginia.
