PARIS, Nov. A.-The Spanish peace
.,mmIssloners, at noon to-day, had not
,, Crs1 upon the day to submit their anal
",.wer ~, TO the American propositions,
M, MI /, Is deemed most likely that satur-
S,y will be the day appointed. The
1,lnIon gains ground that the spaniards
MI accep. the proposals OF the United
states, A significant indication Of this
y,ev OF the situation was q remark
5r,pped by Senior AbarEusa, Of the
sr,p!sh commission, to-day, that they
s,pec,ed to remain here about a fort
night longer
The secretary Of the Spanish commits
slon Senior Ojeda, said to-day that the
distinctions from Madrid were not sufti-
ri,ntly matured to enable them to ap-
pclnt the next meeting.
The correspondent OF the Associated
press asked Senior AbarZuZa to-day II
,he commissions would be able to leave
paris next week with the treaty. and he
rtpl!ed, with a sldelong glance as
Isough to observe whether his questions
or noted the significance Of the reply:
II suppose we shall be here for another
SWhy," the Spanish commissioner
was asked, rs the opinion Expressed
50 emphatIcally by a portion OF the
Paris press that you will decline the
f.0OOO.OOO. but will sign the treaty With
a protes: tha. you do so only under the
pressure OF the superior power?"
"Weil, 1t does seem that $2OOOO,OOO IS
no. very satisfactory"
This was the seInl-evasive way IN
which the Spanish diplomat answered
II MS 81 questioner continued: "Then, 1t
has been affirmed that Spain will refuse
. sign the treaty, decline the money
offered and make a protest to the pow!
ere. and that her commissioners Will go
home. Is that the most likely result?'
"Ah but we should not anticipate:
We should know day by day what hap
Pens day by day"
and so you anticipate a fortnight
more Of daily developments here?"
An. yes, fortnight. Perhaps some
sfairs may be attended to in that
time"
Thanksgiving Day is cold, wet and
Iteary. The United States peace COM
rtssiOners were the guests OF Whitelaw

The Petit Bieu reafFirms to-day as a
certainty that the Spanish commission
