LONDON. Oct. PA dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph Company from
Paris says the American peace commits
sIoners at Fridays Joint meeting will
definitely insist upon the annexation of
the Philippine Islands to the United
States.
PARIS, Oct. 2l.-The American peace
commissioners were in session to-day
from 10 a. M, to almost p. M, when
they repaired to the Joint session. They
took with them carefully prepared
written answer to the amended pro-
posals of the spanlards regarding Cuba.
The consideration by the commissions
ers of the Porto Rico and Ladrones
question has now been merged with the
Cuban question. and all the points In
yolved are being carried forward to
simultaneous conclusion.
When this has been arrived at, the
Philippine question will be taken up OF
course, there is possibility of dis
agreement, and che spanlards, II the
American commissioners decide not to
assume any portion OF the Cuban In
deb,edness may announce their unwlll-
ingness to proceed any further with
Negotiations based upon the protocol.
Should the spanlards decide to do this,
IT will be because they wish to excite
the pity Of their creditors and OF other
nations The cortes may then be asked
to endorse thelr acton. In fact. Span
iards may even prefer a resumption of
hostllitias to acqulescepce in the Ameri-
can refusal to share their financial bur
den.
A Suggestion TO spain.
The Americans. however, have init
mated to the spanlards the possibility
that Spain may at some future period
be able to deal with an independent
government regarding theassumption of
tAe provincial and municipal portions of
the cuban debt, which is estimated to
have bcea sisoOOO,OOO before the last re-
