A WIDE FIELD FOR DIPLOMACY.
Paris, Nov. last Monday the
United States and Spanish peace com.
missioners left the definite limitations
Of the protocol and entered upon the
wide field Of diplomacy, where an open
question Is to be decided. Both com.
missions realize that the area Is ample
enough for some maneuvering, though
on the American side the tendency Is
TO evolutions more compact than those
Of the Spsnisrds. Both would un.
doubtedly be gratifed to reach a mu-
tual conclusion without compulsion.
At Mondays joint session the Ameri.
can commissioners laid down propo.
sition in two parts: First, that the
United States should take over the
Philippines entire; second, that, in SO
doing, they should reimburse to Spain
the sum Of her permanent and pacific
expenditure in the Philippines The
logic Of the situation compelled the
Americans to make the first move.
Having heard the American PROPOSE
tion, the Spaniards might have imme.
diately declined, as they certainly will
do at to-day's session. Whether they
will accomplish the refusal with
counter proposition has not been def
nitely ascertained, though at late
hour last evening that course seems
improbable. The result will be that
the commissions will retire from con.
fronting positions until one or the
other shall have reformed its lines for
the next meeting, which will probably
occur next week.

PREPARATIONS FOR WAR.
0rsat Britain's Strained Relations with
France May Cause Hostilitlss with
kuaala.

London. Nov. S.-The dispatch from
Wei-Hai-Wei announcing the wal
preparations Of the British naval
authorities there is regarded here as
being Of grave Importance, coupled
with the Anglo. French war prepare
tions. 1t is surmised that Russia,
profiting by the strained relations be-
tween England and France, has de.
cided to push forward her aims in the
far east by forcibly seizing the valu'
able treaty port Of Niu Chwang,
which Great Britain cannot permit il
Is said.
The dispatches from France an.
nounce equal activity at Toulon, Brest,
Marseilles and elsewhere. The Rome
correspondent Of the London Daily
Chronicle says: "France is making
great preparations at Bizorta, about
40 miles northwest Of TuniS Guns
and ammunition arrive daily and men
are strengthening the forts, working
day and night. The object is said to
cut communication between Malta
and Egypt in the event Of hostilities
with Great Britain"

Washington, Nov. 4.-By way Of
preparation for what may happen at
the meeting of the peace commission
ers in Paris to-day, 1t may be said that
the officials here have no idea that the
Spanish reply will' be an uncondi.
tional acceptanceof our last PROPOSE.
tion relating to the acquisition of the
Philippines. On the other hand, they
do not expect an unequivocal rejection.
What is likely to occur is that the
Spanish commissioners will come in
with counter proposition, the basis
of which probably will be consid-
erab!e increase in the sum Of
money to be paid to the Spanish
government for the Philippines. This
will open the way to negotiations on
that subject and, inasmuch as the
commissioners spent about six weeks
considering the sections of the proto.
col dealing with Cuba and Porto Rico, ii
is reasonable to believe that at least a
few days may be properly allowed for
the discussion OF the Philippines. In
short, 1t may be said that the officials
here do not expect final breach OF
relations between the commissioners
to occur to-day, Notwithstanding the
comments of unfriendly European
newspapers In that line.
