WILL ACCEPT OUR PROPOSALS.
That Is the Opinion at Paris is-Intervie@
with Senor a brazuZa.

with Senor a AbrazuZa.
Paris, Nov 25.-The Spanish commits
sioners at noon yesterday had not fixed
upon the day to submit their final an
swer to the American propositions, but
IL is deemed most likely that tomorrow
Will be the day appointed The opinion
gains ground that the SpaniarGs viii
accept the proposals of the United
States. a significant indicatio of this
view of the situation was a remark
dropped by SenoG Abrazuza. of the
Spanish commission yesterday, that
they expected to remain here about
fortnight longer. The secretary of the
Spanish commission, Senior Ojeda, sald
yesterday that the Instructions from
Madrid were not sufficiently matUred to
enable them 10 appoints the next meet
ing.
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press asked Senior Abrazuza if the com
missioners would be able to leave Paris
next week with the treaty and he re-
piled. with q sideiOnS glance, as though
to observe whether his questionsr
noted the significance Of the reply: 4
suppose we shall be here for another
fortnight"
Why" the Spanish commissioner
was asked. is the opinion expressed so
emphaticaIly by portion Of the Paris
oOO. but VIII sign the treaty with a pro-
test that 20. Do so only under the pres
sure Of superior power?'
We'll, it does seem that s20,0o00OO is
not very satisfactory"
This was the ssmi-eyasive manner in
which the Spanish diplomat answered
the question His questioner continued:
Then. il has been affirmed that Spain
viii refuse TO sign the treaty. decline
the money offered and make a protest
to the powers. and that her commits
sioners 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 50 you Anticipate n fortnight
more cf daily developments here2'
"Ah. YES. \ fortnight Perhaps
some affairs may De attended TO in that
time"
The Petit Bleu reaffirms as GER
tainty that the Spanish commissioners
VIII refuse the American offer OF s20.-
coo eco for a treaty cession Of the Philip
pines.

More Signs of Change of Rulers.
The members Of the colonial cabinet
rendered their designations to General
Blanco. who accepted them but re-
quested the secretaries to continue the
exercise of their functions until his
successor shall have taken possession.
General Blanco has announced his in
tention of leaving tomorrow or Monday
next by the steamer Villaverde. The
United States evacuation commission,
in an official note, yesterday requested
that the archives of the civil adminis-
tration be left here, as they would be
valuable to the incoming government.
The Spanish commission Immediately
replied, aCced;ng to the request.
Rumor Says Spain VIII MOI Sign.
New York. Nov. "a dispatch to The
World from Paris says: 1t is rumored
in Spanish circles that Spain will refuse
TO assent to Americas proposals" The
Temps says: IF Spain should withdraw
from the peace negotiations the war
would not be resumed. but the protocol
would come into force again. The Span
ish army would evacuate Cuba and Por-
TO Rico, while the Philippines would re-
main in Dewey's occupation, but not
Americas possession. The only result
would be that diplomatic relations would
not be renewed. Such a course is pre-
ferable to n renewal of hostiIities, but
one would rather wish to see move
nlent OF reason and conscience in the
United States, and not an abuse Of the
rights of a conqueror."
VIII Decide the Matter Today.
London. Nov. 25.-The Madrid corre-
spondent OF The Daily Mail says: The

but it is agreed in principle to authorize
Senior Montero Rios president of the

this decision will provoke an internal
crisis. The Carlist organ announces
that Don jaime, after n conference with
his father, left Venice upon a mysteri-
Gus journey in company with a promi-
nent Carlist leader"
