then visited the barracks, hospitals,

Colonel Petit reports that the Cuban
General Rios is apparently making
every effort to prevent the disbanding
OF his troops. The Cuban commander
wishes all the sugar estates in the
neighborhood to tell him how many
men they can employ. and he will guar
antee to supply all required on condi-
tion that only soldiers are employed.
The planters unanimously refuse to fall
in with such an arrangement. consider
ing that it would be trades union OF
the strongest possible kind and would
also tend to keep up the Cuban mili--
tary organization, which, in the inter-
ests Of the island. the planters are very
anxious to break up. In their opinion

than to attempt 1t on such conditions.

citement on landing than even General
Wood himself. Crowds gathered at

spa,n WIN Re.ist.

Paris, Nov. There was a strong
impression, which has been growing
here recently, that the Spanish, upon
receiving definite assurances of the
American determination to take the
entire Philippine group, would quit
the conference, but this view was modi-
fled by the attitude OF tho Spanish
newspapers which arrived here today.
These are found to have wheeled into
line with the Epoca OF October 81,
which demanded that the Spanish
commissioners should sign treaty in
Paris, no matter how onerous the con-
ditions imposed by the Americans.
Nevertheless. despite this attitude
Of tho Madrid press, and, despite the
statement given Friday last to the press
correspondent by the Spanish commits
sioner, who denied that the Spaniards
had any intention OF withdrawing. the
Americans here will not be surprised
II one OF more of the Spanish commits
sioners resign and practically close the
negotiations This feeling is based
upon the fact that Senior Rios early last
week would have resigned, II his SO
doing would not have imperiled the
Sagasta ministry; and the reasoning il
that, ii.while pressing the Cuban debt,
which is not mentioned in the protocol,
Senior Rios was inclined to resign, he
might, in the open field of contention
as to the Philippines, feel that resigna
tions would help Senior Sagasta, on the
ground that the demand of the United
States for the entire Philippine gieuI
would be extoTtionate.
It is believed here tonight. on the
eve OF taking up the main question
that the Spanish commissioners are no
likely to aequiesce here in any treaty
that the Americans would sign.

QUESTION IS SETTLED
America Will Take Over the
Philippines.
NOT ONE, BUT ALL OF THEM
If spain Refuses, Hostiiities VIII BE
Resumed and We VIII Seize
the Archipelago.

Paris, Nov. l.--Whiie the Spanish
and American peace commissioners
now stand on the threshold Of the
Philippine question, II seems probable.
in the light Of this hour. that the
United States will take over the en-
tire archipelago.
During the foui days just passed,
those in touch with. though possibly
not in the confidence OF the commits
sioners have felt the concentration OF
tendencies toward the standpoint in
dicated as likely to be occupied by the
United States commissioners at Tues
days session Of the two commissions.
In 1897 Spain issued, by royal decree.
bonds in the sum OF $40, 900, 900, to
which we're pledged the revenues Of the
Philippines, and to which the Spanish
national guarantee was added. From
these $40, 900. 900 Of obligations, spain
realized $50, 900, 900 In cash. These
$40. 900, 900 represent the Philippine
debt, which Is entirely outside OF the
$500, O0o, 900 Of the so-called Philippine
and Spanish debt.
The conditions also differ. the Philip
pine debt having been created by royal
decree because the archipelago vas not
q parliamentary colony, while the So
called Cuban debt was created by law.
The difference raises the question OF
the responsibility OF the Philip
mines when removed from the sovereign
+, ty under which Its resources were
pledged.
Should the United States absorb the
J Philippines, none but officials yet know
whether they will assume part or all
| OF this debt, or more than the Philip.
pine debt. The Americans have de-
clined to assume the Cuban debt be.
cause Cuba is not theirs; but in depos-
ing Spain in the Philippines, the Amer.
leans acquire the territory, and 1t Il
believed there will be some financial
assumption by the United States.
At this point arises the question o.
how much financial relief might com
pensate Spain toi her loss OF the Phil
| ippines. Some well-informed person.
believe that Premier Sagasta has deter
mined to be rid OF the PHILIPPINES, anC
would direct his commission to sign I
treaty by which the United State
should take the islands and assum'
$40, 600, 900 of debt. This proposition
finds support In the Partisan press
/ which today declares that resistance 1
impossible, and that Spain shoult
abandon the archipelago.
