conservative labor organizations in the

PARIS, Nov. 14.-Among the onlook-
ers here the impression exists-though
it is not the result of any official state
ment-that the Spanish peace commits
sioners will not consent to treaty
which the American commissioners
could sign.
1t seems almost possible, also, that in
che pitiable pressure to which the PAN
ish commissioners are subjected be-
tween their large creditors, who are on
the spot watching them, and the stern
attitude of the United States, the Span
iards may abandon their struggles and
leave the two forces to confront each
other.
The Spaniards, it has been arranged,
will inform the Americans today
whether they need the day to prepare
their next memorandum. II they want
today the meeting is expected to take
place tomorrow.
Under the rules of procedure adopted
by the conference, it is understood that
the deliberations may not be unex-
pectedly concluded by either side.
The statement was printed here that
the last memorandum from the Ameri-
cans is regarded by the Spaniards as
virtual ultimatum.
But, as a matter of fact, the Ameri-
cans have not presented an ultimatum
save as their treatment of the subjects
III hand may be unanswerable. 1t is
only since Wednesday last that the
Spanlards have begun to feel that the
Americans. purpose taking over the
Philippines, and that, too, without any
assumption of Spanish indebtedness.
AS they are now convinced of this, it
may be that Spain's next presentment
in conference will be the supreme rally
of her diplomatic, argumentative and
tactical forces. 1t may even mark the
conclusion of all she had to say, but if
the rules of procedure are followed the
Americans would still have another
presentation to submit.
Ever since Oct. it has been within
the range of possibility that at any
meeting an open rupture might occur,
and on one or two occasions, it might
have been easily a fact even before the
taking up of the Philippines question.
The boundaries of the field in which
that question is being worked out are
becoming more apparent and the angle
of final settlement cannot be far off.
Ii a treaty is to result here, 1t may
fairly be expected within three weeks,
although it is not true, as reported from
the United States, that the Americans
have instructions embodying a time
limit for the conclusion of the confer.

GETTING RID OF AMERICANS.
Gomez Doing the Same With Cubans,
Who Favor Annexation.

uomeZ DOIuS same Win CuDans,
Who Favor Annexation.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Nov. 14.-Caprain
Warren, an American, who has been
with General Maxine Gomez, says
Gomez will no longer have Americans
about him, and is getting rid of them
as fast as possible.
He takes the same course in the case
of Cubans suspected of favoring an.
nexation to the United States.
1t will be difficult, Captain Warren
believes, to get the majority of the in
surgents to disband. His idea is that
when the American authorities get con-
troll of the other portions of the island
they should give no rations and punish
severely all thefts of cattle and produce
He thinks, too, that there may be
some trouble with the insurgents be-
cause of their insisting on the right to
courtmartial delinquents among them
selves.

GERMANY'S WORD FOR 1T
Understood the Kaiser's Proposed Visit
to Spain Has Been Explained
to This Country.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-It is under
stood that assurances have been given
by the German government that the
visit of Emperor William of Germany
to Spain is entirely devoid of official
character or significance, that the off,
cial trip of the imperial party ended
when they left Palestine, and that the
proposed stop at Cadiz and Cartagena is
largely a health precaution in behalf of
the empress, as the sea trip would be
long and arduous if unbroken by these
stops at the Spanish ports.
The assurances appear to be volun-
tary on the part of the Berlin officials
and to be in line with the care taken in
that quarter of late TO minimize and re-
move the bad impression caused by sew
eral incidents occurring during the re-
cent war. The state department had
not, SO far as is known, taken cogni.
zance of the emperor's movements, and
certainly there was no purpose of in
quiring as to the stop at Spain, although
this action by the emperor was looked
upon as rather inopportune to say the
least, when the peace negotiations with
Spain are at critical juncture, and
"hoHs eoeAAdooiAy, eAO Whi 10 seAiA IL
progress.
At the same time Germany has con-
stantly reiterated her neutral and
friendly attitude, and the emperor him
self took occasion in his last address to
the reichstag to give strong expression
to the German purpose to maintain the
strictest impartiality between this gov
eminent and Spain. At the same time
the officials. here and in Berlin, have
recognized that a strong public senti-
ment of animosity was being developed
between the people of the two countries
and steps have been taken to Offset this
as far as possible.
